PUSHES AUTO FIFTEEN MILES.
Milwaukee Man Makes II Record Hunting
Gasoline for His Vehicle.

Milwaukee, Sept. 19.-Frederick
Bredel. a civil engineer Of this city,
holds the long-distance record for push
ing automobiles. At 4 o'clock in the
morning he arrived in this city, hav
ing pushed his Boston gasoline ma.
chine fifteen miles in oh. 40m. The
record is even better than it looks, for
he had the extra handicap of a young
lady guest.
This is believed to surpass anything
ever before accomplished in this coun-
try. Mr. Bredel and his guest went to
Waukesha i'm the conventional style OF
auto-riders. They tried to come back
the same way, but the gasoline gave
out. They were stranded on a deep
hin in II farming country ut 10 o'clock
at night. There was no help to be
found, and Mr.. Bredel could not get
any gasoline for love or money. The
young woman had to get home, so Mr..
Rredel put his shoulders to the wheels
and started his slow journey to town
and gasoline. Farmers refused to
lend him horses. and the first place
to give him gasoline was an all-night
drug store in the center of the citv

Hazleton with Father Phillips trying
to bring about settlement.
Influence of Pastors.
The majority Of the miners at Haz-
Teton are Catholics and Archbishop
Ryan and Father Phillips have great
influence with them.
President Mitchell insists that all
the questions raised by the men shall
be settled or none at all. He says no
piecemeal agreement, which will not
include I'll the operators and all the
questions raised, will be considered,
as partial settlement would mean
defeat for the miners. SO far no seri-
Gus clashes have been reported, the
only outbreaks being unimpOrtant
brawls where little damage was done.
The miners leaders insist on the i'm
pOrtance of good order and no resort
to violence rs the best method of gain
ing. support of the public.
Trainmen Not to Go Out.
1t is doubtful if trainmen or work
ers in the bituminous mines will give
more than moral aid to the strikers.
However, il is certain thousands Of
railroad employees will suffer, and this
may lead to complications and a
strike is not improbable later.
Probably 1000 railway employees al
ready have been made idle by the
strike, and If the situation grows more
serious some decided action is expect
ed to aid the miners. So far n num-
Der of trades bodies have promised
financial support to the coal diggers.
On the other hand, the operators in the
bituminOus field are giving no aid to

Pain in the body is often only the out

the nervous system is starving. Put the
stomach right and the pains will cease,

medicine made which can equal Doctor

the quickness of its action on the stom-

THE PARROT FIRE.
One Store House and Contents
Burned. Two Other Build
ings Caught.

What came near being the most de-
structive fire in the history of the
town occurred at PARROT last Tuesday
night. Heroic work alone saved the
majority of business houses of the
prosperous little village from being de-
stroyed.
The store house occupied by Messrs.
H. J. Turner Il Co. was discovered TO
be on fire about $50 o'clock in the eve
ming. and as soon as the alarm was
given all who could hurried to the
scene OF the coniagratiOn. A stiff
breeze was blowing from the southeast,
and for this reason it looked almost
impossible to save the adjacent store
house of Mr.. j. w. Tilley. AS the
town is without a water system the
bucket brigade's protection was all
that could be afforded.
By dint of good work Mr.. Tilley' s
store and Whaiey & Cooks ware
house, both of which caught several
times, were saved from the fires
ravages.
The burned building was really
made up of two store houses, but both
were occupied by Messrs. H. j. Turner
& Co. The building was owned by
the Sale-Davis Drug Co. of Albany,
and was not insured, the loss being
about 81 900. There was $1,000 insur
ance on the burned stock, which was
valued at about So, 500.
The cause of the fire is supposed to
have been that combination from which
SO many disastrous blazes have origi-
nated-rats and matches. When first
discovered the fire was licking through
the roof near the rear Of the store, and
it was in this part of the building that
several cases Of matches were stOred.
