below Shreveport, had given way;
at Aloha a heroic fight was being
made To strengthen the levees
which threatened to collapse,
while still other points were being
threatened.
At that time the water was still
rising and forecasts were for it to
continue to do SO for severai days.
1t is stated by many that the flood
will be the worst IN the history of
Red river. 1t was then conceded
that the fate of the valley crops
was in the hands of the stream
and with continued rise for four
or five days, all efforts would
prove unavailing and the flood
would prove victorious.
The Taylortown lcvee gave way
early Monday morning. This is
Il most disastrous condition. 1t
is IA miles below Shreveport and
will flood Il vast territory of cul-
tivated land. The acreage affect
ed will comprise between $4,000
and 100000 acres. 1t has also
added fresh disaster to the l.. K.
& n. track and is continually
contracting the operations of the
trains. The road between Alex
audria anG Shreveport is virtually
out of business.
In Shreveport the high water
has driven several important
plants to abandon their business
and covered the railroad tracks
on Cross Bayou.

Rock Island Extension.

Last Sunday the Rock Island
began the operation of a mixei
train from Winfield to Packton
over its own line. 1t is stated
that a passenger train will be run
over this line to Alexandria by
the first of next month. This
will give Winfield three distinct

Alexandria.
1t Is also noted that the Rock

and ballasting the line. 1t is

The L. r. & N. Co.

i his fine line of railroad that
extends from Shreveport to New
Orleans, traversing the Red river
and Mississippi valleys, has been
seriously crippled and hampered
in its operations by the high
water that is now flooding the
Red river flluvial lands. Under
the most diverse conditions the
managers have determinedly en-
deavored TO keep up their COM
munications between the two
cities of its terminii.
At the present time they are
operating through freight and
passenger trains via WINFIELD.

RIVER CONDITIONS
ARE DISASTROUS
Some of the Results of Pres emit
Food In the Great Valley
of Red River.

More or less rumors are being
constantly published about the
present high water in the Red
river basin, yet the reality as it
exists shows Il most deplorable
condition of affairs throughout
the valley. \ remarkable feature
connected with the present flood.
that has not heretofore prevailed.
Is the fact of the stream being at
The flood tide from its source to
its mouth. Heretofore there have
been depresSions in the passage
of Ligh water, but this year the
whole channel of the stream is
full from bank to bank. This
makes the conditions more threat
ening and results more disastrous
as there is no relief from the
pressure of the water against the
banks and every rain, which have
beer unusually frequent and cop
ious, but add their quota to the
constantly accommodating flood.
Since the last issue of The Sem
tinel several disastrous breaks
have occurred along the upper
stream flooding thousands of acres
of land and destroying valuable
crops of corn, cotton. alfalfa. and
truck farms. The destruction has
been widespread, hundreds of
families have fed from the mum
dated sections and there is great
want ard distress. In fact ap-
peais have already been made to
the State and general governments
for succor and aid for the refugees
from the overfowed sections.
Douglas Island has succumbed
tn the waters and is now an inland
sea. The food has encroached
upon hundreds of homes n the
low lying districts of Shreveport,
driving out the inmates, most of
whom are negroes.
A levee broke above East Point
flooding that section of the coun-
try and entailing widespread rum
upon the crops. 1t inundated
the roadbed of the l.. X. & N,
putting a gap of IL miles of that
line out of business. 1t also de-
stroyed the crops of the planters
of that locality, one of the richest
and most productive portions of
the valley. Private levees built
for the protection of individual
crops have succumbed to the
angry flood in all directions, and
throughout the valley the State
levees are threatened at several
points.
The little town of Boyce has
been inundated for number of
days and communication is kept
up by means of boats. At Pine
vile, opposite Alexandria, there
is a plethora of water reaching
from hill to hill. Thus from all
sections of the valley come reports
of back water covering the prom
ising fields of corn, cotton and
other farm products and entailing
broadcast ruin and suffering.
Last Monday morning Buck
Hall levee in Bossier parish, at
Riverside, was in critical condi-
ton; at Taylortown heroic fight
was still being male against the
encroaching flood; the Taylor
plantation of Free State, opposite

Oakland, Jan. 11.-Pietro Saroochi, an
iron worker, and his wife. Reina, fought
a duel to the death this morning in
their little four-room cottage in the
Montgomery tract. He was armed\with

twenty minutes the husband finally

to the fatal quarrel. SarOochi and his

after her last flight from him. Their
-year-old daughter was at the
home of a neighbOT. 1t is believed

Do You Enjoy your Meals?
One Of the Most Important Questions
to Consider in the Search for
Happiness and Health.

The burning question, 10 you, Is AIe
YOU getting out of life all the pleasure
and the health you are entitled to-" If
not, why not?"
No matter whether every organ and
member of your body is in SOUND
state of health and strength, II your stoIn-
ach is inSany way disordered, you are not
going to be yourself" You are going
to be a worried, out-Of-sorts, nervous or
sullen individual. whose actions VIII re-
fleet your condition inside, and people will
naturally avoid you.
The world wants to smile and be
cheerful and unless you are cheeriui ana
smile at least, occasionally, you will nave
few friends fewer opportunities, no sue
cess, and you will go down In de1eat-de-
feated by dyspepsia and a bad stomach
A good and thorough digestion has a
quick wonderful reaction upon the brain.
You must have noticed it many times. for
the brain and stomach are as intimately
connected as a needle and its thread-one
can hardly be used to advantage without
the other. If your stomach Is slow and
lazy in digesting your food, it will pro-
duce at once a slow, lazy and cloudy in
fluence upon your brain. Mark it! II your
stomach has absolutely quit work, and
fermentation is poisoning your vitals as
a result. surely your brain is going to be
sluggish and correspondingly depressed.
No one need tell you that.
But why continue to suffer all the mis-
cries and torments that disordered st0m-
ach brings you?
If your stomach cannot digest your food,
what will? Where's the relief? Where 5
the cure?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the relief
and the cure. Why? Because, as all
stomach troubles arise from indigestion
and because one ingredient of Stuart 5
Dyspepsia Tablets is able to thoroughly
and completely digest 5000 grains of any
kind of food. doesn't it stand to reason
that these little Dyspepsia Tablets are go
ing to digest all the food and whatever
food you put into your stomach? Science
nowadays can digest food without having
to use the stomach for it. And Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets are the result of this
scientific discovery. They digest and di-
gest thoroughly and well, anything and
everything you eat.
So, if your stomach refuses to work or
can't work. and you suffer from erUcta-
tons, bloat, brash, fermentation bilious
ness, sour stomach, heartburn, irritation,
Indigestion, or dyspepsia of whatever
form, just take one or two of Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets and see the difference.
II doesn't cost you much to prove it.
Then you can eat all you want, what you
want, whenever you want. if you use

Mauss declared that he knew moth

that she is unfit for the responsibility.
The evidence, he declared, was not
sufficient to show that she was not a
proper person to have the youngster,
and consequently he would award him
to her.
