been published. I have used the Cold

Headache Cure in my family with per-
feet satisfaction. These remedies are
worth their weight in gold. In my fam
lily they have cured the worst cases of
cold in one day, and dyspepsia of seven
years standing was cured with three
walls of the Dyspepsia Cure. l have
had very severe headaches, which were
driven away in half an hour by the
Headache Cure. My wife suffered
greatly from sleeplessness, and one vial
of Nerve Cure gave her perfect relief.

the proprietors of such valuable rene

At the funeral of Hugh McShane. Of
Capouse avenue, which occurred yester-
day afternoon, considerable difficulty
was experienced by Undertaken Wymbs
in reaching the Hyde Park Catholic
cemetery. Since the recent storm the
roadway which leads direct from Main
avenue has been blocked by huge piles
of snow, and yesterday the undertaken

by means of the Keyser Valley road,
making it about mile and a half fur
ther to travel This has been the case
with all Catholic funerals since the late
heavy snow fall. All Interested under

ON Other Side OF Channel
Some Events of the Day On the West
Side Of the City Noted.
BIG FIRE ON LUZERNE STREET
Destroyed u Large Hotel Building and
Badly Damaged u Private Dwelling.
Funeral Of John 1. Williams. OF
Deckers Court Other News.

The three-story hotel on Luzerne
street owned by William Deckilnick
and rented by Robert Alexander, was
destroyed by fire about l.4j o'clock yes
terday morning. and the three-story
double dwelling house adjoining suf-
fered considerable damage from the
flames. An alarm was turned in at
box 80 by Officer Gurrell as the Column
bia company was leaving the hose
house. The Franklin company came
up few minutes later. AS only one
hydrant could be used, Chief F'erber
had twin coupling put on and two
streams were secured. A second alarm
which was sounded brought out the
Hook and Ladder company. The fire
could be fought only with the greatest
difficulty, as the two buildings We're
peculiarly situated. The ladders were
placed on all sides and the work began
in earnest. Water was poured into the
houses from the noZZleS of the pipes,
but 1t took two or three hours hard
work before the flames were controlled.
The coats of the firemen were coated
with ice and they worked under the
greatest difficulties. Assistant Chief
Hall was overcome by the dense smoke,
but the fresh air soon revived him.
When Mr.. Alexander and hts family
were awakened they We're compelled to
flee with hardly any. clothing save
what they could grasp. OF their valu
able furniture they saved nothing. Mr..
Firestine, who resided in the dwelling,
saved some of his furniture from the
first and second stories. He owned the
part of the building in which he re-
sided and carried an insurance of 800
on the house and $500 on the furniture.
The hotel and home of Mr.. Alexander
were owned by Mr.. Deckilnick, the
former structure being insured for
$500 The total loss will probably
reach $4,000. Other buildings near by
We're scorched, but beyond this no
damage was done.

EXORBITANT CLAIMS,
Some That Have Been Filed Under the
Indian Depredations Act.

Some That Have Been Filed Under the
Indian Depredations Act.
CHAMBERLAIN, IS. D., Sept. 2.-R. P.
Sperlin, agent for the court of claims,
who. is at present visiting this state,
says that claims of about $44, 100000
have been filed under the Indian de-
predations act of congress. Texas
heads the list, with New Mexico a
good second. Some of these claims
are just; some exorbitant, some fraud
ulent.
AS an example, two Mexican gram
dees of New Mexico claimed to have
lost 5000 sheep valued at 81 per head,
and not only made affidavits to that
effect, but had Is or 20 of their en-
ployes do the same thing. 1t seemed
to be clear case of loss, but the court
objected to paying So per head for
Mexican sheep. Mr.. Sperlin was ac-
cordingly sent to New Mexico by the
court to compromise ON S1.50 per head,
but the Mexicans declined all overtures
to arbitrate. As this was Mr.. Spernin's g
first case, he was anxious to make a
record and began an investigation,
which resulted in establishing the
fact that the Mexicans never owned
more than 1900 sheep at any one time,
and that few hundred head were ac-
tually stolen by Navajo Iddinas, but at
different times and places than
claimed.
An enterprising Bear Butte ranch
man had filed claim for the loss of
1?0 tons of hay at $500 per ton. alleged
to have been destroyed by Indians in
March, 1877. At the time hay was
selling in that region for $40 to $50
per ton,

An Optimistic Report by r. G, Dunn In
His Weekly Review of Trade.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-R. G. Dunn
& Company's Weekly Review of Trade
will say:
Improvement in market and prices
continues. and where a few months
ago everybody was nursing the faintest
hopes of recovery, 1t has now come to
be the only question in what branches,
if any, the rise in prices and the in
crease of business may go too far.
A strong conservative feeling is find
ing expression, not controlling the
market or industries. but warning
against too rapid expansion and rise.
In some directions the advance in
prices clearly checks future business,
But encouraging features are still
powerful. Exports of gold continues,
but are met by syndicate deposits and
are expected to cease soon. Anxieties
about the monetary future no longer
hinder.
Crop prospects, except the cotton,
have somewhat improved during the
week. Important steps toward the
Reorganization of great railroads give
hope to investors. Labor troubles are
for the moment less threatening and
some of Importance have been defini-
tely settled. The industries are not
only doing better than anybody had
expected, but are counting upon q
great business for the rest of the year.
The advance in prices of iron and it's
products has added about 81 per ton
more in a single week to the price of
Bessemer iron at Pittsburg, and yet
the great steel companies are buying
wherever they can, while the air is
full of reports that this or that finished
product will further advance.

Barnum Never OutdId it

MONTREAL, Aug. 3O.-Charles
Greenwood, an electrician here. who
has often earned an odd penny by IN
ventions of one kind and another, last
Thursday allegedly caught in Black
river, tributary of the St. Lawrence,
sea serpent which looked like a
monstrous conger eel. 1t was thirty
three feet long, and in some parts oi
the body three feet in circumference.
At first local papers did not take
it up, but wnen they did it was done
with vengence. Thousands came to
see it, and it was picked and could not
be touched. it looked for all the world
like the real article. Wednesday
afternoon Magistrate Dugan ordered
Constable Bishop to break the glass
tank which contained the serpent He
cut open the beast and found it was
made of cotton painted and vanished,
and stuffed with sawdust. 1t was to
have been shipped to New York yes
terday.
