For La Grippe FOR 30 DAYS YOU CAN RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA AND CATARRH Cured by "5 DROPS" Three Years Ago. DOCTORS PRONOUNCED HIM INCURABLE He Is still well and writes, on Oct. 1 0, 1 898: ' I teel It a duty that I owe to God and suffering humanity to announce to you and all the world what "6 DROPS" hat done for me." (TRADE MARK. SIBERIA. PERRY CO., IND., JAN. 29, 1896. SWANSON RHEUMATIC CURE COMPANY: I would like to thank you for your great remedy, "6 DROPS," and tell you what it has done for me. I had Rheuma tism In every Joint and in the heart, and 1 had Catarrh of the Head for 30 years. 1 waa so poorly that I lost the use of my legs and arms, and could not move without pain. I was stf crippled that I had done but little work for seven long years, and our family physician, a good doctor, told me that my Rheumatism and Catarrh were Incurable, and I believed him. But now, AFTER USING "5 DROPS" ONLY TWO MONTHS, I can truly say I HAVE NOT FELT SO WELL FOR SEVEN YEARS. This medicine does more than la claimed for it. At this time my Catarrh is much better and I have scarcely any Rheumatism at all, and the heart weakness and pain are gone. My hearing is now good and my eyesight is much better. I have gained more than 10 pounds of flesh and can do a full day's work. It is the best medicine I ever saw to give a mother who has a young child, for It has the same effect on the child as on the mother. It wards off Croup and cures the Hives of the child,, and causes sweet and refreshing sleep to both young and old. WM. M. KELLEM3. SIX TESTIFY TO ITS TRUTH. In a letter of October 10, 1898, from Mr. Kellems, he says: "I feel It a duty that 1 owe to God and suffering humanity to announce to you and all the world that I am yet In the ring with untold thousands of others, to testify to the great merits of your valuable remedy called "5 DROPS." I believe I was the first sufferer la this part of the earth to learn of the existence of "5 DROPS," some three years ago. I wa then badly afflicted with Rheumatism, Catarrh, etc., which my letter of Jan. 29, 1896, fully speaks of. All I can say is "5 DROPS" cured me. To make a long story short, "5 DROPS" needs no recommendation in this part of the country, aa everybody knows the "5 DROPS' remedies around here. IT HAS CURED more cases of Rheuma tism, Sciatica, Neuralgia and many other pains than any other medicine that has ever been sold or heard of. For the last three years I have noticed the effect "5 DROPS" has on the eick, through my own observations as well as my brother, who is a prac ticing physician, and USES THE "5 DROPS" IN HIS PRACTICE. All ye that wish for further Information, write and you are sure to get a reply without any delay. I will (as I have done in this letter) cheerfully recommend it to any one that I may come in contact with. I myself can never forget what this remedy has done for me and1 many others.

The obstruction having been removed, the train steamed on, and at the end of an hour the train once more stopped. 'What's np now, gnard?' the passenger again asked. 'Is it another cow?' 'No, sir, no,' was the prompt reply; 'same cow, sir.' " Chicago Journal. A Failure.

