FLOOR GOES DOWN.
thirty Persons Dead by a Disaster at
London, Ont


=, Ihirty persons are known to have been
Aiiied and many injured by the collapse
VI moor IN the city hall at London, Ont,
MONDAY night. The night closed the mu-
hicipal campaign, and at the close of the
poAs crowd gathered in the city hail.
"here 1t has been the custom for years
past Tor the successful candidates to adj
dress the electors.
1he building was crowded to the very
doors, probably 1000 people being jam
hed III Its narrow space. There was
iuii IN the proceedings when the audience
calied for several of the newly elected
aldermen at once, and there was some de-
lay IN securing speaker to address them.
AID. Carrothers joined the Mayor in an
effort to secure quiet In response tc
numerous calls r. NJ. Toothe was pushed
forward to the platform on which the
speakers stood. AS he reached it there
was an ominous cracking and the raised
platform on which the Mayor and newly
elected aldermen were seated seemed tc
pitch forward to the floor
There was a sagging of timbers and the
next moment hundreds of people were
hurled twenty feet to the floor below. A
Deam running twenty feet along the CEN
Ter OF the hall had given way and the
crowded mass standing above that section
of the floor was thrown in a heap to the
basement. A large safe stood in one cor
ner of the hall, and, with a huge steam
coll weighing half a ton, came crashing
down on the heads of the victims.
Following the crash there was a wild
rush for the doors. At the south door,
where the majority of the crowd had en-
tered, there was terrible panic. Those
In front were thrown down by the on
coming rush, all shrieking and fighting
for the door and safety. Only one-half
OF the rear door, a space probably three
feet wide, was open. In the mad rush no
| one thought to open the door il it's en-
tirety, and 500 people struggled through
the narrow space, the strong bearing down
| the weaker
Several men lowered ropes and endea-
vored to haul the wounded out of the pit.
From under the massed weight of the
| broken beams came many cries for help.
| The windows on the ground floor were
| broken in, and the living and the dead
| were tenderly passed to the waiting am
| bulance.
An investigation of the wreck after the
catastrophe disclosed the fact that whole
| section of the floor had dropped, the joists
having been as neatly cut off as if the
work had been done with a saw. The
building was an old one. having been
erected in the early sos, and Of late years
additional stories had been placed on the
old walls.

Will Prevent Flow of Blood.

The arrest Of bleeding in surgical
operations is now said to be assured by
means of an instrument due to the in
genuity of Lawson TAFT. A platinum
wire, so arranged as to carry current
of electricity, is Enclosed in the blades
Of pair of steel forceps or any other
required instrument, the wire for this
purpose being insulated by bed OF
burnt pipe clay. This arrangement be-
ing perfected, a current of suitable
voltage is turned on, the artery seized
and compressed, and in few seconds
the tissues and arterial walls are so ag-
CULTIVATED that the passage of blood is
rendered impossible. The tempera ture
employed is about $50 degrees Fahren-
heit, the fact being thus apparent that
the principle involved in this device is
different from that Of electrical cauter-
'zing instruments.-New York Tribune.

DUPLICATES SUMS LIGHT.
Marvellous Invention Claimed by a
LoEansport, Ind, Man.


A Logansport, Ind, inventor has con-
structed lamp that he claims will super
sede electricity, gas and all other forms
of artificial illumination, because of its
cheapness and utility.
The light is sealed up like bottle Of
perfume and the inventor claims that it
will last forever. 1t may be compared to
q bright electric fame or gas jet, bottled
in a glass sphere and forever remaining
the same.
The inventor is S. B. Nickum, who for
the past three or four years has kept
himself locked up in his rooms. 1t has
been known by many that he was working
on some kind Of an invention, but the ma
tule of the same has been a secret up to
the present time. The device is now so
perfect, in the mind of the inventor, that
the facts have been given to the press.
The process by which this new light is
produced the inventor will not at present
make public He claims that the new
lights can be made of almost any bril-
liancy. from the size of a pea to that or
the most powerful arc lamp. The light
is q beautiful, never-changing, never
Pickering white light. There are no wires
and no electric current used. When not
in use the light can be placed in bureau
drawer or any convenient receptacle till
needed.
The light is kept constant by the sur
rounding moving -air-Nlckum
SAYS but the globe is cold, there being no
loss of heat or movement from the lnte-
rior to the exterior. There is no posi-
bility of fire resulting from the use OF
the light, for the very instant there is a
crack in the globe the light will go out.
It could be broken in a key of gunpoWder
without the slightest danger of an expio-
sion. The cost will probably not greatly
exceed the first cost of the incandescent
light in present use.

INDIANS IN A FRENZY.
Enraged Seminoles Likely to Take the
Warpath.

