TRAINS WITHDRAWN
Traffic Is Demoralized by
the Floods to the East

Traffic over the Sierra Nevada was
completely demoraliZed yesterday. and
two overland trains which should have
left this city last night were annuled.
The rapid melting OF the snow in the
mountains, together with the unprece-
dented rainfall, is responsible for the
disastrous floods.
The Southern Pacific Company an
nounced last evening that 800 feet of
the track near F1oriston was ten feet
under water and that all through traffic
on the Ogden route would be suspended
until the water receded. A force of
men is waiting to repair the track as
soon as conditions permit. The Over
land Limited, China and Japan Mail,
Fast Mail and Atlantic Express have
been temporarily withdrawn Local
trains will run between San Francisco
and ColfaX and possibly to Truckee.
leaving San Francisco at IL a. m. and
p. m.
The rise in the Feather River has
necessitated the running of train l6 via
Davis, Willows and the west side of the
Sacramento Valley. Passengers for
points between Tehama and Marysville
will be carried to Tehama and back on
the east side to their destination. Late
reports show that the Coast line, San
Joaquin Valley line, Shasta route and
the west side of Sacramento Valley are
in good condition.
Several trains were held at the
Floriston break, and among them one
which had on board a company which
was to have played here last night

than during the last flood and rising
at the rate of four inches an hour.
There was two feet of water in the
main street yesterday. The Northern

Cure for Drunkenness.
Orrine Treatment is to Be Used at
Home Without Publicity or Loss
of Time from Business.

Thousands of persons who really
want to quit the use of whisky or beer
realize that they cannot do so with
out medical help, yet they can not af-
ford the time or perhaps the money to
go to Il sanitarium. Happily a new
cure for drunkenness has been discoy-
cred which is TO be taken at home and
costs less than the average drinker
will spend in 4 day for drink.
In using Orrine there is absolutely
no publicity. as the remedy is sold by
the leading druggists in nearly every
city and town, or it can be sent by
mail. Sure relief is positive when Or
rine is used. So uniformly successful
is this treatment that in every box is
n registered guarantee which entities
you To a refund of your money if Or
rine fails TO effect cure.
Orrine is in two forms: No. /, Sc
cret remedy. absolutely tasteiess and
odorless. which can be given in fool
or drink without the patients knowl-
edge; No. 9, in pill form for those who
wish to be cured. The price of either
form is 81 box. Send TO the Orrine
company, Washington, ID. c., for free
booklet and consultation blank.
The desire for liquor is soon destroy
ed after Orrine treatment is commenc-
ed. and before long the patient is freed
from the terrible drink craving, and
the drink will not be missed.
Orrine is for sale by Harper house
