Akron & Columbus and the Baltimore & Ohio Hailr02d3 out of business. No trains have reached tnte place since Thursday night. All th? repairs made necesary by the riood of last Monday have been washed away. Travel by wagon road from the west has been shut off by the washing away of two bridges near town. THREE BIG RESERVOIRS ARE ALL DANGEROUS CINCINNATI. April 2.-Ohio has three large artificial bodies of water as feeders of the state canals. The Grand reservoir In Mercer and Auglaize counties is the largest artificial body of water on earth. It is ten miles long, with Celina located at the west end and St. Mary's at the east end. It is from two to Ave miles wide and covers about 20,000 acres. In Logan county, near Bellefontaine, i3 the Lewiston reservoir. It is about thirty miles cast of the Grand reservoir, and i3 about half as large as the Grand. The Licking reservoir i3 located near Newark. För over half a century the embankments of these artificial lakes have withstood the pressure of. wind and water," although there bave been previous alarms about them being in a dangerous condition. The Grand reservoir empties into the Wabash and St. Mary's rivers. The eastern cutlet thence reaches the Maumee and the lakes, but the main outlet is into the Wabash, so that the people along the Wabash In Indiana are affected. The most dangerous situation to-night is at the Lewiston river, as that river is already flooding Sidney, Piqua, Troy. Dayton, Miamisburg, Middletown, Hamilton and everything in the Miami valley. Around these reservoirs are parks and all sorts of fishing camps, clubhouses and resorts. Many of them are ruined. The fishing resort of Charles Marshall at St. Mary's crumbled to-day and fell into the reservoir, as did the residence of Henry , Heine. Many others are on the verge of collapse by being undermined. The btate began building the Grand reservoir in 1S37 and completed it in 1S1.". When the water was first turned In It submerged thousands of acres not belonging to the State and the whele militia of the State was called out to prevent neighboring farmers from cutting the banks. Suits for damages around these reservoirs have been pending for fifty years, and additional ones are still brought, although It is necessary for legislative permission to sue the State. Many bills have been introduced in i the Ohio Legislature to dispose of its network of canals and it is announced to-night that a new' bill has been drafted to be Introduced at Columbus next Monday to dispose of the canals to the highest bidders for the different divisions. 'LEWISTON RESERVOIR ALSO IN GREAT PERIL Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BELLEFONTAINK, O., April 2-At 11 o'clock it seems that nothing will prevent a break in Lewiston reservoir before morning. The situation is more alarming than it has been since 1S03, when the last break occurred and the 17,000 acres of water poured out over the farming lands below. Farmers have left their homes in anticipation of the devastation which is imminent, and the patrol has concentrated at the waste weir, where the break is expected. This wooden structure has already settled two feet and water is pouring over it more than two feet deep. Because of the fact that all the land located outside the reservoir in the vicinity of the waste weir is flooded, makes it wellnigh Impossible for . the strengthening of the IcVee. The Miami, Into which all the waters of the reservoir empties, is overflowing its banks, and the waters are so high at .Quin cy, this county, that Riverside Park, a widely-known pleasure resort, is inundated.

All persons residing along the banks of the Miami have been advised to abandon their homes and move to places of safety, and hundreds are doing it. The wind is blowing strongly from the north, which adds to the imminent danger, as the high waters are whipped against the most weakened portions of the levee. PIQUA. O.. April 2. Warning has been received here by telephone thats the west bank of the Lewiston reservoir may break. The residents of East Piqua have been ordered by the police to vacate their homes and go to a place of safety. The Dayton & Troy Electric Railway near here is partly under water.

Tho suburbs of North reru. East Peru and Elmwood, which have been under water for a week, are having worse times again.; The C, C. & L. road has again abandoned trains toward Cincinnati. Its. fine new girder bridge over the Wabash is in bad shape, by reason of the partial destruction of one of the concrete piers. The electric line from Wabash, via Peru, to Logansport is again out of business. Great anxiety is felt here over the report that the Celina reservoir, the source of the Wabash river, is breaking, or in imminent danger of so doing.

