"Some Punkins."

Mr.. Seldom S. Stowe, upper Fourth
street, told us the details of very ex-
citing pumpkin story yesterday.
The story goes, that last spring he
planted two pumpkin seeds of var
iety unknown, and that the seeds took
root, and grew as did Jacks famous
bean stalk. Instead of going sky
wards, the pumpkin spread nearly
over the entire Fourth ward. One
vine was IS feet in length, and its
branches measured 80 feet. On this
wonderful vine there grew IT'S pounds
OF Thanksgiving pie stuff. % of the
pumpkins weighed 1862 pounds. In al
there were about fifty pumpkins.
The Captain will enjoy pumpkin pi'
the balance of t-e season, and hi
neighbors will doubtless frequentl.
have the same dessert.

A Narrow Escape.

On Monday morning about $50 the
fire department was called out by tel
ephone to John Rowell's house on
Fifth street above Warren. There
was some delay in getting started,
caused by the lack of information as
to where the fire was. However, ow-
ing to the prompt action Of some of B.
E. Stoehr's workmen, who used chem
ical extinguishers taken from his
place, the fire was extinguished with
out much damage. This shows the
value of the chemicals and should
point moral to everyone, that more
exemption from disastrous fires can be
had by the ready use Of chemical ex-
tinguishers. In this particular case
the house couid not have been saved
by the fire department If the blaze had
beeh allowed to proceed until their ar
rival. AS it is few dollars will re-
pair the damage, - -
The fire was caused by a pan of
LpGrning sulphur SET onrthe foors the
boards being light and infanable
pine were soon on''fire and the place
between the joists and studding made
a good draft chimney, causing them to
burn rapidly.

Arbitrators Settle.

BY the burning of the veneer and
panel works l.sRarkersburg, the COM
pany claimed a loss Of $4,000, which
claim was refused by the insurance
companies. Arbitrators were appoint
ed WHO reported total loss of ST.
0S5,sQton which the company, had $780,
16S.05 insurance. But according to the
arbitrators the insurance was i'm
properly distributed and therefore, the
veneer company lost part of it, as
they were allowed only $14,25O.

The house was not packed, but it was
very good audience, and the people

The opera was we'll staged and cos

by strong chorus.
Altogether it was one of the best
presentations of any comic which has
been sung in this city.

III health is a luxury that only
the rich can afford, and that no one can en-
10y. Every woman Is not so situated that
she can be an interesting invalid, or rather,
an uninteresting invalid, for there never
was an interesting one.
The woman who suffers from weakness
and disease of the distinctly feminine or
woman can suffer in this way and be a
healthy, happy amiable wife and compe-
tent mother. Troubles of this nature sap
the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines
of suffering upon the face, destroy the tenn
per, make the once bright eyes dull and
the once active brain sluggish, and trans
form vivacious woman into a weak, sickly
invalid.
The one sure, speedy, permanent cure
for all disorders of the distinctly feminine
nature is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
II acts directly on the delicate and import
ant organs concerned, and makes. them
cures the internal liberation and infamma-
tion that give rise to debilitating drain on
the system. It Is the best medicine for
overworked, rundown women.
About six years ago my wife became afflicted
with female weakness" writes the Rev. l. ].
Coppedge of Elmo Kaufman Co., Texas. she

bottles of DR.. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription and
has been we'll and happy for twelve months"

When klondIke and Kansas Meet

John Peirce has always borne the
reputation of being quite story tel
Ter, says the Sioux City journal. He
told one to few friends a few DAYS
ago, and it seemed To be new to all
of them MIR. Peirce said he was
standing in the lobby " hotel when
a man from the Kiondike came in.
He was the object of considerable at.
tention from the men in the place,
and several entered into conversation
with him or course, they wanted
to know about the Klondike. One
OF the party, n little fellow, finally
said:
sThey tell me it gets pretty cold
up in that country. Is thot trueY''
Yes, it is" was the reply
''How cold does it get -
-oh, / have often seen it get down
70 20 degrees below zero, and stay
there for days at a time"
Gosh" said the little man. Il
should think everything would
freezem
"Not only froezes, but stays frozen
was the reply. DO you know. sir, l
cooked on an ice stove mp in that
couniry for two weeks and it never
thawed ont"

PORTO RICO NEXT.

is that this has been accomplished-th
word must be "Off for Porto Rico."
Whether our news columns give US re-

the word OF command must be "On to

The reason for this is obvious. We
can handle Cuba at our leisure, and
when the climatic conditions are more
favorable. We have disavowed any in
tention of taking Cuba to occupy it
other than for the purpose of pacifying

ANOTHER DISTINGUISHED AMER
ICAN.

Another distinguished American has
been heard from. True, up to July
Sd the world had not heard Of him.
He was practically an unknown guam
tity in the economy of the nation. He
had neither official nor high social rec
ognition. Indeed to tell the truth, only
a few Americans knew that he had been
born, and the fates had given US no in
timation of his advent. But he is here
all the same, and just now is sharing
the public interest to a considerable de-
gree He is the most remarkable living
illustration of the truth Of the words
Of the immortal bard, Some are born
great, some achieve greatness, some
have greatness thrust upon them" In
the case Of Francis Porcusach great
ness was thrust upon him, and
probably he was the most astondshed
citizen of the American Republic when
on the Dist day of June, Ammo Domini
1898. he found himself suddenly ele-
waited from the walks of the humble
citizen to the high rank of Governor
General Of the Ladrone Islands. To-
day he dWells in the Governor Gener-
ais palace and his word is law TO the
people of that section of Micronesia.
Above him waves the Stars and Stripes,
around him are willing native soldiers,
who with glee and shouts of freedom,
tore the Spanish buttons from their uni
forms as "Old Glory went aloft over
their bit of Gods footstool where the
Don has SO long tyrannized over them.
Hail to you, Governor Porcusach. We
do not know much about you, but you
are safe American, else you had not
been thus invested with the robes Of
high trust. Honor to you, Porcusach.
It's not an AngloS Saxon name, but you
are an American respected General, and
that is enough to know. We greet you,
Governor General. and with your un-
sought honors thick upon your shoul-
ders, we expect you to bear yourself
with the nlodesty Of true greatness,
and to maintain the honor of the flag
against Spain and all the rest Of the
world
