Last Saturday night about II
o'clock the fire department was
called to the residence of Col. H. G..
Evans, on West Seventh street. The
smoke-hOuse, which is situated Just
back of the residence, and in which
quantity of meat was being smok-
ed, was in bright blaze. A strong
wind was blowing from the south,
and, had it not been for the prompt
arrival and efficient work of the fire
company, serious confagration
would have been the result. The
smOke-house, with its contents, was
valued at $50, and was uninsured.
The rear part of the residence was
damaged to the extent of about $50,
but this was covered by insurance.
Col. Evans praises the fire COM
pany highly for their work.

On bleak street was an iron plate IN

and most scantily dressed.
As she crouched over the warm plate
an Unlocking cur came drifting down

CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM.
VAO06 V1 1S30O Ou1xA 1010s
Origin of This Troublesome Disease
and How to Relieve It.

The cause OF rheumatism is Tactic
acid in the blood To this acid are due
the aches and pains, the swollen
joints, the sharp, agonizing tw.1ge..
rheumatism affects the limbs, arms,
back and hips, car sng misery day and
night; stlffness of joints, lameness,
swelli,::Ings, agony. Rheumatism can be
cured only by purifying the blood. Do
not waste time and money on lini-
ments or other applications. Do not
daily with unknown medicines. Cure
rheumatism at once, surely, safely,
promptly, permanently, by purifying
the blood with Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Thousands of cures of this and other
blood diseases conclusively prove that
Hoods Sarsaparils has wonderful
curative power. The great merit of
Hoods SarsapariIla has given it the
first place among medicines. 1t is the
reason for its wonderful cures 1t is
the explanation of i's enormous sales.
Hoods Sarssrarila stands not only
upon its record OF cures in the past,
though this is unequalled by any other
medicine, but it is to-day curing thou
sands of cases of catarrh, rheumatism,
scrofula, dyspepsia and many other
blood diseases. 1t is to-day the medi-
cine which the people take to give
them health, strength, pure blood,
good appetite and digestive power.
