Those who have taken Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla are the ones who are competent TO
speak OF its merits.
The testimonials OF cures by Hoods
constitute vast mass OF test imony which
proves the power Of this medicine TO cure
a great variety of diseases.
These cures often seem marvellous, vet
they are perfectly natural and are easily
explained. They are the necessary result
of purifying and enriching the blood.

my life, and it effected my eyes so that
was obliged to remain in a dark room. I

lust as the new year was ushcred into ca
istence, the citizens of Humboldt were ,wak
ened by the cry of fire, and hurried Down
town only to see the brick school house a
mass of flames. The fire started in the north
east corner Of the building and spread so
rapidly that it was impossible to do anything
to fight the flames. The origin Of the FIRE is
a mystery, as there had been no school for a
week and the gas was turned off. OF course
there are all sorts of surmises ranging from
rats to tramps but nothing is known. The
building was insured for $4,000 but the Heav-
lest loss will be on the school children, near

the companies happened to give minstrel
shows, while the third had little farce Which
was so well acted that it gained the first
prize. Fortunes and Up jenkins occupied
the fore part of the evening and delicious re-
freshmerts were served between acts
