Jack Porter's Mammoth Store Does
Not Look Like Same Place.
Jack Porter has made wonderful
improvement in his big store and
has had two large windows put on
the south side of the store. The
worst feature was that the store
room was very dark, but it is now
m9 bright as day. Mr.. Porter's goods
are nlgn class and bear inspection,
and the added light sets them off to
much better advantage and the
store does not look like the same
place. His motto is Jack Porter

Cheap'' He is abreast with the
times and on. the lookout for i'm
provements Men that are imbued
with the hustling spirit which char
acterizes Jack Porter are deserving
of success.

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.
tFrom the Sentinel. Gego. Mont,

tFrom tne Sentinel, Gego, Mont.)
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlement in 1850, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which, together with the severe heat,
gave him a severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him one small bottle
of chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar.
rhoea Remedy as last hope. A big
dose was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony, and
in few minutes the dose was repeated.
The god effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for q
fortnight. The one little bottle worked
complete cure. and he cannot help but
feet grateful. The season for bowel dis
orders being at hand suggests this item.

HOUSES FLOAT
AT LA CROSSE
River Is Above the Danger
Line and Rapidly Going
Higher.

LA CROSSE, Wis, May 31.-WhiIe
moving furniture in a boat from his
home Paul Wickers was drowned to-
day. The water has passed the gov
ernment danger line and is rising rap
idly. On the North side many small
houses are afloat and two feet Of water
stands in many houses. A rise of an
other foot will inundate the wholesale
quarters. Four railroads at Grand
Crossing are under water. People on
the outskirts of La Crosse are in dis
tress. Many escaped drowning today.
River Rising at All Points.
HANNIBAL, Mo-, May 31.-The rise
in the Mississippi river has brought
heavy damage to the islands and bot
tom lands in this section. Thousands
of acres of corn and other crops are
submerged and everything Is ruined,
including all farm property as well
as dwellings, and more than half the
live stock. The residents escaped to
the Missouri shore. In Hannibal the
water is far up on the levee and resi-
dents of the "squatters section have
been compelled to leave their homes.
The gauge at the Hannibal bridge reg
listers fourteen feet eight inches above
low water mark or one foot and eight
inches above the danger line. Tele-
phone and telegraphic reports show
that the Mississippi river is rising at
all points up to st. Paul. Minn

TOPEKA, Kan, May 31.-There is
ground for hope that the worst has
passed. The five miles wide Kansas
river is settling back into it's right
full channel. Tonight City Engineer
McCable issued a bulletin giving out
the cheering intelligence that the wa
ters had subsided to the extent of ex-
actly seven and a half inches. It may
be some hours before another drop
may be noticed. With IT'S or 200 lives
lost, millions of dollars of property
destroyed, with hundreds of pistol
shots as signals Of distress, blended
with the agOnizing cries of unwilling
inhabitants Of treetops and roofs of
houses, and the waters creeping up
ward and then slowly subsiding, and
alternately rising, changing hope to
despair, the capital city has passed
the most memorable Sabbath day of
its existence. To all this discomfort
ing condition of affairs was added the
presence of a cold, dismal rain.
The ardor of the work of the heroic
rescuers was not abated in the least
by the conditions which confronted
