Everybody Needs
a Spring tonic. The peculiar
conditions at this season pro
duce a depressed, care-worn,
languid feeling, which per
vades the entire body. 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. Nature should be as
sisted by na
ture's remedy,

Waihlngton, April 12. 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. Tennessee Is not far
behind Missouri In the extent of Its Im
periled Interests,
Uofore tho PubllcA Scranton Store
Keeper Testifies.
Scmnton is greatly Interested In the home
testimony that Is being brought forward in
favor of the "llttlo conqueror " Our repre
sentative investigated another case In that of
Sir. Daniel Mohr, who liasalittleitore nt No

nn though no burden that any ordinary back
is called upon to liear would prove too great
for IiIh and still a few months ago he could
not lift a busbol of potatoes for a customer.
Ileing by trade a quarrynmn, which taxes
tho muscles of the body, lie overtaxed tliem
once and strained the kidneys, and catelilng
cold at the time, it settled there, causing
Idnoy disorder, nnd with this ho has been
rou bled more or less for the past IS years.
Colds he says, always went right to the
back, nnd arcordlng to tho varying of the
weather and his work he would have alter
nate sharp and dull pains In the back. Lift

pain In the bank which was always stl ft" In

Suit Against u Ca-oporn'tlvoTown.
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.

Mount Vernon, Ills., April 12. Boys
passing through some woodland five

from the spot where the head lay with
the flosh stripped from the bones, both
the trunk and head being so badly de
composed as to render recognition Im
possible. The testimony at the inquest
went to prove that the body waa that

Saturday night. She refused to divulge
her name, but said her honjp was in

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 demands not only a true
and complete Independence of herolo
Crete, but the same Independence for
Eplrus, Macedonia and Thrace. 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.
