land of darkness in the blessed fields,
to its final judgment and admission
into tho presence of its Father in
“eternal dwelling place of the

sage from one of these mummy cases

FLOOD IN TEXAS.
THE LEONA RIVER BECOMES A
RUSHING TORRENT*.
Whole Families Drowned and Town*
Completely Annihilated.
A terriblo catastrophe befell tho
day thriving town of Uvalde, Texas, Thurs
night and there is mourning in
many households. The calamity was
Leona entirely unexpected. Tho treacherous
river, swollen to a raging tor
rent by recent rains, rushed without a
moment’s naming .town upon tbo
town, submerging and wrecking many
houses and drowning a number of peo
pie. In this arid section suchdestruc
tiveness by the elements has never be
fore been chronicled.
In the excitement it is not definitely
known how many have been drowned,
It was about 2 o’clock in the morn¬
ing when the flood came. Just aa the
storm broke over the city a terriblo
torrent of water rushed down the
Leona river, overflowing the banks of
that stream and flooding the lowlands
on either sido to a depth of several
feet. The east side of the city is built
on lowland and was directly in tho
path of the water. All the houses iu
this part of the town wero submerged.
There wero a number of miraculous es¬
capes and the rescuers and the rescued
performed many heroic acts.
An earthquake shock of some mo
meuts’ duration was distinctly felt
during tho night. At ono place near
the city about a quarter of a mile of
heavy cracks appeared on each side of
the Leona river, having apparently no
bottom. .
The loss to tho Southern Pacific
Railroad Company is enormous, forty
miles of track nnd many bridges hav¬
ing been washed away. A rough esti¬
mate of the loss to property in general
and Uie railroad company will, as far
as known, reach a million and a half
dollars.
A Later Account.
Another and later account says that
the deluge did not come from the
clouds, as was at first supposed, but
that it came out of the ground and its
bursting forth was caused by an earth¬
quake which rent tho earth at several
places along the Leona river, near
Uvalde. The cracks in the earth with
the water pouring therefrom are still
visible. The Leona river, so-called, is
a dry stream ten months of the year,
but it is known that a subterranean
basin and stream of water exists under¬
neath the dry bed, as flowing artesian
wells are obtained by boring a few
hundred feet. It is supposed that
this artesian basin of water is now
escaping through tho cracks caused by
tho earthquake. The shock of tho
earthquake was distinctly felt at Uvaf
do and at points for many miles
around.
THE FLOODED DISTRICT.
A special from San Antonio says:
The sceno of destruction and desola¬
tion in the flooded district for a dis¬
tance of 100 miles west from hero and
extending south from the Southern
Tacific railway to the Rio Grande 200
miles away, is simply terrible. Thous¬
ands of acres of pasture and farm land
is under water.
It is estimated that the damage to
crops in tho valley of the Leona river
will reach $500,000, while in the val¬
leys of the Saco and Sabine rivers tho
losses will be fully as much or more.
Many thousands of cattle, horses and
sheep were swept away. Up to Friday
night all telegrams received by South¬
ern Pacific railway officials and for tho
press came by tho rouudabout way of
El Paso, Tueblo and Kansas City, all
direct communication with Uvalde and
other flooded towns being cut off.
Latest reports received are more
alarming than the earlier ones. It is
still a matter of uncertainty as to tho
number of lives lost, but additions to
the list of drowned are constantly
coming.
About one-half the houses of Uvalde,
a town of 2,300 people, were carried
away, and there is much Buffering
there,but no more fatalities are report¬
ed from that place. Nothing has yet
been heard from the settlement of
seventy-five families several miles be¬
low Uvalde, but there are still grave
fears that many if not all of them were
swept down by the torrent.
CHINESE BOATHOUSES BURN,
Ami Over a Thousand of the Celes¬
tials Lose Their Lives.
Special dispatches from Shanghai
state that the British gunboat Red
Pole has sailed from Chee-foo for Port
Arthur. Junks arriving at Chee-foo
from Xewelmnd report a large number
of bodies of Japanese floating in the
water at the mouth of tho Tatung
river.
Fire started among some flower
boats that were moored stern to stern
in the Canton river, and nearly all oi
the craft were destroyed. The boats
were moored in fleets and those em¬
ployed on them lived on board. Hund¬
reds jumped overboard and were
drowned, while still greater numbers
were burned to death. At least one
thousand persons perished.
JAPANESE ATTACK PORT ARTHUR.
A dispatch to the London Timet
from Shanghai says: “A Tien-Tsin
dispatch lrom Chinese couriers say*
that thirteen Japanese ships, withovei
four thousand troops, are attacking
Port Arthur. The Chinese garrison,
numbering 5,000 men and the Chines*
fleet, have been ordered to attack tht

