Texas Rainfall Breaks Record.
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 2.—While
accurate figures could not be ob
| tained today reports from sev
1 eral cities in Southeast and
Southwest Texas indicate that
damage from floods incident to
almost unprecedented rainfall
in those sections will reach high
figures, probably more than
$1,000,000. The loss has fallen
heavily on railroads, many
bridges having been washed
away, while rice and other farm
crops have suffered heavily and
the lumbering industry in
Southeast Texas and Southwest
Louisiana has been practically
suspended.
Today one telegraph company
announced that its communica
i tion with the southwestern sec
tion of the State has been en
tirely destroyed. At San An
tonio the San Antonio river is
the highest in many years and ;
damage there is estimated at -
hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
Houston reports a rainfall of
18.13 inches in twenty-fjjve '
days, and the precipitation there ,
has been more than five inches j
since Tuesday night. Other
points report as great precipi
tation and it is still raining.
Railroad traffic has been prac- j
tically annulled throughout a j
very large part of the flooded !
district.
Wants to Leave Mena.
Little Rock, Oct. 3.—Ed Ly
man, one of the residents of
Mena, who as a member of the
“gentleman’s agreement” re
fused to divulge his participa
tion in a game of poker, “lying
like a gentleman,” and had to
serve a term in the penitentiary
for perjury, is after a pardon.
Lyman served several months
on the state farm, accompanied :
by another party to the agree- j
ment, Harve Ridling. He was J
then paroled. . . j
Since returning to Mena Ly-1
man has found the atmosphere
there to be different and he de
sires to move to Iowa- Under
the terms of his parole he can
not leave the state, hence he
asks for the pardon, pledging
himself to remain outside the
state if it is granted.

- . :->us consequence* result. Not
b-.-Ing able to real, s his own con
dii..'in, a chi! !’i h ovels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are
especially well advned to women
■■•:■! children. The Si-ters of
Cl.ristian Charity, S.tt Charles St.,
Luzerne, Pa., who attend many
cases of- sickness say of them: j
“Some time ago we began ualng Dr.
Miles’ Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results In
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased.”
The form and flavor of any medi
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child “medicine,” even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr. Miles’ Lax
ative TaLlets, however, this diffi
culty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
i candy-like taste at once appeal to |
j any child, with the result that they
I are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of other taste, make Dr.
Miles’ Laxative Tablets the ideal
I remedy for children. a
If the first box tails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box of 25 doses costs |
only 25 cents Never sold in bulk.
