pointed from the contest. It is of
avail, she says. She has tried to
place woman side by side with
man in the struggle of life, she
has labored with Trojan might to
bring about this happy , consum
mation, but all io vain. Three
times have women entered> the
strife, and three times have they
gone down in ignomineous defeat
There is no hope for them save to
marry and become house keepers.
It might be said, by way of paren
thesis, that Miss Phoebe, by this
declaration places herself in the
matrimonial arena.
But to be serious. The great
mistake of Miss Cousins has been
to attempt to throw woman into
the wild struggle of life. The
timid hare cannot live among the
hounds ; the delicate and beautiful
bird is lost when it tries to perch
beside the falcons ; the lambs are
devoured when they venture near
the mountains where vultures live,
and so woman, if Miss Cousins’
last view of life is the proper one,
treads upon dangerous grounds
when she leaves the home and
tries to reverse the conditions un
der which she has already shown
herself man’s -helpmeet, such as
the Almighty found that Adam
needed when he created Eve.—

response to the following
k message from President McKinley
tlie House and Senate acted very
^ promptly 1
[j, .4 information which has re
cently come tome from the go v-
mors of Arkansas, Mississippi
and Louisiana and from prominent
citizens of these states and Ten
nessee, warrants the conclusion
that widespread disaster, involv
ing the destruction of a large
amount of property and the loss
of human life, has resulted from
the floods which have submerged
that section of the country. They
are staled, authentically, to be the
most destructive floods that have
ever devastated the Mississippi
valley, the water being much
higher than the highest stage it
has reached before.
•• From Marion, Ark., north of
Memphis, to Greenville, Miss., a
distance of more than 250 miles
by river, it is reported that there
are now at least 50 towns and vil
lages under water, and the terri
tory extending from 100 miles
north of Memphis to 200 miles
south, with a width of 40 miles,
is submerged. Hundreds of acres
of uncultivated soil and much
growing crops are included in the
submerged territory. In -this sec
tion alone there are 50,000 people
whose property has been destroyed
and whose business is totally sus
pended.
‘‘Growing crops have been ruined,
thousands of cattle have been de
stroyed and the inhabitants are
threatened with starvation. A
great majority of the sufferers are
small farmers and they have thus
been left entirely destitute and
will be unprepared for work even
after the floods have subsided.
“ The entire Mississippi valley
in Arkansas is flooded and com
munication with many points cut
off. In Mississippi a like condition
exists. The levees-in Louisiana,
with a single exception, have held;
hut tlie water is rising and the
situation there is reported as be
ing extremely critical.
Under such circumstances the
citizens of these states look for co
operation and support from the
national government in relieving
the pressing cases of destitution
for food, clothing and shelter,
which are beyond the reach of lo
cal efforts. The authorities who
have communicated with the exe
cutive recognize that their first
and most energetic duty is to pro
vide as far as possible the means
of earing for their own citizens,
hut nearly all of them agree in
the opinion that after their re
sources have been exhausted a
*um aggregating at least $150,-
0(JO - and possibly $200,000 will
he required for immediate use.
“ Precedents are not wanting,
ht such emergencies as this, con
gress has taken prompt, generous
and intelligent action, involving
the expenditure of considerable
sums of money, with satisfactory
t'CSults.
“The citizen’s relief committee
°f Memphis, which has taken
prompt action, has already cared
for from 6000 to 7000 refugees
from tlie flooded* districts and they
are still arriving in that city in
large numbers.
“Supplies and provisions have
sent to the various points in
Arkansas and Mississippi by this
committee, but. the most that can
^ done by these efforts is to
partly relieve the most acute suf-
thg. No action has yet been
leri
taken for the great majority of the
mbitouts living in the interior,
“ Under these conditions and
vmg exerted themselves to the
fullest extent, the local authori
ses ave reluctantly confessed
then-inability to further cope with
the distressing situation unaided
y relief from the government.
J-t has, therefore, seeftned to me
that the people should be informed
of the suffering need of these
stricken people and I have com
municated these facts in the hon
est belief that the legislative
branch of the government will
promptly reinforce the work of
the local authorities of the states
named.
William McKinley.”
House and Senate act Promptly.
In the senate, Mr. Jones, of
Arkansas,, offered a joint resolu
tion appropriating $150,000 for
supplies to the Mississippi river
sufferers and it was taken up.
In the house, Mr. Catehings, of
Mississippi, offered a resolution
appropriating $200,000 for the re
lief of the Mississippi flood suffer
ers.
The senate passed the Jones
resolution and the house the
Catehings resolution. This would
have left an awkward situation,
but the senate yielded precedence
to the house and recalled its reso
lution and then promptly passed
the house resolution, which went
to the president. It appropriates
$200,000.
The president signed the reso
lution at once.
A. Pretty and Well-Merlted Compliment.
The State Institute conducted
at Colfax this week has been a
grand success and most agreeable
event in every way. The attend
ance has been liberal and the in
terest unflagging and increasing
every day. Miss Agnes Morris,
of the Natchitoches Normal, who
has conducted the Institute, could
scarcely be improved upon, as her
methods are the very best, and all
presented with such charming vi
vacity that the greatest amount
of interest and pleasure was felt
by all in attendance.
*******
In conducting the exercises,
which extended over a two or
three hours session each morning
and afternoon, besides lectures at
night, a wide range was adopted
by Miss Morris, embracing the
whole duty of teachers in the mat
ters of physical, intellectual and
moral training. All of these were
treated with a minuteness and par
ticularity of detail that left no
branch of the business untouched,
and were presented so clearly and
earnestly that the attention and
sympathy of the listener was
thoroughly enlisted.— -Colfax

Bottled Dp!
Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the doctor’s prescription for
blood diseases is always the same-
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up and poison and dry -it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair of
crutches. Then comes falling of
the hair and decay of the bones,—a con
dition truly horrible.
Contagious Blood
Poison—the curse
of mankind—is the
most horrible of all
diseases, and has al
ways baffled the
doctors. Their pot-
a s h and mercury
! bottle up the poison,
but it always breaks
forth again attack
ing some delicate
organ, frequently
the mouth and
throat, filling them
with eating sores.
S.S.S., is the only
known cure for this
disease. It is guar
anteed purely vege
table, and one thousand dollars reward is
offered for proof to the contrary. It
never fails to cure Contagious Blood
Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism,
Cancer, or any other disease of the
blood. If you have a blood disease,
take a remedy which will not injure you.
Beware of mercury; don’t do violence
to your system. Don’t get bottled up!
