Verted that the Populists
ver Hopubiicans are about to
Ik witli the Democrats on account
Jf a discovery that the latter are not
willing to "tote fair" with them. 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.

St. John's, N. F.. March 28. The scal

Bay de Verde Saturday night with a
story of terrible disaster to her crew
on Wednesday and Thursday, while
among the ice floes In search of seals,
arrived here yesterday afternoon. She
reported 25 men dead, 23 missing nnd GO
so fearfully frostbitten that about 20
of them will lose their limbs. The

the disaster, nothing IrVe which has
ever been known here. Already a re

relatives of the deceased.
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. She

SEWARD'S DIG DEBT.

Calvin Huboii, an old tlnio lawyor of
this city who dlod In Llbby prison, usod
to toll n good story of William II. Suwnrd,
In whoso olllco ho studied law for about
two years. Seward rotlrcd from tho gov
ernor's chnlr ?200,0O0 in debt, llorettlrnod
to Auburn and went to practicing law.
It wns not long after this that Wood
ford, the famous uimmfiicturcr of plows,
began to havo a lot of trouble with linns
all over tho country who Infringed his
patents. lie began to look about him for
a lawyor tu prosomito tliom. Heal 11 ng
thnt It was n glgnntlo task, ho would hnrc
none hut tho bust lawyer to be sceptred, In
his search ho wont to Albany nT attended
tho court of nppoalsfor soveitl!i,Vfl. Sew
ard was arguing a cnm'J.tt court nnd
Woodward's attentlnrjy?t traded tohlni.

Whnn Woodwnrd wont tn find Snwnrd nl

hnd taken tho train Immediately nftor the
close of court for Auburn. Woodwnrd fol
lowed him on tho next train, nnd ongagod
Suwnrd to conduct his cahu for him, After
somo months Sowurd went to Albany to

Tho opposition was represented by 12
lawyers, among whom were senators, con
grcssmuu and some of tVu Ixnt nttorncyE
in tho stato. After imic.li debating among
themselves ns to who should conduct the
defense, they finally settled the job upon
ono of their number. Ho was no match
for Sowurd, who onslly won tho case mid
got a strong opinion from the court.
Armed with tho opinion, Seward wont
back to Auburn and began tho fight all
along tlio lino, wherever there was nn in

In tho infringement, and thoy were scat

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. Many poor fam
ilies are made homeless, with their
household goods destroyed. Fortunate
ly there were no fatalities.
From Extreme Nervousness.
HAT no ono remedy can contain the
clemonts necessary to euro all diseas

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. You may have a sample bottle and
pamphlet, both sent free by mail upon receipt
of three 2-ccnt stamps to cover postage.
Mention IlKRAU) and send your address to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., llinjjliamton, N. Y. The pro
prietors of this paper guarantee the genuine
