Undoubtedly many diseases may be
prevented if the blood is kept pure and
the general health-tone sustained by
the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla. When
this is done, the germs of
La Grippe, Diphtheria
Pneumonia, Scarlet and Typhoid Fevers,
Malaria, etc, cannot lodge in the system.
After all such prostrating diseases Hoods
SarSaparilla has been found of inestimable
value in restoring desired health and vigor,
and purifying the tainted blood

Matte A. Cobb of Providence, r. l.. and her
mother. Miss Cobb is young lady of 10,

had Of one of his stories. the
first edition printed was twenty
five thousand. His success in the Bloom
ingdale investigation brought him an In
vitation from James Gordon Bennett to
join the Herald. Mr.. Bennett sent him to
the source of the Mississippi river, saying
as ne did so: 81 have q young fellow
named Stanley searching for the source of
the Nile. Why would it not be a good
thing to know something about our own
great river, of which we know so very lit
tle!" The result was the expedition to
Lake 1tasca, and the disco very by Mr..
Chambers for the Herald of Elk Lake, the
far source of this longest river in the world
"a TACT which is now recognized by the
last report of the historical society of Min
nesota. This is, perhaps, the most import
ant personal achievement in Mr.. Cham
bers' career, and it belongs TO journalism.
He remained fifteen years with the Herald,
and occupied literally every desk upon that
journal.
He was Washington correspondent in
1874 and 1875, London correspondent in
1877, and later he was sent to Philadelphia,
ostensibly, for six weeks, to investigate
the corrupt Gas Trust ring. He was so
successful in the work that he landed sew
several to Canada. The work
took three years instead of six
weeks, and from Philadelphia MIR.
Chambers was again sent to Wash
ington to succeed Joseph Howard. whence
he was transferred in October, 1856, to the
managing EDITORS chair. There he re-
NAMED until he joined the World. The fact
should be mentioned that while in
Washington at this time he wrote up the
wedding ceremony of President Cleveland
and Frances Folsom, almost without as
slstance. The article filled one entire
page of the Herald. When called to the
chief executive chair in the Herald Office,
the paper, by inactivity, had been permitted
TO take second rank il circulation to the
New YORK World; but Mr.. Chambers
turned it id the other direction, showing
improvements in every department and q
wonderful increase in circulation. His
success was so great that in the following
year Mr.. Bennett called him to Europe to
establish the Paris edition, which has
always been successful and which is to-
day worth $50, coo year. to its owner.
Mr.. Chambers experience with Mr.
Joseph Pulitzer was that of other men who
have rendered him jealous service. In his
new field he will have abundant opportu-
nifty to utilize the experience which he has
recently had as the editor of the Sunday

A TOWN DESTROYED.


Iron River, WIS.,, Almost Completely
Wiped Out by Fire Measures of Re
lief.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 25.-The town
of Iron River, 10 miles east of West SUI
perior, on the Northern Pacific road,
was wiped off the face of the earth by
fire late Sunday afternoon. The entire
business district and depot buildings of
the Northern Pacific and Duluth, South
Shore e Atlantic railroads were
burned together with most of the resi-
dence district. The loss is roughly es-
timated at 5000, 600. The fire originated
in store building two blocks south
of the Northern Pacific depot. The
big sawmills, half a mile from town,
escaped. AS soon as it became evident
that the town was doomed all efforts
were directed to saving personal eff
fects. The 1900 inhabitants are in the
smoking streets without shelter or food.
A train of freight cars was sent out by
the Northern Pacific company in which
people may store their effects. The town
was practically without fire protection.
The Superior fire department was
summoned, but before they got out of
town were recalled by message stat
ing that it would be too late for
service. Many Superior people are
heavy losers.

much. This poor man may have wife

even nourishing food for delicate wife,

The national house has had shock.
Section 40 of the United States revised
statutes makes it mandatory on the dis
bursing officers of the house and senate
to deduct from the salaries of members
for the time they are absent, unless the
absence is due to the sickness of the
member or some member of his family.
Although this is the law, it is dead
letter. Members absent themselves for
very trivial reasons, and are often alb
sent many days at a time on private
business, without being 'docked" in
their pay. A new member from Texas
insists on the strict enforcement of SEQ
ton 40.
