DESTROYED BY FIRE.-ShOrtly be.
fore II O'Clock Saturday forenoon fire
was discovered in q dwelling house
situated on the lower end of South
Chestnut street, owned by Mr.. George
E. Fairchild and occupied by Elder
Burt. The fire had gained considera-
BILE headway when the alarm was given
The fire department were on hand as
promptly as the condition of the roads
would permit, and succeeded in
quenching the flames, but not until
the house was very seriously damaged
throughout. About one o'clock in the
afternoon the firemen abandoned the
scene of the fire and returned to the
engine house, when, in q few minutes
the alarm was again sounded, the
flames having burst out afresh. and
before they could be suppressed they
finished the work of destruction. The
family of Mr.. Burt rescued most of
their household effects in somewhat
damaged condition. The loss on the
house is estimated at about 81, 400 in.
sured for 81 900 in the Knox Mutual.

An Indian Locomotive Builder.

An Indian boy at Acambaro, on the
Mexican National road, asked an en-
ploye of theroad how he could calculate
the difference in diamter between the in
side of a cylinder and its exterior. The
boy was scarcely 16 years of age, and
the railroad man was thunderstruck at a
question he could not solve. Going
with the boy to his hut he found he had
actually constructed two miniature en-
gines. One of them was stationary
engine with au annex; the second was q
tiny Baldwin engine, both in running
order. The Mexican Edison had con-
structed the machines with a file and
knife. The railroad man informed Mr.
Gonzales, who Immediately took the boy
and sent him to the Baldwin Locomo.

live years at his own cost to complete
the education of the talent with which
nature has so wonderfully endowed him.

New Principle i'll Mechanics,

A young man living in Louisville, KY,
claims he has discovered a new prin-
ciple in mechanics, by means of which
he can multiply the power of any motor
without loss of motion. The working
model is thus described:
On chair stood an ordinary white
wood box, with shaft from one side,
at either end of which were attached
iron cranks of equal length set centring
on each other. He first gave an illustra-
ton of the power of the machine by at
taching tive-pound weight to one
crank and twelve-pound pound weight
to the other at an equal elevation from
the floor; then letting both loose, the
lighter weight raised the other to the
the heighth of the crank.
On being questioned, the inventor
said: Il am not a steam engineer by
trade, but have spent much time
studying the application of all kinds of
power. Sixteen years ago, | conceived
the idea of multiplying power without
any loss of motion. | have worked on
different plans for sixteen years, but
could never get the idea that would
give me the result until short
time ago, and it is so simple that I am
actually ashamed of it. know that the
principle is correct, and that it is orig.
inal. / have examined over nine hun
dred attempts in the same line made by
other inventors without having attained
the object they aimed at. There are but
three pieces to the attachment, and they
can be fitted to any stationary, locomo
tive or marine engine in manner that
will increase their working power over a
hundred and twenty-five per cent with
out any loss of motion"

DIR. Ksanedys "FAVORITE REMEDY"

Mr.. s. w. Hicks, of Pleasant Valley,
Duchess Co., N. Y, the son of Mr.. E. S.
Hicks, whose name may have appeared in
this journal in connection with an article
similar to this, was, like his father, afflicted
with Stone in the Bladder, only that his case
was more serious than his fathers. On the
appearance of the disease the father advised
the son to write to DR.. David Kennedy, of
Rondout, N. Y, who he said, would tell him
what to do. Dr. Kennedy replied, suggest.
ing the use of ''Kennedy's Favorite Rene
dy," which had worked so successfully in the
fathers case. Mr.. Hicks, who had been
assured by the local physicians that they
could do nothing more for him, tried Flavor
lite Remedy" at venture. After two weeks
use of it he passed stone q of an inch long
and OF the thickness of a pipe-stem Since
then he has had no symptoms of the return
OF the trouble. Here is a sick man healed.
What better results could have been ex-
pected? What greater benefit could medical
science confer! The end was gained; that is
surely enough. DR.. Kennedy assures the
public, by reputation which he cannot af-
ford to forfeit or imperil, that the "Favorite
Remedy does invigorate the Blood cures

Gardening in Alaska.

Socially and from an agricultural point
of view Alaska at present does not pre-
sent particularly attractive appear
ance. Not only are its towns few in
number, but they are far from being at
traetive or thickly populated, and one
cannot but feel that a prolonged exist
ence at any one of the settlements would
be a hardship compared with which al
most any other would amount to moth
ing. AS for agriculture, an honest state
ment must be that there is none now,
while an equally honest opinion must
admit that there may be farms and
gardens and products if land is ever
properly titled and if proper attention is
ever given the business. Talking with
the different inhabitants, one cannot
discover that the soil of Alaska is at
fault for the non-productiveness, but
rather that proper attention has never
been given the question of gardening.
At Wrangell there are a few tracts of
land which have been cultivated and
which yield the more common and hardy
vegetables, and one farm in particular,
which has been worked by the mission
school Indians, has made a most credita-
BILE showing. At Juneau, a new and
very ragged-looking village, around
which are the largest and most promising
mines in the territoty, there are
several small gardens surrounding the
different houses, in which such vegeta-
bles as cabbage, beans and potatoes are
raised with more or less ease in consid-
cradle abundance The greatest diff
Guilty, so far, has been that the under
ground vegetables, such as potatoes, tur
nips, beets and carrots, absorb too much
of the moisture which the soil contains
But this trouble, as l have often been
assured, can easily be obviated by sys-
TEN of drainage. At Sitka one sees
more gardens, small, to be sure, and
carelessly attended to, but in which there
is a good and large assortment of vege-
tables, evincing growth which, although
not rank, is surely encouraging to those
who believe that Alaska can grow
enough products to more than meet the
demands of its possible population
That the country will ever become noted
as an agricultural region in particular, or
that it will even become distributing
centre of cereals, fruits and vegetables,
no one expects and no one really hopes
The question is whether anything will
grow, and the answer really must be in
the affirmative. Alaska has natural
wealth enough in its fisheries and mines,
so it seems now, and has no need to
trouble itself about its agriculture moro
than to see thai enough can be raised to
keep starvation from the door independ-
emily of outside aid.-San Francisco

much ability by Prof. Mcfarland. HIS

of about $40, 900 has been formed for
this purpose. OF this amount the gov.

Gold coins are in local circulation,
which, although not counterfeit, are
equally to be repudiated by all to whom
presented. Their spurious nature con-
sists in the fact that they have been de-
preciated by corrosive acids, and although
gold, with a clear, genuine ring, each
and every one of them has lost from
twenty to thirty per cent. of their value,
aud cannot be cashed at the banks for
their face. AS far as known, the de-
preciated currency is in S. pieces. They
can be easily detected upon close observa-
ton, being lighter than the standard,
and more smooth over the surface, the
action of the acids having cut down the
sharply defined enclosing of both stamp
and milling. One of these coins was
presented yesterday at the Merchants
National bank. This specimen had lost
exactly 81 of its original value. Omaha
