THE city OF Louisville, Ohio, was shaken
last Thursday by a boiler explosion in a
large mandatory of tile and brick. Four
employees were fatally injured. The wreck
caught fire, adding terror to the situation.
NEVER in the history OF Chicago were
there so many deaths from the heat recorded
as last Wednesday. There were 164 pros
t%rations, thirty-seven OF which proved fatal.
Horses fell dead in the street from the in
tense heat, and business was practically at
a standstill.
THE Murray Hill Bank, New York, one
of the Oldest state banks in that city, closed
its doors last week. A posted notice, signed
by the state superintendent of banking,
stated that the bank is closed pending an ex-
aH1ination of its affairs. The bank has de-
posts of about 81, $50, 900, which it is be-
lieved will be paid in full. 1t is understood
that the bank was compelled to close be-
cause it had to take a good deal OF real
estate for loans.
THREE masked men, armed to the teeth,
entered the Bank of Montpelier, Idaho, and
covering the cashier and his two assistants
with their revolvers, emptied the safe of
about 10000. Teller Mcintosh was struck

robbers carried off the plumber in a sack.

the alarm n the sheriff, with a strong

giving its employees a strong object lesson
in the effects of free silver. At Pittsburg the
company paid them by check on the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers bank Of Pitts
burg. When the holders went to the bank
last week to get the cash for their checks
they were surprised to receive silver dollars.
One engineer who has been preaching sill
yer received III cartwheels as his wages.
He made a vigorous complaint, but had to
tax the silver. The a officials say they
are overloaded will silver and want to
work off the surplus. They paid out SIT 900
in silver last Thursday.
THE city of Cleveland, o., was visited by
a violent wind and rain storm last Wednes-
day. The wind reached a velocity Of sixty
eight miles an hour. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires parted like straws, wagons
were overturned, and the air was filed
with flying debris. The greatest excite
ment prevailed all along the lake front.
the storm was the "Avock," which was
far out on the lake and Is missing. The
clipper Of Cleveland" went down at the
mouth Of the river. There were five men
aboard, but all were rescued. The " Sprite,"
just arrived from Toledo, struck the pier at
the l~ife-saving station and capsized. The
"Trilby - was overturned in the basin with
four men aboard. They were expert swim
mers and made their way ashore. A large
propeller went ashore at the foot Of On

In accordance with cabled instructions
from his government, the Italian ambassa-
dor at Washington has asked the state de.
partment for official information regarding
the recent lynching Of three italian sub
jects in Louisiana. The state department
has promptly called on the governor OF
Louisiana for a full report of the occur
renee in order that suitable reply may be
made to the ambassador. If it can be found
that the Italians were naturalized Ameri
can citizens the inquiry will stop, as the
Italian government can no longer take any
interest in the affair; but II, as in the case
of lynchings Of Italians in Louisiana and
Colorado, the men are shown to be aliens to
the United States, an indemnity will un-
doubtedly be demanded and congress asked
to appropriate for that purpose as it did in
former instances. Secretary Olney's policy
is to give to other powers exactly the same
treatment as he insists upon when American
citizens meet with indignities abroad.
If you have ever seen a little child in the
agony OF summer complaint, you can re-
alize the danger Of the trouble and appre.
ciate the value of instantaneous relief al.
ways afforded by DeWitt's Collie and
Cholera Cure. For dysentery and diarrhpa
1t is a reliable remedy. We could not at
ford to recommend this as a cure unless II
were a cure. W. K. Terrill & Co., Mont
