Marion, March 15. After a trial lasting six days, a jury has failed to return a verdict as to the sanity of Mrs. E. M.

Boaz, of this place. She is one of the wealthiest and best-known Women of the county. The charge of insanity was made, by her husband, John D. Boaz. They had lived in a state of unhappiness for several months, and the husband claimed that the trouble was on her account, and grew out of a diseased condition of her mind.

She and her friends bitterly denied the charge, and made counter charges. The trial was one of the most sensational ever known. Eight lawyers were engaged, and two days were consumed in arguments. During the whole trial the court-house was packed with people. Fatal Knifing.

Bowling Green, March 15. In the Three Forks neighborhood John Finney died of a knife wound inflicted by a playmate named Howell in a petty quarrel. MARVELOUS RESULTS. From a letter written by Rev. J.

Gunderman, of Dimondale, we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation In recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and It seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr.

The musky odor is still perceptible. A distinction without a difference amounts to nothing. There is difference; a real difference a vast difference between -Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar Honey and any other cough, cold or lung remedy. To see it or taste it proves this immediately, but the greatest difference is to be found in the results coming from its use.

It fortifies the system against cold from the use of which no evil after effects can arise. Sold by Mullen Haynes Co. and Smith Bates.

THE MISSISSIPPI SWELLING AS NEVER BEFORE. People Driven From Their Homes and A p. palling Scenes of Distress and Disaster on Every Side St. Francis Levee Broken and Much Country Under Water.

Memphis, Mar. 15. The Mississippi river continues to rise, and the situation in the lowlands of Arkansas, opposite this city, is very serious. Today the river stands at 46.8 feet, a rise of seven-tenths since last night. This is the highest record since the establishment of the weather office here in 1872, and since the sinking of the lowlands in Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee by the earthquake many years ago.

The government gauge today recorded 36.3 feet above the low water mark, but owing to a change in the guage system since the previous high waters this would read on the old gauge 37.2 feet. The high-water mark on the old guage was 36.6 feet, made in the flood of 1890. The rise during yesterday was slightly more than half a foot, and the indications are that the big stream will continue to rise slowly during the next twenty-four hours. On all of the islands near the city and on the lowlands of Arkansas there is great suffering among the people, and there is a great loss of stock and property, but no authentic reports have been received of persons being drowned. People are leaving the lowlands for this side of the river as fast as they can do so, and are bringing with them all of the stock and property movable under the prevailing conditions'.

Today the Little Rock and Memphis railroad managed to get its morning train into the city, but made no attempt to move the freight trains. Arrangements have been completed by which it will use the tracks of the Iron Mountain company for its trains tomorrow. The Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis brought trains into the city until last midnight over its line, but later washouts between here and Gilmore caused it to abandon the line and use that of the Iron Mountain between here and Nettleton. The latter road is still a few inches above water, but a slight additional rise will stop all traffic from the Arkansas side. Several of the small levees or rather private dikes around towns and plantations have broken, but so far as heard from there have been.no breaks in the main levee systems, either to the north or south.

All of these are being closely watched night and day. Several steamers, literally packed with people, made excursions yesterday from this city to the overflowed regions In Arkansas. At Marion, where a break in the dike occurred Friday night, a scene of desolation exists. The little town is four or five feet under water, many houses and cabins have been washed away, and the inhabitants have sought shelter elsewhere. Hundreds of horses and cattle have been destroyed by the resistless waters, and today 400 swine, corralled on a small strip of ground near Marion, were swept away.

At Osceola grave apprehension is felt and today every man and boy in the neighborhood went to work with a will building an additional levee to protect the town. At Sans Souci, a small town immediately below Osceola, the Anchor line steamer Bluff City this afternoon attempted to land passengers and freight. The citizens and levee patrolmen ordered the captain to keep his boat moving, saying that the waves from the steamer's wheels would break over the levee. The captain, however, attempted to land, when the boat was met by a wholesale fusillade of bullets from the shore, but fortunately no one was hurt. The boat was then headed southward and the captain wisely proceeded on his course to Memphis.

Word was received here last night that many persons were surrounded by water on President's island, five miles south of this city, and that their position' is perilous. A steamer has been dispatched to their rescue. Last night the train dispatcher of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad said that all the reports received over the company's wires from the South were to the effect that the levees were standing the strain well. At Helena the water is seven feet above the danger line, while at Vicksburg it is within a foot of it. The reports from up the country are anything but encouraging for this section of the country.

While the Ohio river is falling at Wheeling, Louisville and Cincinnati, there was a rise during the last twenty-four hours 4-10 of an inch at Cairo, while the rainfall in the water shed tributary to Chattanooga in the Tennessse Dasin has been two feet. W. A. Gage, of this city, who has just returned from Northern Alabama, states that the floods there are unpre-decented. Some of the streams in the country were so full of water that he was compelled to wait a day before being able to cross them.

SENATOR SALYER DEAD. Heart IHsease Takes Oft One Badly Needed at Frankfort. West Liberty, March 14. The entire community was painfully shocked this morning when it became known that the Hon. John P.

Salyer, state senator from the Eighteenth district, had died at 3 very suddenly and entirely unexpectedly, of heart failure. Mr. Salyer had been in his usual good health up to a few days ago, when he complained of a slight indisposition. He paid little or no attention to his ailment and none of his friends was aware that he was indisposed. Last night he complained of smothering attacks, which continued at intervals until the end came.

It was Mr. Salyer's intention to go to Frankfort on Monday, and he had written to friends there that he might be expected on that date. The remains will be interred to-morrow by the Masonic fraternity, of which he was an honored member. He was respected and esteemed by all who knew him, and was probably the -most popular man in the county. Mr.

Salyer was born in Floyd, now HagofBn county, February 1855, and of $8 CO The Echophone is run by clock work child can operate it One jeerd goes with machine; extra records 50 cents each.
