PITTSBURG, Pa., Feb. lS.-The annual
flood of the five rivers and many small
streams In this city and vicinity Is in pro
gress today, with the resultant sufferings,
business suspension and heavy monetary
damage. ,
At noon the danger mark, twenty-two
feet, was passed, and by late onlght or
early Sunday morning a stage of thity
feet Is expected.
Rain continues to fall throughout Western
Pennsylvania today and little creeks and
runs are on the rampage. The prediction
of snow and colder weather is made tor to
night, but sccordlng to the United States
weather officials the flood situation will
not be affected.
Conditions here and In the surrounding
territory are rapidly becoming serious.
Thousands of families have been compelled
to ' move to the"" second floors of their
homes; trolley lines In some sections ore
out of commission; several railroad lints
have been abandoned In part; cellars ore
filled with water; pavements in the lower
portion of the city have collapsed; several
tow boats and barges have sunk; telegraph
communication Interrupted; thousands of
men thrown out of employment In the
mines and manufacturing plants along the
banks at Bprlngdale, near here, and two
valuable government dams In danger of
demolition from heavy ice gorges.
As the water rises the sertous proportion
of the flood increases and- it is expected
that a majority of the steel and cotton
mills will be forced to suspend operations.
The men have only recently resumed work
after weeks of idleness end a great hard
ship to many families will result.
At points below Pittsburg the floxl is
gradually getting worse and a stage of
from forty to forty-three feet of water la
predicted for Stuebenville, O., by tomorrow
night.
Damage to river craft and property lo
cated near the river is heavy. Borne alarm
Is felt for a- number of bridges.
At Wheeling, W. Va., and Bteubenvllle,
O., a serious flood Is expected to occur by

reached by Monday morning or sooner.
At points high water has risen to the doors

submerged today and will be a total loss.
Colder weather is expected today. The
stage of the river at this city, it is pre
dicted, will bring the water upon Penn
sylvania in the downtown district. This
will bo sufficient to cripple several theaters
and cause a suspension in stores and manu
facturing plants.
Flood stages are reported from all points
above here. At Franklin, Pa., the flood Is
several feet above tho danger point and
rising. ' The Allegheny Is filled with float
ing ice and a' large gorge, several miles

to close down the steel and iron mills.
Thousands of workmen will be affected.
Many coal mines along the river bank are
flooded and thousands of coal miners com
pelled to abandon .their work. In Alle

sxorrED SHORT
Taking Tonics, and Built Up on
Bight rood.
The mistake is frequently made of try
ing to build up a worn-out nervous sys
tem on so-called tonics drugs.
New material frem which to rebuild
wasted nerve cells. Is what should be
supplied, and this can be obtained only
from nrooer food. .
"Two years ago I found myself on the
verge of a complete nervous collapse, due
to overwork and study, and to illness
In tho family," writes a Wisconsin young
mother.
"My friends became alarmed because
I grew pale and thin and could not sleep
nlght&J took various tonics prescribed by
physicians, but their effects wore off short
ly after I stopped taking them. My food
did not seem to nourish me and I gained
no flesh nor blood. x.
Reading ot Grape-Nuts I determined to
stop the tonics and . see what a change
of diet would do. I ate Grape-Nuts four
times a day with cream and drink milk
also, went to bed early after eating a
dish of Grape-Nuts before retiring.
"In about two weeks I was sleeping
soundly. In a short time gained 20 lbs.
In weight and f fit like a different woman.
My little daughter whom I was obliged
to keep out ot school last spring on ac
count of chronic catarrh, has changed from
a thin, pale, nervous child to a rosy,
healthy gtrl and has gone back to school
this fall. .
"Grape-Nuts and fresh air were the only
agents used to accomplish the happy re
sults." "There's a reason."

