After Bringing Down Build ings About Occupants' Ears. Great Flood in Indiana. CINCINNATI. Feb. IT. The crest of the great flood in the Ohio River, which has passed Flttsburr and Wheeling, is now approaching this city and a stage cf 50 feet will probably be reached to. morrow. A height of at least 65 feet is expected, which would cripple all rail roads. The river has already overflowed its banks, inundated many thousand acres and driven dwellers along Its banks to the hills. Thousands of people living on the low lanris -in this city are already preparing to flee before the noud and much misery will follow the plague of water. WATER RECEDES AT PITTSBURG Three Lives Lost and $2,000,000 Damage Done. PITTSBURG. Feb. 17. The rivers in Pittsburg and its suburbs have re turned to the limits of their banks, and except for the cleaning up the flood is over. The Weather Bureau's gauge at the Chief Point bridge tonight regis tered 20 feet, 2 feet below the danger line, and the rivers are falling at the rate of three-tenths of a foot an hour. The body of one man was found floating in the river today and two oth ers are missing. Over 20,000 men are temporarily thrown out of work, and tills great number, so suddenly added to the army of the unemployed, is resulting in widespread suffering. Thousands of per sons are living in the second stories or their homes, and patrolmen in skiffs are distributing the necessities of life. In one of the homes a woman gave birth to a child today and it has been named Robinson Crusoe. To reach the house the physician had to use a skiff and ladder. Conservative estimates place the dam age close to J2.000.000. Transportation facilities are gradually assuming normal conditions, and a general cleaning up ot the submerged district is in progress. WATER UNDERMINES BUILDINGS Two Pittsburg Houses Collapse and One Man Narrowly Escapes. PITTSBURG. Pa.. Feb. 17. With a great roar, two brick dwelling-houses, Nos. 22 and 24 Penn avenue, in the district inun dated by the flood waters, collapsed early today and fell Into the street. A score of occupants, warned by the crackling walls, barely had time to reach the streets before tons of brick and plas ter tumbled into the streets. U. S. Anderson was cut and bruised by flying debris and IS other persons narrow ly escaped being crushed to death. All but Anderson rushed to the street in their nisht clothes Just a moment before the building fell in a heap. For some time great excitement prevailed, as It was reported that many persons had been buried, hurry calls for police reserves, ambulances and firemen were sent in and search of the ruins began. Anderson's voice could be heard calling for help and frantic efforts were made to release him. It was found the man was wedged between heavy timbers in the basement and over him were tons of brick and plaster, braced in such a man ner, however, that he was entombed, but not seriously Injured. After several hours' work he was released, and sent, to a hospital, where It was later stated he would recover. The escape of the other occupants was miraculous. The loud crackling of the walls a few minutes before the houses collapsed, served as a warning and saved all from being crushed. The passing flood was responsible for the accident. The foundations of both dwellings, which were old. had been weakened by the high water, causing them to collapse. Other buildings in the vicinity are in a like condition, and building Inspectors are making a thorough examination of the places today.

SLAV OUT AFTER BLOOD SLASHES FELLOW COUNTRYMAN IN ARM WITH KNIFE. Not Content With Almost Killing Man, He Attacks Others With Hatchet, But Is Overpowered. Sandor Vladisavlyev, a Slav, is ac cused of havlnfr waylaid Joe Panich last night and slashed him in the arm, causing such loss of blood that he may die. He is alleged to have later at tacked a party of Panich's friends with a hatchet. He was arrested at 2:30 this morning. The attack on Panich was made as he emerged from the old Tivoli saloon, near tne corner of Russell and Delay streets, where Policeman Glttlngs was murdered. The Slav rushed suddenly upon Panich and cut a gash six inches long in his arm, severing an artery. After Panich had been taken to his home, Vladisavlyev ran to his home and secured a hatchet and, together with his brother, started back for the saloon where several of the wounded man's friends still were. He was met on the way by a policeman, who took him to the police station instead. As the police had not been notified of the stabbing and as there was no com plaint against the man, he was allowed to go. On his way home he encountered the friends of Panich in a saloon at First and Davis streets and made a violeut attack upon them with the hatchet. In the melee which ensued he was ejected by the proprietor and the men he had attacked went to the police station and told of the cutting affair earlier in the evening. The assail ant was later found on his way home with his shoes oft and pretending to be very sick. Vladisavlyev is employed in the O. R. & N. shops and lives at 41 Morris street.

