The progress of the canoes into
tAe water-bound district vas greeted
by appeals for bread and water. In
nearly every house left standing, peo-
pie We're asked whether there had
been any deaths and with only Il few
exceptions all replied hat there had
not. Although heartered by news
from the flood zones interior, Gov.
CoN's secretary, Mr.. Burba. scarcely
was able to credit the assertions.
From his own observations of the
southern district, he was unable to
believe that the death list would be
under l 800.
There are 10000 unaceounted for
on this side of the river" he said.
and if all but 200 of these are found

The suburb OF R%iverdale to Helena

conditions are much the same as i in

street has not been reached but il is
not believed conditions there will
prove as bad as feared. Nothing is
known of the foreign settlement in
North Dayton, close to the Miami

after he had been given information
as to the situation on the south
side.
Without Food Three Days.
The worst conditions found near
the center OF the flood, was in the
w~orkhouse, where 60 persons had
not had a drop of water or food
since Tuesday. The men revolted Tues
day night and demanded their liberty
and a chance to fight for their lives.
Since then the workhouse has been
a mad house. according to Superin-
tendent Johnson. The prisoners re
peatedly fought with Johnson and
threatened to kill both him and his
family. Johnson asked that a detail.o OF
the national guard be assigned to
help him handle the men. He declar-
ed that the men would be shot if they
escaped from their cells. No word has
been heard from Mayor Phillip. The
chief of police has been unable to
get near the Phillips home and did
not know if the mayor was alive or
dead.

SAYS THE HUMAN BODY BODY Is
THE TRUEST ART

Laughter, screams and almost
shrieks of derision came from leading
Chicago modistes today when they
read the kind words. of Mario Korbel,
young Bohemian sculptor, who, COM
menting upon ''the stupidity of those
who object to women showing their
legs" observed:
eff had my way, instead of sewing
up the Sits, they would slit them
clear to the hip. The human body is
the truest art"
One modiste, whose fashionable
shop fronts Michigan avenue, where
the breezes from Lake Michigan play
havoc with the ordinary variety of
slit skirt, pointed out what would
happen if Chicago women followed
the sculptor's advice.
Imagine a pretty young girl
emerging from the Art Institute with
skirt slit to the hip, no petticoat and
a strong nor'easter blowing" she
said. why her skirt would blow up
-even to her waist and she'd look like
a cross between a sandwich man and
a monoplane.'

MARRIED FOR FOUR DAYS-THE
GROOM is MISSING
After four days of married life,
Ralph Parker, an Indianapolis archi-
tect, disappeared Wednesday and his
young wife believes he is the victim
of foul play.
Mrs. Parker came into the Court
of Domestic Relations this morning
and sought the aid of Judge Uhlir and
John Gardner, clerk of the court. She
didn't wish a warrant for his arrest.
The suggestion that he may have de-
serted her brought look of GOODNESS
to its author.
The girl said she and Parker were
married in Louisville, KY, Sunday.
Monday they came to Chicago and
stopped at the Blackstone Hotel.
Wednesday he went out and short
time later he called her on the tele-
phone and told her he had received
a check for $500 and would be back
later.
He hasn't arrived yet. Mrs. Parker,
refusing warrant, left the court
room.
ScHfFF SAYS SERVED ME RIGHT
WHEN SHOES WERE STOLEN
New York, Sept. 27.-Jacob H.
Schiff, millionaire banker, who had
his shoes stolen from outside his ho-
tel room in Albany where he testified
in the Sulzer trial, said: Serves me
right. Think of leaving even a pair
of shoes loose near the statesmen
who have been operating in Albany
for years. But l did not think bust
ness was so bad the crowd would
steal shoes" Ca
Later the shoes were found on the
hotel roof and expressed here to the
banker, nicely cleaned and decorated
with a new pair of laces.

SAYS MEAT WILL STAY IN REACH
- OF THE WORKINGMAN

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 27.-In an
swer to the declaration of American
meat packers at the Chicago conven-
ton that poor people will have to live
on nothing but vegetables within ten
years, Thomas Carstens, president of
a local packing company, stated that
the people on the coast will always be
able to eat porterhouse steak so long
as they have teeth.
Decreased meat production will
not cause much trouble in our time"
he declared, so the average man
doesn't need to do any worrying. Of
course, prices will go up a bit, but
not out of reach of the workingman.

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se- rious Consequences of Neg. Iect.

"Fix me up something to knock the faced, sickly looking man, entering prominent physicians office the othe, day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake we'll and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Such cases are frequent, replied the doctor in answer to question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and it is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the malaTial germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good condi. ton by taking d reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at ire q1ent intervals during the sickly season.
 A dose of Prickly Ash B;tters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 PrickIy Ash Bitters is known every. where as a system tonic and bowel regu- lator. It not only removes all traces of malarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
 "Prickly Ash Bitters is the best all-around medicine for the family ever used. During the past ten years have always kept 1t in my house Whenever any of my family show signs ot mala- ria, kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation lew doses IS all that is needed to make hem well and hearty agaiu.-W.