Frank Fitton, of New Harmony, said to-night that the loss to the wheat crop alone, In the Wabash bottoms from Mount Carmel down, will reach over $100,000, and the loss to bridges and fences, to say nothing of tho dwellings, also will aggregate this figure. Workmen are still stationed at the Illinois Central bridge at Grayville, but as the river is falling the structure is in much better shape than yesterday and trains pass over it Jn safety. The Grayville water works plant is not yet out of danger and the pressure has been weak all day. The Illinois Central ' track beyond New Harmony is yet under water and a double crew has been working all day placing sacks of sand along the roadbed. Trains entering the city are run on better time and by .Monday should be running on schedule time.

RUIN IN LAKE COUNTY DUE TO" TWO RIVERS Special to the Indianapolis Journal. .HAMMOND, Ind.. April 2. Recent heavy rains have . converted the Kankakee and Calumet streams into rivers that are a mile wide from bank to bank. Both rivers are still rising and have so flooded the country that many narrow escapes from loss of life have taken place. Valuable horses and cattle in the Kankakee grazing marsh have been drowned by the rising waters. People are compelled to go in boats from house to house. The towns along the Kankakee are flooded and some of the smaller houses have been swept away. The countryside is a mass of wreckage and driftwood. Railroads have lost bridees and ballasted roadbeds. In some places passengers are transferred from points on the road where the roadbed is washed away by hand cars. AVagon bridges have been destroyed and stone culverts crossing both the Calumet and Kankakee are out for miles. The damage to this county by water cannot be calculated. Iii Bine niver la Falling.

Value of Booty from Wilson Home Is Said to Be Three Thousand Dollars.

THE POLICE INVESTIGATE One of the largest burglaries, in 'point, of value of the booty, which has occurred in this city in years was successfully accomplished at the home of Me fford B. "Wilson, 1310 North Delaware street, Friday night. The thief entered the house by climbing the porch, and then ransacked two rooms. Every piece of jewelry in these rooms was taken, making a loss of about $3.000. One of the members of the family heard a noise on the porch and went to investigate. As she reached the porch she turned on the electric light and saw a negro running down the street. The police were notified but so far have been unable to catch the guilty party. Detectives Brady and Holtz arrested Anthony Blackburn oa suspicion, and he is held on Jl,XiO bail. MURDERER AGAIN BEHIND THE BARS Beats Wife and Both Are Taken Into Custody by the Police.

Its people were busy in industrial and business pursuits, independent in thought and critical of their public servants, and the searchlight of the public press was ever turned upon the men chosen to positions of public trust. "I take pride in my general constituency," he said, "and I take special pride that I can number among my constituents two of the formesost citizens of the State, Senators Charles W. Fairbanks and Albert J. Beveridge, who stand in the front rank of the statesmen -and legislators of the country. It will be a further source of pride to me if, after the ides of November, the next Governor of this State shall be added to my constituency, your chairman, the Hon. William L. Taylor." Mr. Overstreet recounted the achievements of the Republican party, dwelling upon the part which this State and district have taken in leading such movements as that for sound currency. In conclusion, ha taid: "In this campaign of 1504 we can rest safely on the policies for which we fought in lbl'6. We shall stand upon the record of the Republican party sound money, protection to American labor and American industries and the continuation our foreign policy, the wisdom of which Is borne out by the proud position which the United States holds to-day among the nations of the earth and standing on that platform, under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt, we shall euter the fight with victory already assured.' The delegates and alternates to the. national convention and the presidential elector were chosen by acclamation. John