Traffic has been entirely suspended
over the Madison-street bridge and it
in possible that the ancient structure
will not withstand the flood. A few
persons on foot were permitted to cross
yesterday, but at 1:30 in the afternoon
r'n this was stopped. The bridge
will not be opened aura in during the

training the structure heavily at that
Jioint. The steamers Stimson and KI

jest-may Dut made little impression
n the pile of Togs lodged against the
t'ridge. The west span swayed fully

to the action of the current on the
piling of tiie additional piers.
At the public levee eight river steam

are In an eddy and are In no danger

Chapman said yesterday: -I do not

There was no chance for It to go down,
for we had placed piling beneath it for

look very nice, but It made the bridge
passable. Now that the piling has been
washed out. the bridge ts unsafe for cars
or wagons.
"Whether It will ever be opened again.
J rannot say. It Is our desire to keep the
bridge open to traffic as long as possi

depend entirely upon the condition In

Occidental civilization Is proving too
much for the Hindus who have been pour

attempting to emulate the white man's
ways. 18 disciples of Brahma were In the
Municipal Court yesterday morning, on
charges ranging from drunkeness to dis
orderly conduct.
Although these Hindus have been In
America only a few months, they have
already forgotten fastings and religious
fanaticism of every sort and are rapidly
becoming bestial in a degree suitable to
a new environment.' Although none of
them is given to the constant use of
A strong effort Is to be made to open

Initial steps. If tho movement Is suc

extended throug-h the Ladd farm paral

Councilman A. N. Wills favors the
opening of this street, and If need be,
will bring all his power In tho Coun

attention to the fact that by opening

When You Think
Of the pain which many women experience with every
month it make the gentleness and kindness always associ
ated with womanhood seem to be almost a miracle.
While in general no woman rebels against what she re
gards as a natural necessity there is no woman who would
not gladly be free from this recurring period of pain.
Dr. Pierce' Favorite Premcrlptlon makes
weak women strooi and aick women
we, and tires them freedom trom pain,
it establishes re&alarlty, subdues Inllam
matlon, heals ulceration and cures fe
male weakness.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter,
fret. AH correspondence strictly nri-rate and sacredlv
confidential. Write without fear and without fee to World' Dispensary Med
ical Association, R. V. Fierce, M. D., President, Buffalo, N. Y.

To those in doubt as to their

and advice, either at my office or

WEAKNESS.
You've probably been treated for
so-called weakness and helped
temporarily or not at all. and tha
reason is very apparent when
cause of loss of power In
men is understood. Weakness Is
merely a symptom of chronic In
flammation of the prostate gland,
which my treatment removes,
thereby permanently restoring;
strength and vigor.
CONTRACTED DISORDERS.
Tou can depend upon a quick and
thorough euro by my treatment. A
quick euro is desirable because a
slow cure Is apt to be no cure at
all, and a chronic development will
come later. I cure you beyond the
possibility of a relapse and In
half the usual time required.
REFLEX AILMENTS.
Often- the condition appearing to
be the chief disorder is only a re
flex ailment resulting from some
other disease. Weakness some
times conies from varicocele ' or
stricture; skin and bone diseases
result from blood poison taint,
and physical and mental decline
follow long-standing functional
disorder. My long experience in
treating men enables me to de
termine the exact condition tho
exist and to treat accordingly, thus
removing every damaging- cause
and its effects.

"SHAKE WELL
BEFORE USING"
Thus reads the label. Do you
know what it means?
It's a pretty good sign that the
medicine contains a deadly poison
which settles at the bottom of the
bottle. One dose would make busi
ness for the undertaker, hence the
warning to mix It up.
Few people realize the danger In
drugs until their health is gone ot
their nerves and vitals wrecked by
poisonous mixtures.
Then you can understand how
useless It is to try to fool nature
with stimulants, narcotics and poisons.
The ostrich hides its head and
thinks he is out of reach of-the hun
ter's rifle. Some people do things
just as ansnru.
You cover up the symptoms of a
disease ana imagine you are cured.
Just as soon as you stop using the
drug the trouble returns worse than
ever.
You have got to remove the cause
before you can cure any ailment.
If you have a splinter In your fin
ger, the only way to get rid of the
pain and inflammation is to get the
splinter out. Of course, you could
take cocaine or morphiMO and re
lieve all the pain for a while, but
that wouldn't remove the cause.
The reason for nearly every chron
ic disease or ailment Is a want of
vitality and energy by some part of
your body machinery.
What is this vitality? Nothing
more than electricity. Then, the
onJy way to restore It Is to restore
electricity to the body.
Electro-Vigor is the best and most
successful de-ice for applying elec
tricity. It Is easily, comfortably
worn while you sleep. All night
long It sends a steady, unbroken
current of electric life coursing
through your nerves and veins, giv
ing new strength, new vim to every
part that is niiing.
"After two months' application of
Electro-Vigor 1 no longer suffer
Irom pains in my back and kidneys;
my food digests properly and all the
symptoms of weakness and varico
cele are cured..
