however, and the disease seemed to be

has begun to grow back around my
teeth, where it has been literally eaten
away. S. S. S. is the most wonderful
remedy in the world. and as my condi-
ton is pretty generally known, every

a most remarkable one. S. S. S. has

WATTERS0N MAKES SPORT OF
SEWALL.

Henry Watterson of the Louis
vile Courier-Jo has the fol-
lowing to say about Sewall;
The agony is oyer.
Sewall has taken his pen in
hand and composed a piece.
1t is sent out as his formal ac--
ceptance of one-half the nomina
ton for the vice presidency on the
ticket which Mr.. Bryan heads.
1t is q wonderful composition.
In style it "lays over" the master
pieces of the sweet young author
ess of Beyond the Alps Lies
Italy," and Night Brings Out The
Stars" In fact, we may perhaps
now look for campaign lie that
Mr.. Sewall's lettre was written by
that young lady herself, who is at
present Mr.. Sewalls typewriter.
But let such lie he nailed in
advance. We do not credit il Tor
a moment. We have not the slight
est doubt that Mr.. Sewall's letter
of acceptance was written by him
self, all by himself, with no Other
assistance then mayhaps that use
full little compendium, Every Mar
His Own Letter-of-Acceptance Wriy'
En-"
1t is true that some OF Mr.. Bry
ans fellow populists have insisted
that Tom Watson, with one hanc
tied behind him and the other hanC
in Sewalls hair, could beat Sewal
writing all holler, bat now tina
Sewall has shown what he can d.
ia Ube writing line it is hardl,
probable thal even Tom Watsol
will da e so up against him.

A BRILLIANT ELECTRICAL DISPLAY.

LIGHTNING STRUCK A TROLLEY FEED WIRE AND
THEN The FUN STARTED.
Pedestrians in Westinghouse. during the storm
last evening were treated TO electrical display
as unique as II was beautiful Lightning struck a
trolley feed wire the rail- subsidng. and for
a brief time the street from Myrtle-ave. to john
son-st was ablaze with balls and bolts Of blue and
green fire, sizzling and 1zzing and exploding with
sharp reports at short intervals
The display began directly after a bolt Of light
ming struck one of the auxiliary feed wires near
the corner of Myrtle-ave. In flash ii had burned
through tho wire. and 1t fell. striking the sup
porting transverse wire next to it, a noise followed
like the report of a small cannon. number Of
people were on the sidewalk. and they scurried
for the doorways in hurry and looked on from
safe distance. For minute the street was dark.
and then, through some vagary of the fluid. there
was another loud report a succession of flashes.
and in the instant beautiful festoon Of fire where
the wire had fallen and was resting on the support
ing wires appeared from Johnson-st. toward Myr-
tle-ave for 300 feet The wire red hot and the
randrops they fell upon 1t produced little eva
nescent blue fire balls, which seemed to chase each
other up and down the chain OF fire darling off
and disappearing with a flash. only to be followed
by myriads Of others. like sparks from forge.
Then the display subsidized. and the trolleym GIN
gerly removed the wire, while three policemen
chased numerous careless people who tried to
how they could come TO the wire without
stepping on il.
