Blown to Eternity with Dynamite.

MARQUETTE, Mich, March 27.-Reckless
work by some miners at the South Buffalo
mine, Negaunee, yesterday, resulted in
the death of Peter Doyle and Charles Pc
an opening into the level where Doyle and
Peterson were working from the one be-
low. The upper level was nearly reached
Wednesday night and a blast put in.
Yesterday morning the dynamite was
fired directly under the feet of Peterson
and Doyle, to whom no warning had been
given. Doyle died within an hour and
Peterson at noon.

A CASE OF CHRONIC CATARRH
In the Third Stage oured-yea Years
Victim Of oatarrh, and Per-
mauently Cured.
A TREATMENT THAT NEED Nor FAIL IN
REACH OF ALL.

If cases like the following can be cured
certainly there is hope for all. This patient
had been growing worse in spite of all treat
ment for ten years, and had reached thai
terrible condition known as the third stage
of catarrh (atrophic catarrh). The offens-
i've breath, and dry scales forming in the
nose, cracking i'm the ears, describe a con-
dition which is considered by most physi.
clans as hopeless. The case is given in the
words of the patient:
CLINTON, MICH, March 81, 1891.
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.,
Gentlemen: / had been troubled ten years
with chronic catarrh, gradually growing
worse from year to year. ! tried all the
treatments and remedies heard of without
any relief. My symptoms were dry scabs
forming in the nose, dropping from the back
part of the nose into the throat, sore throat,
nose stopped up, offensive breath and crack
ing and roaring in the ears. began ia
take your remedy on the first of November,
1889, and in twelve months was perfectly
cured. l used no local treatment, but used
only your medicine internally. have had
no return of my catarrh, and consider my
self perfectly cured.
III. ID. WALTER.
1t would be difficult to describe worse
case to cure than the above. The length OF
time it had run, the fact that 1t had contin-
ually grown worse, and the further fact that
| II had already developed the symptoms OF
the dry, or atrophic, stage of catarrh, COM
bine to make this very remarkable cure,
quite impossible to be made with the
ordinary treatment.
This cure was effected by internal treat
ment alone, and no spray, gargle or inhal-
ent was used. The case began to improve
as soon as the medicine was begun, ana in
six months every symptom had disappeared,
| but the medicine was continued for few
months longer, for fear they would return.
This man has been exposed during the past
winter to the changeable climate of Michi-
gan, and has not had the slightest return of
any catarrhal symptoms. Not month
passes but that hundreds of similar cures
are made by the internal use of Pe-ru-na,
unasssted by other treatment.
The only reason that there are any fail
ures are either because the catarrh is COM
plicated by some organic disease or the
patient does not take the medicine long
enough. The majority of people expect to
be cured in a week or two of catarrh that
has run ten or fifteen years, Such people
are nearly always disappointed. Pe-ru-na
will cure recent case of acute catarrh in a
few days or weeks, but when the disease
becomes chronic it takes longer
Colds, winter colds, bronchitis, sore throat
and pleurisy are all catarrhal affections, and
consequently are quickly cured by Pe-ru-na.
Each bottle of Pe-ru-na is accompanied by
full directions for use, and it kept by most
druggists. Get your druggist to order it for
you if he does not already keep it.

mining and smelling companies shall
come under the general taxation laws.
LANSING, Mich, March 3l.-One of the
most important measures of the session

that the man at the masthead sees is a

Since the establishment Of the lighthouse
system, which, by the way, is older than
the Constitution, and antedates the Revo-
luton by more than half century, the
theory of lighting the coast has been that
every lineal mile shall be SO set with
towers that the rays from their lights
shall meet and pass each other, so that

Electric Light Bugs.

Since the introduction of electric

getting taste of bugs, description Of
which will be readily recognized by our
home readers. An account says: cit
is q common sight to see swarm OF in
seets about the electric lights in this
city, but the lamp-cleaners report that
they have never seen SO many since the
the electric lights were put in the street,
and that the variety is greater. They are
of all size, shapes and colors. A new
specie is noticed by the lamp-cleaners al
most every week until they now main
tain AMI with great carnestness that the
electric light is producing unheard of
varieties and monstrosities in the bug
creation. Ore large dust-colored insect
as large as a humming bird, with pincers
like pair OF ice tongs, and whose wings
produce sound similar to high speed

of this light, and with it is shown one of
the first lighthouse tenders, pinnace OF
some tonnage.
From that time until 1889 there docs
not seem to have been built more than
eight lighthouses of the first class. Of
these Sandy Hook light. Cape Henlopen
at the entrance to Delaware Bay, the
Main light at Charleston, and the light
at Portsmouth, N. H., were the most
conspicuous. At that time, 1859, the
lighthouse system was then, as now,
under the Treasury Department., but it
seems that not even an order concerning
a lighthouse could lie carried olt with
out personal direction of the President,
as is evidenced By the following letter,
the original of which hangs in the Office
of the Lighthouse Board.

To Alexander Hamilton, Esq. Secretary Of
the Treasury of the United States.

storm, there was yet at tie top space OF
about fifty feet square upon which to ac-
commodate a structure. Upon this
Uncle Sam undertook to build light
house. The rugged character of the
headland, the tendency of the sea face to
land-slides, and the great distance from
Astoria, the nearest supply point, made
the execution of the work task of Ia
Dor, difficulty, danger and expense.
The veEy first day, in effecting land.
ing, the foreman of the working party
was drowned. Four days later four work.
men, with hammers, drills, bolts, pro-
visions, fuel, stove and some canvas to
protect them, were successfully landed,
and few days later FIVE more mcn were
got to the rock. from which time the
commencement of the work may be dated.
1t took three years of unrelnitting labor
and at q frightful cost, to build this
lighthouse. The building is a square,
one-story dwelling, from the centre of
which rises the tower, which is crowned
by gallery and lantern containing a
first order lens. The material used is
stone for the outer walls and brick and
iron for the interior. The light is forty
eight feet above the base of the tower
and 1856 feet above the sea.
Upon this solitary rock, miles from any
human habitation, surrounded week in
and week out by howling tempests and
angry waves, dwells the keeper with his
family. Not a patch of green, not a
pound of earth, not a shrub, not single
thing in sight but the broad expanse OF
ocean, and with nc communication save
at such time as the lighthouse tender can
visit him, this solitary mortal, like Alex
ander Selkirk, must make the best OF life.
