When one hears a Bermon he is none the wiser the preacher can tell you nothing you did not already know, that is, if you are blessed with a spark of common sense.

About the year 1833, a man by the name of Smart, a native of North Carolina, settled near this place. He claimed to be a doctor, although his knowledge of medicine was not extensive. He had purchased a book at an auction, entitled "McKinBey's Ten Thousands Recipes," A young lady in the neighborhood met with an accident. The doctors said her arm must be amputated Smart cured her with one of his recipes. He also cured Beveral other persons whom the regulars had given up. From that time he became famous. The word went out over the county that Dr. Smart could make the deaf hear, the lame walk and the blind see. Some even believed he could raise the dead. Our citizens built him a home and an office and Bet him up in business. He was in great demand, his carriage running night and day. He soon became well off, and purchased a library anil commenced studying medicine. This town was named in his honor.

'THE ROOKY MOUNTAIN LIMITED" AND "THE BIG FIVE."

TWO GBAHD TRAINS DAILY BETWEEN THE WORLD'S FAIE CITY AND THE FOOTHILLS.

The popularity of "The Great Rock Island Route" as a Colorado line—it having long time since taken first place as the people's favorite between the Lakes and the mountains—has compelled the management to increase itB present splendid service by the addition of a train that is one night on the road from Chicago to Denver, Colorado Springs or Pueblo. This train will be known as the "Rocky Mountain Limited," and will bo put in service May first. Leaves Chicago daily at lOriD a. m., arriving at above cities in the afternoon of the next day, earlier than any of its competitors. Especial equipment has been built for this train, with the view of making it a Limited in every sense of the word, and best of all, there will be no extra charge. The route of this exceedingly fast train is by the Rock Island Short Line, and a few of the large cities through which it passes, are Davenport, Des Moines, Council Bluffs, Omaha, Lincoln, Beatrice, Fairbury, Belleville, Philipsburg, Smith Centre, Colby and Goodland. This makes it a most desirable route and particularly interesting to the traveler. Another point: the popularity of our dining-car service is still on the increase, and no money spared to make this service what our patrons always say "the best."

Our "Big 5" will continue as usual, leaving Chicago at 10 p. m., and arriving at Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo the second morning, being but one day out, and this fast and popular train goes through Omaha.

Our No. 11 will leave as heretofore at p. m., arrive at Kansas City at 0:00 a. m„ and will reach Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo the second morning.

Our Colorado Borvice iB made perfect by this now "Rocky Mountain Limited" and the "Big 5." and gives to the traveling public Two Flyers Daily.

Manitou paasongors should consult the map and time tables of our line, to fully appreciate the advantages in time saved by taking this route, when on thcirsummer vacation. JOHN SKIJAHTION, rim, tf. O. T. & P. A., Chicago.

HAJUEILLBS, 111., May 4.—From appoarances a miracle only can save Marseilles from threatened inundation. The almost unceasing rainstorms that have raged up and down the Illinois, Fox and Kankakee valleys since Sunday night have precipitated upoa this large area thousands upon thousands of tons of water in excess of any heretofore encountered flood. The rivers have been rapidly rising since Monday and the Illinois from far above Marseilles to the navigable waters below La Salle is nearly a mile wide and deep enough in the channel to float the largest lake vessels. The waters have already risen some 18 feet above low water mark, and in this city the situation is desperate.

The Levee May Break.

Along levee on the north side of the river and also above the dam has for years kept back the waters of the spring floods. Tuesday the new flood gates of the water power system went out, and water began flowing over the levee. Nearly 500 men, employed in the factories below, which would receive the heaviest part of the flood were the levee to break were put to work on the embankment with shovels and teams and succeeded in fighting back the waters by driving piles and placing 2 feet of earth upon the top. Though the men are still at work the waters are slowly gaining upon them and are already creoping over the eastern end of the levee, which may break at any moment. Should the levee break some fifty families, who have already moved to the high lands beyond the canal, would be rendered destitute, and all the district between the canal and the river would be buried under 15 feet of water.

What It Would Mean.

The breaking of the levee may mean the sweeeping away of nearly every manufacturing institution in the city, including the Illinois Valley paper mill, the largest in the world the Marseilles Manufacturing Company's works, the John F. Clark mills, the Dawell flouring mills and many new industries in whioh millions are invested.

Damage Klsmvlicre.

Besides the damage done hero, miles upon miles of valuable crops put in upon the Illinois bottoms for 20 miles on either side of Ottawa are under water, involving a loss of 550,000 to farmers. Tho Kickapoo and other bridges have pone out and Allen Park, Ottawa and all of the lower islands are flooded.

MOBRIS, 111., May 4.—Buildings,farms and factories along tbe Illinois river banks hare been abandoned. The river has been rapidly rising and has now reaohed a height that it has but once before attained. Driftwood, fences, farming utensils and debris of all kinds are rushing out with the flood. Thousands of acres of fanning lands are 6wept bare of all improvements. Bouses along the river banlcB are flooded and their occupants are moving out. The river has expanded to a stream as broad as the Mississippi, and It is already 10 feet above low water mark. The floods from the Dosplaines and Kankakee rivers are helping Bwell the flood.

111., May 4.—The rain

has been falling in torrents every hour since Sunday evening, one thunderstorm following another. The water courses are all full, and the flood has spread over the larger portion of the town. Tuesday morning the entire north end of the village was one lake, full of floating culverts ancl sidewalks, which were being used by the inhabitants in many cases to get from their houses to dry grounds. The miners did not go into the shafts owing to tbe great amount of surface water which covered the mine. The reports from Gardner, Braid wood and Coal City are all to the effect that the towns are full of water, and in many oases the flood has entered the dwelling houses.
