Cairo and New Madrid, where the
Mississippi is falling slowly, interest
in the flood centers in the probable
fate of the rich Yazoo and delta farm
ing districts of Mississippi and Louisl-
ana. There is danger that the levees
of the lower river will break, as did
those above.
South of Memphis there were minor
breaks in the EN- bankmentS protecting
the Arkansas shores. At Greenville,
Miss. 1000 men were at work on ten
miles of levee. Eighty thousand dol
lars had been expended for bags OF
sand.
BY a break in the Ievee at Helena,
Ark, water 20 feet deep swept into
Modoc, Ark, and that town is COM
pletely depopulated, and most of the
residences are a complete wreck.
The great mass of water formed a
lake, hemmed in on three sides by the
hills, and fed from the fourth by the
river.
The steamer Kate Adams was near
Modoc when the levee broke and res
cued those imperiled. A hundred or
more panic-stricken negroes were ia
ken from a government barge. Later
motor launches rescued a number of
farm hands from the roofs of cabins,
from trees and peaks of knobs which
were above the water.
One thousand or more persons are
marooned on mounds, housetops and
in a church at Wyanoke, Ark, accord
ing to the statement of Mayor Crump
of Memphis, who returned to Mem

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
Itched So He Could Not Sleep

"On July q, 1909, we left Boston for
trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
few days nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change Of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura

CHARGE MaDERO With
DEVASTATING MEXICO
Orozco's Special ENJOYS DecIare Ma
tons Head Violated Every Oath
Made to Men Who Aided Him.

New York - In a long statement
bitterly assailing President Madero's
administration of affairs in Mex
leo and declaring that his tactics
are slowly but surely wrecking the ma
ton, the three special ENJOYS sent
here by General Orozco, the leader of
the Mexican revolutionists, present to
the American public their side of the
present trouble.
Madero is charged with violating
every oath he made to the men who
helped him to overthrow the reign of
Diaz. He is charged with misuse of
government funds, with making it i'm
possible to walk the highways of, Mex
leo in safety, and with not protecting
the interests of foreign business and
the people of his own country.
The present revolution is not a
new one," the statement says. 1T is
merely continuance of the revolution

MENACE TO COAL MINE PEACE.
Insist That None but Members of Or
der Perform Repair Work.


Wilkesbarre, Pa. Because OF
the determination of the leaders OF
the United Mine Workers to compel
the coal companies to allow only union
men to make repairs at the collieries
the peace OF the anthracite district Is
menaced.
This request has forced the opera
tors to threaten a disruption OF peace
because they allege the. demand is in
open violation OF the rulings OF the
coal strike commission, which de-
clareS against such discrimination.
The coal companies claim that union
leaders are breaking the peace rules
which they publicly asked and which
the companies were willing to accept
during the length OF the suspension.
From the statements of different OPP
orators it is plain that parting OF the
ways is at hand and that an open
break may occur at any moment The
operators are bitterly opposing the
act of the mine leaders in placing
pickets without their coilieries for the
purpose of getting men into the or
ganiZation.
