Pensions Fer Dependent MOthsrs-A DscI-
 sion Which Will Swell tho Pension
 Rolls.
 WAsHINGToN, Nov. 15.-Seoretary Teller has rendered an important decision respect ing the proper construction of the section of the revised statutes concerning pensions to dependent mothers. The Secretary refers to the reorganized moral obligation among all civilized people that son should support his dependent parents, and holds that while there is no statutory provision requiring such support, still it may be accepted as an estab- lished fact in ths adjudication of these cases that the loss of son has deprived the parents of the support of that son in the days of their dependency. The statute governing the settlement of pensions for dependent mothers must, the Secretary says, have a liberal construction, ''so as to include all per sons that from all the circumstances and words of the statutes the legislative mind must have included at the tim o it's passing" He reviews points concerning proof to be required that the son contri- buted to the support of the mother, and says it would be unjust for mother to receive a pension if she would not be dependent on the if living, and equally unjust to de- priVe the mother of the aid she would have received if her son had lived. If the son was minor the father was entitled to his services, or if the latter was not living the mother was 80 entitled and therefore the de- pendent father or mother should be allowed 8 pension. The effect of this decision, in the opinion of pension officials, will be to in- crease the amount paid for pensions $500 GOO $1, ,O00, 900 annually.

FIRE RECORD.

Lumber Yards Ablaze-A Whole District One Mass of FIames-Ths Losses Very Great.
 OSHKOSH, Wis, Nov. 15.-Fire broke out at noon to-day in the lumber district on the river front. A high southwest wind carried the flames along with great rspidity toward the large sash ard door factories, the Mil waukse and St. Paul railroad yards and the business part of Main street. Here the fire jumped to two other points, devouring three frame residences. TeIegrams were sent to Fon-du-Lac, Neenah and other places for engines. Two arrived promptly from Fon- du- Lac and one from Neenah. Stanhiller, Ames & Go g lumber yards were soon ablaze and million feet of lumber were destroyed. The fire communicated to Pratt's yard and then to Redford's saWmill. The machinery of the latter mill was removed to 8 place of safety. Three tenement houses on the borders of Morgan's lumber yard then caught fire, while the flying sparks ignited buildings a long distance from the river. At 8 o'clock the First ward lumber district was sea of flame and it is estimated that fif- teen million feet were burned. A desperate fight was made to save 8 large section of
 
 Mayor Pratt's large mill was by this time in ruins. The gale increased in violence and the whole town seemed doomed. Thousands of people arrived from adjacent places and assisted in suppressing the roof fires which had started in several localities.
 Three engines arrived from Milwaukee and did good service. At o'clock Chief Weis- brood, of the fire department, fell from a house. breaking his leg and sustaining sev- ere internal injuries. At 10 p. m. the fire is still burning furiously, but unless there is g change of wind 1t can be kept within it's pres ent limits. The excitement is so great that no accurate estimate of the losses can be made.
 Later-What threatened at one time to be a repetition of the confagration of 1873 was finally subdued before midnight. Stanheller, Ames and company's lumber yard and that of Mayor Pratt's adjoining were burned. The total loss Is estimated not to exceed $10O,- 900.

 Gentlemen-In August, 1875, had par alytic stroke which affected the right side of my body. I could not speak for eight days. It was six weeks before could walk with the aid of 8 cane. For five and one-half years I was out of business. In June, 1881, met man who had suffered from partial paralysis and rheumatism for eighteen ears. He had not been able to walk more than quarter of a mile at time. He had been wearing Wilsonia for ifty-four days and was then able to walk three miles as well as most men, He advised me to see Prof. H. Smith, who had also been cured of paralysis by wearing Wilsonia. Satisfied that it was worth the experiment. purchased 8 suit of Wilsonia on the 25th of June. In three months could walk without cane and have been improving ever since. would not take $50, 900 and be as I was 8 year ago.
 One merchant in this city who, by my reo- ommendation, has worn 8 suit of Wilsonia for eight weeks, is in better health than for ten years past. I also know of a case of Ca- tarrh and Rheumatism cured by wearing the Wilsonia. Yours gratefully, F. c. L.
 There are scores in our city and in the country who have been equally benefited by ''WiIsonia," '" whose testimonials we have failed to receive, but enough have been ob tained the past three years to establish the fact that 8 new BI OadWay in the realm of Science has bee n dem On- strated.

PIaInvilIe's Contemplated WhterwOrks-
 A Sten in the Right Direction.


 P1A1Nv1LLE, Nov. 15.-At last this slumber ing town of PlainvilIe has awakened to it's long sense of duty in the establishment of a system of waterworks in this her own town. In taking 8 retrospect of one year find that this good old town has been visited by at least five or six large fires, some of these involving great loss of property. And in nearly every instance the fire might have been extinguished if the town had some system of waterworks. Now since the two recent large fires the people have been awakened to the fact that by the expenditure of a nominal sum of money they can easily protect their property. Surveys are now in progress to establish water company In this town. MT. Theo. H. Mckenzie has direction of making the surveys. He is making the preliminary surveys in the vicinity of Brad ley farm northwest of Shuttle Meadow Lake In all probability the supply reservoir will be in that vicinity. A number of capitalists have already petitioned for charter for a water company.
