EAU CLAIRE, WIS, Aug. l0.-Last
night short but brisk shower was et-

progress OF the running fires in this di-

over the Omaha and Wisconsin Central
lines report but few fires observed from
here for fifty miles down the line. In the

is quite large. W. p. Waterbury, of Au-

SWEEP OF THE FOREST FIRES,

Standing Trees Burned to the Roots
Sad Scenes OF DesoIation.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, Aug. 10.-Inquiries
at the general offices of the roads center
Ing here in regard to the forest fires in the
Interior of the State show state of things
not at all dissimilar to a powder maya
zine with lighted fuse leading directly
TO 1t. In nearly every part of the entral,
northern and northwestern parts of
the State forests are burning with
more or less disastrous results. The
forests IN every part OF the State are so
dry that destructive fires are liable to be
reported at any moment where there is
continuous belt of timber to carry them.
b. IL. Graves, a land hunter of Eau
CLAIR, has just returned from an exploring
trip through the forests on the Upper
Chippewa and toward the Superior re-
glon. He reports the destruction OF
standing pine and hard wood beyond cal
culation.
BURNING TO THE ROOTS.
The fire extends in many places to the
roots OF the trees two and three feet be-
low the surface and nurns with the ami.
nation of tinder. The smoke in the woods
is next TO uncomfortable. He says the fire
is making great havoc along the river
twelve miles this side of Superior, and
what few cultivated farms there are in
that direction are completely swept over,
and crops and considerable other property
is destroyed, in many Instances leaving
the owners dependent. The fire extends
from that point along the Superior and
Omaha road nearly to Chippewa Falls,
ten miles north of here. The grain fields
are pitiable sight, all of them having as
sombre an appearance as coal.
IMPERILLED VILLAGES.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 10, IL 80 P. Mop
perfume rams this morning at many points
where the forest fires are raging in North
ern Wisconsin, have impeded their pro-
gress, and to-nights adyices are That the
danger is greatly lessened. Colby would
have been destroyed but for the rain, and
Wauson also narrowly escaped. In
other places the fires remain unchanged.
The village OF Hansen is doomed. 1t is
surrounded by walls of flame, and while
the women as we'll as the men are fight
ing the ire, the water supply is becom-
ing exhausted.
Brillion and Rantoul, in Calumet coun-
ty, are surrounded by fire, and the farm
ers are flocking into the village for safety.
Acres of grain have been devastated.
A dozen buildings have been DESTROYED
at Pensaukee and Howard.
Around Little SuamicO the terror
stricken people flocked into the village
and found railroad communication cut
off. A woman left her babe in her house
and it was burned to death. Hundreds
OF people are homeless in the stricken
district. Coleman. Abrams and New
Denmark are In danger. Rain saved
Stevens Point after thousands of bushels
OF cranberries and millions of feet Of
standing timber in the vicinity had been
consumed. At Sturgeon Bay the smoke
obscured the sun to-day and vessels along
the coast blew whistles continuously.
1t is almost impossible to navigate the
river.

The Arguments Started - Lawyer
Baldwin Opeas-The Jury Excused
Until Tuesday.
Yesterday morning at the trial of Wales
Doolittle the forenoon was occupied in the
testimony of DR.. Gustave Elliot of this city,
who testified to having made three visits to
Doolittle at the Jail, from which he judged
the prisoner not insane. DR.. Hallock, who
has the private asylum at Cromwell and re-
manned in court at the morning session, was
called in sur-rebuttal. He denied the state
ments of Messrs. Young and French, who
had testified to what the prisoner told them
of his treatment at Middletown asylum six
teen years ago. This cleared the testimony
in the case and recess was taken until pm
After recess Mr.. Baldwin, of Naugatuck, be-
gan his argument for the State, and after
speaking an hour the court adjourned until
Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock, to which
time the jury were excused. Mr.. Baldwin
has nearly finished his argument. The jury
in the case very favorably impress the spec
tators as to their looks and ability. On the
adjournment dozen or more witnesses re-
ceived their pay for witness fees or attend
ance as witnesses. The opinion about town
is that the prisoner will probably get ten
years in State prison. There was large at
tendance of spectators and when court ad-
journed and the audience passed out it look
ed as if political meeting had broken loose

Manhattan Elevated the Feature ON

ON Increased Earnings-NeW England
Also to the Front-The Majority of
stocks Close at a slight Advance.
NEW York. Oct. 49,
During the morning the temper OF the marke'
was not so bullish during the same hours yester
day. There was more disposition to realize small
profits than to wait for larger ones There was
also noticeable considerable shifting of the trading
from stocks which have been most active to others
heretofore unnoticed. Western Union, st. Paul
and Reading, which have led the market in point
of activity for the past several days, were compar
ativey dull. On the other hand the trading in
Lackawanna. Hooking Valley and few others
largely increased and the effect OF the forming
of the bituminous coal pool among the Ohio roads
was reflected by advance of 15s per cent. in
Hooking Valley. Manhattan Elevated continued
upon its upward course and made further gains
this morning of two points. New England alss
maintains a prominent position on the belief that
an amalgamation OF the principal New England
roads will eventually take place, notwithstanding
the statements of the officials to the contrary. At
midday prices were irregularly changed, but in
most cases showed advances ranging from Il TO 1ss
per cent The weakest stocks were Indiana,
Bloomington and Western and Pacific Mail The
former was down ga per cent. by midday and the
latter 1lS. The sales to noon amounted to $4,000.
During the morning the market unsettled, al

When one has been suffering the agonies
of a severe attack of rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica, and relief comes, it seems as if q
new lease of life had been granted. Such

dies, have used Athlophoros and found to
their great joy that this medicine really did
cure these diseases.
am glad to say Athlophoros is the only
medicine that ever gave me the relief so
much prayed for by one suffering from the
rheumatism in it's worst form. 1t has done
wonders, not only for myself, but for sever
al neIghbors. l recommend and praise 1t as