B. Cockrum and Harry S. New were called on for speeches and responded briefly. The eagle was chosen as the emblem for the congressional ticket and the business of the convention was at an end. Before adjournment was taken Chairman Taylor called upon candidates for state offices who were present to make themselves seen and heard. Walter L. Ball, of Muncie, candidate for lieutenant governor, and George W. Self, of Corydon, who wants the nomination for reporter of tho Supreme Court, responded. ROUSING SPEECH OF PERMANENT CHAIRMAN William L. Taylor Happy in His Address Before the District Convention. William L. Taylor, chairman of the convention, spoke as follows on assuming the gavel: "Von Hoist, the great political historiar, says that political parties exist as a means to an end and not as an end in themselves; that the moment a party ceases to have a fixed policy as an end, that moment its excuse for existing ceases. "The Republican party has always existed as a means to an end; it has always had a fixed purpose and has always known Just what that purpose was. It has always been able to state it and it has always had the ability and the courage to transform its principles into positive laws. Those laws have been tried and approved. "The Democratic party formerly was a means to an end. It formerly had purposes and plans. To-day it has neither. It is a leaderless, purposeless mass of six million voters. Never in the history of American politics has a once great, triumphant party been so utterly wanting in leadership and issues as is the Democratic party to-day. It is simply drifting with the tide. Like a ship without her rudder, it will wash upon the rocks this fall. It's only avowed end is to find some landing place. It has elected but one President since 1556 and he has been in exile for eight years. The conspicuous figure who has been at the head for the last eight years is now on his way to St. Helena. You cannot put tho pictures of these two leaders side by side in any Democratic convention without starting a row. The Democratic party to-day is quaking lest the new 'yellow peril,' yellow in journalism and yellow in money, should sweep the Democracy from its feet and secure the presidential nomination at St. Louis. "The Indiana Democracy is violently agitated. It is trembling between hope and fear hope that some full-armed loader will walk out of the wilderness; despair lest Hearst be nominated. IT IS DIFFERENT. "How different with the Republican party. Its platform could be written by any schoolboy. Its leaders are already named by the common consent of S.üüO.Ouu sovereign voters. Every township convention in this country that meets to-day can write a plat form that can safely be adopted at Chicago. Everjr lad swinging his schoolbooks on his back can write the name of our candidate for President upon the fence boards as he passes. Every Republican farmer -as he follows his plow can tell to his passing neighbor the plans cf the Republican party. Every Republican man of toil in the lactones and mines can tell his helper what we believe and what we will do. Every Republican trainman upon the railways of America can signal to his partner which truck the Republican train will take and who will bo at the throttle. The story of the Republican party this year is an open book. "Every principle the Republican party has advocated sinco IW has become a fixed fact in the laws of the country. Every proposition the Democratic party has advocated during tluit time is as dead as the Caesars. It Is a remarkable fact that th? la-st avowed purpose of the Democratic party is the first one it now denies. "The chairman of the Republican stats committee has invited to sit upon the platform at the state convention those men who participated in the Republican state convention of lsS. These venerable patriots can read upon the walls every proposition the Republic-in party has advocated since that first convention. They illumine the story of tho country. They arc written in its laws and firmly fixed in our Constitution. Not a line has been erased or blurred. Those men voted for Fremont and did not regret it. Not one of them bows his head in shame over a single act of commission or omission. They tee the faces of uur

