BLEW DOWN BARNS AND DID
MUCH OTHER COSTLY
' DAMAGE,
It was reported yesterday that the
gale of Monday night blew down
two barns in the Lewis and Clark
region "belonging to Mrs. William
Kinney. One of the barns was total
ly wrecked, and as it fell one horse
was badly hurt, and the hay and
other contents of the structure were
scattered far and wide by the wind.
The gale of Monday night and early
yesterday morning was one of the
fiercest of the year, and one that did
much damage of a minor nature in
and around the city. At North Head
it was reported the wind attained a
velocity of 70 miles an hour, but it is
said to be probable that the gale ex
ceeded this here. Windows were
broken, fences blown down, chim
neys blown off, and much damage
done to the wires. Portions of the
rails on both the Youngs Bay and
Lewis and Clark bridges were laid
flat by the fierce winds.
One of the features of the gate was
the peculiar effect it had upon scores
and even hundreds of people. Yes
terday it seemed that half of the peo
ple on the streets complained that
they had been unable to sleep during
the storm, and in some instances this
was clearly not due to any noises
made by the wind. A peculiar atmos
pheric quality seemed to accompany
the storm so different from the usual
balmy condition here that it left peo
ple nervous and depressed, and dur
ing the night kept them wide awake.
Of course many others were kept
awake most of the night by the slam
ming of doors, the creaking of win
dows and the howling of the scurry
ing gale.
Monday, of course, was "wash day,"
and Monday afternoon and evening
were so son and balmy that many
housewives left their clothes out on
the lines over night. When the wind
came up havoc was created on the
lines. Table cloths coared off into
neighbors' yards, pillow cases went
sailing through the air never more to
return, and nighties and other thing!
that are usually hung out on the
Monday line were interchanged by
the winds with a promiscuosity that
was quite as ludicrous as it was em
barras'ing.
As a result of the gale the electric
lights were put out of business, and
those who had to get up early yes
terday morning had to find candles or
lamps, or else dress in the dark. The
district messenger service was also
put cut of commission for a time.
Nat ones, the tender on the county
bridge between this city and the
West Side, over Young's Bay, was in
the city yesterday morning and re
ports the sou'easter was one of the
worst in all his experience in thi
section. He says that it flattened the
bridge-rail along the eastern end of
the bridge from the draw to the west
coast of that bay almost at one blow
and he expected to find other and
more serious damage when he in
spected things in the morning, but
was agreeably disappointed. On his
way to the city, to report matters to
the county court, he came across
big arc lamp at the summit' of the
Eighth street hill, evidently blown
block out of its fastenings on the
hill tvstem.

CAUT. E. P. PARKER TAKES
SUDDEN PLUNGE INTO
YOUNG'S RIVER.
At noon on Monday last, as he was
assisting ohn Erickson, the Smith's
Point dairyman, to drive four cows
from the Parker farm on Young's
River to the Erickson ranch, Captain
E. P. Paker had a narrow escape from
drowning.
He was in a road wagon and was
leading one of the cows, while Mr.
Erickson was behind, on a horse,
driving the other three. Someone in
the woods on the east bank of
Young's River fired a shotgun and it
is presumed one of the scattering
shot struck the horse driven by the
captain and the animal (without oth
er apparent cause), sprang over a
ten-foot embankment, wagon and all,
into the stream, which at that point
and stage of the tide was about 16
feet deep. It was done so suddenly
the P. A. Stokes' store frontage at
Commercial and Twelfth street, caved
in at So'clock yesterday morning un'
der pressure of the gale, and a similar
fate overtook the plate glass window
in the office of J. Callaway, the mer
chandise broker on Eleventh street,
who occupies the place jointly with
the Osborne Tailoring Company.
The 80-mile wind tore one section
f the A. E. power wire from its fas
tenings and it fell across the Postal
wire, with its 2300 volts, and blew out
the fuse in the office of that com
pany, putting the Postal out of busi
ness until the onslaught could be
made good. '
Lame Shoulder Cured.

rheumatism of the muscles and quick

Chamberlain s pain balm. Mrs. v.
McElwee, of Boistown, New

my shoulder, I decided to give t '
berlain's pain balm 'a trial, with
suit that I got prompt relief."

THE HOME OF HART SCHAFFNER & MARX
that there was no possible way of
heading off the plunge, and the whole
outfit went under. Mr. Erickson was
almost paralyzed at the episode and
came near fanting with fright; but
rallied at once and went about the
work of rescue.
Captain Parker came to the surface
and finding himself free from the lines
and gear, struck out for the bank,
which he reached safely, and was as
sisted ashore; after which they secur
ed a long branch, and with this he en
tered the river again and got the limb
under the jaw of the animal and slow
ly guided it into the bank and finally
got it back in the road.
The rig floated on down the river
and they overtook it and by hard
work recovered it and found that
nothing was broken save the harness
This was temporarily repaired and the
party proceeded on its way over the
long brldge 'and down to the Erick
son place, where a hot fire, some dry
clothes, and a hearty meal helped to
compensate for the untoward exper
ience of the day.
It was a narrow squeak for ' the
captain, however, and he is duly sensi
ble of it, as much from the contempla
tion of the incident and its actual
danger, as from the pains and pangs
that were shooting through his frame
all of yesterday.

The Pure Food Law,
Secretary Wilson says, "One of the
objects of the law is to inform the
consumer of the prescence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines." The
law requires that the amount of chlo
roform,, opium, morphine, and other
habit forml.ig drugs be stated on the
label of each bottle. The manufac
turers of Chamberlains cough remedy
have always claimed that their reme
dy did not contain any of these drugs,
and the truth of this claim is now
fully proven, as no mention of them
is made on the label. This remedy is
not only one of the safest, but one of
the best in use for coughs and colds.
Its value has been proven beyond
question duripg !ie many years it has
been in general use. For tale by
