CANADIAN TOWN BURNING
THE HNHABITANTS ARE ALL
PANIC STRICKEN.


Fire and Great Destruction o.
Property Certain-The PeopIs
Have Taken to the Woods.
OTTAWA, June 16.-The village of Cas-
selman, about thirty miles from Ottawa
on the line of the Canada Atlantic rail
way is likely to be entirely consumed by
fire.
Passengers by the Canada Atlantic
train from Montreal, say the village
when they passed through it last night
was mass of fire.
Immense piles Of lumber and huge
stacks of tan bark containing thousands
of cords and nearly every house and
store in the village were on fire.
The men, women and children were
rushing toward the woods in most
frantic manner, with what little of their
household effects they could rescue from
their dwellings. There was no possibility
OF ascertaining whether there had been a
loss of life. The destruction of property
must have been enormous.
The village is the second largest on the
Canada Atlantic line between Ottawa
and Colean. The population is said to
be about 1000.

Association, not saloon was open Sun.
day. The saloon keepers, after being
convicted, decided to have enforced the
entire Sunday closing law, which forbids
any kind of business being done except
that Of uudertakers, livery stables and
hotels. Sunday in addition to the saloons
and gambling houses, not restaurant,
cigar store or news stand dared to open.
1t 10 thought the effect Of this wholesale
closing will bring about a repeal of the
state law and defeat the Sunday closing
movement. The hotels could not accom-
modate the hungry crowds used to get.

"When times were good,
Merchants cared not a rusll


For any other fare,
Than Johnny cake and mush."
But now times have changed, and the
plain and simple fare of the forefathers
is done away with. Patent flour, and
high seasoned food, and strong drinks
have taken its place, and. as result,
dyspepsia, impure blood, and diseases of
the stomach, liver and lungs are numer-
ous. This great change has led one of
the most skillful physicians of the age to
study out a remedy for these modern dis
eases, which he has named his Golden
Medical Discovery" DR.. Pierce in this
remedy has found a cure for dyspepsia,
bronchitis, asthma, consumption, in it's
early stages, and liver complaints"

The Old Story AGAIN.

\ party of men were out hunting
deer near Dedham, a station west of
the city on the Eastern road. the past
week. On Thursday afternoon, one
man, Adam Miller of the West End,
seeing the bushes move, concluded
that only a deer could move bushes
and so fired his winchester. y moment
later he heard a man calling for help,
that his companion had fallen and shot
himself On approaching the place
Miller found he had shot Il man named
D. Stiifler, who was lying across a pile
of brush still alive Miller clme to
the city and gave himself mp. and the
injured man died that evening. OF
course it was an accident. but almost
an objectionable one.

margin of profit to all engaged in the
business, from the mine owner down
to the retail dealer. The latter asserts
that his prices are such as to give him
a bare living, and that the combine be-

serving to each his proper and legiti-
mate share of business; and not with a

which they themselves are subject,

not justly be held accountable for a

power to remedy. But that dosn't in

people of this city are concerned.
They are entitled to know why and
for whose benefit they are being mulct-
ed to the tune of at least one dollar on

buy. The retailers say that they are
