The New Cure for Animals.

The rapid strides recently made i'm the
more humane, scientific and successful treat
ment of the diseases of domestic animals, is
not only matter of surprise but is cause
for congratulation. Not only are the old,
barbarous and inhuman methods largely
discarded, but the new ones cure much
quicker and more surely. Not only that,
but diseases formerly considered incurable
are found to yield as snow before the sum-
mer sun, to the mild influences of this new
system. True, the people learned slowly.
The firing, the drenching the blistering and
the bleeding went on in the treatment of
animals long after it had disappeared in the
treatment of people But the continued
advertising of DR.. Humphreys, and more
than all the grand success of his Specifics
in curing diseases of domestic animals,
could not be withstood, until now every
stOckman who is up with the times uses his
Veterinary Specifics. They would just as
soon 60 back to the sewing needle in place
of the sewing machine, or to the grain
cradle in place of the reaper, or the mail
coach for the telegraph, as to return to the
old mode of firing, drenching and blistering
I'm the place of Humphreys Veterinary
Specifics. His veterinary book of 400 pages
is sent free on application to the Humph-
rey's Med. Co., Cor. William & John streets,

On steamboats,, cars and stage-cOaches,
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters is carried as the
most important item in the matera medica
of the travelling public. 1t deprives Initiated,
bracksh waters of its hurtful properties and
execrable flavor, counteracts the pernicious
effects upon the stomach of bad or indigest-
ible food, remedies cramps, heartburn and
wind upon the stomach. 1t is fine defense
against malarial disordery, nullifes the
effect of excessive heat, cold and damp, re-
lieves sick headache, and is an Incompatible
cure for costiveness and billiousness. The
fatigue of travel often tells most disastrously
upon invalids and convalescents, OCCASION
ally to such an extent as to jeopardize life.
Persons in feeble health, apprehensive of
bad effects from travel, will, If provided
with the Bitters, be far less likely to have
their fears realized.

In his address ON Decoration Day Maio

In his address on Decoration Day Major
Nc Kinley said: The only debt this gov
eminent can never pay is the debt 1t owes
the brave men who saved the Nation. The
soldiers waited for their pensions, patiently
waited, periodically, while the government
was struggling under the mighty burden of
money debt incurred by war. They stood
firmly for the payment of that debt, they
resisted every form of reputation, under
any guise. They have saved the country in
war, they helped to keep its financial honor
free from stain in peace. The great war
debt is almost paid. Who shall say that the
other government obligation shall not be as
sacredly kept"

vEHIsoN AND TURNIPs.
How Alaskan Explorers Cheated
Starvation in the Cold.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 10.-PriVate let
ters from McGrath's party of Alaskan bOun-
dairy surveyors show that they had hard
time last winter on the Yukon. Turner,
who commanded the Porcupine river divls-
ion of the survey. recently arrived here after
waiting seven months at st. Mlchaels for a
vessel. McGrath's party probably now have
left the camp on the Yukon, and are going
down the river. They will proceed to St.
MichaePs, where, as many sealers are In the
neighborhood Of Behring Sea, they ought to
have no difficulty IN securing transportation.
McGrath writes under date Of August 25th
last. He says he has had no letters for near
ly one year, aud all news received was Sc
cured from Kansas paper. Fog, rain and
clouds prevented observation Of the frequent
oecultation Of stars by the moon. On Octo-
Der 10Th last steamer came by the camp
with miners, and two members Of the party
were sent to st. Michaeps to lessen the
amount OF food required for the winter The
outlook was blue, as most OF the canned
goods had been used up. Every one was
placed on a daily allowance OF two slices Of
bread, one pilot biscuit and other food In
proportion. Just about the time they were
preparing for semi-starvatlon, moose and
caribou appeared In great numbers, and they
also discovered a bonanza In field of tuT-
eral thousand pounds OF turnips and big
supply Of deer meat. This diet grew monot-
Onous before the winter was over. but II
gave strength, though none of the party will
ever yearn again for venison or tur nips
With the mercury frequently 30o below zero,
the Indian children played barefoOted ON the
snow and wore only single garment.

