There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last lew
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a constl-
tutional disease, and, therefore, re-
quires constitutional treatment. Hall S
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J..
Cheney & Co, Toledo. Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

The Peoples Meat Market, hereto,
fore owned by MIR. William Hooking,
has been transferred by him in salts
faction of mortgage, to Mr.. VIM. P.
Beers. Mr.. Hooking, who has always
followed the occupation of mining,
started this shop for his son, William,
a little more than year ago, and made
the mistake of entrusting the entire
business to an inexperienced boy. The
result is to get the business in a de-
plorable tangle, and the boy has left
the country, with a very badly added
head and left his parents heavy losers.
Mr.. Hooking, who has proven himself
thoroughly honest, is making every eff
fort to straighten out affairs and pay
off all obligations. The accounts due

The DeLamar Thespian Society has
been reorganized and will give the first
of series of entertainments in short
time, the date of which will be made
known next week. Very few people
who have had no experience in the
business have any idea of the time and
work required to prepare a piece for
production; and in DeLamar where
there is no suitable hall and necessary
fixtures, it occasions much more work
and expense. There are but few
sources of amusement in DeLamar,
and the Thespian Society should be
we'll patronized by our people here.
The price of admission will be placed
at so cents for adults and p cents for
children, while those who wish seats
reserved can secure them by paying %
cents extra. The roster Of the society
will appear next week. The officers
are, VIM. Plummer, President; Mrs.

urer; Geo. NJ. Away, Stage Manager.

ore, taken from the mine within the
last few days, which surpass any of
this character of ore we have seen. Mr..

some of these pieces, which make beau

from this well known property are of
a very encouraging character. Ship
ments from the mine are now regular
occurrences. A load taken out yester-
day of 100 saks, surpassed any former
shipment in value.

BERLIN, August 1.-The devastation
caused by the floods in Silesia is wide
spread. Nothing like it has occurred in
that district for century. The loss al
ready reaches many millions of marks. 1t
is estimated that hundred persons have
persisted by drowning in Silesia and Bohe
mia.
At Loebtan town hall recently built
and two other large structures have col
lapsed The rivers are still rising. At
Isohl the people are leaving their houses.
1t is feared that the great Elizabeth bridge
will be swept away. A large bridge at
Laufen has been torn down by the floods.
As result of mountain slide on the
southern slope of the Koppen, one of the
Riesen-G ebirge peaks, six persons were
killed.
Twelve mill operatives, while crossing
bridge at Thiemendorf, near Chemnitz,
were swept off the bridge by sudden rise
of the river All were drowned.

Mosquitoes Invade Delaware.

GEORGETOWN, DEL, August An
army of Jersey mosquitoes has crossed the
Delaware Bay, and taken possession of
Lower Sussex county. The pestiferous
insects made their appearance last Monday,
and have been tormenting people of this
section day and night The plague they
have caused has become so bad that the
summer camp-meetings which were to last
ten days have been temporarily suspended.
On Friday night while Rev. Joshua Abb
bott was offering prayer at a colored
camp-meeting near Grayely Hill, flock
of mosquitoes attacked him, and flying
into his mouth, caused him to choke al
most to death, and put stop to the ser
vices. The plague has caused the negroes
to become wild with superstition. Many
of them pray all day for it to cease. The
negroes believe that the plague is the fore
runner of big drouth, during which the
world will be burned by the sun. The
plague has assumed such proportions that
tonight this town, Milton and Lewes are
in darkness, the residents of each having
agreed not to burn or permit to be burned
a lamp or gas Jet after shutdown.

Death and Desolation in a Cyclone

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, July 81
Death and desolation followed rapidly in
the wake of cyclone which swept across
this section of the country last night.
Seven persons were killed outright and
three fatally injured.
The day had been one of great oppres
siveness. The heat had been almost un-
bearable, and only those whose occuIa-
ton brought them out on the street were
to be seen.
In the evening the clouds began to pile
up in black, ominous banks and the air
became more oppressive. The clouds were
accompanied by vivid flashes of lightning
which seemed to rend the heavens and
loud crashings of reverberating thunder.
In many instances occupants of houses
took refuge in their cellars.
just before Z o clock funnel-shaped
cloud separated itself from the others and
came rushing with frightful velocity to-
ward the town. The house and barn on
the farm of DIR. A. c. Mcdowell lay di-
rectly in its path. The Mcdowell home
stead was torn in fragments. The barn
met the same fate, and with its contents
was swept out of sight Inside the house
the family of DIR. Mcdowell, consisting of
five members, had taken refuge, together
with Mrs. Samuel Browniee and her three
children and Miss Jessie Groves, the
daughter of neighbor, who had come to
the McDowells to spend the evening.
When the cyclone struck the honse every
thing it contained was swept in every di
rection. Buried beneath the ruins were
all the occupants of the house.
Following the cyclone came deluge of
water resembling cloudburst.
Neighbors who had witnessed the de-
struction Of the Mcdowell homestead hur-
riedly summoned assistance. Those who
were alive beneath the ruins were taken
out as soon as possible, and carried to
neighboring farmhouses, where their in
juries were given medical attention.
The dead received the next attention.
These we're DR.. A. c. Mcdowell, Mrs.
Samuel Brownlee and her three children,
Jessie Groves and grandson of the Nc
Dowells. Their bodies were fearfully torn
and maDgled by the force with which they
had been tossed about in the ruins of the
house. The cyclone also struck the farm
Of John Mcdowell, but did no damage
there beyond destroying his barn and a
fine walnut grove. The house escaped
the cloud, which passed within a few feet.