NATIONAL LABOR DAY
Fittingly Observed Throughout the
Country—Imposing Parades.
The first celebration of Labor Day
as a national holiday was generally
observed at the national capital. Also,
for the first time iu their history, all
the local labor organizations united
for a common purpose without a
squabble or jealousies, and did honor
to the occasion. This was only befit¬
ting, inasmuch as the Washington or¬
ganizations were instrumental in es¬
tablishing the holiday as a national
institution.
Plasterers’ Assembly, No. 2,672, of
the Knights of Labor, in Washington
city, claim the credit of initiating the
movement to pass a bill through con¬
gress declaring the first Monday in
September a national holiday, under
the name of “Labor Day.” Many
states had previously authorized a
similar celebration, but this was the
first attempt at national recognition.
The bill was championed by Senator
Kyle, of South Dakota, and was pass¬
ed without difficulty, it becoming the
law by the president’s signature June
28th last.
AT CINCINNATI.
Labor day was celebrated nt Cincin¬
nati by a street parade and picnic, in
which the unions, allied with the
building trades council, took part.
Although the assemblies affiliating
with the Central Labor Union did not
participate as organizations, many of
their members joined the procession
and devoted the day to merry making.
AT NEW VORK.
Celebration of Labor Day in New
York was the largest and finest ever
held in the city. Over thirty thous¬
and men were in line, and the parade
was a triumphal march from beginning
to end.
At Nashville, Tenn., the day was
celebrated by a practical suspension of
work and business. There was a pro¬
cession three miles long, in which all
the industries of the city were repre¬
sented. There was a large assembly,
dinner and speeches at Westside park.
Governor Waite Released.
At Denver, Col., Friday afternoon,
Commissioner Hinedale discharged
Governor Waite and held the other
defendants, Dwver, Mullins and Arm

the charge of conspiracy. Governor
Waite, in his own defense, vigorously
denied any connection with the con
spiraey and said he would abide by the
decision of the commissioner.

A MOTHER’S STORY.
HAPPINESS COMES AFTEtl YEARS
OF SUFFERING.
Thn Terrible Experience ot a Well Known
Official'* Wife—A Stnry Thnt Ap¬
peal* to Every Mother In tho
i.mid.
From the Chattanooga , Tenn., Press.
No county official in East Tennessoo la
bettor known nnd more highly estcotnod than
Mr. J. C. Wilson, Circuit Court Clerk ot
Rhea County, nt Dayton, tho home of Mr.
Wilson. He enjoys the confidence nnd re¬
spect of all classes, nnd in tho business com¬
munity his word Is as good as his boud. Just
now Mr. Wilson is receiving heartiest con
grntulatlons from his numerous friends be¬
cause of the restoration to robust health of
his estimable wifo, who has for years been a
helpless invalid. Mrs. Wilson’s high stand¬
ing in society, and her many lovable traits
of character have won hor a host of friends,
and her wonderful recovery has attracted
widespread attention.
As tho Press was the medium ot bringing
to tho invalid lady’s attention the remedy
that has effected her remarkable cure, a re¬
porter was sent to Dayton to interview Mrs.
Wilson, in order that tho general public
might have tho benoflt of the sufferer's ex¬
perience and be made aware of the treatment
that wrought such a marvelous change in
her condition. The reporter was welcomed
nt the Wilson homeland tho enthusiastic
lady with becoming reluctance gave the his¬
tory of her affliction and the manner in
which she was relieved : •
“Yes,” said Mrs. Wiboa, “I was for 8
years an invalid with one of the most dis¬
tressing afflictions woman can suffer. For 8
years I moped around, dragging myself with
difficulty and piin out of bed. My little
ones went untrained and were greatly neg¬
lected, while I looked listlessly nnd help¬
lessly at the cheerless prospect before me
ntd them. I suffered the most infensopains
in the small of my back, and these seemed
even greater in the region of tho stomach,
extending down, to tho groins. I suffered
agony sleeping or awake. Despair is no
word for the feeling caused by that dreadful
sensation of weakness and helplessness I
constant ly experienced.
“I was treated for my trouble by several
local physicians, but they were able to give
mo only temporary relief had by the use of se ta
tives and narcotics. I almost given up
all hope of ever securing permanent relief
when I saw an account in the Press of a cure
which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had effected.
I decided to try them, as I knew tho lady
who had been euro 1 and had great confi¬
dence in her statement. I began to take
the pills doigg in October, 1893, and in two months
I was light housework and attending
to the children without any bad effects or
weakness, such as I bad formerly experi¬
enced. Hitherto, I had been unable to re¬
tain any food, but now my appetite grew
stronger, and with it came back that old,
healthy nnd hearty tone of tho stomach. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills cured me, and I assure
you the cure has brought a great change in
our home. I can now rejoice in my hus¬
band's success, for I feel that I have some¬
thing to live for. Who has a better right
to feel this than a mother? One thing more.
I have recommended these pills to others,
and many of the women of Dayton have
taken them with good results, and It is my
greatest pleasure to recommend to every
suffering woman a remedy that has done so
much forme.”
An analysis proves that Dr, Williams’
Pink Pills lor Pale People contain in a con¬

