SIX THOUSAND HOMELESS IN HULL.
The City Swept by Flaming Bosom. Part of
Ottawa Destroyed.

Ottawa, Ont, April 26.-(S30 p. nj
The city of Hull has been burning since
noon today, and all that remains at the
time Of this writing is a small corner in
the east end of the city, and before long
it, too. will be in ashes. There are few
houses standing in the suburbs OF the
burned city. Hull has a population of
about 10000 people and more than half
of them are homeless tonight. The en-
tire business part of the city, including
the court house, postoffice, public build
ngs and newspaper offices is one mass
of ruins. The population is almost en-
tirely composed of people who work in
the mills or who derive their business
from those works. The fire crossed the
Ottawa River in the afternoon, took
held among the lumber piles on the brink
OF the river and extended to the lumber
yards and mills. The result is that the
whole of that part Of Ottawa known as
the Chaudiere Flats, surrounding the Ca
madam Pacific Railway station. where the
lumber mills are all located. is fire swept.
The only building standing in the whole
area is that of the Ottawa Carbide Fac
tory, which is newly erected and fire.
proof. From the flats the fire extended
across the Richmond road on to Rochest-
erville and as far as the experimental
farm. Westerly the fire took in Hutton
burg and Mechanicsyille. so that on the
ottawa side Of the river there is a larger
area covered by fire than on the Hull
side. II is estimated that. at the present
time the number of people homeless in
the two cities and suburban towns is not
less than 1900, and it may reach $1,000.

BURNED TO DEATH IN HER HOME.
Woman Falls Victim to the Flames Un-
known Man Found Dead
(By the Associated Press }

Ottawa, Ont, April 26-In Hull the
fire has about burned out. The business
portion is all gone and over half the resi-
dences. The Roman Catholic Cathedral
has been saved together with Eddy's

of communication between Ottawa and
Hull is by boat. From o'clock the

Chief Benoit of the Hull fire brigade,

Hospital in Ottawa. The fire originated
through fire in a dirty chimney and
the high wind caused the flames to spread
rapidly. Coming to the Ottawa side of
the river and that portion Of the city

of the city. Unless a heavy wind rises
the remainder of the city is safe.
The bucket brigades of the military and
the Montreal fireman with their engines

dition to the losses mentioned there is
that OF the Export Lumber Company

Chaudiere. Their loss will be very heavy
but is fully covered by American and
English companies. A prominent lumber
man is responsible for a statement that
the price CT lumber would certainly be
raised on account of the fire.
The casualties so far reported are

GOOD REASON FOR IT.
The Success and Popularity Of the New Catarrh
Cure.

The remarkable success and popular
ity of the new catarrh cure. Stuert's
Catarrh Tablets, is largely because it
not only cures catarrh. but because ca
tarrh sufferers who use these tablets
know what they are taking into their
systems: no secret is made of what
they contain. They are composed of
Hydrastin. blood root. guaiacol ana
red gum. are pleasant to the taste and
being dissolved in the mouth they take
immediate effect upon the mucous
lining of the throat, nasal passages
ard the whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets have accomplished in old chronic
cases are little short of remarkable
and the advantage Of knowing just
what you are taking into your system
is of paramount importance when it is
remembered that the cocaine or NOR
phine habit has been frequently con-
, tracted a the result Of using eecrc. ca
tarrh remedies as so many Of them are
we'll known to contain these injurious
drugs
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with
the approval and cordial support Of
physicians because their antiseDtic
character renders them perfectly safe
fer the general public to use and
their composition makes them com
mon sense cure for all forms Of ca
tGrrnal trouble.
With nearly all advertised catarrh
cures it is a matter of guess work as
to what you are taking into the
stomach, as the proprietors. while
making all sorts of claims as to what
their medicines will do. are very care
full to keep it a close secret as to what
they really contain.
This is one reason why Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets have been 50 widely
recommended, because they are not
only pleasant and convenient to take
but the patient also knows he is not
putting into his stomach anything of
an injurious character.
These tablets are sold by druggists
everywhere in the United States and
Canada at 80 cents for complete treat
ment and probably there is no better
remedy ever devised for the perma :
nent cure of catarrh whether located
in the head. throat. bronchial tubes or
in the stomach.
