C.uuo, 111., April 9. The streets of
Cairo are flooded. The heavy rains of
the lust two hours hiwe raised the seep
water until it first filled the gutters and
the down-town business streets, then
overflowed the sidewalks and finally
covered the floors of several business
houses, and is still rising.
For the last six or seven weeks the
stores have been closed on account of
high water. The water covers the side
walks on both sides of Eighth street,
lower Commercial and Washington
avenues. The pavement all around the
custom-house is several inches deep in
water. The Cairo electric street-railway
tracks are under water on Walnut
street. The city baa purchased a power
ful pump to drain the town. It has a
capacity of 1,000,000 gallons an hour.
It arrived yesterday, but cannot bo set
running for several days. Until then,
no relief can be obtained, as the river
wuet fall eight feet bofore the sewers
can bo opened.

Washington, April 9. The people of
the submerged district of the Red river
of the North have declined the govern
ment aid voted them by congress on
Wednesday.
When the flood came in the Red
river quarter, a million dollars' worth of
Property was destroyed at Fargo, N. D.,
and fifty miles 0f fertjle territory lnun
tated. An appeal was made to congress
1 'rough the mayor of Fargo. Yesterday
the prospects all along the Red river of
f North wore brighter, and this morn.
jnB Representative Johnson received
tlio following tolegraiu from the mavor
of Fargo:
'Havo declined aid from congress.
IMver Falling at J'ierre, S. D.
Pieuhe, S. D., April 9. The river
reached the highest stage here last even
ing, about twelve feet. It has fallen
about six inches, with very little ice
running, this morning. The city re
ceived its first mail for twelve days by
hand car from the Medicine Creek wash
out. Still IUsInc at VicUHhurt'.
Vicksuukg, Miss., April 9. By noon
today the river will reach the fifty-foot

as heard from. The rise increases three
tenths of a foot in twenty-four hours.
Flood In South Dakota.
St. Paul, April 9 A Mellen, (S. D.)
special says : The surrounding country
is flooded, railroads washed out and
there have been no mails for two weeks.
The James river haB risen seven foet
higher than ever before, and is a mile
wide. It has washed out three large
iron bridges in the country. Large
numbers of livestock have perished. All
the farm dwellings on the river bottoms
have been swept away.
Greenville Is Isolated.
Jackson, Miss., April 9. At 10:30 a.
m. today all wire communication with
Greenville, Miss., is lost. This fact may
be significant. The city for days has
been seriously threatened by the Missis
sippi's flood. Startling rumors are cur
rent here.
Another Rise at St. Louis.
St. Louis, April 9. Nearly one and
one-half inches of rain fell here yester
day, and as a result rivers in this section
have riBen. The Missouri bIiows an ad
vance of a sixth of a foot at Booneville,
while here the Mississippi rose five
inches to 27.8 or 1.2 feet under the
danger line.
Mrs. A. Inveen, residing at 720 Henry

time, using various remedies recom
mended by friends, and was treated by
the physicians, but received no relief.
Sho then used one and a half bottles of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which affect
ed a complete cure. This is published
at her request, as she wants others simi
larly ofllicted to know what cured her.

Greek Brigands Have Encased Turkish
Troops In Kratila.
Elassona, Macedonia, April 9.-Noon-Bands
of Greek brigands have entered
Turkey at Krania in the vicinity of Gro
bina. Turkish troops have been en
gaged with them and fighting has been
proceeding since 5 o'clock tliiB morning.
At Turkish headquarters the news is
looked upon as of the gravest descrip
tion in view of the excitement here.
Edhem Pasha has sent orders to have
everything in readiness for an advance
of the Turkish army in force.
Elahsoxa, April 9.-4 p. m. A dis
patch received at Turkish headquarters
here from Grovena says the fighting be
tween Greeks and Turks continues. The
Turks, following out the instructions of
Edhem Pasha, have surrounded the
Greek irregulars and the greater part of
the Turkish division stationed at Gro
vena is now advancing. It is impossible
to distinguish whether the invaders are
supported by any substantial portion of
the Greek regular army, but the corres
pondent of the Associated Press is in
formed the moment the Turkish officers
ascertain the presence of uniforms of
Greek regulars in the ranks of the ag
gressors, Edhem Pasha will order an
advance of the entire Turkish army.
The situation is most serious.

Turks Are Fast Losing Faith in the
I'owers.
Constantinople, April 9. Warlike
preparations throughout the Turkish
empire continue to be steadily pressed,
although there is not much change in
the Eastern situation. A very pessi
mistic feeling prevails here at the failui
of the powers' attempts to coerce Greece.
A blockade of the Piraeus seems as far
off as evor, and the war party is bring
ing pressure to bear on the government,
I with the result that the porte has des
I patched circulars to its representatives
abroad, setting forth that the Turks ure
growing impatient at the prolongation
! of the crisis, which is pressing heavily
upon the embarrassed exchequer. The
belief prevails here that the powers are
losing their hold over the course of
events, and that their so-called concert
is a tailure. A new clanger lias arisen,
through thecirculation in Constantinople
and the provinces of a pamphlet recit
ing alleged Christian atrocities on Mus
sulmans in Crete and elsewhere. This
has so inflamed the Turks against the
Greeks that the Grecian minister has
drawn the attention of the porte to the
matter. The government has taken
steps necessary to prevent outbreaks up
on the part of the populace.

Editor Morrison of Worthington, Ind.,
"Sun," writes: "You haye a valuable
prescription in Electric Bitters, and I
can cheerfully recommend it for Consti
pation and Sick Headache, and as a gen
eral system tonic it haB no equal." Mrs.

nor digest food, had a backache which
never left her and felt tired and weary,
but six bottles of Electric Bitters re
stored tier health and renewed strength.
