The pain that sometimes strikes a
man at the most iuOpportune moment
is due to Indigestion. 1t may come in
the midst of a dinner and make the
feast a mOckery. 1t is a reminder
that he may not eat what he chooses,
nor when he chooses. He is a slave TO
the weakness of his stomach. A mans
health and strength depend upon
what he gets out of his food. This
depends on his digestion. Remove the
obstruction by taking DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are a positive
cure for constipation and its attendant
ills-headaches, sour stomach, fatu-
lence. dizziness, biliOusness and "heart-

in their action. They simply assist
nature. They give no violent wrench
to the system. They cause no pain,

the surrounding country yesterday fore
noon, while simultaneously the wind
rose and grew TO the proportions of a hur-
r1cane until at i y. m. the Glenwood
Manufacturing company as a matter of
precaution shut down Its mills for the
day. While there were no fires in the
city proper and no fear of fires in out
lying districts at the time OF closing the
mills, the men had hardly arrived at their
homes when great column OF smoke, dust
and sitting, hot winds began 10 roll over
the hills into the residence portion of the
The fire company was brought out
TO fight the approaching fires and by 6
p m. had the flames under control.
"A gentle rain commenced at this time,
putting the city cut of further danger.
There seemed very little material for the
nre to consume, but SO intense was the
heat and smoke caused by burning grass,
woods and stumps in the outlying dis
tricts that several people were Frustrated
In the city. There was no building on
fire in the city at any time, but the
smoke was so dense tina rumors got
abroad that the buildings on various
streets Were on fire and on exodus of
PEOPLE begun for points outside the city.
In the surrounding country considerable
damage was done TO logs, timber and
farm property. At Camp IA on the line
OF the Glenwood IL Northeastern railway
a hah-million feet OF logs valued at $1,000
were burned. while several railroad
bridges and a few hundred cords of wood
belonging to the same company were con-

1t came in a minute and lasted about
twenty. The rain fell In torrents, flooded
the streets, put out the flying cinders, and
best OF all, gave a little hope 10 panic
stricken people. The rain alone made it
possible 10 save the West side. Nothing
could save the lumber yards, mills or
houses already burning; the rain never
touched those fires, the heat was too in
tense.
At 10 o'clock the people again took
courage and moved back 10 the city.
They fought hard and saved the West
part of the town. From this time on the
wind gradually abated and the fire was
confined TO the burning buildings.
The people now began TO breathe easier.
Those owning homes near the fire districts
went back and endeavored TO save them
from destruction. The heat was still In
tense, but the rain had put a damper on
everything and IL was much easier to
prevent the spread of fire from sparks
and cinders. The burning of the lumber
yard now presented an imposing sight,
the flames rising TO a height of fifty feet.
Thos not actively engaged in fighting fire
gathered on the principal street and
watched the burning of the lumber piles,
while a few of the more thoughtful insti-
tuted an inquiry to find shelter for the
homeless and discover, If possible, If there
had been any fatalities. Up TO a late hour
this afternoon no fatalities were reported,
although one farme named Peter Eek
lund. living south of the city. was caught
in the fire and was so badly burned that
his recovery is doubtful.
The total loss in the city will aggregate
about $1,000 600. The loss falls principally

A hurricane OF FIRE swept through Bar.
ron county yesterday. For the past
week fires have been burning 10 the
south and west of Cumberland and the
village of Almena, and yesterday after
noon o l o'clock a violent wind set
in from the southwest. Tie smouldering
hres were famed into raging flames
bearing directly on Cumberland and In
an hour the city was completely shroud-
ed in smoke. Large burning cinders
were driven over the city from the south
and gave timely warning to the lnhab-
itants.
Everybody was called out to make n
fight against the oncoming flames. IN
two hours from the commencement OF
the gale the whole timbered section to
the south and west was a mass of flames.
The gale increased TO "a hurricane: the
smoke became denser and by A o'clock
1t was impossible TO see across the street
In any part of the city. Burning embers
were falling like rain and igniting the
marshes and dry trees in close vicinity
20 the town. Every one realized the
mature or the coming fight, the houses
were vacated and the families gathered
around them ready TO ~extinguish the
falling cinders. With the roar of the
coming flames in their ears and the
smoke making the day darker n dark

BURNED In HIS WELL
sad Fate Of n Farmer-TotaI Losses
Million and a Half.

- WIhf
Frm Ss. Paul Pioneer Press
Rice Lake, Wis, Special, Sept. 30.-The
forest fires in this vicinity are nearly
abated. but great damage has been
wrought for miles west OF this city. Nels
Nelson, a farmer living eight miles west,
emp TO save himself by going into
his well. The well house caught fire and
his tody was found to-day horribly
burned. In that locality teams hitched TO
wagons could be found burned 10 death
along the road. The highways for miles
are literally covered with dead animals.
The fires seemed &c a in great paths,
ranging from half a mile TO four miles
in width. The losses farther westThave
been ever greater than anywhere in this
vicinity.
1t is estimated that the losses in Bar.
ron, Polk, Washburn and Sawyer coun'
ties has been at least one million and a
half of dollars. Lumbermen northeast of
the city have suffered heavy losses by tho
fires. Alfred and James Johnson, of the
johnson Bros. Lumber company, who had
a mill and lumber yard seven miles west
OF his city, had "a narrow escape from
being burned to death. They were caught
along the road near their mill and were
unable to escape the flames. They were
very badly burned. but will recover.
They lost their sawmill, lumber yard and
horses. Their loss is about $ 5000; no in
surance
1t is not known whether any more lives
were lost. Several people are missing,
but only one body found. People were
driven from their homes without saving
any OF their household effects, with moth
ing but the clothing they had on. Many
women and children had narrow escapes.
Fully fifty farmers have lost everything
and are left destitute in this vicinity. 1t
is estimated that fully ten thousand tons
Of hay besides grain, other products and
farm machinery has been destroyed. 1t
is impossible to get full reports from the
towns in the burned district. as all tele-
phone and telegraph wires are down. 1t
Is thought when reports are all in the
losses will be found much greater than
reported.

hundreds OF men this city was saved
from destruction. Everything was dry
as finder. and the wind blew a gale. The
loss In the city Is only three small barns.
Within a few miles fifteen families lost
their homes and everything. Five miles
from here a man saved himself, wife and
three children by taking them to the
bottom of a forty-foot we'll. Sewers
horses and cattle were burned to death.
The fire ran with terrible rapidity. at
times faster than a horse. T~hirty-seven
hundred lords OF wood were burned at
two stations within six miles west Of
here. To-day has been quiet. but pro.
tective work has been continued here.
