Wardner in Ashes.

On April goth, at 80 o'clock
fire broke out in the business
portion of Wardnef, in Lawson's
clothing store almost completely
destroying the town. At one
time before any great damage
had been sustained the flames
were under control, but the sup
ply of water giving out soon
made 1t apparent that the city
was doomed. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000. Fully 75
buildings were consumed and
not a hotel or eating house is left
standing and only four business
houses. Owing to the mines be-
ing closed down the outlook for
rebuilding is gloomy.

Uncle Sam Leads Them All

FORTRESS MONROE, Va, April
19.-The French flagship Are
thuse, which has been expected
for some time, was sighted before
many persons were astir this
morning. She received the usual
deafening salutes from the feet,
and the usual calls of ceremony
were made. Just before noon
the new cruiser Detroit came in-
to the roads with two brooms
made fast to the rigging, indica-
the navy had another ship that
could sweep the sea. She circled
around the feet and steamed out
for the Baltimore.
Tonight the San Francisco
owns the earth, and they have a
fence around it. In every race
in which their crews rowed to
day they came off victorious.
With the finest ship in the fleet
and John Crittenden Watson for
commander, and now with vict-
ory perched upon all banners,
they are willing to challenge the
world and give odds.
When the San Francisco's sixl
cared gig came sweeping across
the line in the first race, leaving
the Philadelphia, and Blake, and
Chicago, and the two Russians
to come in the order named,
there was howl of Joy. When
in the second event the San
Francisco's barge carried off the
little black flag, the howl grew
to a prolonged roar. When, aft
er something of tussle with the
white shirted men of the Part
ridge, the San Francico's whale
boat headed the procession of
struggling crews became whirlt
wind of sound; and finally, when
an almost neck-andsneck race
with the Baltimofe's dingy re-
suited in an unbroken series of
victories, the men went mad
with delight and filled the air
with a cyclone of yelling that
would howl down a gale at sea.
Lieutenant Colehan, of the Ben
nington, acted as starter, and
the judges were Lieutenants T;
M. Potts, of the San Francisco;
T. S. Rogers, of the Chicago;
Valentine Nelson, of the Con-
cord, and Lieutenant Alden, of
H. M. s. Tartar. -;.~ 49,,
The boats passed the finishing
line in the various races as
follows!
First race: six cared gigs
San Francisco, Philadelphia,
Blake; Chicago and the Russians.
Second race; twelve Dared cut
ters-San Francisco; Chicago,
Atlanta, Newark, Charleston,
Philadelphia and Tartar
Third race; six Dared whale
boats-San Francisco, Partridge,
Atlanta, Charleston and Aus
tralia,
Fourth race; four CARED dingy
San Francisco; Baltimore, Chi

Although the money paid in
prizes was not large, the highest
prize being $50 to tie first and
$50 to the second boat, a consids

panysis on fire and nine miners
have been imprisoned with nc
chance for their lives.
There~are two shafts in the
mine. The fire broke out in the
700-foot station of No. 2 shaft
There is only one connection be.
tween the shafts and the men in
the mine are below this point
Though strenuous and heroic eff.
orts have been made to reach the
men, others risking their lives in
the attempt, it has been impossi-
bic to communicate with them,
There is no hope now and it is
believed all have perished.
The fire started at 9:30 this
morning, no doubt through the
carelessness of some miner leav-
ing candle too close to the tim
Der, There were only ten men
in the mine, and John Kramer,
pumpman, alone narrowly es-
capped, being badly burned. An-
other man could have been saved
but he went back to drift for
his partner, When the two men
reached the shaft the cage had
gone. 1t grew so hot, the cage
then being enveloped in seething
flames, that Kramer could wait
no longer in safety.
The men in the mine are Ed
ward Pascoe, Richard Andrews,
Samuel Rovetti, Frank Gerard,
Richard Trembatb, Thomas
Gray, James Netto, Antonio Be-
ara and Evan Poughs.
For two hours men battled
with the flames and smoke which
shot up through the shaft. The
cages were lowered, stopped and
faised at intervals, hoping that
some of those below might be
waiting to escape, but they came
up empty. For two hours water
was poured and pumped into the
shaft, the smoke grew denser
and drove all the men out of the
west end of the mine and to the
surface through No. shaft
Finally men vehtured into the
shaft ON the cages, but could not
go very deep, the smoke was so
very dense. A dog was lowered
to the bottom and left there sew
eral minutes. Wien the cage
was raised to the surface the an
imal WIS found to be alive and a
joyous shotit went up from the
miners, who redoubled their eff
brts, Men willingly descended,
but bohld not remain and at the
Signal given they were hastily
brought to the surface again.
Two would go down at n time,
but when raised to the top were
weak and exhausted from the

time were forced TO return.
Though death stared them in
the face the men did not hesitate
to attempt to save their comrades
but no aid could reach them

All day long watet was poured
into the mine and the flames
Continued to spread, and great

GOLD TONING.

Gold has always been regarded as q potent panacea. When well shaken it is not bad to take. Put up in coin it is con- venient and desirable. It is an antidote for poverty. If not so expensive it would be the poor mans blessing, if used according to approved directions. Not only children ''cry for it" but adults as well. Its uses are various. It consum- mates matrimonial alliances and breaks them. Like charity it covers a multi tude of sins. It often stands in lieu of brains. But it needs careful handling. If used improperly and universally it damns the careless handler. I.atterly it has new mission or use. Although new, it cures old diseases. old, old as the human race. It is one of the remedies that have lain among the latent forces of chemistry, waiting to be discovered. An instance could be cited. One could be named who has tested the modern gold cure. He seems a new man. He has grown fieshy, is quarter fuller in the face. his eyes are brighter and have re- gained their normal snap, his step is more elastic and confident, and he speaks as if by a new inspiration, and altogether appears 15 years younger. an interesting example of what can be done, an exhur- tation and encOura cement to others un- der similar af1ietion. The devitries of whiskey seem to be almost irresistibly fascinating. Check it with chloride. Chloride of gold is much used in the arts and sciences. It is much used by photo graphers to clear up and tone their pict- ures and to cast out the "yellows" from their albument prints. It is said it is eff fectual. If it will also tone up the whis- key smitten and cast out the devil. Great is gold! It is said that photographs will never tone again if the yellows re- turn. Woe be to the gold cured if he again becomes rum smitten! His tor menting devil will stick till death breaks his hold.

DEATH OF FREDERICK B. WAKEMAN

DEATH OF FREDERICK B. WAKEMAN.
 Frederick B. Wakeman, aged Sl. died at his home on Friday morning, Febru- ary 3. He was confined to his bed about three weeks in consequence of a stroke of paralysis that affected his ulind. He was man of great vigor and vitality, of wonderful perseverance and determina- tion of will and possessed a sanguine, cheerful disposition. He was an upright, manly neighbor and highly respected by all who knew him. During his lifetime he sustained many severe accidents, but through his great strength of constitu-. tion and exercise of will power he always rallied and then attended to his duties Some two months ago he met with anoth- CT severe accident from which he never fully recovered and it is supposed the concussion received was the precursor of the stroke that finally culminated in his death. A widow, three sons and three daughters, besides number of grand children and great grandchildren, mourn their great loss. A large circle of rela- tives and friends gathered at his late res idence on Monday, February 6, to attend the funeral services conducted by the Rev J. F. Duinkerke. His remains were then borne to Mountain Grove cemetery for interment. The pail bearers were Messrs Franklin Sherwood. George w. Bene- diet, Lewis F. Wakeman and Frank Wakeman.