AGREE ONJIAGE SCALE Strike in the Illinois Coal Fields Probably Will Be Averted.

JOINT MEETING TO-DAY SPRINGFIELD, 111., April 2. After being in session eleven days, during which time there were threats of a strike, the. joint scale committee of the coal operators , and miners of Illinois late to-night agreed on a scale, and will report it to the joint convention to-morrow morning, when it will be signed. The principal contest to-night was over the day scale, and after considerable discussion the scale as agreed upon at Indianapolis (5U cents) was adopted. The operators have gained their point on every question brought up, with the exceptions of the Saline county rate, which is left to a special committee, and the Franklin county rate, where the operators withdrew from the coal operators' association. National President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, and Herman Justi, commissioner of the Illinois Coal Operator. ' Association, ia interviews to-night expressed themselves as highly pleased over tha outcome. , Strike of Illinois Miner. SPRINGFIELD, 111., April 2. The coal miners at the Staunton and the Mount Olive mines, a thousand or more in number, went out on strike to-day. Officials of the miners' union now here, say the strike was a result of misapprehension on the part of men, who supposed that there would be a general strike in the State. The men will return to work Monday, it is said. To Patrol Midway Iftlands. WASHINGTON. April 2.

Not a single picture is turned to the wall. From Fremont to Roosevelt we are proud of them all. ., CANNOT BE PROUD. "Howis it with the Democratic party? There will be no men sitting, upon the Democratic platform proud of the fact that they voted for Buchanan. Every line written by that party during those forty-eight years of glorious history has been erased. Every leader has been discredited. The names of but two of the great Democratic leaders in the history of that party can safely be mentioned by a Democratic orator to-day. They are both dead, Jackson and Jefferson. We look hopefully to the future; they look doubtfully at the past. We know what we are going to do and the name of our commander; they do not know what they will do nor who will command them. "We know that we are going to nominate the capable, earnest and energetic Jesse Overstreet for Congress. Some congressmen talk and do not work. Some work and do not talk. Jesse Overstreet both works and talks. "We also know that we are going to elect a Republican Legislature this year and that we are going to re-elect the brilliant and capable junior senator, Albert J. Beveridge. We know that we are going to nominate and elect as a successor to Lincoln, Grajit, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison and McKinley, the intrepid, . honest, brave, fearless and competent leader, Theodore Roosevelt. We know that we are going to stand by the flag wherever she floats, as we have always done. We know that we are going to stand by the boys who wear the blue shirt of the American soldier and whom we have sent with the flag, in whatever sun or clime they now march or sleep. We know that everywhere around this world we will carry the torch of civilization in one hand and the flag in the other, and that wherever we go the blessings of civil liberty and civic righteousness will be conferred." PLATFORM ADOPTED BY THE CONVENTION Hearty Indorsement of Republican Administrations, Na- . tional and State. The resolutions adopted at yesterday's convention by the Republicans of the Seventh district were as follows: "We, the Republicans of the Seventh congressional district of Indiana, reaffirm our belief in and loyalty to the principles of the Republican party heretofore declared in our national and state conventions and subsequently faithfully carried out by wise legislative and executive action. "We heartily indorse and approve the wise and patriotic administration of President Theodore Roosevelt. . We believe that his sterling Integrity and honesty of purpose and the manner in which he has discharged the duties of his high office have been and arc such as to merit the approval of the people of this great Nation. We believe that he thoroughly deserves to be nominated and elected his own successor, and the delegates selected by this convento the national Republican convention are hereby instructed to. cast their votes for Theodore Roosevelt as the Republican nominee for President of the United States at the coming election. "We commend the records of the two United States senators from Indiana, the Hon. Charles V. Fairbanks and the Hon. Albert J. Beverldge. Their conspicuous ability and steadfast adherence to the discharge of their duties reflect credit upon the State of Indiana as well as upon themselves. "We likewise approve and indorse the record of the Indiana Republican delegation in the lower house of N Congress. We believe we have the ablest delegation Indiana-or any other State ever sent to that body, and we are proud to note that conspicuous in this delegation, as well as in the entire membership of the National llcuse of Representative?, is the representative of our own district, the lion. Jesso Overstreet, widely known as one of the most efficient members in Congress.- We heartily approve and Indorse his record and express our sincere appreciation of his unseliish devotion to the interests of the corslittiency he represents. "We congratulate the people of Indiana upon the certain re-election to the United States Senate of our talented junior senator, the Iltn. Albert J. Bevcridge. By the industrious and conscientious discharge of his duties he has earned for himself the conlidence and affection of the people of this State, has reflected honor and credit upon their name and has achieved for himself a place among the foremost leaders of his party and the statesmen of the Nation. It is especially pleasing to this convention, in his home district, to concur In the various Indorsements and expressions of prior conventions in other districts of Indiana, wherein his worth has ht-en recognized, his labors appreciatively noted and his re-election heartily and cordiallv approved. "The Hon. Winfield T. Durbin, Governor of Indiana, is before the American people as a conspicuous representative of law and order, and to him and the other, state tMccrs of Indiana'we extend our praise and commendation for faithful and earnest discharge of their duties. in the interest of tho people of the State. "We invite the attention of the- Republicans of Indiana to the candidacy of the Hon. William L. Taylor for the nomination for Governor of Indiana. Able, courageous and widely experienced in the business affairs of the people of the State, we commend and indorse his candidacy for the office of Governor, and express- our belief that no man in the State Is better quali fied or equipped for the discharge of the. uuues oi ma i nin omce man nc. "In common with all the-Nation we are profoundly grieved by the untimely death of Senator Marcus A. Hanna and offer our mournful tribute to his splendid abilities and to the great heart of this man who gave without stint of his time, his purse and his strength that the people might be better and richer and happier."

We put her in charge of a specialist for treatment. He told us that our only hope of saving her hip and perhaps life, in Addition to his surgical treatment, was to build up her system with good nourishing food to make good rich blood, bone, muscle and fat which in time would cure the disease by absorption. "This sounded easy but proved a difficult case to treat as there were so many foods recommended that did not agree with her or that she did ? not like and therefore would not eat. "For a year and a half she barely held her own until Grape-Nuts was tried, which she liked from the first and in two months gained two pounds in weight where during the eighteen months preceding she had lo.-t weight. "Now notwithstanding she is also Just recovering from a severeattack of the whooping cough which she has had for the laLt three months, she has gained steadily in weight, is growing nicely and her entire recovery is promising and hopeful and we are contident of complete success.

