A DREADFUL SCOURGE
The Case of Mr.. Palmer-Pneumonia Car
ried Him Off Suddenly-Everyone Should

The Case of Mr.. Palmer-Pneumonia Car
ried Him Off Everyone Should
Know the symptoms and Be on Guard.
Mr.. Wilton Z. Palmer, of New York City,
left circle of friends one afternoon recent
ly, and received their congratulations upon
his bright and vigorous appearance. That
evening he felt tickling in the throat, q
slight pain across the chest, chilly sensa-
tion, and he coughed once or twice. The
next day his nostrils were inf1amed, his
throat sore, his chest panied him. his bones
ached and he felt sore all over. The day fol-
lowing he was in bed, with physicians shak-
ing their heads, and the third day he was
dead from pneumonia. which he failed to
take in time.
There are ten thousand men and women in
America to-day in the same condition as Mr..
Palmer when leaving his friends, but they
do not know it. The slightest appearance Of
the symptoms above named should strike
terror to any man or woman. A sudden chill
means the beginning of pneumonia; aches
and pains throughout the body are the first
symptoms. 1t is necessary to bring about a
reaction at once. How, then, is the best way
of bringing about a reaction? Ask any ply
sician and he will tell you to use pure
whiskey. 70 matter how prejudiced anyone
may be, pure whiskey at such time is q
necessity, but unfortunately there are few
pure WHISTLES in the world and in fact there
endorsement OF physicians, chemists ald
the highest authorities and that Is Duffy's
Pure Malt. This remarkable whiskey which
Is sold by all first-class druggists and grocers,
will absolutely check the first approach of
pneumonia, while at the same time it is cer-
tain to build up the wasted system. 1t de.
serves to be kept in every household, not
only to be used in cases or emergency but
to assist in prolonging life and bringing
health and happiness.

Sudden and Unexpected Advance I'm the
Price of Wheat and Corn.
CHICAGO, June 4.-The wheat market
on exchange this morning opened with
one of those delusive calms which SO
frequently precede its fiereer moods.
For half an hour or SO nothing occurred
to indicate that anything of an unusual
character was to take place. The bulls
and the bears were eyeing each other,
but doing very little business. The
conflicting elements resembled the in
gradients of seidlitz powder previous
to its sudden admixture IN the same
glass. suddenly they were thrown to
gether and the pit was Immediately in
state of violent ebulition. The price
of wheat, which started at 83k cents
for the July delivery, mounted, amid
great waves of excitement, to 81, IS
and before anything like calm sue
ceeded it reached SO.
The reason for the sudden and unex-
pected advance was the subject Of
much conjecture among the traders.
1t is generally believed that the effort
to boost wheat is for the purpose of
making Ed Pardridge suffer. Many
say that the pushing up of the price is
being done by traders who believe that
wheat lis or will be worth an even dol
lar bushel, ON account of the recent
storms and floods that have been s.
disastrous to farmers this spring. They
who have confidence that the gr1in
will command that price before lony, it
is said. have been quietly buying many
millions of bushels at 80, 81 and as high
as So cents, with the expectation of re-
ceiving rich returns when the shorts
begin to falter. 1t was learned thas
the clique supposed TO be engineer ing
the deal bought million bushels yes
terday as another step toward the elf
1ax which they hope will enrich their
pockets.

