FLOOD BEAKS
CAIRO LEVM
Steamer Goes to Rescue Of 400
Marooned Workmen.
Angry Flood Of Mississippi Attacks
Memphis-Farmsrs Badly Scared
and Lands Inundated.

Cairo, Ill. - The Mobile & Ohio
levee, which protected the Cairo
drainage district from the waters Of
the Mississippi river on the north
west. broke early Thursday morning,
Narrowing 400 men who were working
on the Big Four levee, which holds
back the waters of the Ohio on the
east.
Paducah, Ky.-Telephone messages
from Cairo say the Mobile & Ohio
levee there has gone out and that
many houses and factories are mum
dated. The Illinois Central levee was
holding, and it protects the main part
Of the town. 1t is reported many per-
sons were rendered homeless.
The break is said to be so yards
long. No lives were lost SO far as
known.
Nearly every able-bodied man in
Cairo. with 1,500 imported laborers,
are struggling along the seven miles
of levee, fighting to prevent the flood
from engulfng the city.
Memphis, Tenn.-Every hour sees
further water encroachments on this
city. Twenty-Five blocks in the north
ern section are submerged to depth
of six or seven feet, and Bayou Gay
oso is out. of its banks, within three
quarters of mile of the principal
business section.
The city's gas supply has given out,
and in the flooded districts the sewer
system is out of commission. Lack of
labor is hampering the work of COM
batting the river.
Farmers appear afraid to work on
the levees when the crest nears the
top, while the labor of the city cannot
be concentrated there.
Two more levee breaks were report
ed near Chester, Illinois, where 80, 200
acres of farming land was inundated.
Hickman, KY, is the worst sufferer.
The 1000 inhabitants of the town
were augmented by the arrival Of
1000 refugees from Dorena, Mo.
At Columbus, KY, which was the
first town inundated, the situation is
grave. Residents are leaving rapidly
and there is much suffering in outly-
ing districts. The damage in that vi
cinity is estimated at 500, 900.

A Cause of Wonder

Two things stand out boldly from the confused political battle ground. The first is that MT. Taft did not know Theodore Roosevelt when he served with him in the cabinet he only thought he did. The second thing is that he has come to know him through and through.
 This paragraph from Mir. Tafts Maryland speech hits off the Colonel to T:
 He means to introduce a benevolent despotism in which he means to select the trusts which he thinks ought to continue and to smash the ones he thinks ought not to continue; and as he has said that the antitrust law ought to be repealed and supervisory laws passed, he leaves no guide by which to determine those trusts which are violating the law and those which are not. It is one of those pleasant arrangements for a man who likes to exercise arbitrary power and is most useful in giving an instrumentality for the maintainance of power that is hardly to be excelled.
 No one knows better than Mf. Taft the utter incoherence of the Roosevelt plan, except so far as it deliberately includes all of the objects of a one AIdu poWeT, ana no one KNOWS better than he what it would all lead to if once approved It should be under stoo dthat Colonel Roosevelt is ob- sessed of the idea that he has been raised to save the country. T trembie to think" adds the President. what would become of the country if Theo- dore Roosevelt was to die with so much depending on his life"
 It is with such a Knowledge of the situation that one wonders more than ever how the Roosevelt movement can secure the support of thoughtful cit izens even though those same thought ful citizens have become convinced possibly that another than Taft should preside over the destinies of the na . tion. The one man who ought not to be made President is Colonel Roose- welt. The country would not endure under him. There are too many stomachs to be filled, too many bodies to be clothed and too many people to be housed to let the nation fall, but from no conceivable point whatever does tho country need the test of it's institutions it would surely receive from another term of this arrogant and arbitrary master of the political game.-New Haven Journak-Courier Indt

Tn Coach Cooks policy this year 1t is expected there will be considerable pair oar and four oar rowing.
 This year for the greater part of the time the stroke has been down to 22, while the racing stroke must be up to S4, or at least to 32, for the four mile race, and higher in the shorter races, for which the men are trained as well as for the varsity A week ago the stroke was still 22 and the varsity race was less than five weeks off. It is because of the wish of the coaches to keep the stroke down that there were no preliminary races for the varsity this year.
 The stroke was kept low in order that the men might become used to rowing together, and it was planned after the varsity eight had been prae- tical1y selected to raise the stroke That is what will be done in the few weeks remaining before the race, and a rapid increase in the speed may be looked for from this time on. During the past few days the stroke has at times gone up as high as 2S, and the coaches have told the men that the stroke will gradually be raised until it Is a racing stroke.
 Some familiar faces are missing at the camp this year, Fred Plaisted. who was assistant rigger last season, being one of them. His place is filled by Charles Evans. John Contois Is an- other who is missed. He died shortly after the close of last season, and his place as rlgger has been taken by Frank Holmes.
 Numerous changes, all tending to heautify the place, have been made this spring. Low spots in the lawn around the varsity quarters have been filled in and the lawn below the re- taining wall has been graded, couple of trees and some shruhbery removed and a new float built.

A stnrx for fine Anss.

We wish to have the final ,story of MT. and Mrs. Isidor Straus put>On rec ord in these columns. Colonel Oracle heard them discussing the matter be- tween themselves and agreeing that If they must die they would die togeth- CT. So when the officers urged Mrs. Straus to enter the lifeboat she refus- ed to leave her husband, and said: We have lived together all these years and I will not lsave you now No persuasion could move her. Then, says a survivor, Alr. Stengel, the off, cer, tried to make an exception of hr. Straus We told him says Mir. Sten- gel, that no one objected to an old gentleman like him going in the boat But he said he would not leave till the other men did" Their story will go down the ages. It has been the sub feet already of hundreds of poems New York Independent.

Sage and Sulphur Remedy for Dan
 druff, Faded and Gray Hair.

The old idea of using Sage for dark ening the hair is agaln coming in vogue. Our grandmothers had dark, glossy hair al 75, while our mothers are gray before they are 50. Our grand mothers kept their hair soft and glossy with Sage Tea" which also restored the natural color.
 One objection to using such a prepa- ration was the trouble of making it. This objection has been overcome by the Wyeth Chemical company of New York, who has placed on the market a superior preparation of Sage combin- ed with Sulphur and other valuable remedies for dandruff, itching scalp and thin. weak, falling hair.
 The beauty of the hair depends more on its rich, even shading than anything else, Don't have dry, harsh faded hair. when simple, harmless remedy will bring back the eolor In few days; and don't be tormented with dandruff. itching scalp and loose, falling hairs Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rans- edy will quickly correct these troubles, and give color, strength and beauty to your hair.