NO ENCOUNTERS WITH CHINESE BANDITS ST. PETERSBURG. April 2. General Levaskoff, director of communications of the general staff, In an Interview, gives interesting facts about the Russian line of communication. lie says: "The transporting of troops over the Siberian and Manchurian railroads worked Without a hitch, except for a six hours stoppage caused by a collision. Men, guns, mmunltion, equipment and provisions have gone forward with clock regularity. The sketches of scenes along the route appearing in English newspapers are ludicrous. The pictures of encounters with Chinese bandits along the route, with broken rails, tangles of telegraph wires, prostrate poles and Cossacks galloping with what look like miniature searchlights, all belong to the realm of fancy. I do not know of a single Interruption due to Chinese bandits. The protection of the line Is assured by more practical, though perhaps less poetic, means than depicted in the illustrated papers. For example, take the case of armored trains. We discussed the subJect and decided against them. The conditions did not call for them. The line runs through territory held by our troops. There may be a few robber bands, but there are no Japanese, at least at present. The oniy things of the kind Introduced are armored cabs for the engine drivers, to protect them from stray bullets. There will be no difficulty over the impending stoppage of the ice railroad across Lake Baikal. The lake generally is free from ice about the middle of May, but long before that time the ice breakers will have opened a channel and the ferries will be running regularly. "Now that the Ice railroad has accomplished its-mission I will tell you the secret of its origin. It never was intended to convey men, but only rolling stock, enpines and rajls for. the Manchurian line. This it successfully accomplished." KIM KA JIN IS MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS SEOUL, April 2. Kim Ka Jin has been appointed Korean minister of foreign affairs, following Pak Che Sun in this office. Pak Che Sun was until recently Korean minister to China. Before the office of foreign minister was given to Kim Ka Jin it was declined by Pak Che Sun, who said he did not wish to officiate. Kim Ka Jin is a very prominent man In Korea and has In the past been head of several ministerial departments., He was a member of the Progressive party in 1RS4. He was until very recently chief of the Privy Council, but he has not enjoyed high favor because of his progressive principles. THINKS HE CAN FLY ABOVE A WAR VESSEL PARIS, April 2. Lieutenant Schrocber passed through Paris yesterday, bound for Port Arthur with an apparatus consistinfe of a car suspended from several kites, which he says will enable him to fly above a warship to the mast of which he will be attached by a light cable containing a telegrnph wire. By means of this apparatus, he thinks he will be enabled to take observations at a great distance and convey the resultant Information to the ship. DECLARATION BY THE JAPANESE DIET WASHINGTON. April 2.-The Japaneso minister has received a tele-gram from Tokio announcing that just before the adjournment of the Diet the House of Representatives passed the following resolution: "The imperial declaration of war against Russia, enunciating Oust and honorable principles, shows thathls Majesty has been actuated solely by a desire to preserve the peace of the Orient, and every subject of his Majesty fchould exert himself to the utmost to obey the imperial will. This House, moved by the same -sense of patriotic devotion that is felt by the whole nation, has provided the revenues desired by the government, so that there may be no deficiency In the funds for prosecuting the war and following up the sreat successes already attained by our navy.

Commonly, the first synptorn of a "cold" is a chillv feeling, accompanied by sner. in- or a ticklin? in the throat. The most frequent of external cause are draczaU, wet or cold fe?t. or going: from hot rotyrsa suddenly into cold ones. More frequcTty there is an inner cause namely the natation of the blood cnuscd br constipation or biliousness. Almost the first symptom U the fcel:r.?cf cold in the feet and mcrc-sea discharge from the nose. ... . No one ever takes cold nnles constipated, or exhausted, and havinz what we call mal-r.utrition, which i attended with impoverished blood and exhaustion of nerve fore?. Tonics consisting of large portion ( of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring: ' the desired charges in the blood, because they do not enter the fjstem and are not absorbed into the blood, w ith the exception of the alcohol, which shrivels, up the red blood corpuscles when it docs come in contact with them. We recommend the botanical extract of Dr. Tierce because it contains no alcohol, and offers a reasonable and scientific method of treating the blood, bv improving: the nutritive functions of the patient. The "Golden Medical Discovery accomplishes this, by firrt restoring the enfeebled digestive organs, so that food, the natural tissue, builder, will beidiestcd and assimilated. f Accept no substitute for Dr. Pierce y Golden Medical Discovery.
