ports the discovery that a dangerous
European scale insect, not hitherto re-
ported on this side of the Atlantic, has

The truest words We ever speak
Are words of cheer.
Life has its shade, its valleys deep;
But round our feet the shadows creep.
To prove the sunlight near.
Between the hills those valleys sleep
The sun-crowned hills;
And down their sides will those who
seek
With hopeful spirit, brave though meek,
Find gently flowing rills.
For every cloud silvery light;
God Wills II so,
For every vale a shining height,
A glorious morn for every night,
And birth for labor's throe.
For SHOWS white wing verdant field,
A gain for loss;
For buried seed a harvest yield.
For pain strength, a joy revealed,
A crown for every cross.

Trouble In an Important Part of the 0rganiza-
ton Affects All the Rest-A Perfectly
Harmonious System Easily
Thrown Out of Gear.

Organized labor has reached such a
stage that anything affecting a particular
branch of it draws all the rest into the
difficulty.
1t is exactly the same way with differ
ent organs of the human body. Work too
hard, eat too much drink too much, ex-
ercise but little, be little irregular in
any way, and the liver quits work
Then the bowels become constipated and
the stomach goes on strike The heart is
affected, the brain follows suit, and every
part in the body is dragged into the
trouble.
The only way out of It is to go at the
source of all this-the liver. Square your
self with the liver and all will get back to
regular natural work.
Cascarets Candy Cathartic make things
right with the liver. They perfume the
breath, prevent food from souring on the
stomach, give tone to the bowels, strength
en- the intestinal muscles, while they are
cleaning and stirring up the liver to re-
newed activity.
No matter how long case has been in
durable, Cascarets are guaranteed to put
things right as they should be, and set
the whole machinery a-going. And you
can get them at any drug store or by mail
for price-10c Csc, or SOC. Address Sterling

Business Portion of tho Colorado Town
Swept Away.
Cripple Creek, Colo, Aug. 23-Fire
has utterly DESTROYED the business por-
ton of the city of Victor, causing ii
loss estimated at $4,000. 900.
Beginning shortly alter noon, the
fire ragged until evening, consuming
everything in its way. 1t had its origin,
1t is thought, in the Merchants Cafe,
adjoining the Bank of Victor, on the
corner of Third street and Victor
avenue. A strong wind from the south
famed the flames. and in few min
utes all the surrounding houses were
afie.
Help was summoned from Cripple
Creek, but the town had been built in
the early days of the camp, and was Of
pine timber for the most part, and
burned like paper. Efforts were made
to stop the progress of tie flames by
blowing up buildings by means OF dyn-
ANTE, and all afternoon the streets
have roared with the explosions, but
the effort was In vain.
The residence portion of the citv las
suffered comparatively little, but the
business portion is para yzed and suf-

area may be roughly designated as the
space between the head of Fourth street
and Victor avenue, extending from tlA

to point near Second street, and down

Loudon, Aug. 23.-There is no long
er any doubt that President Kruger
has refused to submit to the demand
of Mr.. Cham berlain for the appoint
ment of court of inquiry. He may
have done SO automatically or hcd,.-
Ingly. But that his answer is regard
ed by the British government as tanta.
mount to positive refusal, is now an
established fact. The colonial Office is
noncommittal. but there are other evil
dences which amply justify the state
ment. The report that President
Kruger has proposed new terms is
somewhat verified by the guarded COM
ment OF the colonial office officials and
the irr!tablity displayed there. There
is not the slightest doubt that they
now believe wal is the only way to set
tie the controversy.
They would far rather have had
curt. defiant answer, than the tempo
izing answer which tho BOer pres dent
has sent. With tho former Great
Britain would have plain grounds for
quick commencement of hostilities.
Under the circumstances, which it is
believed now exists, aggressive action
needs considerable explanation to justi-
fv it in the eyes OF the world and tho
English minority who still declare war
would be an outrage. However, if Mr..
Cham berlain has is way. it is believed

has been aware Of the nature OF the

Gated to the war office, hence it is prob
able that Great Britain will DELAY de-

A high official expressed to repre-
sentative of the press his disgust at
what he termed "Kruger's cupdity
and hypocrisy" He said:
'The kind of game which Kruger is
playing must be clear to Americans.
The protestations of tie Beers that
they wish to live quiet agricultural
life. may be the tune of some Of tho
Veldet, but the gang in Pretoria rs-

dent Kruger says many harsh things of
the Uitlanders, he never hesitated to
make money ont of them, either by
fair or forl means.
This Transvaal question cannot he
