When nature, unassisted, attempts to get rid of the accumulated impurities, the energies give way, the appetite fails, r worn out, run-down condition is the result. All of which can be avoided by a few bottles of Swifts Specific which promptly purifies the the blood and thoroughly renovates the entire system, tones and strengthens the stomach, and renews the ap petite. It is the only safe tonic, beting purely vegetable, and the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no ar senic, sulphur, mercury, pot ash or other mineral sub stance, whice is of so much importance to all who know the injurious effects of these drugs.

A statement relative to the agricultural Interests o the submerged tllitrtols of the Missis sippi valley south' of Onlro, Ills., has been Issued by the department of agri culture. It Is lMMed unon a chart pre pared under the direction 'of the chief of the weather bureau, showing the extent of the Hood on April 6. Tflo "this chart the department hat applied the crop statistics of 189 as representing more closely than any other avallabla data the acreage and value of the orops of 1897, now In Jeopardy. The statistics of population, of the number of acreage of farms and farm Implements are those of the census, and the statistics of live stock are the department's own figures for Jan. 1, 1897. The total area under water on April 6 was about 16,800 square miles, ol which 7,900 square miles Was In Missis sippi, 4,l00 square miles In Arkansas, 1,750 square miles in Missouri, 1,200 In Tennessee and 4S0 In Louisiana. ThU region contained In 1890, so far as can be determined In view of the some what Indefinite boundary lines of tlw flood, a population of 379,885, of which 180,489, or about one-half, was in mis slsslppl, 100.235 in Arkansas, and the remainder almost equally divided be tween Missouri and Tennessee. Taking the entire region the colored population outnumbered the whites in the pro portion of 12 to 7, the colored predom inating in the flooded districts of Mls- alsippl in the ratio of more than C to 1, and In Arkansas In that of 2 to 1, In Missouri and Tennessee the popula tion of the flooded districts Is largely white, In the former state In the pro portion of 10 to 1, and In the latter In that of 2 to 1 The Hooded districts contain, It Is es timated, about 39,500 farms, of which about lS.uOO are In Mississippi, nearly 10.000 In Arkansas, and a like number about equally divided between Mis souri and Tennessee. These farms con tain a total acreage of about 3,800,000 acres, one-half of which Is in Missis sippi and one-fourth in Arkansas, the proportions In Missouri and Tennessee being about the same, as in tho -case of the number of farms. The total value of these farms, with their Im provements, farm Implements; etc.,' Is close upon $05,000,000, and here also the proportions In the different states are about the same as above noted. The total number of acres Improved at the taking of the last census was about 2,000,000, and about 1,500,000 acres were last year devoted to cotton and corn, to which crops nearly 95 per cent of the entire acreage cultivated Is de Voted. The live stock on hand Jan. 1 of the present year was valued at over $7,500,000, divided In very much the same proportions as other farm prop erty. It Is estimated that of the crops of last year over $3,750,000 worth re malned on hand In the submerged ro clon on the Inst of the month, cotton representing about two-thirds of this amount- and corn practically all tno remainder. The largest Interests at stake so far are those of the state of Mississippi, whose flooded districts represent an invested capital in agriculture alone of close upon $42,000,000. Over 18,000 farms, con talnlng 2,000,000 acres of land of an average value of about $18 an acre, are under water In the country lying be tween the Mississippi and Tazoo rivers, Including some of the most productive lands of the state. Their live stock, oven at tho present low prices, is worth nearly $3,500,000, and the farm era and planters are estimated to havo about $2,000,000 worth of the crops or last year stilt on hand Arkansas stands next in the extent of Its Imperiled Interests, nearly 10,000 farms, containing 1,500,000 acres or land worth over $14,000,000, being submerged, These farms contain live stock to the value of over $1,500,000, and crops un sold and unconsumed to the value of near';- $1.00,000, the entire agricultural lntert.'t-! of these lands representing value not f ir short of $17,000,000. The agricultural Interests affected In Missouri represent a total capital of rather over $9,000,000, the 5,3000 sub merged farms containing an acreage of about 470,000 acres, worth about $7,260, 000, the live Btook representing nearly $1,500,000 more, and the crops on hand another $600,000.

