CLOSE ESCAPE FROM DROWNING

Fort Scott, Kas.. April 25.-Fors
Scott is experiencing the most serious
flood in its history. Marmaton river
and Nlill creek. which runs into the
former stream here have risen ten feet
in the past twenty-four hours, the re-
suit of heavy ruins. Several hundreds
OF persons have been rescued in boats
As far as known last night no lives
have been lost. The estimated loss TO
live stock drowned and property dan'-
aged is 100000. The two streams be-
gan to rise at 10 O'Clock Saturday
night and yesterday the city was d.
vided into three sections and almost
completely isolated. Normally Mil

mel that cut across one end of the
city. Last night the entire north
ern part of the city was cut off, and
part of the city is inundated. Ten fee.
of water is rushing thru the streets In
that part of the city and several hun
dred persons in what is known as Bell
flown have been forced to leave the.r
homes. Many We're taken away in
boats. There We're several narrow
escapes from drowning. Many who re :
fused to leave Belltown yesterday will
still have to be taken away in boats,
as all avenues of escape have now been
cut off.
The gas works is three feet under
water and has closed down. The en-
.gines and pumps at the water station
are twenty feet under water. The
Southwestern Wholesale Grocery Com
pany's warehouse is flooded and the
water has reached the office.
The wholesale district is completely
surrounded and the water in East Wall
street is within an inch or two of the
business houses. Merchants are remov-
ing their stocks to higher places. The
Missouri Pacific shops are from three
to six feet under water, the Missouri
Kansas & Texas station is surrounded
and the water is within a few inches
of the Missouri Pacific depot. All the
railroads are tied up. Bridges on both
these roads over the Marmaton are
threatened, as are the town bridges.
Washouts are reported in all directions
from Fort Scott. Much damage has
been done to farm property and there
will be heavy loss by drowning of
stock in the lowlands near the city,
which are from five to ten feet under
water.
1t is estimated that 900 persons are
homeless.

part OF the state The rain began fall

to the Lake Superior Consolidated
! Company 100000 as a starter in its
reorganization scheme.
| For some time the reorganization
has been so far completed that 1t was
certain IL the government would guar
antee these railway bonds, the rest
of the funds required would be forth
coming from old stockholders and any
| financial elements that have been in
| fused into the enterprise. The new
company will have capitalization of
$40, 600, 900, which is much larger than
that of the old company, but was nee
essarily made so In order to look af-
ter the interests of the old stockhold-
ers, as well as to offer inducements to
fresh capital.
The passage of the guarantee bill
by the legislature, and the now certain
reorganization of the Lake Superior
Power Company, Is entirely due to the
energy, courage and determination of
Il. H. Clergue. the father of the orisi-
nal enterprise. Overwhelmed with re-
serses and rebuffs that would have
discouraged any other man. Mr.. Cler-
gue has kept at his reorganization work
and has camped on the trail of the
legislature until his hopes have been
realized. The vote was on strict party
lines, the liberal ministry supporting
the measure and all of the conserya-
tives voting against 1t.
Mr.. Clergue feels that. in view of
the immense amount Of railroad
building in the Canadian west and
the tremendous industrial develop
ments now going on there, accompa-
MED by an immigration of more than
100000 a year, the success of the re-
organized company is assured. The
work of the Dominion government
with the Grand Trunk Pacific requires
that all the material for the new road
should be purchased in Canada as far
as that is possible. AS the only steel
rail mills in the Dominion are those
OF the 500, it is certain that the Lake
Superior Company, will receive enor-
nous contracts during the next few
years.

Kills Inside Germs

The greatest value Of Liquozone
lies in the fact that it kills germs in
the body without killing the tissues.
too. And no man knows another way
to do it. Any drug that kills germs is
a poison, and it cannot be taken in
ternally. Medicine is almost helpless
in any germ disease, as every physi-
clan knows.
Liquozone will do for sick humanity
more than all the drugs in the world
combined. 1t does what no skill can
accomplish without it. 1t cures dis
eases which medicine never cured.

are made part of the liquid product.
The result is product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, is the very source of vital
ity, the most essential element OF lite.
Liquozone is vitalizing tonic with
which no other known product can
compare. Yet it is germicide SO GER
tain that we publish on every bottle
an offer OF $1,000 for a disease germ
that it cannot kill.
The reason is that germs are vege-
tables; and Liquozone, which-like
life to an animal, is deadly
to vegetal matter. 1t is carried by
the blood to every cell of every tissue.
and no touch Of impurity, no germ OF
disease, can exist where Liquozone

This Company, after testing Liquo-
zone for two years in the most difficult
germ diseases, paid $4,000 for the
American rights. That is the highest
price ever paid for similar rights on

There are two kinds Of bolero which

The latter bolero appears in many diff

gan to talk detected an unlnistakable
tremor in his tones and decided that he
was in a state Of suppressed agitation,
though he appeared to have nothing
more alarming to impart than the fact
that he had seen light burning In
some house presumably empty.
1t was all so trivial that gave him
but scant attention till he let q name
fall which caused me to prick up my

in every eye. 1.-The house which the law
will give me, II anything ever happens

left behind him"

who showed decided inclination to
lie down where he was, the old man
made for the door and in another mo-
ment would hive been In the street,
If I had not stepped after him.

In an instant, and he curtly but not |
unkindly remarked:

monious than many another mans |
