Millions of Fish Eggs.

Whitefsh eggs have begun to arrive
at the United States fish hatchery in
Duluth. and will continue arriving for
some time. It is expected that the
total hatch of all sorts of eggs this
year will be about 200, 600, 900, of which
nearly all will be whitehsh, wall-eyed
pike and trout of the various varieties.
This is far larger number than has
ever been handled in the place before,
and more than is to be found in many
of the larger hatcheries of the country.
During the summer considerable
money has been spent in building trout
ponds and making other arrangements
for taking care of larger number of
eggs and the winters work is expect

ST. Louis, Nov. 2s.-A special to the
Republic from Perry, o. T., says: Prai-
RE fires have played havoc in Oklahoma

bales of cotton and 500 head of cattle
and hogs. He estimates his loss at $780,
900. Millions of tons Of hay in bale and
bulk have been burned in other sections
and no less than 100 residences, have
been destroyed. Several lives have been
lost in these prairie fires. In the KioWa
Indian reservation strip of land 30 by
IS miles was burned over, causing great

 "Four days later I had the happiest hours had known for years. That night went to sleep easily and slept soondly as a child and awoke refreshed.
 After I had taken four boxes of the pills, found that was cured and had also increased 27 pounds in weight.
 This greatly surprised my friends, who thought my case was hopeless one. be- gan my work again and have continued ever since in excellent health.
 Another valuable gain to me was, that while was taking these pills had been cured of the smoking habit, which had formed when was a boy and had clung to me all these years. The craving for tobacco left me and have never expe- rienced it since.
 "I cannot say enough for these pills and have recommended them to many"
 To verify this statement MT. Harrington made affidavit to its truthfu1ness before Lincoln N. Coy, Notary Public.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People strike at the root of disease by acting di- rect1y upon the impure blood. Their power is marve1ous and many wonderful cures have been made. Druggists consider them potent remedy, and all sell them.
