HEADLIGHT
On n Locomotive Strangely Broken
by q Pigeon.

CAIRO, ILL.,, Jan. Pa singular accident
happened to an engine On the Iron Mountain
railroad When express train No. 81 pulled
headlight on the engine was broken, and on
the inside apparently perfectly at home,
pigeon was perched on the SIDE of the lamp
When the train left De Soto, the headlight was
intact and the trainmen are satisfied that it
was broken by the pigeon.
This seems somewhat singular, for It takes
a good blow to break a glass Of that kind
aud it would have killed the bird. But the
headlight was broken and the bird was safe
ly on the inside, unscratched and unhurt
The strange occurrence happened in broad day
light, so that the bird was not attracted by the
light. +t'

Some Narrow Escapes and Possible
Loss of Life.

Loss of Life.
SYRACUSE, n; Y, JAM 25.--Fire tonight
destroyed the Dillaye block and part Of the
Butler block, and damaged the Keller block.
The following stores were burned out: w.
W. Kimball company, pianos and organs;
New York Cloak House; 9Pamer's millinery
stores. Total loss about 100000, mostly in
sured.
The intense cold and heavy gale Of wind
made fire fighting the hardest kind of work.
The flames were confined within hight walls
and 1t was impossible to reach them with
streams, except from the Salna street front.
Finally lines of hose were laid on adjoining
roofs, and after five hours Of work the flames
were controlled.
The store of J. W. Yale & Co. was crushed
by the falling of the roof of the Butler block.
Col. ]. W. Yale, Mrs. Wesley Yale and Mrs.
George X. Frazer, prominent society people,
were in the store on the ground floor. The
falling timbers cut them off from the street,
and as the rear of the establishment was a
mass Of flames, they made their way through
masses Of debris, finally escaping by the cell
lars of adjoining property. Two women and
man were seen at the top Of the Dillaye
block just before the roof fell but it is
thought they escaped by the rear.

Latest Invention,

This illustration shows our new
patent current regulator to which we
call special attention, because Of it's
vast Importance to the wearer of an
electric belt. By means Of this at
tachment the current can be made mild
or strong while the belt Is on the body.
The patient Is thus enabled to regulate
Its power so as to get that even, con-
1nuous current that tones and in
Vigorates without the unpleasant burn
Ing, which is a feature of all other
makes Of belts. Being simple, durable
and efficient in its action this regulator
Is one Of the many features which
have made DIR. SANDEN'S ELEC-
TRIO BELTS famous. No other cleo
trio belt made has this at
tachment and therefore none other
is capable Of giving the same
satisfactory results. For full inforna-
ton read DR.. Sanden's Book, Three

DEATH REGISTRATION.


A most important act, which will be-
come operative August 10Th, was pass
ed by the last legislature that should
be thoroughly understood by every in
habitant OF the state whether residing
in cities or townships. 1t is an act TO
provide for the registration of deaths
in Michigan and that certificates of
death shall he made and promptly re-
ported To the proper authorities. How
important it may be TO every family
visited by the sadness Of death can be
determined by the first section of the
law which reads as follows: 'The
body of no person whose death occurs
in the state shall be inferred, deposited
in vault or tomb or otherwise dis
posed of, or removed from the township,
village or city in which the death oc
Cured, until permit for burial or
removal shall have been properly is
sued by the clerk of the township, viii
lage or city in which the death occurs,
who shall be the registrar of deaths. "
This act makes township clerks and
clerks of villages and cities response
BILE for the issue of certificates of death.
Sec. says: whenever any person
shall die, the undertaken, householder,
relative friend, manager of institu-
tion, sexton or other person superin-
tending the burial of said deceased
person, shall cause a certificate OF
death to be filled out with all the per-
sonal and family particulars required
by this act, and attested by the sigma
ture OF relative or some competent
4rerson acquainted With the facts The
physician who attended the deceased
person during his last illness shall fill
out the medical certificate OF cause OF
death, which death certificate shall be
delivered to the registrar within the
time designated by the local board of
health" " There are provisions in the
act prescribing how to proceed when
death occurs without an attending
physician, or when the person comes
TO his death under suspicious circum-
stances and when the health officer is
not physician The death certificate
is required to contain the date Of
death, name, sex and color of deceased,
whether married, single or divorced,
birthplace, full names of both parents,
and the signature and address Of the
undertaken The medical certificate
specifies the cause OF death, and other
history OF the patient, and must give
signature and address OF medical at
tendant, health officer or coroner GER
tifying to cause of death. There is a
provision in the case of deaths in town
ships which says. "Said certificate
and permit shall not be required before
burial in townships where it is imprac
ticable to obtain the same within "A
reasonable time after death, but in all
such cases said certificate shall be
obtained within ten days after death.
The penalty provided for any official
failing or refusing to perform his duty
under this act, or any undertaken who
shall violate any of its provisions,
shall, upon conviction, be punished by
inc OF not less than five dollars and
not exceeding one hundred dollars, or
be imprisoned in the county Jail not
exceeding thirty days, or suffer both
fine and imprisonment, at the discre-
tion of the court.

A newspaper which constantly abus-
es its local contemporaries, says the
Eaton Rapids Herald, is weakling
without influence. The fact that ii
constantly assails a rival is proof of
jealousy, which is generally caused by
the success OF the assailed. If any one
seeks the standing of newspaper he
has only to see If it is in the category
of assalant or assailed. If in the for
mer it has few readers and seeks by
constant barking at its successful rival
to get itself into notice. The news
paper-the paper that people like To
read-has very little space to devote
To abuse of rival concerns. 1t uses its
