FLOOD MAKES BIG LOSS.
Heavy Rain in Baltimore Causes the
Overflow of Jones' Fall.

Baltimore, July 10. - The flood
which was caused by the overflow of
Jones Falls, stream which runs
through the central part of the city
and which resulted from cloud
burst at Timonium, in Baltimore
county, has completely subsidized. The
water in the Falls fell almost as
quickly as it rose. The total loss is
roughly estimated at $4,000. The
suburban towns of Mount Washing
ton, Lutherville, Cockeyville, Melvale
and other points were hemmed in I'M
til an early hour this morning, but so
far no report of the loss of life has
been received. Hundreds of farmers
were compelled to abandon their
houses and flee for their lives. In
many instances their homes were car
ried away in the flood. No accurate
estimate of the losses in the county
can now be made, but the aggregate
will be large.

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa Pa, July .-(SpeciaD-
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
that of Mrs. M. l.. Dawson OF this
place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
81 have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine | have ever taken.
l was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since | took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full il it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

Mr. Root has retainers aggregating

Paul Morton, secretary of the navy,

has been closer to the President than
any cabinet member he has ever
had.
That the office of Secretary of State
would of itself appeal to Mr.. Root is
very much doubted. Some time ago
President Roosevelt is represented to
have said that Mr.. Root could fill any
position in the cabinet with credit

"Swiftwater Bill's" Troubles.

William c. Gates, better known as
"Swiftwater Bill" one of the most
noted characters of early Klondike
days, is defending the second divorce
suit brought by his third wife. The
case is being tried in Seattle. Gates
in the early days at Dawson was a
much-talked-of person because of his
marriage and strange courtships. The
wife who is now suing him for divorce
brought suit last April, but the court
refused to grant decree and no pro-
vision was made for the two children
of the marriage. At the present time
Gates is working some rich claims
and is reported to have again made a
fortune Mrs. Gates. formerly dance
hall performer, is the younger OF two
sisters whom her husband married.

Insomnia.

This very common condition is
most often due to six O'Clock dinners
or eating in the evening. To secure
sound sleep, no food should be taken
after 4 p. m, or at least nothing more
than little ripe stewed fruit, without
cream, and with as little sugar as pos
sible, better with none. Oranges or
some other juicy fruit are preferable
for an evenings lunch. Avoid bread
and butter or milk, and similar artl-
Giles which digest slowly. Fruit juices
and completely predigested food sub
stances may be added in moderation,
Tea and coffee also produce sleep
lessness. Sedentary habits conduce
to sleeplessness by promoting the &C.
emulation of uric acid, which is a
nerve excitant, and gives rise to rest
lessness and disturbing dreams.

consisting of towel wrung quite dry
out of cold water and wound around

exceedingly helpful measure in pro-
ducing sleep in cases in which sleep
lessness is due to excess of blood In

keep the feet warm. If necessary, a
hot bag may be applied to the feet or
a moist pack to each leg. If the head
is hot, cool compress may be ap'

Chairman Shonis Announces the New
Canal Policy
TO Be MADE MORE HEAL THFUL.
After That, Attention viii be Direct
ed More Particularly to Construc-
ton of Canal - Not Much yellow
Fever Says Sonts.

Washington, July S.-Life on the
isthmus of Panama is to be made
healthful, comfortable and enjoyable
before the real work of digging the
canal is begun, according to an an
nouncement of policy made today by
Chairman Shonts, of the Panama
canal commission. Mr.. Shonts said;
"Our first duty is to create sound
underlying conditions. This is now
vastly more important than the NOV
ing of dirt. The men must have suit
able houses in healthy surroundings;
they must have wholesome and nour-
ishing food at reasonable cost; they
must have suitable transportation IA
cilities to get to and from their work.
and they must have opportunity for
recreation afforded them.
1T will be the policy of the com
mission to provide these essentials as
quickly as possible and to increase
the working force, aside from the
mechanics necessary to provide these
necessities, only as fast as the facili-
ties indicated can be furnished. The
commission realizes that its adher-
ence to this, policy will result in the
actual handling of less quantities OF
material temporarily, but it also
knows that, with healthy underlying
conditions, vastly more will be &C
complished later on at less cost and
with less friction.
ut will also be the invariable pol
icy of the commission to give to the
public the actual conditions as they
exist on the isthmus, without any at
tempt either to color or to conceal
So much has been said by the press
of an exaggerated character about
conditions there that it may be wise
to recapitulate the facts regarding
yellow fever. There have been be-
tween 5000 and 10000 employees on
the isthmus since the disease first ap-
peared in May. During that month
there were twenty canal employees
stricken and two deaths. In June
thirty canal employees were stricken
and four deaths, two of these dying
being Americans appointed in the
United States, and two persons APP
pointed locally on the isthmus. There
were also three cases of fever among
employees of the Panama Railroad
Company and no deaths. During the
month of July, up to the present
there have been no new cases and
there is but one employee under treat
ment.
"As an evidence of the considera-
ton the creation of health conditions
is now receiving. it may be well to
state that IL IL per cent of the total
number Of employees assigned to that
work, under Governor Magoon.
"In regard to the wages paid and
the statements that so many men
have left because of reduction in
salaries. the fact is that wages, in
stead of having been reduced, have
been very considerably increased in
every branch of the service on the
isthmus during the life of the pres
ent commission. 1t will be the fixed
practice of the commission as far as
practicable, to fill the higher and more
desirable positions by the promotion
of deserving employees. The entrance
or beginners salary for the clerical
positions, such as book-keepers,

Stable and Conditions.

1.-THE condition and health of a
horse" says the National Builder, de
pend very much upon the kind of
stable it is kept in. There are horses
which suffer from disease of the eyes,
from coughs, from scratches and
other skin diseases, all of which are
produced by the pungent, foul air in
the stables. Farmers and others who
have horses will take pains to keep
their carriages and harnesses protect
ed from the strong ammonical air of
the stables, lest the leather may be
rotted or the varnish dulled and spot
ted: and at the same time they will
wonder why their horses cough, or
have weak eyes or blindness, or
suffer from other diseases which, if
they would only think for few min.
utes they would readily perceive are
due to the foul air the animals are
compelled to breathe every night in
the year while confined in close, badly
ventilated stables. The remedy is
very easy. The stable should be kept
clean: this will prevent the greater
part Of the mischief. and 1t should be
well ventilated. The floor should be
properly drained, so that the liquid
will not remain on it. washed of al

FARMERS GET SCARED.
Smoky Hill and Republican Rivers
Highest This Year.

Junction City, Kan, July 10.-The
Smoky Hill and Republican rivers
were higher today than any other
time this year. This evening the
Smoky Hill is thirteen and half feet
above the low water mark and practi-
cally at a standstill. The Republican
river is up nine and half feet and
rising steadily. Both streams are
bank full, as is the Kaw at Fort Riley.
Today the Republican overlooked its
banks north of this city and inundat-
ed a large acreage of wheat. Much
of the bottom land along the Republi-
can in this county will be overfiowed
by morning. A great amount of wheat
and driftwood have been passing here
all day.
Farmers along the Republican are
alarmed and have everything ready
for moving to higher ground.
