Special to The Post-Dispatch. SEDALIA, Deo. 27. Latest reports from Warsaw and the Osage Valley Indicate that the flood Is receding. It will be sometime before the waters have retired completely to their accustomed courses.

Only the roofs of the highest houses can be seen in Tuscumbla. At Bagrnell the Osage is still three miles wide and no train has been able to get within a mile and a half of the town for several days. Warsaw will not soon forget the high water which blighted the Christmastide of 1895. The Osage River, swollen by unheard of rains In the extensive territory through which it winds its way toward the Mis-Eouri, became a-vast inland sea. For days the town has been not tinlike Mount Ararat when the waters of the deluge subsided a little bit.

Even now if a dove were given wing by some Noah, it would get small pickings from dry land In the bottoms in this vicinity. The laws of nature decree that Warsaw and the adjacent districts should bear the brunt of the disaster, and although the tide is slowly receding toward the usual channel The Bridge of the stream, the damage done Is beyond estimate. The accompanying picture, reproduced from a photograph, gives an Idea of Warsaw's water-logged condition. The big bridge that spanned the Osage at that point and is the highway to the country south of the river. Is slightly more than a memory, for only a part of the south approach Is above water.

The north approach has sunk from view. About twenty-five houses in the southern' part of the town have been Inundated. They are carpeted and surrounded by water from three to fourteen feet deep. The owners and tenants have sought shelter with more fortunate friends. In the neighboring bottom lands crops of Blase I souri and Mississippi banks and of the Gulf Coast.

Cosey homes, cheered by the approach of mo iiuimays, ana meir tenants, nappy in fancied security, have not escaped the torrent, for not a few lives were lost and dwellings wrecked. Much of the property lost In the country further up has floated past Warsaw. Amidst the wreckage was seen a rick of hay with a sheep on top of it. Communication with the adjacent country by wire, railroad and highway has been cut off for days, and some details of the flood are just being received. These reports confirm and even magnify the rumors which have been current.

It is impossible to get news- from the country south of the Osage, as navigation by ferry cannot be attempted. The Sedalia, Warsaw Southwestern Railroad is a heavy sufferer. Cars and merchandise in transit have been lost and for long distances the track has been washed away. For a week no freight has been received at Warsaw. The road's Warsaw depot has Seen lapped by the greedy current and, to prevent it from becoming a piece of wreckage on the breast of the river, it was anchored to posts and made fast by means, of ropes.

Following are a few of the events of the flood reported from Warsaw: C. Antreitlh had forty 3-year-old head of cattle on the islands above the suspension bridge. With great difficulty and at personal peril he got them to high ground. J. B.

Davis Bro. lost $3,500 In corn, wheat and cord-wood, carried off by the water. Henry Keller had $1,000 worth of lumber washed away from. his sawmill. Wm.

Christy's dwelling, barns and household effects were swamped by the current. John Cairns lost all his grain and nine hogs. Harry Bacon's livery stable and feed store were swept away. Jerry Savage lost 200 tons of hay. Zeb Lapp rescued eleven hogs from an island at much risk to himself by moving them in a skiff one by one to high land.

One of his porkers was drowned. The new suspension bridge, built by Dr. Eddy of Stockton, stands the strain well. The bridge is 63 feet above the low water mark, but at present it is only 20 feet from the surface of the river. At Fairfield Suitor's store was flooded by water 3 feet deep.

at Warsaw (Looking North Business along the Osage is badly crippled and manv families will be in want. Mayor Hastain of Sedalia has begun the organization of a system of relief for the sufferers from the Osage flood at Linn Creek. He will apnoint a committee to solicit funds and provisions and he hopes to forward a carload of food and clothing In a few days. "Woman Drops Dead. Special to Tho Post-Dispatch.

A. J. A. McGinnis was before United States Commissioner Gray Friday charged with an infraction of the postal laws. Mc-Ginnis Is about 23 years old, and this is his first experience with the law.

An Old-Timer- Cured After TJslnsr bacco Twenty-Three Tears He Gains Twenty Pound in Thirty Days.

To- LAKE GENEVA, Wis. Dec. 27. Special. The ladies of our beautiful little town are making an interesting and exciting lime for tobacco-using husbands, since the injurious effects of tobacco and the ease with which it can be cured by No-To-Bac have been so plainly demonstrated by the cure of Mr.

F. C. Waite. -In a written statement he says: "I smoked and chewed tobacco for twenty-three years, and I am sure that my case was one of the worst in this part of the country. Even after I went to bed at night, if I woke up I would want to chew or smoke.

It was not onlv killine me, but my wife was also ailing from the injurious effects. Two boxes of No-To-Bac cured me, and I have no more desire for tobacco than have to Jump out of the window. 1 have gained twenty pounds in thirty days, my wife is well, and we are Indeed both happy to say thafNo-To-Bac is truly worth its 'weight in gold' to us. The cure and improvement in Mr. Waite's case is looked upon as a "miracle in fact.

New York and Chicago, authorize every druggist in America to abso-iti guarantee the use of three boxes to cure or refund the money, and the cost is so trifling, as compared with the expensive and umecessary use of tobacco, that tobacco-using husbands have no good excuse to offer when their wives insist upon their taking -Tn-Bae and eettine results in the way ot nure. sweet breath, wonderful improvement in their mental and physical condition, with nractical revitaflzation of their nicotinized No-To-Bac not only cures the tobacco habit but restores vitality and nerve vigor. It is indeed a miracle worker for weak men, and the public is warned against having Imitations palmed off on them, as trie great success of No-To-Bac- has brought out a bost of counterfeits.
