FLOODS IN ILLINOISj
Waters Show NTo Signs ofj
Abatement as Yet.
STILL HIGHER WATER EXPECTED
Weather Itureau Warns IVople to Pre
pure for It--Suiipnslou of Tratllr,
Threatened.
Vikgixi.v. Ill , March 26. Tho Sanga
mon and Illinois rivers continue to
rise, having risen two or three inches
daily for the past two weeks. The high
water marks of former years are passed
and the situation grows alarming.
Many families have vacated their homes
on the lowlands, going to the bluff's for
safety. Tne Illinois is still below the
high water mark six inches.
The mayor of Beardstown has called a
meeting to devise some way and means
to protect the Beardstown-Frederick
road, which is now threatened with de
struction. Further Kise To Come.
Qfi.scY, 111., March 26. The Mississip
pi river here registers 13 feet 5 inches in
24 hours. The lowlands.are submerged,
and many farmers can not get into the
city. The government weather bureau
has sent out warning that tho river will
be 14 feet by Saturday,
So far the water has offered the rail
road no interference, but it is probable
that it will in a few days. The track of
the St. Louis, Keokuk, & Northwestern,
between here and Keokuk, is being rais
ed in low places. The officials say the
track will stand a rise of eighteen inches
more before their trains will have to be
taken off.
The Flood at Metropolis.
Metkoi'OMs, 111., March 26. This city
preiented a sorry appearance today in
consequence of the flood. The river is a
vast sea. There are not to -exceed 25
dwelling-houses along the Jriver front
where the occupants have not been driv
en out by the waters. Fences and out
houses are all gone. The Southern hotel
and a dozen other houses are wrecks.
The overflow extends from Fillmore
street to Belmont bayou, on Calhoun
street, from Second street to Ferry,
where the water spreads to Market.
Then it goes farther until it reaches
Third street.
KNOCKS AT OUK DOOR.
Hawaii Wants to Be Annexed to the
United StateH.
Washington-, March 26. It is Baid
mat torma! application for annexation
to the United States probably will be
made soon by the government of Hawaii
throught its minister to the Uuited
States. The application will be present
ed to the state denartement, and it is
expected will be transmitted to congress.
Ex-Minister Thurston, Attorney-General
Smith and General Hanwell, of
New York, have been here since the in
auguration in the interests of annexa
tion. Mr. Hatch, the Hawaiian min
ister, mid Mr. Smith saw the president
yesterday, and he listened attentively to
the arguments they had to present.
Messers. Hatch and Smith also have
en Secretary Sherman in regard to the
question of annexation, and presented
to hitn arguments in its favor. They
decline to discuss the attitude of the
president or hie premier on the subject,
except to say the situation is encourag
ing. Everything, said Minister Hatch,
is as yet in a tentative shape, and noth
'bg formal has been done.
Attorney. General Smith, who has
wen in the city several weeks, will start
next week on his return to the island.
FitlGHTKNfiD TO DEATH.
The Strange Caxe of a Youug Woman lu
Chicago.
Ooicaoo, March 26. Elizabeth Paul
wni aged 18 years, is dead from the ef-
ects of fright. Such is the opinion of
the attending physician, and the coroner
found after listoning to his testimony
no that of the family. Miss Paulson
was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter
aulson, respected German people. She
was a comely young woman, and was the
Peclal care ot her parents, although
nere wore other sohh and daughters in
l"eir household.

younger siEter, Thora, were alone with
their mother. When the two girls went
to their rooms to retire they took no can
dle with them, for their chamber was
but a step from the living rooms.
Thora found occasion to go back to the
other part of the house and left her sis
ter alone for a moment. An instant
later a frightful scream came from the
room and Elizabeth rushed out, calling
i piteously for help. Mrs. Paulson came
j to her assistance, but it was some time
before the girl could speak plainly
enough for her mother to understand the
cause of her sudden terror. At length
she was able to say there was a strange
man in her room. To everybody's sur
prise, however, nothing was found that
approached the likeness of a man more
nearly than a woman's cloak and hat
which hung on the wall in a position
where the light from a neighboring gas
lamp cast a strange shadow about it.
All efforts to calm the girl proved fu
tile. She seemed to be in a constant
condition of terror. Symptoms of epi
lepsy developed, the periods of uncon
sciousness grew more protracted, and
yesterday she died. Mr. Paulson, the
father, said. "I have no donbt they are
right in saying she was scared to death."
If asked the question ' 'Have you got a
stomach?" it would be safe on general
principles, to answer "Yes." But, if
you are sure of it, that is, if you ever
feel any distress after eating or any
pains of whatever description in the
region of the stomach, you have got
something else besides an ordinary
stomach ; in other words you have got a
diseased stomach. The stomach is a
powerful muscle, and the proper remedy
for a tired muecle is rest. Try the Shak
er Digestive Cordial, for this product
not only contains digested food, which
will nourish the system without any
work on the part of the diseased organs,
but it aids the digestion ot other foods
as well. You can test its value in your
case for the trifling sum of 10 cents.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proyen catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is tho
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in dnses from ten
drops to a teasnoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testmonials. Address,
