Spring Medicine
A Good Blood Purifier a Neces
sity Now
Hood's Sarsaparilla Unequalled for
Making Rich, Red Blood. $
The necessity for taking a good Spimg
Medicine to purify the blood and build up
the system is based upon natural and un
avoidable causes. In cold weather there
has been less perspiration and impurities
have not passed out of the system as they
should. Food has consisted largely of
rich, fatty substances, and there has been
less opportunity for outdoor exercise.
The result is, the blood is loaded with im
purities and these must be promptly ex
pelled or health will be endangered.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best Spring
Medicine because it is the best blood
purifier and tonic. It thoroughly purifies
the blood and gives vigor and vitality.

TOWN OYEEWHELMEP
SHAWNEETOWN, ILL., IS
DESTROYED BY WATER.
Cwed by the Breaking of a evee ea
the Onto Klver Came Like a Tidal
Wave Veweftae CltUeas Had Aay
Oapertaalty to Escape.
Evaxsviixe, Ind., April 4. At 6
o'clock last evening1 the levee at Shaw
nee town, HL, broke a mile above the
town, and from all the information
that can be secured here it is learned
that a great part of the place has
been destroyed and that probably a
large number of citizen have been
drowned.
Shawnee town is seventy -five miles
below Evansville, on the Ohio river.
It is situated in a valley of extremely
low land, with hills skirting it in the
rear, and with a twenty-five foot
levee front running from hill to MIL
The town is very much in the position
of a fortified city, and when the levee
gave way a mile above town, under
the pressure of the very high river,
the water shot through a twenty -foot
opening and struck the place like a
hurricane, sweeping everything be
fore it
Houses were turned and tossed
about like boxes. The people were
not warned of the break, and for that
reason many were caught. Those at
home sought ref age in second stories
and on housetops. Those in the
streets were carried before the ava
lanche of water, and probably a ma
jority were drowned.
Citizens came from the place by
skiffs to a telephone several miles
away and asked for aid from Evans
ville. They said that more than 200
people were drowned, and they had
reason to believe it would reach 500
or even 1 ,000.
The water stands from twenty to
thirty feet all over the town.

Madrid, April. The United States
minister has made the following state
ment: "I shall not desist from my
labors for a just and honorable peace
until the guns actually open fire, and
my faith i. still strong that war, with
all its horrors, can be avoided. Enough
blood has been shed in Cuba already,
and I cannot believe the closing
hours of the nineteenth century will
be reddened by a conflict between
Spain and the United States. My
country asks for peace based upon
conditions that shall make peace per
manent and beneficent and I have
faith that Spain will yet do what is
necessary to assvre justice in Cuba.
And with justice, peace is certaid."

DUEL TO THE DEATH.

Waco, Texas, April 4. In the midst
of busy preparations for city election
meetings, while bands were playinjr
and scattering handbills from their
decorated vans, calling the people to
gether, W. C Brann, editor of the
Iconoclast, and Captain M. T. Davis
met and fonght a revolver duel to the
death.
The combatants met just at 6 o'clock
last evening, on South Fourth street,
in front of the Cotton Belt ticket of
fice, and after exchanging a few
words, both began emptying their
revolvers into each other's body.
When the battle was over, Brann
wss found to be perforated in the left
lung; and left leg and the right foot,
and Davis was shot through the right
lung and through both his arms. The
surgeons say both men are likely to
die.

hand, the bones being shatered. A
wild bullet hit Motorman Kennedy on
the knee. Kennedy was passing on
his car. Another wild bullet hit Eu
gene Kepler in the foot The wild
bullet wounds are not serious. Kep
ler and his partner, Prince, are tour
ing the-world on a wager, and had
just reached Waco.
The difficulty between the two men
grew out of the Brann-Baylor feud of
last year. Captain Davis' daughters
are pupils of Baylor university, and
the references made in the Iconaclast
to Baylor, which were generally con
strued to mean reflections on the
moral character of the pupils and
faculty, brought forth from Captain
Davis a denunciation of Brann, de
livered in language most forcible and
direct
It was often predicted that when
the apostle, Brann, and Captain Davis
met, there would be bloodshed, Cap
tain Davis being a fearless man, and
ready on all occasions to express him
self. The publications of Brann
against Baylor university wounded
him deeply, and he took every occa
sion to make his feelings known.
FAR FROM PORTO RICO.
Spanish Torpedo Flotilla Has Hardly
Started Across the Atlantic.
MajjRID, April . The statement
cabled last night that the torpedo flo
tilla of Spain has arrived at Porto
Rico was taken from a newspaper
here.
Investigation shows the announce
ment to be erroneous. The Spanish
flotilla has arrived at the Cape Verd
islands, off the coast of Africa, and it
is said will proceed after coaling.
As it has taken the Spanish torpedo
flotilla nine days to make the Cape
Verd islands from the Canary islands,
which they left Mareh 24, it should,
going at about the same rate of speed,
take the flotilla about twenty-six dayjj
from now to reach Porto Rico from
the Cape Verd islands. This is under
the supposition that the flotilla will
coal and start again to-day, which in
not probable.
WANT LI HUNG'S HEAD.
Chinese Official Offers His Own IT so
Accusation Is Cutrne.
Shanghai, April 4. It is announced
that a person of the highest rank haa
memorialized the emperor in the most
vigorous language, accusing the whole
Tsung-Li-Yameu (Chinese Foreign
Office) of being in the pay of Russia.
He asserts that Russia expended 10,
000,000 taels in bribery during the re
cent negotiations regarding the ces
sion of Port Arthur and Ta-Lien-Wan,
eta, and claims that Li Hung Chang's
share was 1,500,000 taels Thereupon
the personage referred to demands a
full investigation, and asks that Li
Hung Chang be beheaded if the accu
sations be proven, the memorializer
offering to bo executed himself if his
charges are not sustained.

Paris, April 4 The court of ap

based upon the fact that the president

OVERWORKED WOMEN.
Letters to lars. Pinkham From Women Who Have Been Helped Iran
Sickness or Health.
The ordinary every-day life of mostof our women is a ceaseless treadmill of work.
How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the
female organs makes every movement
keeps the nervous system unstrung!
The following letter from Mrs. Walter
Sparkill, N. Y., tells the story of many
and shows them how to get relief:
"DeakMks. Pixkham: I cannot thank
enough for all Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has done for me. When I wrote to
you I had suffered for years with falling, in
flammation and ulceration ox tne womo;
my back ached, and I was so much
distressed I could scarcely walk. I
was a burden to myself and did not
care whether I lived or died.
"I have taken five bottles of your
medicine and it has done wonders for
me is all my friends can testify. I can
now do my own work, and do not know
how to express my gratitude to you for
the good your medicine and advice
have done me. I owe my life to Mrs.
Pinkham."
Mrs. Pinkham's counselisoffered free
to all women who need advice about
their health. Her address is Lynn,
Mass. Mrs. P. II. IIutciicboft, Kel
lerton, Iowa, tells here in her own
words how Mrs. Pinkham helped her:
"Dear Mrs. Pixkiiam: I was in a
very bad condition before I wrote to
you and began the use of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I
didnotknowwhattodo. I suffered
riiTT'i'hl-tr everv month, when on mv
feet would have such a bearing-down feeling, was very weak, womb was
swollen, back ached, appetite was very poor, also had trouble with my head.
I have taken several bottles of your Compound and cannot say enough in its
favor. It helped more than all the doctors."
