TUG BURNED.
The Rover of Hilo Bay Is Seriously
Damaged by Fire.
(Hilo Tribune.)

(llllO IrlDune.)
After towing the big ship Roder;cll
Dhu to proper place to send her off
the next morning, the tug Rover was
locked at her wharf in Reeds Bay last
Friday afternoon. Having eXtinguished
the fires Captain John Utterstrom
came up town. Upon reaching the
central telephone Office he happened
to glance back and in doing 80 noticed
a column of smoke rising from the
neighborhood of the Rover's wharf
At first he thought it was some brush
being fired, but on further investiga-
ton ascertained that it was the tug on
fire. fastening to the place he ar
rived in time to see the final destruc-
ton of the cabin house, etc, on deck.
With considerable difficulty the fire
was extinguished after it had burned
little into the hull of the tug. The
machinery was not very much injured
and the damaged upper works will be
repaired Immediately. The tug is
partly insured.

THOUSANDS DIE
From Exposure TO Infectious
Disease and Impure Air,
Important Points About "PurifnG," the
Great DlSinfGCtant,

In these enlightened days of the nine
teenth century tits an acknowledged
fact that ian ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" and that ounce
OF prevention was never better exempli-
fled than in the use of the great disin-
fectant known as"Purifine." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attention. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply lndif-
ferent, but none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of 'Purifine." In the first place
1t was left to the manufacturers of
"Purifine" to compound disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter, AS users Of disn-
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant. especially when in constant
use, becomes sickcning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much so as the odor or
rmell to be killed.
In a word, "Purifine" is odorless. and
ITS work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally it is Indispensable.
Then again 1T is non-poisonous, an all
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results. and it is absolutely safe
to have around the house.
AS sample of its harmlessness it can
even be used III in refrigerators, and, if
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
it is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which "Purifine" is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of The Post. For flush
ing sewers, and for cleansing sinks,
drains, barns, urinals, water closets,
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is so low that it
can be used lavishly. and for hospitals.
asylums, public buildings. hotels restau-
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries.
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this is a point to be
considered. One gallon is used To bar
rel of water, and for general use one
tablespoonful to pint of water.
"Purlfine" is a sure preve ntive against
cholera, la grippe, small pox, diphtheria,
all fevers and contagious diseases.
AS an antiseptic and healer "Purifine"
is invaluble, for it relieves and cures
sore throat, catarrh, stings and bites of
insects, burns and scalds. chilblains, sore
eyes, pimples, and for the bath it is a
delightful adjunct. 1t will instantly
stop any flow of blood, and physicians
will understand It's full value from it's
principal constituents, bromine and
chlorine. 1t is prepared only by the

StRaddleba6s in the SORp-S Strong
Silver Platform Teller Lost in the
Shuttle Where Are We At7 scar

w. j. Bryan, the young Nebraska
statesman received the Democratic
nomination for President yesterday on
the fifth ballot.
Up to the time of going to press the
vice president had not been named, but
it looks as though John R. Mclean, of
Ohio, will be the man.
Bryan has the distinction of being
the youngest man ever named
for the office, being only SO years of
age. Bland ana Boies were the only
opponents who cut any particular
figure in the convention. The platform
adopted comes out positively Cor silver,
but is mild on the tariff. 1t copies
many features of the st. Louis plat
form.
Bryan's nomination was made unani-
nous by majority vote, but the gold
delegates objected. The gold men
throughout made strong, determined
fight, but there was no open bolt. 1t is
thought by some that another ticket
will be put in the field, but this is not
prObable Teller's name was not regu-
larry presented, and there was no
visible sentiment in his favor. How
ever, the gold Democrats are wroth and
many declare they will not support the
Chicago nominee. Senator ill says
the platform violates the most cherished
principles and traditions of Democracy.
Col. John r. Fellows says: "There is
not one iota of Democracy in such a
platform. 1t is tissue of Populistic
and anarchistic notions compiled by
men who have no claim TO recognition
or statesmen or even politicians but
who are frenzied fanatics. Ex.Gover-
nor Flower described it as a "Crazy
quilt of anarchy, the outcome of in
competent, brainless fools" These
gentlemen were evidently in temper.
The platform will appear in full in
this paper next week together with
further and detailed accounts of the
proceedings. ...-

ILLINOls CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR TRIBUNE, n again endeavor
to break the silence from this corner of
the earth by dropping the paper line.
First viii mention the weather and
season in general, which to a soiurner
in the arid west is an interesting study
indeed. We are having extremely warm
weather and great deal of rain, which
of course is no news to the readers of
THE TRIBUNE, but to be right on the
ground where such things as copious
rains and plenty of sunshine produce
abundant vegetation Of all kinds with.
out the aid of irrigation, is to see it in
a different light from any newspaper
report, There never was such pros
pect for crops OF all kInds, exeept
wheat, in this part of Illinois, as the
prospect this season., To those who
have never seen corn country when
the crop is growing as it is this year, 1
would say, by all means take advantage
Of some of those cheap rates Offer Ell
by the 0. S. L. and come east for
few weeks and see what a real farm
ing country looks like when compared
with one where farming is so meager.
And this is no reflection on Idaho and
surrounding country, for that country
possesses advantages that this country
never can have; and If it possessed Just
one advantage of this country, viz:
moisture, it would beat this out of
sight. So would say to all who are
settled in that country and contem-
plate removal to this, for the purpose
of lettering their material condition,
that the difference Of material advant-
age is not worth travelling expenses
from there here.
Now, Mr.. Editor, permit me to extend
to you word of mutual sympathy in
the present political outlook. You
know there are some recreant sons who,
by their wilful naughtiness, have tried
to bring the two great parties-in which
you and / have the honor of being
champions (?)-to grief. But we may
console ourselves by the blessed assur-
ance that while those Maynard sons in
our respective parties have wandered
off after the enchanting voice of the
silver siren, we have stood true to our
respective banners, and are marching
on to fields of carnage where cold water
and Book beer will flow like rivers in
defence of the principles we love. And
while we cannot as yet go to them, let
us hope that they may return to us;
and although we do not march side by
side in the conflict, let the battle cry be
"Down with Cleveland and debauchery,
and up with Uncle Sam and pure man
hood" Yours truly, 1. S. HICKS.
