FIRE UNDER CONTROL
Four Men Were Prostrate When Res'
 cued from the Flames

Calumet, Mich, May 2S.-Fire which started in No. shaft of the Hecla branch of the Calumet and Hecla mines last night is under control but has worked its way to other parts of the shaft. Four men were prostrated when rescued but are im- proving.
 The shaft house in No. 2 was torn down in few hours and the opening covered with heavy beams. The shafts adjoining are being similarly covered. The gas is working through the entire mine and is coming through fifty acres of surface from the innumerable crevices in the earth caused by the gradual caving of the older workings near the surface.
 The Calumet and Hecla is the richest copper mine in the world and is valued at $75, 100000.
 It has shafts over a mile deep and en- ploys 5000 men. Over 5000 men are idle owing to the fire.

fully battle the poisonous blood.
 " "Slowly but with perceptible gain, the discharge grew less, the inflammation disappeared, the sur rounding skin took on a more healthy color, and what a short time before had been a mass of raw flesh began to scale over and gradually thin skin formed and the scales dropped off. Not scar or blemish around the eye, neck or back or anywhere on his body is to be found, and now at eight months old he is as bright, healthy and full grown as any child of that age. Less than two bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla, aided by Hoods Medicated Soap and Hoods Olive Ointment, accomplished this wonderful cure.
 "I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards Hoods Sarsapa- rilla and your other medicines for the good they accomplished in my baby's case." MRS. N. GUERTNoT, 37 Myrtle St., Rochester, N. Y.
 For the cure of all blood diseases and Spring Humors, Hoods Sar- saparilla is unequalled. Try it.

wailing was heart-rending. It nearly crazed me, weary and worn-out as I was from constant watching and nursing. The dis charge of matter was so profuse that it was necessary to dress his back three times a day. Every time the bandages were removed blood would flow and for a time even powders and different salves did not check the trouble. It be- came necessary to wrap the little body in silk. When the trouble appeared at its height our anxiety was increased by the ap- pearance of a boil just outside the lid alongside one of his eyes. We feared lest the scrofulous mat ter get into the eye, and even if his life was spared to us, that his sight would become affected.
 "I had about given up hope of saving my baby, when l was asked why I did not try Hoods Sarsaparilla. Eager for anything that held out hope, I procured a bottle of Hoods. I also got a cake of Hoods Medicated Soap and box of Hoods Olive Oint- ment. I immediately laid aside all the doctors medicines and

 Weather Cloudy at Washington
 In Washingon the weather was slightly cloudy, which somewhat marred the op- portunities for getting a satisfactory ob servation. The eclipse arrived just few seconds ahead of schedule time, but the irregularity was so slight that an ordinary observer could not have discerned it. The trained star gazers claim that the contact came from five to eight seconds before it was due, but the difficulty of telling just when the actual contact began was so great because of a cloud which passed, that even they cannot quite agree among themselves. They do agree, however, that it was one of the most remarkable predic- tions in the history of astronomy it being doubtful If ever before the time of the ar rival of an eclipse was so accurately an- nounced in advance. The first contact was scheduled to take place at A minutes and seconds past o'clock meridian which is
 
 than Washington time. A few seconds be- fore that time the edge of the sun and moon were in contact, but it was several seconds later before the naked eye looking through smoked glass could tell that the eclipse was actually taking place.
 From the moment of first contact until the period of nearest approach to totality at exactly 9 o'clock the light faded grad ually until the city was in condition of haZy twilight.
 Matches at the Observatory,
 The watchers at the observatory gazed at the phenomenon through 26-inch and a 12-inch, and a 12-inch equatorial telescope, while another official used comet finder. There were no attempts at photography, as all the instruments for such purposes was to catch and record the time of the first and final contact. and the exact moment of the nearest approach to totality. At ex- actly o'clock 90 per cent of the suns face was observed. The final contact was scheduled for 16 minutes and 16 seconds past 10 o'clock Each of the three watchers got a different time One of them recorded 16 minutes and 10 seconds another sec onds, and the third seven seconds, the dis crepancy being due probably to difference in the strength of instruments.
 Unofficial reports which have reached Washington, indicate that the eclipse was visible to a greater or less degree In its entire path of totality. Particularly fortun- ate were the observers in the southern sec ton of the country where the weather seemed to be unusually favorable In some of the southern cities during the period of totality stars were visible almost directly overhead. In Richmond a most striping feature of the eclipse was a short but bril- liant rainbow on the west or contact side of the sun. 5G
 The phenomenon was the more surprising as there were not a cloud in the sky

 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day. and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need medicine you should have the best.
