Care for Sufferers
WITHOUT ANY OUTSIDE HELP

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 3.-The Mis-
sissippi river continues to rise, stage
OF 81 IL feet being shown at a. m,
This is a rise of 1.3 feet during the
past twenty-four hours. 1t is expected
that SO feet will be reached some time
today. In the meantime people all
along the river front, both here and in
East st. Louis, are preparing for the
big food Weather Observer Bowie
says of the situation:
"The river at Kansas City is report
ed as ten miles wide. Whatever the
cause of delay in arrival of the wa
ters from that food stage, the outlook
here becomes more encouraging. The
Mississippi below here is compare
lively low, which means water at
present in the st, Louis district will
move out rapidly. thereby possibly
permitting the Kansas City stage of
water to reach here Friday or Satur-
day at time when most Of the food
from the Des Moines river and upper
Mississippi will have passed here"

SOUTHERN JURIST DEAD
PASSING OF JUDGE JAS. e. COBB,
Ex. U. S. SENATOR FROM
ALABAMA.
Distinguished Southerner Spends His
Last Month in Las vegas-Member
Of Constitutional Convention.

Last night at 1920 clock JGdge
James r. Cobb, of Tuskegee, Ala, died
at his lodgings on the west side. His
wife, his son, w. P. Cobb, and laugh
ter, Miss Lucille were with him when
the dread messenger came.
Judge Cobb was one Of the most
famous men of the entire south For
twelve years he served as U. S. cong
ressman from the fifth Alabama dis
trict. His ability, integrity and zeal
as legislator won for him high place
in national esteem. For twelve years
deceased was circuit judge in his
rank. Judge Cobb was unanimously
elected member of the Alabama con-
stitutional of 1901
His health beginning to fail, he
sought the pure air and salubrious
conditions of the southwest, coming to
Las Vegas only a month ago. General
debility. rather than the tubercular
trouble that had made some advance,
was the cause of death.
The gentleman seemed to gain
strength until about a week ago, when
he became seriously i'll. His family
was summoned, arriving Friday last.
Deceased had reached the age of sixty
seven years. The body will be ship
ped this evening for burial at Tuske-
gee, the family accompanying.

Overlooking the Morse

While most horses on the farm are
properly fed, and in some cases under
fed rather than Overfed, there are
farmers who are not judiclous feeders,
and when the animal gets out OF or
der they depend upon condition pow
.ders to set it straight instead Of regu-
lating the feed. 1t may not be gener-
ally known that prolonged use of
condition powders will produce indi-
gestion of a most violent type. Horses
that are fed on grains largely, and
who do not perform IA great deal of la
Dor, are quite liable to Indigestion, and
the easiest way to cure the trouble is
to cut off the grain for a week or more
and feed exclusively of bran mashes
and good hay.
