Fire

The residence of Jud Lyons No. 430
North Third street and owned by H.
H. Sheriff, was totally destroyed by
fire at $3.50 O'Clock Monday morning.
MIR. Lyon is ignorant of the cause of
the fire. He was awakened by the
cracking of the flames and sprang
from his bed to open the kitchen
door. The flames and heat burst
through the opened door and Mr..
Lyons had difficulty in getting out of
the building. Comparatively nothing
was saved from the house, but three
small pieces of furniture being taken
from the building. There was no in
surance on the household effects Mr..
Lyons policy expiring Saturday noon.
He had planned to have it renewed
to-day. His loss is complete and
amounts to several hundred dollars,
The fire company made quick run
to the place but the building was in
volved in fame when they arrived
and was q total wreck. Added to
this there was no water pressure.
There was not sufficient force to the
stream to throw the water onto the
roof of one-story kitchen. 1t is re-
ported that the fire started from a
defective fue. The Water Co. were
asked as to the reasons for the poor
pressure and replied that it was i'm
possible to get communication with
the pumping station at the river.

CAM e. Z. /, !

Sufferers from this horrible Inaladv
nearly always inherit it not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance -or a swollen gland III the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows /:
A small pimple came on my jaw about an inch
below the ear on the left side of my face. 1t gave

In our characters how many weak spots
are manifest! Just as it has been dis
covered that what we call disease is not
an entity to be driven out, but a weak
ness to be overcome, SO what we call
faults and transgressions are far more
often due to defects and deficiencies than
to redundancies.
Certain qualities are lying dormant
which otherwise would have prevented the
offence. 1t is the lack of generous feelings
that causes seltishness; the want of self
control that brings intemperance; the abb
sence of principle that results In dishon-
esty; the scarcity OF love and sympathy
that makes possible the foolish. quarrel,
the cold uncharitabieness, the cruel en-
nifty.
There is no form OF wrongdoing that
cannot be traced to defect in the charac-
ter, and until that is remedied there is no
reasonable hope OF permanent reform.
To remedy these defects must be the aim
OF all moral education in youth, and OF all
moral self culture in later years.

Kickers May Ruin a Town.

sit is possible" remarked travelling
man In Kansas town the other day, "ior
lot OF chronic kickers to ruin a town.
There is the town of Independence, Iowa,
which is an example In point. The great
horseman, Williams, made Independence
his headquarters for a while. He built a
$50, 900 hotel and $4,000 residence, and
got up race meetings that drew people to
Independence from all over the United
States. Business was booming and the
town was building. Then the kickers
began to get in their work. They har-
sssed Williams and finally got him hot
SO that he tore down his hotel and left
the town. He also tore up a street rail
way that he had built in Independence
and moved with his belongings over to
Galesburg, Ill. Independence has nearly
faded away and the kickers are mostly to
blame for 1t. There are in nearly every
town lot of chronic kickers who never
do anything to push enterprise along
themselves but are always ready to knock
on somebody else il he undertakes to start
an enterprise"

New York Elevated Roads.

In 1871 the first section of the New
York city's elevated railroad system was
C instructed, but put in operation in the
following year. In that year the number
of passengers carried on all TIE surface
and elevated railroads was 1873 ,s67 900. In
1882. the total had risen to 252 800 600; In
1892, to ASS, zoo, 900; while in 1899 1t WAS
still further increased to SIS 22s ,437, and
rapidly growing. These figures are for
the old city of New York, now known as
tine boroughs OF Manhattan and Bronx,
aud are for paying passengers only.
In 1899 there we're transferred passen-
gers amounting to 159 5G0, S22, not included
in the above. 1t is interesting to note in
comparison that for 1898 the United States
interstate commerce commission reports
that there were carried on all the steam
railways in the United States, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from the st. Law
renee to the Rio Graude, passengers to the
number OF sol ,066, 661. or five per cent. less

There is general feeling of disgust
arising from the persistent efforts of
the yellow journals TO make political
capital out of the Schley court of in
quiry. Most persons who have any
thing at all to say on the matter re-
greet the widespread advertisement
that the papers give the case, and
echo the sentiment of Chauncey NJ.
Depew, who has just returned from
Europe. He says it is hurting the
reputation of the American navy
among circles which formerly had
great admiration for it. The victories
over Spain, the remarkable run of the
s'Oregon'' from the Pacific to Cuba,
and perhaps more than all the value
set on the naval writings of Captain
Alfred T. Mahan, have made all Eu-
rope look on our navy with much
respect. But now these internal dis
sensions are dividing opinion.
