Given at PittsburG.

flood in the history of Western Penn

hight he expects the rivers to rise, he
admits the situation is grave. Expert
enced river men and people who for
years have watched the river and
hesitate to state that stage of thirty

OF foot higher than the flood of 1884.

ufacturing concerns and citizens whose
homes line the banks of the Monon-
gahela and Allegheny rivers, began to
meet the impending danger, which, it
was asserted at the Weather Bureau
tonight nothing could stop. The riv-
err railroads and river interests are
also preparing and were tonight
moving such property as would be dam
aged by water and ice.
The snow, which is holding back the
rain that has fallen, is rapidly disap-
pearing, and the expected cold wave
has been diverted to the northward.
Forecaster Ridgway remained at his
office all night. Warning was given
to prepare for the worst, and that
there was no limit to the possibilities
of the food.

Fight, if Necessary.
Toxic. Jan. 21.-The growing belief
that a peaceful settlement of existing
international difficulties will eventual
ly be attained, has served to strength
en- the financial markets, and stocks
are advancing on the local exchange.
The government, which has so far
received no communication from Rus
STA, remains silent, awaiting formal
response to its last note. The mere ac-
ceptance of Japan's proposals will not
suffice. Japan will unquestionably in
sist upon some definite plan of action,
besides mere promises, including re-
duction of the Russian fleet in Japa-
nese waters.
The government of Japan has ex-
pended a large amount of money in
preparation for war, and is now ready
to fight, and is naturally unwilling to
disarm, unless absolutely convinced
that her rights will be safeguarded.

Doing Great Work.

Florisant, Mo-, Dec. 19.-(Special.)-
That Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing a
great work in curing the more terrible
forms of Kidney Disease, such as
Bright's Disease, Dropsy and Diabetes,
everybody knows. But it must also be
noted that they are doing still greater
work in wiping out thousands Of cases
OF the earlier stages of Kidney Disease.
Take, for instance, Mrs. Peter Bar
teau of this place. She says:
Il have been subject to pains in my
back and knees for about three years,
but since l have been taking Dodd's
Kidney Pills / have been entirely
cured"
Others here tell similar stories. In
fact, i'll this part of Missouri there are
scores of people who have cured the
early symptoms of Kidney Disease
with Dodd's Kidney Pills. The use of
the Great American Kidney Remedy
thus saved not only the lives of Kid
ney Disease victims, but thousands of
other Americans from years of suffer

He WOuld Like to Know.

mind has recently addressed note to
the Village Improvement Society of
South Orange, N. j. The subject of
his investigation is one that is ia
miliar to most parts of the world but
no doubt the community of which the
inquiry is made will feel fattered by
this evidence of it's popularity.
The honorable Of the South Oranges
are asked in what way they rid them
selves of him the much troublesome
mosquito? How do they approach him
in his house among the reeds and
marshes, SO as to remove him effec-
tually from the dangers that he does
to people of good minds whose skins
he must puncture? All this would
like so much to know.