CAN RING DO WRONG?
(Continued from First Page.)
there Is no external trade worth talking
about. We export a certain amount of
barley and a certain amount of rattlu and
poultry, but we do not seem to get any
thing back in exchange for them. No
country can live on a one-sided al tempt St
trading of this kind. Now, what this coun
try should try to do, if It wants to live, is
to encourage a return trade from other
countries. There is no reason why this

Talks about the
National Corn Exposition
.. i ..
Why a "corn exposition" Is held
Every farmer, and most people who are not
farmers, realize the great work, that has been done
In Improving Uto stock the vast difference bo
tween the long-horned, lean-shanked Texas steer and
the sleek, blocky Shorthorn. The great live stock
shows have had more Influence than any one thing
' In educating the stockman, to tho value of Improv
' ing his live stock.
The scientific Improvement of grain Is something
more recent. Much progress has been made, but the
work has hardly more than begun.
The difference between a scrub ear of corn and
the Improved tyre, Is quite as marked as between the
long-horned steer and the prUe-wlnnlng Shorthorn.
The Improvement of cattle and hogs means more
and better meat at the same cost for feed more
profit for the farmer. The Improvement of cereals,
means more and better grain, at the same cost ot
planting, cultivating, and harvesting more profit for
the farmer. x
If the farmer ran make an Increased profit of
$2.00 on each acre of corn, his farm will easily sell
for 110.00 more per acre.
A 5-biihtiel per acre increase In the
yield of corn In Nebraska and Iowa
alone, would add $30,000,000.00 to the
Income cf these two states each year.
The JS'uNonuJ Corn Exposition will d:monttrate how
this can be done in a praclioal and effective tcuy.
Is it worth while?
This Is the first of a series of advertisements, whlon
will be published, giving information regarding what the
National Corn Exposition Is, and what it means to you and
the whole United States.

trial on the charge of digging up tho bones
of unknown dead In the cemetery. Judge
Soars Saturday morning overruled the de
murrer filed by Callahan's attorneys and

the Information because It did not state the

the name was unknown. Mr. Glller con
tended It would be necessary for the state
to show Callahan did not have the con
sent of relatives of the deceased person.
Unless the Identity of the body were known

state to show this. Judge Sears held it was
sufficient to show the identity of the body
was, unknown.

ROADS ESCAPE HEAVY TAXES
Need Not Pay Where They Hold Nt
Record Titles.
SUCH IS RULING OF 0. A. MAGNE1
Vast Amount of Ileal Estate Will F.s
rape Taxation If Deputy County
Attorney Is Correct la
Judgment.
Railroads In Omaha will escape payment
of taxes amounting. It Is estimated, tu
thousands of dollars, on streets and alleys
which have been vacated to their uso for
which they do not hol3 record titles. t
Deputy County Attorney Magncy has
given an oajnlon to County Assessor Bhrlver
whiclr. In" effect says the railroads rannot
be legally held for taxea on these streets
and alleys unless they hold title under the
records of the register of deWds office, even
though the roads are using the property
dally for railroad purposes. Bomo of the
streets and alleys vacated to the railroads
constitute the most valuable real estate In
the city. But If tho-opinion of Mr. Magney
Is correct no taxes can be legally collected
on It. ,
The effect of this opinion will bo to ex
clude a large amount of real estate In act
ual US9 both as right-of-way and for buHd
Ing sites from taxation. The Rurllngton
depot stnnds on Mason street between
Ninth and Tenth streets. The enclosure
around the Union Pacific shops Includes
about fifty blocks. All tho streets and
alleys In this area are used by the rail
road but taxes cannot bo leled on them.
In another Instance out of a strip of right-of-way,
!it feet long and 1C0 feet wide, only
155 square feet can be taxed because tho
remainder is on a street Qiat was vacated
to- the railroad.
The exemption of these tracts from taxa
tion, however, does not exclude tho build
ings that stand on them. The structures
are listed separately and will be assessed
as personal property, ,
County Assessor Shriver and his office
force ars now making up the books for the
assessment of railroad terminals. A vast
amount of work Is required in doing this
because It has never been done before and
the records must all be made up from the
raw material. So far the railroads havs
shown a disposition to help out and somo
of them havs furnished blue prints of their
property.