REED SURVIVORS'- ' HARHDIAING TALE Four Drift in Open Boat 200 Miles to North of the Wreck. 1 CNE DIES ON THE WAY In Lifeboat launched as the Emily Reed Struck, First Mate, Cook and Two Seamen Drift Near ly Three Days Without Food. SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 17. A special to the Post-Intelligencer from Neah Bay says: At about 11 o'clock last night the crew of the little six-ton sloop Teckla, lying at anchor here, were startled by a feeble hail from a steel lifeboat drawing up slowly In the light breeze. In the boat were the forms of four men, three living and one dead, survivors of the American ship Emily Reed, wrecked off the mouth of the Nehalem River, on the Coast of Oregon, 200 miles from Neah Bay. The men in the boat were: First Mate Fred Zube. Seaman Ewald Ablldstedt. Seaman Arthur Jahunke. Ship's cook, name unknown. The dead man was the ship's cook. The three living survivors were in a pitiful condition. Their tongues were swollen from thirst so that at first they could scarcely articulate. All three men were In terrible condition from hunger and thirst, for they had had no food since last Thursday night nor any water since they left the wreck of the Reed at 1:30 Friday morning. Mr. Zube said: Story of First Mate. i "Almost the instant the Reed struck the beach she began to break up. In a twinkling one of the lifeboats was smashed by a big wave and the decks were so deep in the boiling water, that there was no chance to get aft, where Captain Kersel and his wife, with some of the other members of the crew, were stationed. We Jumped Into the remain ing lifeboat and cut the lashings. Be fore we had completed the job a big sea broke over the wreck and carried . us clear of the decks. "A strong current swept us toward the stern of the wreck, where we could see Captain Kersel and the rest of the ship's company clinging to the roof of the after bouse. We yelled to them to throw us a line as we went under the stern, and some one threw one, but It fell short of our boat. My arm had been broken when the wrecking galley dropped on to us and there was only one good oar, as the other had been broken and the spare oars washed away. We did our best to get back to the wreck, but the set of the undertow carried us away. Cook Gives Up in Despair. "We tried to head for Tillamook Light, but we had no compass to steer by. When morning broke I found we were standing far out to sea. I thought it best to keep the boat well out, hoping to fall into the path of steamships. With this hope I set the course northward along the coast. "The second night out we saw lights, but it was too dark to venture In. There was neither food nor water and we suf fered terribly from thirst during Satur day. Toward evening the cook declared he could stand it no longer and took a drink of sea water. He soon became de lirious. "At ab6ut 2 o'clock Sunday morning we saw a big steamer. She stopped near us and we all hoped we would be saved. But the vessel got under way again and left us. The cook gave up the fight then. He lay down in the water and in a few min utes he was dead. "About 7 o'clock Sunday morning we made out Tatoosh Island. We were all too tired to manage the boat very well, but along toward Sunday afternoon I got her headed back toward Neah Bay. "Sunday seemed the worst day we were out. We kept seeing all aorts of vessels passing back and forth, but none of them would answer our hails. We were ren erally too far off to be made out plainly, I guess." Montavllla Improvement Board.

Don't waste your time and money trying to learn to like coffee substitutes. They are unsatisfactory. They can never be made to take the place of real coffee. You can drink coffee, no matter what your past experience has been, but you must buy coffee that is purified. It is not real coffee that does harm. It is the bitter, poison-bearing Cellulose that is contained in all coffee that causes bad after effects. by specially constructed machinery has had removed from it the parts that are surcharged with the elements that are. a positive poison to many people. It is the Poison in the useless, bitter chaff that causes Headaches, Sleeplessness, Biliousness, Nervousness, a sallow complexion, Nausea, Flatulency and other disagreeable derangements. In "Puri-tan-ated" Coffee this chaff has been taken out and discarded. When you buy "Puri-tan-ated" Coffee you get only the part of the berry that contains the nourishing elements that are desirable, and the essential oils that give to the beverage brewed from it its delicious taste, and the Caffeine, the mild stimulant that doctors agree is most beneficial, as it causes no re-action and is a wonderfuj digestion promoter. Physicians everywhere prescribe and recommend "Puri-tan-ated" Coffee to their patients who have had to abandon other coffees in the past; they also use it in their own families. The fact that "Puri-tan-ated" Coffee carries Caffeine, Caffeol and Fat to the extent of over 14 per cent in excess of the amount that the United States standard authority requires coffee must contain of these desirable elements, shows why a pound of "Puri-tan-ated" Coffee will go about one-fifth further than any other coffees. In brewing coffee from "Puri-tan-ated," use less coffee and thus save money, and notice that the beverage you brew is more delicious than any you have ever before used. This is because the bitter tasting, poisonous ingredients are not there to detract from the delicious flavor. The desirable elements in "Puri-tan-ated" are in a free state, and are liberated immediately on coming in contact with boiling water. This is why "Puri-tan-ated" gives so much pleasure and health to all its users. Try it and become convinced of its merits. "Puri-tan-ated" Coffee is sold by first-class dealers everywhere, who have their customers' interests at heart, and believe in maintaining a high standard of excellence in pure food products.
