Threatened by IA Prairie Fire.

BLUNT, ). D, Aug. s.-The mercury
was at 100 in the shade Thursday and the
wind blew fearful gale. About noon
the east-bound freight engine fired the
prairie west of this city and the entire
population turned out to fight the flames,
which were travelling north to the grain
fields of Suly county. The train hands
lent assistance, and by strenuous efforts
the fire was placed under control

Women are not slow to
comprehend. They're quick.
They're alive, and yet it was
a man who discovered the one
remedy for their beenlzar all
mentS.
The man was DR.. Pierce.
The discovery was his -" Fa-
vorite Prescription the boon
to delicate women.
Why go round with one
foot in the grave" suffering in
misunderstanding when
there's remedy at hand that
isn't an experiment, but which
is sold under the guarantee
that if you are disappointed
in any way in it, you can get
your money back by applying
to its makers.
We can hardly imagine a
woman's not trying it. Pos
sibly it may be true of one
or two-but we doubt it.
Women are ripe for it.
They must have it. Think
of a prescription and nine out
of ten waiting for it. Garry
the news to them!

revolver. AT night about dozen of these
may De seen lying about in convenient
positions, and in divers little armories are

Queen Vic and the French Navee.

LONDON, Aug. S.-Queen Victoria has
caused some surprise by her emphatic
command that the greatest honors shall
be shown to the French naval visitors,
when they arrive at Portsmouth. 1t is

recollection of her hospitable reception
during her stay at Grasse when portion
of the French feet remained in adjoining
waters as naval guard of honor.

IDENTIFY knew l was intimately acquainted
with Gortschakoff. l understood his hints
very well but did not respond to them,
though we chatted together for over an
hour. Finally arose to leave and he half
babe me goodbye and then said"
BY the way, Mr.. Curtin, want to ask
you question, which you may answer or
not as you please. l will not feel offended
if you do not answer it, He then asked
me as to whether had heard Prince Gort-
schakoff express any opinion concerning
him ann his future. l replied that | had,
but that the remark was such that would
rather not repeat it to him. At this Napo-
lean bowed and, and babe me farewell. He
understood as well as though had told him
that Gortschakoff was not friendly to him,
and that the Bonepartes could hope for
nothing from him. When 1 got back to
Russia I found that Prince Gortschakoff
knew all about my visit and the converse
ton, though how he learned it could never

the shoulder, and this like the revers and
front corner of the skirt is braided in gold
and black. The large buttons are of gold

in black and gold, gives finishing touch to
this stylish model. 1t is quite treat lust
now that the spring season is full under

the various eccentricities of dress and de-
meanor to be seen there any afternoon. I

and fashionable knowledge One thing I
have noticed is that the hats are more beau
tiful than ever, and are a good deal smaller
than those worn last season. No particular
shape seems to be first favorite. l suppose
this is owing 30 the spread of the true ar

that it is absurd to see the short woman

A Faw Terse Recommendations for the

A local theater manager of vaudeville
house has the following unique stipulations
in his letter heads:
As we only take in about a thousand dol
lars daily we can't pay any fancy salaries
Write for what you expect Two-hundred-
dollars-a-week artists treated with scorn.
If your billing is not here ten days before
your opening your job at this factory will
be crushed 10
Valgarity in any form is strictly pro-
hibited; remember you have children of
your own.
We have lately constructed a dynamite
trap for hams or incompetents. If you are
such, please disappoint. Be warned in
time.
Ten dollar railroad tickets will be sent to
those who deposit ten dollars in our safe.
Our neck is sore from getting it there.
Parties playing from any other shop"
in town who are booked here, six weeks
before their opening with us, will be side
tracked. Bother your mind with this
item.
Every trouper laboring here will be re-
quired to sit in first parts, goin afterpieces.
Any performer cancelling date after
being billed, or disappointing without
notice, need not write again inside fifty
years. This seems sad, but she goes.
Parties writing for dates will please con-
slider silence negative as the manager
may be to a bal game saving wood, scrub
bling out or something else, and has no
time to waste ink.

pected to observe this item. Rates, six dol
lars; children over seven, half price; kids,
nothing. Nice sunny playground for chill
dren in the cellar.
We have a baggage wagon connected
with the theater, and parties will save time
and money by either bringing their checks
to the theater or give them to expressman
representing same; the horse is little
lame, but will get there all right. He's a
good one; cost us thirty dollars, harness
and all,
N B-Don't ride up with your trunks;
the horse can't stand it, wagon either