An Aluihinum Yiolin.
Dr. Alfred .Springer, of Cincinnati,
has introduced an aluminum violin,
which produces an enormous volume
of tone, fully five times that of an or¬
dinary wooden instrument. There is
a variety of opinions as to the quality
of the tone. Some musicians declared
that the quality is not as good as a
wooden one for solo work, but that it
would prove good in orchestra work.
Others take the opposite side on the
question entirely.

ASIDE from the fact that the
jTlL cheap baking powders contaia
alum, which causes indigestion and
other serious ailments, their use is
extravagant.
It takes three pounds of the best
of them to go as far as one pound
of the Royal Baking Powder, be¬
cause they are deficient in leavening
gas.
There is both health and econ¬
omy in the use of the Royal Baking
Powder

Dust Indespcnsable.
Ordinarily rogarded dust is a nuis¬
ance, yet it plays a most important
part in our very existence. In fact,
dust gives color to not only the atmos¬
phere, but to everything we behold.
The sky is blue, the mountain green,
the ripening fields of corn yellow, the
evening sunset red, the clouds purple,
all through dust. Our soft, uniformly
diffused daylight is due Entirely to
dust. In truth, our days would be
darker than moonless nights but for
dust. The fineness of the particles of
atmospheric dust determines the color
wo see. Those dust particles inter
cept and diffuse tbo light, Somo
of these atoms are large
enough reflect the blue
ether waves, fewer of them capable of
reflecting green and yellow, and still
fewer large enough to influence tho
red ethereal waves, henco blue is tho
prevailing atmospheric color. Tho
deep blue of the sky in Italy and the
tropics is solely from the faot that at¬
mospheric dust is finer there.
Rainfall is produced by dust. Every
particle of moisture evaporated by
the sun condenses upon a paiticle of
dust as a nucleus, and hence precipita¬
tion in rain. We could have no snow,
no clouds, no fogs, no color without
dust. In winter everything would bo
covered with a crust of ice. In short,
without this usually considered nuis¬
ance, living, dusj^ life if living would not possible.— be xvortk

Mildewctl Clothes.
Clothes that sprinkled overnight y
are
in sultry weather are quite apt to mil¬
dew before morning. Rub them with
buttermilk and lay them in tho sun,
anil the mildew, unless very bad, will
disappear. Another remedy is salt
and vinegar. It may bo well to state
that badly mildewed clothes can never
be made white.

Coulil Only Sec at Night.
Tkero is a case recorded near Lyons
in 1867 of a girl who not only was un¬
able to see iu tho daytime, but had to
bo kept in a dark room, so painful was
the light to her eyes. She was taken
out for exercise every night and dis¬
played a power of vision that was al¬
most telescopic. She was able to dis¬
tinguish moving figures on a road,
when persons beside her with good
sight could see nothing but the black¬
ness of night. The ignorant French
peasantry thought tho child bewitched
and an attempt was made to poison
her. Tho parents became alarmed nnd
fled to Paris, taking tho girl with
them. She was taken to a hospital,
whero she came into the notice of Dr.
Paille, the famous occulist, and he
paid tho parents for the privilege of
lecturing on tho phenomenon. Tho
girl eventually died insaue, but re¬
tained her power of seeing at night in
tho dark until the last moment .—New
