To the Venerable II. w. Bliss, at Noon

At noon yesterday Mr.. T. w. Bliss,

known Masons in the United States,
met with very serious accident, the
results of which are awaited with anx-

grounds surrounding his house. where
a frame coal house Is located. This
stands on ground lower that the street.
as the hillside slopes to the south.
Mr. Bliss was expecting a load OF coal.
and as the wagon was about to drive
up he mounted TO the roof of the build
ing by short ladder and began to re-
move some of The boards comprising
the roof, that the coal might be
thrown in from the street. While thus
engaged a board slipped firm its SUD
port on one end Of the building. and
Mr.. Bliss fell, distance of ten feet,
alighting Upon pile of coal. The &C
cident was discovered in few min
utes, and the coal driver, assisted by
Mr. Bliss daughter and granddaugh-
tiers, carried the but partially con-
scious victim into the house. He's
bleeding profusely from his left

Victim of an Accident I'm the Oil
Fields Brought Here Yesterday.
Frank Park, who was seriously In
jured by an accident occurring in the
oil fields in Wetzel county, on Tues
day about noon, was brought to the
city yesterday and taken to the Has
kins hospital, on the South Side. 1t
is learned that Mr.. Park was at work
on the Hervey Bros producer and
was standing near the derrick where
lot of nitro glycerine was being
thawed out The heat becoming too
intense the glycerine exploded with
terrific force and the unfortunate man
was blown against sled some dis
lance away and sustained frightful In
juries, which will in all probability
prove fatal. He had his hip and back
crushed, his face and head lacerated
and was hurt internally.
Last evening the attending physi-
clan at the hospital stated that Mr..
Parks condition was most serious and
that there were no hopes for his re-
covery. He is about thirty-five years
of age and married. For a number of
years he has been employed in the oil
fields in different parts of the State.

DOES NOT DIsAPPoINT.

The New Discovery for Catarr
Seems TO Possess Remarkabl
Merit.
A new catarrh cure has recently
appeared which so far as tested
has been remarkably successful In
curing all forms of catarrh,
whether in the head, throat, bron-
chial tubes, or in the stomach and
liver.
The remedy is in tablet form,
pleasant and CONVENIENT to take,
and no special secrecy is main
tained as to what it contains, the
tablets being a scientific combina-
ton of Guaicol, Eucalyptol, San
guinaria, Hydrastin and similar
valuable and harmless antiseptics.
This safe and effective catarrh
cure may be found at any drug
store under name of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets.
Whether the catarrh is located
In the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes or stomach, the tablets seem
to act with equal success, remov-
ing the stuffy feeling in head and
nose, clearing the mucous mem
branc OF throat and trachea from
catarrhal secretions, which cause
the tickling, coughing, hawking
and gagging so annoying TO every
catarrh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to
liberation, in some cases to such
an extent as TO destroy the nose
entirely and in many old cases of
catarrh the bones of the head be-
come diseased. Nasal catarrh
generally extends to the throat
and bronchial tubes and very Oft
en- to the stomach, causing that
very obstinate trouble, catarrh of
the stomach.
Catarrh is systemic poison, in
herent in the blood, and local
washes, douches, salves, inhalers
and sprays can have no effect on
the real cause of the disease. An
internal remedy which acts upon
the blood is the only rational treat
ment and Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets is the safest of all internal
remedies, as well as the most con-
venient and satisfactory from a
medical standpoint.
DR.. Eaton recently stated that
he had successfully used Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets in old chronic
cases, even where liberation had
extended so far as to destroy the
septum of the nose. He says:
81 am pleasantly surprised almost
every day by the excellent results
from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
1t is remarkable how effectually
they remove the excessive secre-
tion and bring about a healthy
condition of the mocous MEM
brane of the nose. throat and
stomach.
All druggists sell complete treat
ment of the tablets at 80 cents
and a little book giving the
symptoms and causes of the var
ious forms of catarrh will be mail
ed free by addressing F. A. Stu
art Co., Marshall, Mich.

A MIX White Flag.

Hoyt's satire on the MALTA entitled
"A Milk White Flag" is a coming at
traction. This is one of those rollick-
ing, rosy, riotous kind of comedies that
engulfs one in veritable maelstrom
of boisterous laughter, and the inter
est and hilarig run until the fall of
the curtain on the last act. There is
said to be delightful freshness about
the whole production. 1t has been
provided with new scenery and cos
tunes and much of the comedy has
been revised and rewritten and brought
strictly up to tn times. The principal
roles are in the hands of competent
people who make the best of every OPP
portunfty. The music is bright and
catchy and a shade or two above that
usually heard in similar produc-
tons. There is a never ceasing flow
Of fun and laughable situation; the
costumes are exquisite, and above all
the choruses are rendered by young
men and women who possess good
voices apd attractive manners. "A
Milk White Flag" comes to the Opera
House Wednesday evening, March 7th.

Germ, controls five branches, operat-
ing in North and South Dakota, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arkansas
and Cuyahoga county, o., including
Cleveland, and employs s22,00O,0 900
