This 1ms boon especially noticeable (luring tlie "war scare," our daily report being eon sorvativo and as accurate as it was possible to make it. There is no more valuable news franchise than that of the American l'ress Associa tion. Many complaints have been made of late by our merchants that they are daily besieged by those who not only invite, but more frequently urge them to buy a ticket to some ball or dini'o, or some musical or literary entertainment, or urge them to take a space in some advertising scheme that, to any one of them, is of no earthly use whatever, and oftentimes when refused, tlie person soliciting is indignant because successful.

It was announced some time ago that an agreement between the three silver parties that neither would try to take from the other seats held by it in tlie present Congress, and that in the contest for the next Congress local conditions should determine which party was entitled to the candidate in districts not now hold by either of the silver parties, and that the national organizations should not sanction tlio presence of two diver candidates in tlie Held. Tlie information is that the Demo crats are charged by their allies with trying a hocus pocus game at the very outset, aiming to get from the Silver Republicans and Populists as many as possible of the seats now hold by those two parties in the House and Senate. It is asserted that if this has not already led to a dissolution of the alliance, it is sure to do so. The Board of Health. We lire in receipt of the following communication, and as it bears upon the duties of an important branch of our borough government, wo give it space in our columns : Ku.Hkualii: I notleo the appropriation to the Hoard of Health bus been Inercuscd, Will you tell the nubile why this 1m dolio? Judicium from the work o f that body, and that nf the Health Officer, it Hhould ba decreased. Thoiccord of births, marriages and deaths may bo necessary, but why not nqu're the Health Otriccr to have certain hours to devoto to hi work and hc that ho perforins It. Tho Hoard of Health Is nil ex Ientvo luxury, and it should be abolished or clve somethinjr In return for tbo expenditure. .Mini:ic. Shenandoah, March 20, 1S0.S. AVliilo tho Hoard of Health, or rather its salaried olllclals, do not meet the expectations of tlie people, yet we believe our correspondent is Homewhat severe in his criticisms. The annual appropriation was in creased from $750 to $800, for tho very good reason tiiat it required the latter amount to meet the expenses of tho Hoard last year. In making the appropriations, we understand, tlie Borough Council was governed by tho expenditures last year. That the Hoard "is an expensive luxury," is true; but this is duo to tlie reluct antly of the Hoard in putting the screws on its salaried officials men who are paid to perform certain duties. For tho past two or three months the Hoard has been considering the subject of milk inspection and up to tho present time it has resulted in nothing but talk. Kvery member of the Hoard will acknowledge that a move in this direction is proper, yot with each succeeding meeting, for the past three months, the subject is do bated without definite action. Tlio President, at tho meeting last week, complained that it was impossible to secure the services of a business man to act tis milk inspector. This Im plies the creation of another olllee mid it goes without saying that we have Hiilllcient sinecures in this town already. Three or four years ago this subject was before tlie Hoard, and tho Bor ough Council purchased u lactometer, at the Board's suggestion, and the instrument has never been used. At that time the Health Onicor was to inspect and test tlio milk sold hero There is no good reason why he Hhould not do so now. It certainly comes within the scope of his duties, and no one will have the hardihood to say that lie hasn't the time to de vote to this work. The Hoard should do one of two tilings adopt a motion instructing the Heulth Olllcer to in spect tlie milk consumed here, or cease debating the question. It is true, Shenandoah's saultury condition is not of the nest. This being acknowledged, there is plenty of work here for the Hoard of Health, and. as our correspondent says, that body "should give something tu re turn for the expenditure." We bo Hevo that at least two or three Mem bers' of that body are disposed to break up the "ring" that has eon trolled the destinies of the Hoard in the past, and then coin pull the salaried ollWals to do their duty in the abatement of nuisances of long standing. The olllclals now stand in with tlie ring, and what thoy say goes, llreak up the "ring," infuse new life into the Hoard, and the result will be apparent. NUGGETS 'OF NEWS.

The Greenland drove ashore In Bay de Verde Saturday night during a heavy gale, her anchor chains parting, but she got off again without serious damage. She had another narrow es cape wlille making St. John's harbor, owing to an Imperfect compass and a thick fog. A man who was watching her from the rigging of a vessel nearby fell to the deck and has since died from his Injuries. The Greenland hns 14,000 seals.

Unless rain should come copiously nnd quickly, the present freshet of the Ohio river will very soon pour the great Hood Into tho Mississippi river. From Portsmouth up It Is fnlllng, while at all points be low to Cnlro It Is rising. Here nt Cin cinnati tho current Is unusually swift, which Indicates that the access of water fiom tributaries below had di minished greatly and given free course to the piled up waters above. In the lowlands of Cincinnati nearly a thou sand houses are Hooded from ono to four feet. Some havo been abandoned. In two story houses families remain in the upper stories. Of Hooded houses 500 are In and ubout Cummlnsville from backwater in Mill creek, where the lnudntlon Is more nnnoylng than seri ous. In nnd about Columbia, tho ex treme up river limit of the city, 400 houses are Hooded. At Htverslde, the extreme down stream limit of the city, 100 houses aro affected about as at Columbia. Some people occupy tents on the highlands. On the Kentucky side the Inhabitants of lowlands near Dayton and Bellvue have been placed In the same un pleasant situation as their Cincinnati neighbors. No railroad In Cincinnati has been disturbed by the Hood except that some have been deprived of the use of the Grand Central depot. Thus far no casualties have been reported, and tho damnge Is over so far ns this section Is concerned, lteports from Mississippi river points, however, are alarming. St. Louis, March 28. Specials from river points say that at Illlopolls, Ills., the Wabash railroad bridges on both sides of the town are washed out and the families living In tho Sangamon bottom have been obliged to leave their homes. At Virginia, Ills., tho adjacent lowlands are Hooded six to eight feet deep, doing great damage. Petersburg, Ills., reports more than DO families driven from their homes. Over half the city of Chandlersvllie, Ills., is under water. A special from Hannibal, Mo., says that that part of the city along Bear creek is under water, muklng travel Impossible except In skiffs or vehicles. Both tho city and the Missouri,. Kan sas and Texas railroad dykes gave way, flooding a section two miles long nnd arousing the sleeping Inmates, who barely had time to escape. There wero many narrow escapes, and had It not been for the prompt assistance ten dered by those who owned boats many would have perished.

K P. Agt. NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD A fact often overlooked, or not always under stood, is that women Miner as much from dis tressing kidney and bladder troubles as the men. The womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for thnt reason any distress, disease or inconvenience mani fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to fe male weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made nnd may be as easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty four hours ; a sediment or settling is evidence that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring. If you have pain or dull aching in the back pass Waterloo frequently, or scanty supply, with smarting or burning, these are also con vincing proofs of kidney trouble. If you have doctored without benefit, try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, the great kidney remedy. The mild nnd the extraordinary eflect will 'surprise you. It stnnds the highest for its wonderful cures, If you take a medicine you should take the best. At druggists fifty cents und one dol lar.