TTTUsvILLE, Pa, June 5.-Titusville
was today visited by one of the most
horrible fires and overfiowing floods in
the history of this country. A conser-
vative estimate places the number of
lives lost at fully twenty-five from fire
and drowning, and at least seventy-five
persons are missing.
smear as can be gathered from reports,
the loss by destruction Of property will
aggregate fully 81, 500, 600. All this loss
lis In this city, with the surrounding
country yet to be heard from. A large
number of the most extensive and pros
porous manufacturing establishments
now are in ashes, and hundreds of homes
and business places are utterly wiped
out, while the streets are filed with .
crowd of hungry, homeless, weeping
and distracted people, mourning the loss
of loved ones, who perished In the rush
of waters or the fiery billows OF flame
which engulfed them almost in the
CLING in the vain endeavor to save their
homes. The sky has been filed with
a dense cloud Of smoke arising from the
smouldering ruins of refineries, cooper
shops, furniture factories, radiator
works, hotels, railroad warehouses, cars,
dwellings, ETC., while the waters Of Oil
Creek are rushing through the streets
with almost resistless tide.
No tongue or pen, no language can do
Justice to the scene Of terror and con-
fusion that prevailed in that stricken
city as the sun went down tonight The
Illuminating gas works, the electric
light plants, the city water works are
all under water and the natural gas
supply was turned on at Oil City. This
left the city without water, fuel or
light, at least from the sources from
which necessities have been accustomed
TO come. Parents and children stood
by without the power TO aid one an
others struggles against the clutches Of
the food until eventually they went
down to rise no more.
As sad and as sickening scenes as ever
transpired in the valley OF the Cone
maugh three years ago were repeated
here today, while thousands looked on
unable to avert them. One father to-
night is maniac over the loss of his

TRIMBLE, May 30.-Yesterday after
noon as Messrs. Dennis Keathly and
Brink Beard were walking up the New
port News & Mississippi Valley Rail-
road, they saw some boys bathing in the
backwater near the railroad track. just
as they reached the swimming hole,
Johnny Fielder, lad of il, was in the
act of drowning. Mr.. Keathly, with
his clothes on, sprang into the water
and swan to Johnny's assistance. The
boy grabbed his would-be rescurer and
dragged him under with him. Mr..
Keathly succeeded in tearing himself
from the boys grasp, but being too
much exhausted was unable to swim to
shore. and began calling for help. Mr..
Beard jumped into the water, but see
ing he could do nothing with his clothes
on came back to bank, and as he could
find no pole, plank or anything with
which to reach Mr.. Keathly, he and the
other bathers were compelled to see
him and Johnny drown. A tramp, who
was passing soon afterward, recovered
Mr.. Keathly's body, and the body of
Johnny was recovered by Mr.. Ike Tull.
Mr.. Keathly leaves wife and three
children.

The Legislature of 1891 struck blow
at the educational institutions of Ten
nessee that may result in the abolition
of some of the most prominent schools
in the State.
The constitution of the State provides
for the levying of taxes on all real and
personal property in the State, but stip-
ulates that the Legislature may exempt
the property of the State, of all counties
and towns therein, and of all charitable,
religious, educational and scientific in
stitutions. All legislatures sitting prior
to 1891 did exempt such property from
taxation. The last Legislature, how
ever, passed bill providing for the tax
alton of all property except that belong
ing to charitable and religious institu-
tions, and such of the property OF the
State and counties and cities as Is used
exclusively for public purposes; also
that all property belonging to counties
or cities, any part of which is rented,
shall be taxed.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

A very enjoyable surprise party was
given 10 Rev. M. L. Bramhall by his
numerous friends in this city Thurs

eighteenth anniversary of his wedding
day. During his absence at prayer
meeting about fifty Of his gentleman
and lady friends gathered ut his resi-
dence and with Mrs. Bramhall pre-
pared splendid lap supper OF
coffee, sandwiches and cake. On his
return from church at 8 o'clock
Rev. Bramhall was probably never
more surprised in his life when he
found the happy crowd in complete
possession of his home. As he took
in the situation at a glance he tossed
away u small sack Of apples and cali
dy and exclaimed "In the language of
the politician where am at?'" The
entire evening until IL o'clock was
most pleasantly spent in social greet
ings and the enjoyment of the fine
supper. Ex-senator W. S. Norton In
a neat speech presented Rev. Bramhall
with q purse containing about $l3,
which was responded to in the rev.
erend gentleman's usual easy and hap
ny manner. This was supplemented
with short speeches by DR.. McFadden,
Ira c. Perkins and DR.. Duncan, fol-
lowed by splendid defamation by
Miss Jessie Edwards rendered in her
accustomed artistic way.
Soon after IL o'clock the party dis
persed all agreeing that q most
pleasant evening had been spent and
wishing Rev. Bramhall and wife
many returns of the day.

DR.. Arthur Mathewson. Of New

DR.. Mathewson is brother-in-law of

family that the library is in such ex-
