Details of the Big Fire at Jefferson
Sheriff Assaulted in His Ofiice-Mi1-
1er's Long Fall-Snakes Found in
Narinctte City Water.

Fire the other day destroyed about 49,
900 worth of property in Jefferson, and it
looked for a time as if the entire city
would be destroyed. The blaze was start
ed by a spark from a locomotive in the
plant of the Wisconsin Manufacturing
Company 1t was discovered shortly be-
fore / O'Clock and had a good Roadway.
1t quickly enveloped the entire plant of
the manufacturing company and the
sparks were flying all over the city, set
ting fire to buildings in different parts.
There was panic among the people.
Believing the entire town was going,
they rushed to save what they could.
The local fire department was unable to
stop the flames and when Mayor Henry
saw the danger the city was in he sent
word to GAINESVILLE, Fort Atkinson AMI
WATERFOWL. Each of these places re-
sponded to the call and sent companies.
When they arrived the fire looked as if it
were going to sweep the main street. The
town hall was burning. Mayor Henry's
residence and that of o. j. kerchenstein-
or and other buildings were in flames.
Mayor Henry succeeded in qu.etng the
panic and directing intelligent effort to
fighting the main fire, and it was under
control at 3 O'clock. The principal losers
are the Wisconsin Manufacture Com
pany, chairmakers, $4,000, with $500
insurance; the Episcopal Church, ST.
coo; the town hall, $4,000; Mayor Hon
rvs residence, 81 800, and a number of
minor losses, which will foot up about
$4,000

A D|SGRACEFUL AFFAIR.

There was scene of uneXampled
violence and disorder in the British

had been closured, after a single
nights discussion, devoted wholly to
English education. There had been
an understanding that if the evening
was given to English education other
questions would be discussed at a sub.
sequent sitting. John Redmond, Mr..
Dillon, and other older hands of the
Irish party had left the house, under
derstanding that no further business
would be done, and some of the
younger, less experienced Irishmen be-
came desperately excited over Mr.. Bal
tours attempt TO overreach them.
There was no time for deliberate coun-
sci, and IL was decided that they should
refuse to go into the division lobby
when called upon by the chair to do so.
Speaker Gully was called in, and the
names of 10 Irishmen who had DISC
beyed the chairman's orders were taken
down and they were named for sus-
pension. At this a terrific tumult
arose and the services of 90 policemen
was required TO remove the Irish mem
bers from the house.

East Randolph, ~ Y, March IL
Especial. Mrs. +. A. Deacon OF this

Mrs. Deacon says is accepted in East

has ever doubted her truthfulness or
honesty OF purpose.
Mrs. Deacon says: MY attention
was first called to the remarkable cur
alive value of Dodds Kidney Pills
through the cure OF literary lady who
was a friend of mine. and who from
mental overwork was on the verge OF
insanity. After the failure Of her ply
stefan to help her, her husband was
advised to have her try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, which she did with gratifying re-
suits. She used five boxes before she
was completely cured, but at the end
OF two months treatment, she was her
own happy, brilliant self once more.

These cases are becoming very COM
mon in Cattaraugus County. and many
ladies have had experiences similar to
those OF Mrs. Deacon and her friend.
What Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for these suffering women, they will
do for anyone who gives them a fair
trial.

Few people realize what an import

the organs OF respiration, and unless
Its functions are well performed the
whole breathing process Is deranged.
The nostrils are not open Cavities with
smooth walls through which the air
passes In and out, as 1t would through
a rubber tube. They are divided into
several compartments by lony projec-
lions covered with mucous membrane.
and the volume OF air In entering is
broken up into several streams, so that

lining membrane. This warm and
moist membrane catches tie dust and
other impurities, and warns the air so

loses its moisture and becomes in
famed. The air Is neither warmer nor
purified. and it irritates the lining
membrane of the air passages all the
way down to the lungs. so that con-
dition of sluggish Inflammation is ex-
cited. But the general effects are more
serious than the local. One who Is a
mouth breather never gets enough air.
During the day he suffers less in this
respect, for the nerve centers are more
active and force the respiratory mus
cles to act more energetically; but at
night this vigilance is relaxed, the
amount OF inspired air is greatly re-
duced and all the tissues suffer for
want OF oxygen. For this reason the
mouth-breather always feels tired and
out of sorts in the morning. The mind
suffers as we'll as the body and mouth

The Platform.


Sincerely believing I'm tie principles OF de-
mocracy as laid down in the Declaration Of In
dependence" the Democratic party OF the state
OF Michigan, in CO invention assembled solemnly
reasserts its ia Tn in government by the PEG
pie dilect and its unalte able opposition TO any
other form of government.
Events have demonstrated that all reforms
in financial industrial and commercial fields
are doomed 10 remain in a state OF theory until
our governmental machinery has been reformed
50 that the will OF the people aud no longer the
self interest OF Ir yilegcd few shall enact the
law.
As citizens OF this commonwealth, we deeply
deplore that the corrupting influence of those
seeking special PRIVILEGES has succeeded in con-
Eliminating our government 10 such an extent
that even the appearance Of common decencv
has been dropped aS being SUI. rhuous and we
have been confronted with the sad spectacle
that the most exalted official in the state openly
aided and abe ted the thieves appointed by him
and cast asp ration on court accused OF met
ing out punishm Mt for factional hatred uu.er
the guse of justice.
We remind our fellow citizens that corruption
in our legislative halls has become so apparent
that grand jury found it necessary to indict
not only some OF the members, but also the
speaker Of the house OF representatives. and
though the evidence against them was convinc-
ing, they all 50 far have escaped trial.
We remind the clec' oTS OF the commonwealth
that few individuals who found tneir way into
the senate, were enabled in protecting vested
rights OF wealthy corporations to defy the out
spoken will OF the people, and that equal taxa
ton" is nothing but theory today: and we re-
peat our warning that unless the people obtain
direct control over the law which governs
them their welfare and the perpetuity of their
remaining free institutions must inevitably suf-
fer until all OF liberty be lost.
In view OF this impending crisis, we call upon
our fellow citizens TO set aside, a. we do ali
predictions and unite with US in the one de-
mand that the constitution OF the state of Mich
igan be amended as TO provide that a reason
able number OF people, say per cent OF quali-
fled voters on statutory law, or 10 per cent on
constitutional amendments, by filing petition
with the proper Official may demand that the
matter pettioned for, shall be submitted TO a
vote OF the people for adoption or rejection at
the next election.
