same man who successfully foated
several dollars worth OF these
checks among the business frater-
nifty of this city.
From present advices he is at

of his bill. The check was for $40,

the check and gave the stranger the

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. l gave it such remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for physician and it was under his
care for a week. At this time the
child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty
five operations of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were con-
WINGED that unless it soon obtained
relief it would not live. Chamber

Remedy was recommended, and l
decided to try it. l soon noticed a
change for the better; by its con-
tinued use a complete cure was
brought about and it is now per-

Shortly after o'clock this morn
ing the residence of Monroe Carpen-
ter back OF the depot was discovered
on FIRE. The blaze must have orig
mated in the interior of the build
ing as the flames were bursting out
through the door before it was dis
covered. An alarm Of fire was sent
in and the fire department respond
ed promptly but they were unable
to render any material assistance
and the house with its entire con-
ents was destroyed.

The building was a cheap oil
country structure, and by the time
the fremen had arrived three sides
of the wall had fallen in. The water
pressure was lacking and the fire
laddies were completely handi-
capped. The origin of the fire is
not known. Mrs. Carpenter had
lett home to visit her husband at
Elk Fork on Thursday evening.
The fire might nave been caused by
gas explosion, but is believed the
blaze was the result of FIRE bugs"
We understand that Mrs. Carpenter
has to do washing and other work
for living and the loss to her will
doubtless be very severe.

AFFAIRS IN SAMOA.
The Chief Justice Will Select a
King for the Islands.

APIA Samoa, Nov. 26.-(Via San
Francisco, Dec. 14.)-Considerable ex-
citement was created here November
10th by the landing of a party Of blue
Jackets from the British and German
warships. While no serious trouble is
anticipated at present, the representa-
tives of the Powers thought it wise to
make a demonstration, owing to the
number of natives who have congre-
gated at Mulinuu, SO as to show that
the Powers had determined to protect
the white residents.
The party landed at Matautu and
marched through the town, headed by
the German band from the Buzzard,
with the drum and fife corps from H.
M. S. Porpoise. After making the dis
play to the natives, both parties re-
turned to their respective ships.
The chiefs supporting Mataafa have
notified the Chief Justice that they
have elected Mataafa as King Of Sa-
moa, and that a protest has been lodg-
ed by certain other chiefs who dis
pute his election. High Chief Tamas-
ase has been nominated for the vacant
throne by the opposition faction, and
the whole matter has been referred to
the Chief Justice for decision Upon
that official will depend the selection
of the new King for Samoa.