ONE OF THE COTTAGES GUTTED A Like Institution Was Destroyed In 188)1, Causing the Death of Six Persona. Yankton, S. D., Feb. 14. A moat horrifying fire occurred this morning at 2 o'clock at the state insane asy lum, when one of the cottages was com pletely gutted and caused the loss of the lives of 17 women inmates. The cottage had atone and granite walls with wooden interiors, and in tended for laundry purposes. Owing to the crowded condition of the main building, 40 of the female patients were placed here with the laundry in the basement. The fire originated in the diyroom of the laundry. Here there was a coil of steam pipes, and the theory is that either fine particles simi lar to lint settled on the pipes and ig nited, or that clothes 'which were thickly hung close by dropped on to the pipes, and were fired. The fighting ot the fire was greatly hindered by the loes of power. The only source of .water was an artesian well, 400 feet distant, the pipes for pumping which ran through the cot tage. The intense heat soon caused the pipes to burst, thus leaving the fire men without power, and dependent en tirely upon the direct pressure from the tank. But two streams of water could be thrown on the building, and these did but little good. Fifty-two persons were in the build ing, 40 patients and 13 attendants. The structure was three stories and an attio high, and had two .entrances. There was one stairway from the sec ond and third floors, which led into the main hall, thus giving, but one egress for those above the first floor. Patients and attendants fled with ter ror, great confusion resulting, especially among those on the upper floors. Many heartrending scenes were enacted as the inmates, clad only in their night clothes and barefooted, rushed down the narrow flight of stairs, and finally ont into the snow. The temperature was 23 degrees below zero, and further loss of life from freezing was prevented alone by prompt work of the attend ants from the main buildings. The at tendants escaped, as did the others, who were saved, with none of their personal effects, many losing all they possessed. Portions of charred re mains can be seen in the debris at the bottom of the basement. The four walls of stone still stand, black and grim, and will make the work of re moval dangerous, as a total collapse la liable to occur without a - moment's warning.. The institution was destroyed by fire in 1882, when six lives were loet. The pecuniary loss at today's fire is (18,000, uninsured. BURIED IN AN AVALANCHE. Many Italian Miners Victims of the Slie Eight Bodies Recovered. Denver, Feb. 14. Two mighty ava lanches combining into one swept down Cherokee gulch at 8 o'clock this morning, carrying away a dozen or more mine buildings, cabins and ma chinery, and causing a great loss of life and damage to mine property. How many dead bodies lie in this great mass of snow and debris will not be known before spring. Eight dead bodies are now at the morgue, two more persons are known to be lost, and three have been taken out alive. ' The rescuing party has only penetrated about 15 feet into the 'mass of snow and wreckage piled up at the foot of the gulch to the depth of 75 feet. Asroncillo Ordered the Fight. Washington, Feb. 14. The follow ing cablegram was received at the war department today from Otis: "Manila, Feb. 14. Adjutant-General, Washington: It is reported the insurgent representative at Washington telegraphetd Aguinaldo to drive out the Americans before the arrival of re inforcements. The dispatch. was re ceived at Hong Kong and mailed to Malolgs, which decided on the attack to be made about the 7th inst. The eagerness of the insurgent troops to engage the Americans precipitated the battle." Panama Strike Continues. Colon, Colombia, Feb. 14. At a conference held yesterday at Panama, a representative of the strikers declared that the men were willing to accept (2.20 a day in currency, but the tail way officials declined to entertain the proposition. Fifty more laborers from Fortune island arrived today on the steamer Finance. The general situa tion, so far as the strike is concerned, is unaltered. This end of the Panama railroad is completely blockaded. Gale In England. London, Feb. 14. A heavy sale swept the British islands yesterday and bas continued today, causing floods at many points. Rivers have overflowed theii banks, railways have been sub merged and there have been numerous casualties along the coast. In reply to the representations of Ambassador White, Germany has as sured the United States that she will investigate the conduct of her agents in Samoa, and should it be shown that tlley have acted in violation of the treaty of Berlin, sbe will recall them. The chief officer and boatswain of the British steamer Martello, from New York forHull, England, were killed and the quartermaster and a seaman drowned, during a fearful storm recently. Deputy Sheriff Davis returned to Dallas a few days ago from the Panhan dle along the line of the Fort Worth & Denver railway. He says the storm caused distress and desolation. At Tezline, the snow is five feet deep on the level. The mercury was 15 de grees below at Clarendon. The loss of cattle along the line of the railway is something terrible. There were re ports at stations of terrible distress among the inhabitants of sparsely set tled districts, and it is regarded as a certainty that many jieisons have frozen to death. . New Creoaotlng Plant. Thereosoting plant of the Southern Pacifio has recently bagan operation at Latham, in Lane county. Huge re torts or boilers, long enough to take in piles 110 feet long, are first filled with timber, which are then covered with creosote and heated to a temperature of 250 degrees. This heat drives the water all out of the wood - by evapora tion, and the hot creosote takes its place during an immersion of eight to twelve hours. It is claimed that piling thus treated will last 50 years. The life of untreated piles is about 10 years. Many Horses Perished. Reports from Gilliam county, Or., are to the effect that range horses have perished in enormous numbers during the late cold snap. Persons who trav eled over that section of the country have seen the animals lying by the roadsied, having been frozen to death after reaching the stage of starvation. More Goata Than First Reported. Instead of only 1,400 goats in and around North Yamhill, the local pa per Bays that, according to a recent careful count, made by some local men, there are about 4,000 head, all of which are within a comparatively short distance of .the town. New Shingle Mill. . E. L. Gaudette, a Whatcom county, Wash., logger,' is building a new shingle mill at Samish lake.