Enraged Seminoles Likely to Take the
Warpath.
A bloody uprising of the Seminole In
dams is imminent An alarming state Of
rioting and hatred exists owing to the
burning at the stake by whites of two
members of the tribe. Unless immediate
steps are taken by the United States au-
thorities the Indians may go Oh the war
path Both the Indians who were burned
came from respectable Seminole families,
and their fearful fate has aroused their
friends and relatives to frenzy.
The crime which led to the burning Of
the two men was committed on last
Thursday. Marcus McGeisey was the
owner of some property. On his land
lived white family named Simmons.
During the absence OF the husband on
Thursday McGeisey went to the Simmons
cabin and asked for Il drink Of water.
Mrs. Simmons was at home with her
four small children. The Indian was
given the water and he then asked for
saddle. On being refused McGeisey seiz-
ed the woman, who had her baby III her
arms and dragged her out of the house.
When the woman attempted to run away
the Indian seized Il Winchester rifle and
dealt her a deadly blow on the head,
crushing the skull. The woman died in
stantly.
The feeling was so bitter that the crowd
would not be satisfied with the ordinary
method of lynching, and it was voted TO
burn them at the stake The victims were
accordingly chaned to an oak tree. renee
rails and dry wood were then piled hlgh
above them, and in a few minutes the
Indians were wrapped in roaring flames,
while the timbers cracked beneath thelr
feet. Never word did the Indians utter
while being roasted alive. They appar-
emily saw that they were powerless to re-
sist and endured their lot like stolcs.
The crowd was composed of not over
thirty men, and the work was done IN
quiet but thoroughly determined manner.
| According to late information the mop
| work is not vet finished, and will only De
completed when four more Indians nave
| been dealt with in the same manner us
| McGeisey and Simpson.

Two Bad Habits.

Taking strong coffee to cure head
ache is like taking whisky to cure the
shakiness which is one of the effects of
whisky. It seems to do it, but the re-
suit is deceptive. The cure becomes Il
new cause and you are worse off than
before. Better stop coffee altogether
and use Grain-O, the new food-drnk.
Whereas coffee is not a food at all, but
only nerve-fooling toxic stimulant,
Grain-O is preparation Of pure grains,
palatable, nutritious and absolutely
harmless. 1t is thoroughly satisfying,
four times cheaper than coffee, accept
able to the most sensitive stomach and
free from the constituents which make
coffee damaging beverage. Drinkers
of Grain-O are never kept awake Of
nights-not by that anyway. Ask your
grocer for q 15c. or 25c. package.

equipment there are many days that a
shortage of cars is severely felt.

BAD DIGESTION, BAD HEART.

Poor digestion often causes irregularity
of the hearts action. This irregularity
may be mistaken for real, organic heart
disease. The symptoms are much the
same. There is vast difference between
the two; organic heart disease is often in
durable; apparent heart disease is durable
II good digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the New
Era, of Greensburg, Ind. Mrs. Ellen Col
som, Viewpoint, Ind. woman forty-three
years old, had suffered for four years
with distressing stomach trouble. The
gases generated by the indigestion press
ed on the heart, and caused an Irregular
ity of its action. She had much pain IN
to frequent and severe choking spells,
which were most severe at night. Doc
tors were tried in vain; the patient be-
came worse, Respondent, and feared I'M
pending death.

A Case of Hest Failure.

She was much frightened, but noticed
that at intervals in which her stomach
did not annoy her. her hearts action be-
came normal. Reasoning correctly that
her digestion was alone at fault, she pro-
cured the proper medicine to treat that
trouble, and with immediate good re-
suits. Her appetite came back, the chok-
ly ceased. Her weight, which had been
greatly reduced, was restored, and she
now weighs more than for years. Her
blood became pure and her cheeks rosy.
This disease is common one, and that
others may know the means of cure we
give the name of the medicine used-Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.

No Difference.

Physical troubles of a like nature
coming from different causes are often
puzzle to those who suffer pain as to
their treatment and cure, as in the case
of lumbago from cold or strain in
some way to the same muscles. The
treatment of such need not differ one
with the other. Both are bad enough
and should have prompt attention, as
nothing disables so much as a lame
back. The use of st. Jacobs Oil will
settle the question. It's efficacy is so
sure in either case there is no difference
in the treatment and no doubt of the

Lifeboat Idea Ridiculed at First.

One of the attractions in the village
church at Hythe, England, is stained
glass window, in memory Of Lionel
Lukin, inventor of the lifeboat. Lu-
kin's body lies in the parish churchyard
and a curious inscription records his
connection with the invention. He
took out patent in 1875, but the con-
servative lords of the admiralty saw
nothing good in it, and it was not recog-
nized by the government for some time
thereafter.