HOW TRAIN NO. q BEAT The RECORD
Passengers Were Panic Stricken and
Train Men Were Poweriess.
Seventy Miles an Hour the Pace
Down the Eight Mile Grade.
Tho Brakes Wouldn't Hold and En-
gine and Cars Ran Away.

DAYTON, August 1O.-Train No. 2l, on the
Pennsylvania road, is an elegantly equipped
vestibule traiD, and reaches this city via
Xenia 1t consisted of eight cars, and was
loaded down with passengers east bound.
Eight miles from this city begins a grade,the
steepest in this part of the state. -Four miles
are very steep, the remaining four being
moderately so. The track Is almost a bee
line and crosses many much frequented
roads.
At the top of the grade the train, being so
heavily loaded, acquired great momentum,
and Engineer Davis under took to lessen the
speed, but found himself powerless, the air
brakes refusing to work. Sanding the track
and reversing the lever-dangerous things
to do-were tried Intellectually. The fric-
tion became so great, and the danger OF tear
ing up the track aud precipltating derail-
ment became so imminent that 1t seemed
best to let the train alone.
All this time the momentum had been in
creasing. and now the train was proceeding
at sensational PEACEFULLY 70miles an hour.
Farm houses looked like mere specks. and
telegraph poles and fences were matters Of
memory rather than sight, A dozen vehi-
cles containing people were narrowly missed
at crossings as the train went laundering
along. leaving behind smoke-like trail.
Back in the coaches panic reigned. Wom-
en- screamed and some tainted. Men became
frantic. and the trainmen, assisted by few
coOleI-headed men, had their hands full in
keeping some Of the more excited from
jumping from the train TO certain death.
Each moment the excitement grew. The
train groaned, the sparks flew In clouds
from the rails, aud the coaches rocked from
side to side like drunken men. Men began
to curse and women to pray.
The train, still unmanageable, hurled it self
into the suburbs OF the city, dashed with a
roar across streets, successfully crossed the
taacks OF the Chicago, Hamilton q Dayton
and Big Four roads, ran past a station at 60
miles an hour, and was not stopped until 1t
reached the heart of the city.
Thousands gathered to see the train and
marvel at its miraculous escape from de-
struction. Several passengers were so over
come they could not proceed on their jour
ney. 1t is believed some one either acci-
dentally or Intentionally opened the air
brakes. Engineer Davis and Conductor
Fletcher, by their brave and cool-headed con-
duct, prevented horrible disaster.

IN THE WINDY CITY.
1t Rained Fire and Crockery During
a SUNDAY CvcIora

CHICAGO. August 10.-It rained live tur-
ties, porcelain and flaming balls of fire in
Chicago yesterday. After weeks of dry
weather and several days of unbearable heat
a genuine cyclone struck town after 3 O'Clock
last evening. Terrific gales of wind swept
the streets clean and the sky suddenly grew
blood red.
Freaks of the storm were visible In many
places. At Hermitage avenue and Polk
street two huge balls Of fire rolled into the
street, and with roar like that of artillery
burst.
A second later the ground for yards around
was strewn with bits of porcelain, which
curious folks carried away. A child sitting
at window had its feet seriously burned,
and scores of people were knocked down.
At Western avenue and Madison street
lightning ran along the telegraph wires, and
four men who were leaning against the police
patrol box there were hurled against a wall
ten feet distant, the electric current having
found the ground wire. All electric lights
were extinguished and telephones were
burned out.
In the downpour of rain live turtle fell
upon the mass of wires in front of the West
ern Avenue Baptist church and hundreds of
people gathered to see its antics. 1t was
taken down and placed on exhibition.

HoBoKEN, N. j., August 10.-A dastardly

from the basement. lie gave the alarm and
a squad of police were soon on the scene.
The commotion awakened the tenants and
the greatest excitement prevailed. WomeH

fremen did heroic work. Ladde rs were
raised to the windows and won en- and
children hurried down. While a fireman
was carrying a woman down a ladder 1t
snapped and they fell about ten feet. Both
