AUGUSTA VISITED BY ASERIOUS FIRE Cotton Warehouse and 1000 Bales of Cotton Were
 Destroyed

Augusta, Ga, May Sire broke out in one of the storage compartments of the Union Compress building at l o'clock to- day. The blaze had gained sufficient headway to cover the roof of the building before the alarm. could be responded to-
 An alleyway about feet wide sepa- rates the company's and Phinizy & Com pany'S warehouse. A stiff breeze in a short time swept the flames over the heads of the firemen to this building, in which was stored 1,20O bales of cotton. From here it was blown to Whitney & Company's warehouse and seemed beyond the control of the department. In the Whitney warehouse there were 2500 bales stored and soon the whole was a roar ing mass of flames. The walls of this structure were the only ones to give way. Had 1t not been for this the fire depart ment could not have stopped it where they did.
 The losses on contents were as follows: Whitney & Company, $105,000; Phinizy & Company. $50, 400; Compress Company $,- 900. The loss on buildings is about s100,- 900. The. cotton Is fully insured.

New Causes of Appendicitis.
m the Los Angeles Times.

From the Los Angeles Times The attention of the French medical world is now turned to appendicitis First there was a paper read by Dr. Champion niere, to the Academy of Medicine, in which he declared that appendicitis fig of ten. the result of intestinal poisoning. caused by influenza Now comes a pa- per read before the same academy by Prof. Metchnikoff of the Institute Pas teur, in which he states that the disease Is due to the presence of certain worms in the intestines, and their penetration into the vermiform appendix. The Paris correspondent of Chicago paper sen z the following outline of tse professor $ theory.
 Prof. Metchnikoff's conclusions are the result of ten years of observations, in- cluding microscopic examinations of the excreta of persons suffering from the dis ease, and also examinations of appendix extracted from patients who have been operated upon. He says that during lato years the periodical taking of vermifuge medication has been generally neglected by the public and to this he ascribes tho present greater frequency of the malady
 "He also points out that another cause of its great frequency is the increased consumption of raw fruits and salads. which are hurriedly raised in gardens near cities where sewage likely to contain eggs of intestinal worms is used as ma- nure.
 "He advises in cases of suspected ap- pendicitis a helmantholgic examination of excreta, vermifuge medications and the absolute elimination of raw fruit, par ticularly strawberries and raw vegetables, from the diet. He also says that only
 
 tered must be drunk.
 The statement that raw fruit and vegetables are a cause of appendicitis contrasts singularly with Dr. Chamblon- niere's diatribe against an excessive meat diet as being contributory cause. But. paradoxical thought 1t may seem when thus presented. the distinguished scient- ists are by no means contradictory. Dr. Championniere says Purge Prof Met chnikoff says take vermifuge incidence ,"

Mormons are Liberal.

New York, May S.-Senator Thomas Kearns of Utah, who has been abroad since March 19, returned tonight on the Majestic. When asked about the report that the Mormons were going to secure control of the State, he said:
 That kind of talk has been going on ever since went out there. I was elected by the Legislature, and I am gentle. Another gentle was also elected, and another is Congressman. The Mormons are liberal, especially the young generation. The time has come when there should be no lines, Mormon or gentle, but all should work for the development of the State."

 ITS STEEL PLANTS
Policy of the United States
 Steel Corporation
SHEET MILLS DlSMAN TIED
A Brisk Demand Is Reported for Sheet Steel and the Productive capae- lty of Plants Is To Be En-
 larged.


 New York, May s-If the present plans of the United States Steel Corporation are carried out large number of the smaller and unimportant underlying plants will be dismantled and removed to places where the more prominent works of the combine are located. This will be the policy of the Steel Corpora ton relative to the standardization of it's business near the trunk lines with which it is closely related.
 Nearly all the underlying mills located in districts with poor shipping facilities and remote from the principal sources of raw supply, it is said. will be moved to Pittsburg and other districts.
 The Chester Mills of the American Sheet Steel Company are being disman- tied and the machinery shipped to Van- dergrift. Pa. This will give the Wander grift plant six additional mills, making 35 in all The Vandergrift works and the Bridgeport, Ohio. works are the two largest underlying concerns of the Sheet Steel Company. It appears that these places are to be the principal centers of operation.
 The directors of the Sheet Steel Con- pany have authorized improvements at the Aetna Standard plant. at Bridgeport. That will make it the greatest sheet mill in the world.
 The works will be gradually enlarged. Ground will be broken soon for two sheet mills and two jobbing mills.
 Brisk Demand.
 At the offices of the Sheet Steel Com pany it was said today that the demand for their products was greater than the supply and that larger productive ca pacity was necessary. There have been no recent changes in the nominal quota tions for sheet steel, although it was ad- mitted that much higher prices could be obtained on orders for early delivery.
 Similar removals are expected from the Federal Steel, American Steel and Wire Company in American Tin Plate and other concerns. While this policy will serve to benefit towns and cities where the big plants are located. the dis tricts abandoned will suffer.
 A report has been in circulation for some time past that the United States Steel Corporation was negotiating for control of the Crucible Steel Company Of America. This Is denied. An official Of the latter concern said today:
 We do not conflict In any way with the United States Steel Corporation. We manufacture few of the lower grades of steel but the quantity can be likened to grain of sand in comparison with the pro duction of the Morgan concern
 He confirmed the report that an inde- pendent crucible steel plant will be erected in the Pittsburg district at a cost of S1 100000. James w. Brown of Pitts burg, formerly vice president of the Cru cible Steel is back of the project.
 It is said officially today that so far as the Republic Iron and Steel Company is concerned there Is nothing to indicate that a consolidation of the Southern iron and steel companies is contemplated.

"A Simple Internal Remedy Makes Remarkable Cures of Catarrh.

Catarrh Tables, because they contain no cocaine nor other dangerous drug found in so many advertised catarrh cures. l have known of many cases of long standing catarrh,of the head and throat completely cured by the daily use ofthese tablets for several weeks. One case in particular, which l could not reach with aninhaler or spray and where the catarrh caused daily headaches and a noticeble loss of hearing was entirely cured by this harmless but effective remedy"
 Dr. Wainwright says: T never hesitate to prescribe Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for catarrhal headaches and catar- rhal deafness because l know them to be perfectly safe for child or adult and have seen many remarkable cures re- sulting from their regular dai- ly use; because they are ad- vertised and sold in drug stores is no reason why. any good physician should not US. them because we should seize upon the means of cure wherever found"

People who have used sprays, inhalers, salves and washes for catarrh and have found how useless and incon- venient they are, will be agree ably surprised at results fol- lowing the use of pleasant, internal remedy in tablet form; druggists everywhere admit that Stuart s Catarrh Tablets which they sell at 50 cents for ful-sized treatment is, the safest most effective and pop ular of all catarrh remedies.
 Nearly all cheap cough mixtures and throat ozenges contain opiates: these cheap medicines give a temporary relief, especially with little children by destroying nerve sensation; the irritation in throat, which causes coughing is temporarily removed, not by removing the cause but by deaden in gthenerves of feeling, the irritation is not felt al-. though it is still there and will promptly return.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is the best remedy to remove catarrhal secretion, whether in the nose, throat or stomach because they are composed of wholesome antiseptics like Eucolyptol, Guaiacol, Sang uiraria and Hydrastin; when you use these tablets you know what you are putting into your system and not taking chances with cocaine, opiates or similar poisons found in so many catarrh cures and cough medicines.
 Dr.Rarnsdell in commenting on catarrh cures says: M can heartily recommend Stuart's F.A. Stuart Co.,,
