An Ugly Mess

THE rounding up OF a lot OF idle
rich men, who have been indulging
their passions and helping swell the
white slave traffic in Los Angeles, Is
making 4 naSticr mess than first hg-
urcd. A number of rich young men
and some not so young, have been
drawn into the meshes Of the law.
The fact that there are millions in
vo1ved means a fight that will be out
Of the ordinary. The action taken by
the Federal authorities in such casecs
is as it should be, Even the rich mar
fears the Federal court. while he cares
far less for state laws. 1t is hoped
that Los Angeles will make the right
kind OF a clean up, and If the news
paper reports can be believed there
should be a lot Of such men sent to
prison for publication.

LEVEE BREAKS, FLOODS
POUR INTO COLUMBUS;
MANY BUILDINGS FALL

COLUMBUS, O.. March 25.-With a
great roar the levee at the foot of
Broad street let go shortly before II
o'clock today. sending a deluge of
water that sweled the Scioto river,
covering a great area Several small
buildings collapsed.
The police at l0:40 o'clock ordered
all persons in the lowlands to leave
their homes quickly and flee for high
land. eAll fire and police apparatus
assisted in the work. The residents
were told not to stop for clothes or
valuables.
No less of life has yet been re-
ported.
AT 1870 o'clock Governor Cox, on
request of city officials, ordered out
the local Ohio National Guard to do
patrol work in the flooded districts of
this city. Safety Director Barger,
who made the request, said that flood
conditions were the worst in the his
tory of the city.
The governor received a telegram
which was sent from a railroad tower
near Delaware asking for aid for
Delaware flood sufferers The dis
patch said that State troops will
probably be necessary, but did not
give the number of casualties.

l,50O FAMILIES ESCAPE
FROM INDIANAPOLIS AS
NEARBY RIVERS RISE

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, March %
Fifteen hundred families in Indian
apolis had been forced to leave their
homes at noon today by the high wa
ters, caused by incessant rains.
White River, Eagle Creek and Pleas
ant Run are rising at the rate of
six inches an hour. Only one of the
thirteen interurban lines is running
and traffic on the steam roads is at
a standstill.
A levee along White River, in Broad
Ripple, suburb of indianapolis,
went out today, driving 300 families
from their homes and washing out a
mile of railroad tracks. Only the
roofs of some of the houses in the
suburb are visible.
Flood conditions throughout the
State are the worst in thirty years,
and it is estimated that more than
5000 families have been forced to
leave their homes. So far four deaths
by drowning have been reported, but
several are said to be missing and
may have been swept away with their
homes.
The water company has warned its
patrons to draw emergency supplies
of water, as the company expected to
be put out of business before night
by the flood. The plant of the In
dianapolis Gas Company is under wa
ter and the pressure went out of the
mains before noon.

THIEF AFISHING GOES AND

contained a lady's gold watch and
chain, a gold bar pin, fifty-trip
ticket to New York on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and $40 in cash. on the
bed in a room on the first floor, which
has a window opening on an alley.
II is supposed that the thief being
unable to raise the window secured
the pole and returned, as the maid is
alleged to have seen a man enter the
alley carrying pole.
Lieutenant Maier, of the detective
bureau was assigned to the case and
recovered the pole.
Captain Carroll, of the detective
bureau, and his aids, have endeavored
to warn the people TO take precau-
tons against various kinds of rob-
berries, but this latest one is a new
one to him. Every reasonable pre-
caution had been taken by Mrs,
Jones to thwart thieves, even to pro-
viding a latch on the window which
prevented raising 1t more than about
six inches.

he passed prohibiting the sale of fish

were almost all damaged. Twisted,

CO. BRIDGE BILL
BEATEN IN HOUSE
Scheme to Connect Atlantic
and Cape May Counties.
State to Pap One-thrid.
Irrom q STAN correspondent.l

TRENTON, N. j., March 25.-Fol-
lowing charges by Republicans that
the bill was backed by the slickest
and shrewdest lot of hnd-grabbers
in the State" the House today by a
vote of Z to AZ killed the Senate bill
authorizing the State to pay one
third of the cost of bridge to con-
meet Atlantic and Cape May counties
from Somers Point to Beasleys Point.
Mr.. Peacock, of Burlington, in stat
ing that there had been more lobby
ing on the bill than on any other, de-
clared those working for its passage
were men like Henry Clay, former
director of public safety of Philadel-
pha. who had been charged with
malfeasance in office. Such men, he
asserted. wanted the State to spend
money for the bridge just to improve
their own property.
Mr.. Salus. of Atlantic, said that less
than a mile from the proposed bridge
another is being built by private sub
scription at Ocean City. which, he de-
clared, would answer all purposes.
Mr. Hennessy pointed out that the
Ocean City bridge was to charge tolls,
and that to defeat this bill would be
to give approval to the toll colulecting
scheme.
The cost of the proposed Beasley
point bridge was variously estimated
at between 100000 and 100000. Those
who voted for the bill were j. c. Ag-
new, Bredenbek, Egan, Hennessy, j.
A. Matthews, Smick and Taylor.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain-the ar
ticle did not fulfil the promises of the
manufacturer. This applies more par
ticularly to a medicine. medicinal
preparation that has real curative
value almost sells itself. as like an
endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
cured to those who are in need of 1t.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says: Take,
for example, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation l have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows immediate results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy that I know of has
so large a sale"
The success of DR.. Kilmers Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulfils
every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder diseases, corrects
urinary troubles and neutralizes the
uric acid which causes rheumatism.
A free trial bottle will be sent by
mail, absolutely free. Address DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y. and
mention this paper. Regular size bot
ties sold at all druggists-50c and 81.

When this message was received
the Miami river was rising about
one foot an hour The water was
seven feet deep In Main street, Day

At Youngstown, o., the- Mahoning
