ASSURE CURE FOR GROUP.
twenty-five Years Constant Use without a
Failure.

The first indication of Group is
hoarseneSs, and in child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarSeneSs is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hOarSe, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many
thousands of homes in this broad land
and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn of a
single instance in which it has not
proved effectual No other prepare
tion can show such record-twenty-
five years constant use without a
failure. For sale by f. L.Steib & Co.

HOTEL DESTROYED BY FIRE
The American, Genesee, N. ",
Burned Tuesday.
TWO MEN KILLED BY THE SMOKE.
A Woman Also Supposed to
Have PeriShed.
Miss schriencr, Waitress Employed In
the Hotel, Says She Was Awakened by
Two Men Plottingto Set Fire to the Build
ing, and Saw Them Running Away.

Cienesee, N. Y, May s.--The Ameri-
can Hotel was destroyed by fire at an
early hour today.
At first, it was thought that all the
guests had escaped from the burning
building, but search after the fire had
been gotten under control resulted in
the finding OF the bodies Of La Fayette
Carney and Sherman Deboray of West
Sparta on the third floor. The bodies
were not charred, the men having evil
IDENTIFY been suffocated. 1t IS thought
that a woman also lost her life, but
her identity is unknown, and the body
has not yet been found.
Miss Sohriener, a waitress employed
in the hotel, says she was awakened by
hearing two men plotting to set fire to
the building. The men were in an alley
that runs alongside Of the hotel. She
arose, and saw the men running away,
and almost immediately the building
was discovered to be on fire. The flames,
which started in the rear Of the estab-
lishment, near the kitchen, spread with
great rapidity.
Many Of the guests had narrow
escapes. and most of them lost every
thing except their night clothing. Miss
Skidmors, a niece of the proprietor,
jumped from veranda, and was seri-
ously injured. James Sweety jumped
from second story window, and sus-
tained broken ankle. Others were
slightly injured.
The loss to the building and its con-
tents is S10,0 to S15, 600.

BOERS GOING NORTH YARD.

But Their Immediate Destination Has Not
Been Ahcertaiiied by the British.
London, Eng, May s.-The follow
ing dispatch from Lord Roberts has
been received at the War Office:
'Smaldeel, May THE railway
frori Brandfort to this place has been
considerably damaged, and the bridge
over the Vet River has been hopelessIy
damaged. This delays supSlies coming
up. Every few YARDS, charges OF racka.
rock had been laid under the rails.
This might have created loss of life,
but was fortunately discovered by a
West Australian infantryman. Winturg
has been occupied by the Highland
brigade. +"
In spite of these wrecked railroads.
the British advance goes on steadily.
Lord Roberts outposts are appal emily
about IL miles north OF Smaldeel, and
Gen. Brabant has joined Gen. Rurdle
at 1haba N'Chu whence they are
moving forward. The country is all
quiet in that direction. A reconnois-
sance made Gen. Rumble of the Boers'
recent operations at Thaba N'Chu re-
suited IN their being pronounced I'M
pregnable, and their evacuation is re-
ported 10 nave been due to the receipt
Of an urgent message fiom President
Steyn. The Beers are said to be
moving northward, but their i'm
mediate destination is not known.
The Whereabouts of the British cavalry
under Gen. French is still mystery,
while Gen. Kelly -kenny's and Gen.
Chermsides divisions are also un-
accounted for.
A dispatch from Cape Town, dated
today, says: Lord Roberts phe.
nomenal advance is not only utterly
demoralizing the Boeis, but is striking
terror into the rebel colonisis. The
relief OF Mafeking is exI ected at any
moment" The Cape Town CORE
spondent is slightly optimistic as re-
CARDS Mafeking. Judging from the
direct dispatches, The British forces
south of Mafeking are still nearly 2O(
miles from their objective, while the
latest adyices from Mafeking, datec
April Goth, show little moderation il
the conditions there.

manded that he be reinstated. Super.
intendent Watson. refused, and asked
Clifford why he had not turned in hin
reports for week past. Clifford drew
from his hip pocket revolver, and,
with the remarks "These are my ro.
ports shot the superintendent Watt
son tried to rise from his chair, and, as
he did SO, Clifford shot him again. in
the back. Clifford's trial began on

THE NEW STAMP BOOKS.
Proving a Great Convenience to Busines
Men I'm This City,

Proving Great Convenience to Business
Men in This City.
The rew stamp books which were
recently placd on sale in the local post
office, are, proving great convenience to
business men and as result the de-
mand for them is good.
The Postotiice Department, at Wash
ington, is receiving the first monthly
report on the sales of The books. The
general opinion from Eostmasters is
that the idea is good one. The first
sales in some places were phenomenal.
In Washington and Philadelphia the
supply was exhausted in the first half
day. This was surprising, and it was
several days before the depar tment
could get boks enough to meet the
demand. The most liz teresting thing in
connection with the stamp books is the
fact that mechanically they were not a
complete success. 1t was supposed that
tine sheets of paraffine paper placed
between each sheet Of stamps would keep
the stamps from sticking together, but
this idea did not work.
When the mucilage on the stamps
got warm from the heat of the body the
stamps stuck TO the paiailine paper, and
| it became necessary 10 use mucilaee
accident Assistant Postmaster General
| Madden discovered that paper saturated
| in iinseed oil would not stick to stamps,
and now the sheets OF tissue in the
books are soaked in linseed oil. Another
| change that is likely to prove popular
convenience is the use of different
colors to designate the number oi
stamps in book. The ~ stamp book,
that costs % cents, will be In red; the
"a stamp book, costing 40 cents, In
blue, and the AS stamp book, costing 81
cents in buff. These colors may be
changed for reasons of convenience, bui
the idea will be put into operation or
the next supply of books. The Iost
office clerks have found difficulty II
distinguishing the various looks, which
arc all bound in manila paper. In Q
number Of cases clerks lost by this con
fusion. gave out books Of the higher
numter of stamps for the price o.
smaller hooks.
