became discouraged.
Then he consulted another doctor
who after thorough examination told
him he was on the verge OF appendicitis
and that an operation was necessary
which he would perform for $50. My
husband consulted me and l refused
my consent as several of our friends had
been operated upon, one of whom had

Under Water, Owing to Floods.
The Iowa Central is threatened with
damage to track on its Illinois divis-

into the Peoria yards. kickapoo
creek. a stream tributary to the Illi-
.nois river. is out of its banks, and has
covered the lowlands at the foot OF
Kickapoo HILL heavy grade on the
Illinois division. The Centrars tracks
on Thursday were under one and one
half feet of water. and No. 3, the even
ing passenger Thursday evening. was
compelled to run carefully thru the
torrents In order to get out OF Peoria.
So warm has the weather been that the
ice in the creek has rotted. The heavy
rains of the past few days have brok
en- the ice, and started it moving.
Gorges have formed at several points,
and small ridges have been swept
away. Unless the water recedes
quickly the Central fears its tracks will
be washed away.
