Damage by Indiana Floods.

Indianapolis, March 29.-Northern.
and central Indiana, including the cap
ital city, have seen the worst of the
flood and are now repairing the heavy,
damage.
Eight lives have been lost in the
flood in two days and the total prop,
erty loss in the state has been esti-l
mated at A'om 81, 100000 to $4,000 900.
Cities and towns at the headwaters
OF the Wabash and White rivers have,
only slime and mud left by the reced-,
ing flood to contend with, but south
western Indiana has yet to see the
worst. The crejt of the food will
reach the Ohio river in two days. The.
White river at Indianapolis reached
fifteen feet. seven and three-fourths,
inches above low water mark. record
height 1t is expected the damage in
this county will reach $2,225.O0O and.
north Of this county an additional ST.
100000. In this city 1900 families were
driven from their homes. The city au-
thorities yesterday resolved upon is
suing 100000 flood bonds to repair
the damage to the public utilities, but
1t is expected the loss in this one feat
ure will be more than double that fig
ure. Yesterday the city was almost
entirely without traction service and
water. 1t is expected the water works
Will partially resume to-day.

New York Central Railroad Company.

came back to him. indorsed in big,

Afterwards, when the Pennsylvania
railroad had taken up the automatic

call on him. The young inventor re-
turned the letter, indorsed on the bot

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. D., March 2S.-Quite
q sensation has been created here by
the publication of the story of G. w.
Gray who, after special treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given up to die with
Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr..
Gray. there is remedy which will
cure it even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
II was helpless as little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's Disease, hoping that l would
be able tC find remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. praise God
for the day when l decided to do so
for this remedy met every phase OF
my case and in short time | was
able to get out of bed and after few
weeks treatment / was a strong. well
man. Dodds Kidney Pills saved my
life."
A remedy that will cure Bright's
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are GER
tainly the. most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
given to the world.

SENATOR GUILTY
BURTON OF KANSAS CONVICTED.
Sold His Official Influence to Fake
Grain Specializing Company Of
St, Louis,

Il
St. Louis.
st. Louis, March 29.-Joseph Ralph
Burton, United States senator from
Kansas, was convicted by jury in the
United States District Court yester-
day on the charge of having accepted
compensation to protect the interests
of the Rialto Grain & Securities Com
papy of st. Louis before the postoff1ce
department. The jury deliberated for
ty-one hours.
No similar case has ever been known
at Washington. and the action of the
! Senate is problematical.
Kansas lawyers say conviction va
,, Gates Burton's seat and at Topeka ]. L.
Bristow and Cyrus Leland are men
toned for the place.
A motion for a new trial was imme-
diately filed by the counsel for the
senator. Judge Adams thereupon or
dered that Senator Burton appear in
court either in person or by proxy at
10 O'Clock from day to day until the
court has heard the argument for a
new trial, and if decided against him,
to fix his punishment.
/ For time there threatened to be a
disagreement in the jury. The jury,
was brought before Judge Adams, who
asked the cause for the long delay. He
was told that eleven jurors had agreed,
but the twelfth stood alone.
l. The court admonished the lone Juror
that the expenses of a new trial
should not be incurred because of him
waiting to agree with the majority Of
| the jurors. A precedent was quoted
showing that the majority of the jurors
should decide the case before them and
a verdict be rendered accordingly. The
jury was then told to poll it's vote once
more. Soon after the jury reported,
| bringing in a verdict, but Judge Adams
found that the third count in the in
dictment had not been considered, and
again he sent the jury back to con-
slider the case. without having an
nounced the verdict returned.
The third time the jury entered the;
courtroom the result of its delibera-
tions was announced, and United
| States Senator Burton stood convicted
| on the charges brought against him in
the Indictment.
If this verdict is sustained Senator
Burton will lose his seat in the Senate
| and forever be prohibited from hold
| ing any office of public trust. Each
count constitutes a separate offense
and Senator Burton could receive a
penitentiary sentence of two years or
o. $4,000 fine on each count. Senator
Burton's conviction is the first under
this section of the statute. which was
enacted by congress in 1864.
When seen at the Southern hotel
later Senator Burton declined in any
manner to discuss the verdict.
you certainly appreciate the situa-
tion and understand that l have moth
ing to say" he said.
| Apparently he was very nervous and
his appearance was worn, the anxiety
of the past week having left its effect.
Senator Burton was indicted in Janu-
airy last Although as a member of
Congress he could not be arrested until
after that body adjourned. he volun-.
tarly surrendered himself to the
prosecuting authorities. He still had
| two years to serve in the Senate
