A SLIDING HILL.
Unlontown Residents Are Having Lots
of Fun Just Now.

Down in Uniontown yesterday every
thing seemed to be on the move. Ever
the houses along the steep bank abov'
the roadway between the Washington
and Seaside canneries caught the in
spirasicn and changed positions. 50 thai
their occupants made hiasty prepara-
tions TO remove to obher quarters.
1t was all caused by the heavy rains
and snow of the past week, which so
'oosened the earth that late Thursday
night the whole sidehill began to slide
off into the bay. Four or five houses
were moved distance of from two to
five feet, and In one instance a dwell
ing vls toppled over so that the slight
est jar will send 1t tumbling down over
the roadway.
Several of the families have made ar
nangements Ito spend the nights away
from their homes, but during the day
they return to their houses, but ever
with a waichful eye upon the sliding
ground. Back of Charles Wes.erland's s
house huge opening in the groups
shows the extent TO which the whole
side hill is moving. Just how much
further the slide will go, cannot be
figured on at this time, but people who
live in houses along THAT part of the
hill are losing no time in getting onto
safe ground. Down every little ravine
runs a stream of water which shows
how thoroughly soaked is the ground.
On the roadway at various places
gro {. ptles of earth have tumbled down
from the banks above, and at one place
IA section of the trestle work fully two
hundred feet in length, has been entire
ly carried away. There is but little
use of attempting to repair the damage,
until the ground stops sliding, which
probably means that some weeks will
elarse before a wlgon can be taken
around Smiths Point

In South Dakota and Northern Ne

suffering for the necessities of life,
the elevator companies propose to sell
seed grain in the spring to the counties
at very low price and to take pay
in county warrants. 1t is estimated
that 100000 bushels of grain will have
to be furnished in the State in the
spring. A like plan has been devised
to furnish coal khls winter The local
DEALERS have arranged with their East
ern houses to cell coal to the counties

THE UNEXPECTED DISCHARGE OF
A CANNON

Close by would not have a more dis.
turoing effect upon the nerves which
are vigorous than an ordinary noise
upon those which are weak and un-
strung. AS a nervine, HoStetter's
Stomach Bitters is unrivalled. BY pro-
noting digestion and assimilation they
overcome that gastric disorder which
is the most prolific cause of nervous
debility, and which, so long as it exists,
defeats in large measure the action
of sedatives and opiabes. Such RENE,
dies, moreover necessitate the use of
increasing doses, and finally cease to
act altogether, except in dangerous
quantities. They never reach the foun-
tain head of the trouble, and quiet the
nerves only by seImi-paralyzing them.
Equally objectionable are fiery unmedi-
Gated alcoholic stimulants. Kidney
bladder and liver trouble, malaria, con-
stlpation, and rheumatism are relieved
by. the Bltters, which also promotes
appetite and nightly repore.