Bristol, Tenn., April 12. Suit has been brought against the Co-operativo Town company, of Ellzabethton, nskln; for a receiver, and also that the prop erty of tho company should be sub Jected to the payments of the com pany's Indebtedness, amounting to $1,000,000. It Is charged that tho com pany was Insolvent when Its property was transferred to the Wautauga Land company, more than a year ago. Tho bill also alleges that the deal was one In which John G. Carlisle, Robert P, Forter, Benjamin Butterworth, Judge McComas and other men of national prominence were Interested. It Is said that there Is a deficit of $50,000. What effect the flood will have upon tho crops of the present season depends unon the length of Its continuance, ana the practicability of wheat planting after the subsidence of the flood. The entire rrrton under water on April 6 pro duced last year about 370,000 bales of ootton. valued at close on $13,000,000 over 11.000.000 bushels of corn, worth about $3,400,000. and wheat, oats, po tatoes and hay worth over $800,000 more. The most vnluablp portion of these crops was raised In Mississippi whose region now submerged produced nearly a quarter of a million bales of cotton, besides other products, mostly for local consumption. The counties wholly or partially sub merged are among the largest cotton producing counties In the United States. Yazoo county, which alone has produced over 60,000 bales In a season, Is one-half under water, while Bolivar county, Coahomea, Issaquena, Wash ington (with a productive oapaclty of 100,000 bales) and other famous coun ties are partially submerged. The weather bureau nreulota a fur ther extension of the flooded area, but no attempt, of course, ha been made to estimate the serious possibilities of such extension.

Athens, April 11. Accounts are very conflicting as to what really happpened last Friday when the frontier was crossed by the Insurgents. A special correspondent of the Associated Preas went to Larlssa Saturday evening and ascertains that the Invaders numbered upward of 3,000. Among them were Amllcare Ceiprlanl and his Italian vol unteers. The entire force was under the command of three ex-officers of the Greek army, Kapsatopoulas), My lanos and Zlepetros, and four Mace donian chiefs, Zermaa, Da veils, Vrakaa and Vrantto. The redesvous was at Konlskos, a village near ICalabakas. The men were all fully armed and wore the national costume, their black fur caps bearing the badge and Initials of the Etlinlke Iletalra embroidered In blue and white, with the words "En Tonto Ntka" cross ing the Initials In black. On Friday a monk from Mount Athos, assisted by his abbot and two deacons, held a religious service at Konlskaa, at which all members of the invading body partook of the sacrament and reg istered the oath of the order "Liberty or Death." During Friday night, following the service, the frontier was crossed, the force moving in the direction of Scliulk. While tills movement was In progress second band, the number of which Is as yet unknown, had a rendezvous at Kezeros, about 36 kilometers north of Iarlssa, and near the coast. This band was similarly equipped, had a similar mission, and took the same oath. It was commanded by the Mace donian chief, Slnslnlkos. It crossed the frontier on Thursday night, marching on Karya. As everywhere In the vale of Tempe, in this portion 'of the frontier the roads and bridges are in a condition of thor ough repair. Testerday the roar of mil itary could be plainly heard at Lar lssa from the din of Karva, where Slnslnlkos Is evidently forcing matters. General Makrls and his staff, with some knowledge or tne movements afoot which they were unwilling to Impart, left Saturday for Tyrnavos, the most Important Greek position near Blassona. Four batteries of reinforce ments followed yesterday for the same point. At headquarters they declare that nothing Is known as to the raid and will say nothing as to the prob able character of the raiders. However, some additional light has been thrown on the subject by an interview between the representative of the Associated Press and a prominent Greek, who Is evidently In close touch with the league and Its plans. The Greek said: "The movement of these bands is all In accordance with a clearlv defined program, For years thousands ot Greeks, even little children, on receiv ing a shilling have been in the habit of putting half of it Into a national box in the cause of Pan Hellenism. For many months it has been the plan of the league to stir up all the Pan Hellep.lo peoolo by means of armed bands. Now that a great moment has come In Greek history, wo have seized upon it. Our aim at present Is to get behind the Turkish lines and to stir up all our brethren. "Whether or not Europe Insists on the Integrity of Turkey, Greece Is not animated by selfish views, or with any desire for annexing territory to the kingdom.

She de mands Independence lor an tne suoju irated nonulatlon of Asia Minor. There fore, Greece will face any danger in order to reach that end." Strlnurent orders have been Issued analnst Irregular fighting, and the pen altv of death will be imposed for any Infraction. The general impresBlon here Is that war will be proclaimed today or tomorrow. The position of affairs Is now extremely critical. Although the Turkish army has not yet assumed the offensive, orders to that effect from the sultan are expected at any moment, All classes of the troops are full of war enthusiasm. The Athens newspapers reflect the popular enthusiasm, and contain high ly optimistic forecasts of the progress of the band in Macedonia, where Its presence is expected to exert a magical Influence on the Christian population and to be a signal for a general up rising. The former exploits of the fa mous insurgent leaders accompanying the expedition afford, It is believed, euaranty of splendtd success In the future. One newspaper says that the die Is now cast: that a successful be ginning has been made; that It Is all over with diplomacy, negotiations and Identical notes or blockades, and that the eloquent voice of the rllle has spoken at last. A telegram from Arta says that Greek bands are crossing the frontier at various points, and that war seems inevitable. Bmwl Bwrngamwd and NervGusness Pre Sttdfii by Stomaoh Trouble.
