Miami River Flood Endangers Several Towns. Dayton, O., March 28.—As a result ! of Monday’s rainfall and thaw the Miami river is rising at the rate of four inches an hour. While the city is believed to be adequately protected the lowlands south are already flooded and great property damage is feared. A portion of Miamisburg is under wa- ter and the mills at that place have been forced to suspend operations. Above Troy the Miami broke its banks, flooding a section of that city. Evansville, a village south of Tippe- canoe City, is under water. A section of the residence district of German- town is under water, Twin creek over- flowing its banks. The cessation of rain and cooler weather, it is hoped, will relieve the situation.

Springfield, 0., March 28—Wight boys who were arrested by the sol- diers some days ago during the riots here walked out of the police court during the day free. Judge Miller, when the rioters were arraigned be- fore him, in speaking of the recom- mendation of the jury that the fine be only $1 on account of the youth of the accused, said: “This matter is an outrage. I can do nothing but inflict the nominal fine of $1 as recommended by the jury. This jury was made up of leading busi- ness men and manufacturers and their recommendation is an cutrage.” He then announced that he remitted the fines and costs. Bank Robbers Secure $1,500. Bentley, Kan.,, March 28.—Robbers early in the day wrecked the safe of the Bank of Bentley with dynamite and escaped with $1.500. MURDERED ON WEDDING DAY. Father Slays Daughter and Commits Suicide. Everett, Mass., March 28.—Less than three hours before the time set for her wedding Pansy E. Townsend was shot and mortally wounded by her father, Joseph P. Townsend, in their home in this city. Townsend then ended his life with a bullet. Miss Townsend was to have been married to Francis E. Perry of Fort Meyers, Fla, at the People’s temple, Boston, several hours after the tragedy. The only clue to the cause of the tragedy was a note written by Towns- end, which read: - “I have taken my daughter’s life and my own rather than see her the wife of Francis Perry.” There were 43,415 births in Minne- sota in 1905, or one every twelve min- {utes. The rate is 21.3 to the 1,000 of population, or about twice the highest death rate of any community in the state. doors. or AL TONICS The ingredients that enter into S. S. S. and the method of com- bining and preparing them so that they build up and strengthen every part of the body, make it the greatest of all tonics. S. S. S. is nature’s remedy—PURELY VEGETABLE—and while it is restoring the lost appe- tite, overcoming that tired, run-down feeling, and other ailments common to Spring, which warn us that it is necessary to take a tonic, it is purifying the blood of all poisons and waste matters so that it can supply to the system the strength and nourishment it needs to keep it in perfect condition during the depressing summer months that are to follow. - Spring is the season when most every one needs a tonic. It is nature’s time for renewing and changing; and as everything puts on new life, the sap rises in vegetation, the earth thaws out from its winter freezes, and all respond to Spring’s call to purge and purify themselves, there is a great change also takes place in our bodies. The blood endeavors to throw off the poisons and accumulations. which have formed in the system, and been absorbed by it, from the inactive winter life, and calls upon every member to assist in the elimination. ‘The system is often unequal to the struggle, the appetite grows fickle, the energies give way, the spirits are depressed, and a general run- down condition is the result. » Then the body must have assistance— it must be strengthened and aided by a tonie, and S. S. S. is the ideal one. Being made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, it does AN EFFORT TO PULL THROUGH THE DAY. I have used S. S. S. quite extensively and unhesitatingly recommend it as the best blood purifier and tonic made. I am a machinist by trade and at one time my system was so run down that by 10 o'clock every day I would be com- pletely exhausted, and it was with the greatest effort that I counld pull through the balance of the day. Since taking S. S S., however, all this has disappeared. Iam a strong, vigorous man, abundantly able to do my day’s work, my appetite has been whetted up so that I can eat anything, my sleep is sweet and refreshing, and I know further that it has purified my blood and-put.itin good condition, I cannot speak too highly of your great remedy, S. S. S. 817 W. Broad St., Columbus, 0. A.B. MONTGOMERY. SHE FOUND IT THE BEST SPRING TONIC. On two occasions I have used S. 8. S. in the spring with fine results. I can heartily recommend it as a tonio ancl blood purifier. I was troubled with headache, indigestion and liver troubles, which all disappeared under the use of S. 8. S. My appetite, which was poor, was greatly 1 lped. Iocan eatanything I want now without fear of in- cigestion, and my blood has been thoroughly oleansed of all impurities and made rich and strong again. As a tonio and blood purifier it is all you olaim for it. 771 E. Main St., Springfield, O. MRS. G. WIEGEL. not disagreeably affect the system in any way as do most of the so-called tonics on the market, which contain Potash or some other harmful mineral ingredient to derange the stomach and digestion, unfavorably affect the bowels, or otherwise damage the health. S. S. S. tones up the stomach and digestion and assists in the assimilation of food; it rids the system of that always-tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and tone to every part of the body. It re- establishes the healthy circulation of the blood, stimulates the sluggish organs, and calms the unstrung nerves which make one feel that he is on the verge of prostration. S.S.S. gives an appetite and relish for food that nothing else does, and by its use we can find our- selves with as hearty, hungry an appetite in Spring as at any other season. Foon It acts more promptly and gives better and more lasting results than any other remedy, and is absolutely safe because of its vegetable purity. ¢ tated people will find S. S. S. is just the medicine that is needed for the purification of the blood, which, from its diseased or impure condition, is causing their trouble, as well as for toning up and helping the entire system. When you take your tonic this Spring do not experiment, but get the best—the tonic with forty years of success behind it, and the one endorsed by the best people all over the country—8. S. S., THE GREATEST OF ALL Tt is necessary at this time, when the system is depleted and weakened at every int, that the right remedy be used—one that is especially adapted to the condition, and .. 8. S. kas proved itself to be this remedy for many years. stem will be so built up and strengthened that the disagreeable affections of 1ot be felt as warmer weather comes on. : ° : FHE SWIFT SPECITIC COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA.
