/ suffered from nervous prostration / found
no relief except when doctors gave morphine.
To get rid of suffering took morphine my
self as it was the only thing that would give
ease, and now you, who point with scorn at
morphine using, how could you, when in
such agony, knowing it about the only thing
that would give relief, resist it, / knew it
was terrible habit and knew of its deadly
grasp, but / never fully realized its signih-
canoe until had used it a number of months.
Oh, the misery of being addicted to such
habit / resolved then and there to quit it
and resolved would never be slave to any
such demon. About this time happened to
notice DR.. Miles Restorative Neryine adver-
tised and ordered bottle. After using five
bottles can truthfully say am cured of

PROBABLE RESULT or PLANS BEING
LAID BY SENATORS.
Roosevelt Would Admit Oklahoma Only,
but Is Against IRdian Territory Sen.
ators VIII EndeavOr to Sfdetrack the
Measure by Talking on Trust Legis-
latiOn Throughout the Session.

washington, Jan. THE resump-
tion Of the debate on the statehood
bill yesterday gives rise to number
OF rumors as to methods which may
bring about it's defeat. IL is reported
that President Roosevelt would veto
the one-state bill which the majority
OF the committee favor, coupling Okla
homa, and Indian Territory together.
and that the President favors a single
state out OF Oklahoma alone. without
either New Mexico or Arizona being
admitted with it, or Indian Territory
made part of It,
Ifsuch bill had passed the House at
the last session, 1t would no doubt
have become a law, as it is recog-
nized that Oklahoma Is entitled to
statehood. Another suggestion is
made that the statehood bill win be
sldetracked by bringing forward anti
trust legislation, the Hoar antitrust
bill or some similar measure to be re-
ported to the Senate, when 1t will be
taken up for discussion, but without
any idea Of passing it.
1t Is believed that motion to take
up an antitrust bill would command
democratic votes, even against the
omnibus statehood measure and thus
the omnibus BILL which holds its place
because a majority seems to favor It,
would be pushed aside.

CRISIS IS PAST.
Washington Floods Have Ceased to Rise,
but Recede Very Slowly,

Seattle, Jan. 1.-THE flood situation
south Of Seattle does not seem8to be
greatly improved. Only the most
meager particulars from the various
points have been received. The first
casualties as a result of the rising Of
the water are reported from O'Brien,
on the Northern Pacific between Sc
attle and Tacoma. There the water
is six or eight feet high, and last
night 1t was rushing past the houses
with the swiftness Of a mountain cur
rent. Two men, Martin Cummings
and f. Shaughnessy, were IN boat
rescuing people from second-stofy
windows, and on one of the trips the
boat capsized and Cummings and
Shaughnessy were both drowned
From Orillia comes the news that
the water has receded about six
inches, but that half of the town Is
still indoors or compelled tx go about
in boats. Many head of cattle are i'm
prisoned in barns standing ii two and
three feet OF water.
No trains are running through the
flooded districts, the Northern Pa
cific making no effort to resume oper-
ations between this city and Tacoma.
The wagon and railroad bridge
across Nesqually River were in dan
gerous condition, but 1t is thought
they will be saved, as the flood Is sub
siding No train has reached Olympia
from Portland since Friday.
Deschutes River is raging and the.
highest volume of water is pouring
over the falls known in years.
The greatest loss by the flood has
been the bottling works belonging to
the Olympia Brewing Company,
wrecked Friday night, and damaged
to the extent Of 100000. Fine weather
today will probably avert any further
calamities.
A lake of water 20 miles long, and
from one to five miles wide, and vary
ing in depth from three to 20 feet,
covers the entire White River Valley
between Seattle and Kent. The like
was never known before In all the
history of King County w. II. Al
word, farmer living near Kent, who
settled here over 40 years ago, said
tonight that never IN MS experience
was there such a flood as prevails
today.
The damage done by the waters in
King County alone will reach at least
100000, and in all likelihood when
all the facts are known it will reach
double this sum. At least 800 fami-
lies in the valley have been rendered
practically homeless by the floods,
and their household goods have been
welI-night destroyed. Hundreds of
head of sheep and hogs have been
drowned, while other livestock has
suffered.
