The New ShumeoG.

There is more in that Rockland Ills.)
mans experiment than would seem at a
first glance. He proposes TO have him
self buried alive, and promises at the end
of few weeks to emerge from his tomb
full of life and vigor and not the slight
est bit damaged by his contact with sus-
pended animation.
If the Rockland man succeeds, there
ought to be no more suicides. His due
tilted slumber will be a panacea for a
great many things, including heart pan
les, domestic difficulties and short bank
accounts. We say this taking it for
granted that he will not keep his secret,
but will let the whole human family into
his confidence and fully explain how the
oriental trick of filling a grave for
awhile without dying is done.
When all the world has been enlight-
ened on this subject, the lover whose
breast holds a tempest can seek surcease
of sorrow in one of the public letheala-
RUINS which will of course be estab-
ished. He can suicide for few weeks,
as it were, and only born fools will then
suicide for keeps.
The man of family who finds hard
times pushing him to the wall can take
his whole brood to one of these temples
of temporary oblivion, and all can rest
there until the crisis is past. So, too,
the young man who has no money to
spend on his vacation can have himself
put away in a nichein one of these places
and give out that he is all the while
touring Europe.
The lethealarium will serve many par
poses of this kind and will help to
spread optimism all over the sphere.
Dying for a few weeks will become q
great fad if the Rockland man triumphs.
Tempus may fugit, but eternity will MOI
be in it any more.-New York World.

A Reliable Druggists Opin-

Every Chemist, Every Botanist and every
physician who is unprecedented recognizes

Mr.. NJ. o. Morey, Dispensing Pharmacist.
East Douglass, Mass, is a well-known
druggist and q chemist of high standing.
Under date of February 10, leS3, Mr..
Mercy writes:
alt gives me pleasure to indorse
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, not only from
observation, but from my own per-
sonal use, and | always take pleasure
in recommending the Kickapoo Indian
Remedies to my customers, particularly
Kickapoo Indian Sagva, which, to my
personal knowledge, has proven very
beneficial to several people in this
town who have suffered with blood
disorders. Sagwa has certainly
performed some wonderful cures
The Kickapoo Indian Remedies de-
serve the widest recognition and the
fullest confidence. The safety
guaranteed in the use of this remedy
alone is sufficient to commend them to
all thoughtful people"
When your Blood is bad and your skin
tells the tale by Blotches and Eruptions;
when your Liver Is out of order, your Stom-
ach not performing its Duties, and Dull,
Heavy, Languid Feeling gives you Warn:
ing do not defer. Respond to this Signal of
Assistance From Nature.
Drive these bad feelings out of your
system before long spell of sickness
makes you its victim.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwai Is the best RENE
DIV for YOU to use, because 1t never fails to
benefit at once and restores health, strength
and vigor to the debilitated if its use is
followed. Best of all, you are not filling
YOUR system with Iodide of Potassium,
Arsenic, Strychnine or Bismuth.
You do not have to take any pills with
this remedy to relieve yourself of the ac-
cumulation of minerals from its use.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa restores the
stomach, liver and kidneys to condition
of perfect health and when these organs
are healthy they need no medicine to make
them perform their duties,

RUINS SHEEP OWNERS.

The sheep men of the North
west-Minnesota, the Dakotas and
Montana, are talking of holding a
mass convention TO protest against
the attempts Of the administration
to place wool on the free list.
They claim, and market quota
tions substantiate their claims.
that the prospect of free wool has
already caused the loss of milliors
Of dollars to The farmers of that
region. The manufacturers are
afraid TO buy wool at even the pre-
vaiiing prices, in quantities larger
than necessary for immediate man
ufacture, because of the fear that
under the proposed tariff reform
the price will fall to 10 cents a
pound. The wool marketed in
those regions reaches nearly 30,-
100000 pounds. AT Great Falls.
Mont, alone, last fall over 4,000,-
900 pounds of wool were sold al
prices ranging from Is to 81 cents
pound. The prices there al the
present time average from s to 10
cents lower than last year, and the
loss to that ycung state will be
$4,000,000 OF $5,0O0,000, worse
calamity than the depreciation of
silver. The Montana sheep grow
ers are trying to sell their flocks
for mutton, but can hardly find
market for them at - where last
year So and 81 was paid. The free
traders deserve all the thanks for
this condition of things in the
sheep industry.

The fear that has existed for
months in the minds of the citizens
OF Chicago found realization on
the 10th il frightfuI holocaust at
the worlds fair that claimed near
ly two score victims and for
time threatened the destruction Of
the entire white city. The struct-
ure that burned, the cold storage
warehouse, was one of the small
est buildings at the fair, but not
belonging to the exposition. 1t
was the exhibit of the Hercules
Iron Works, manufacturers of ice
and refrigerating machines. The
building contained a skating rink,
three 12O-ton ice machines, some
40 barrels Of linseed oil, which
added fuel to the flame, and in il
there was stored large quantities
of meat, trlit, etc. That the fire
was not communicated to the other
worlds fair buildings was due to
| favorable winds. The scene o
horror was witnessed by many
thousands of people who flockeG
to the locality when the alarm was
sounded, and strong men wept ano
women tainted as one life aitel

fire was not generally observed un
til about 1:15 p. m., and within
thirty minutes a great loss of life
occurred.

Oregon is one of the states which
has made extensive displays of her
fruit products says the Chicago
Herald, and her section in horti-
culture hall has attracted wide at
tention. The fruit is renewed
every two or three days and is
brought daily from the distant sea-
coast at great expense. Yesterday
G. B. Irvine, who has charge of the
shipments, received large con-
signment of Strawberries. These
were five days on the route, max
ing the journey of $500 miles
through all kinds of weather.
Strawberries are considered by
fruit men to be the most liable to
injury of any kind of fruit, and the
condition in which the consign-
ment reached Jackson Park yes
terday is thought te be remarka-
BILE. The berries were we'll pre-
served and seemingly as fresh as
the day they were picked, a thing
which is considered the more re-
markable III view of the fact that
cold storage ell route was dis
pensed with.
