Possibility Of a Flood.

A great deal of interest is being
taken just now in the prospects for a
flood in the Red river valley this
spring. That there is possibility OF
one is not doubted. But opinions diff
fer as to the probability. The bed oi
the Red river is narrow, with high
precipitous banks, and light precipi
tation over the great area Of country
drained is sufficient to change its
level many feet. AS rule, the water
is flowing freely near the head from
two to three weeks before the ice has
broken at the mouth. This condition
causes the ice to gorge all the way
down, and when, as at present, there
is heavy snowfall, high water is In
evitable.

getting the DIR. Howard Go. to make a

This medicine is a recent discovery

relief, but it makes permanent cures.
DIR. Howard's specific has been SO
remarkably successful in curing con-
stipation, dyspepsia and all liver troub.
les, that Clifton & Raymond are will
ing to return the price paid in every
case where it does not give relief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing

harsh purgatives will soon be a thing
of the past. The best physicians are

cause it really gives the desired re-
suits and on account of the small and
