Pittsburg. June 24.-The vicinity Of
Pittsburg was visited recently by one
of the fiercest storms known since the
United States weather bureau has
been established. Within As minutes
10 inches of rain fell, and during
that time the lightning and thunder
were almost continuous. The wind
was not high except in contracted
path a few hundred feet wide, which
swept like a tornado through Ale
gheny, a portion of tie east end Of
Pittsburg and on to Wilmerding and
Turtle Creek.
James Howard. aged 16. was struck
on the head by a live wire at Du-
quesne and instantly killed.

Z years. who had fallen into the creek
at Braddock, was carried away by the
waters and drowned.
Charles Marcus, an Italian, who was
working in a sewer at Center and
Euclid avenues, was drowned. When
the rain came the sewer was a rag
/ ing torrent in a moment, and Marcus
was torn away from his fellow work
men and probably carried through to
the river.
Great damage was done in the two
cities and suburbs east. Conservative
estimates place the loss at 5000,

grand stand of the ball park and car
ried away bodily $50 feet of that

ton the entire stand. Two of the

son street, going from the garnet to
the first floor carrying away portion
of a bed on which James Williamson
was sleeping. 1t is a miracle that no
lives were lost in Allegheny.

One of our citizens complains about
a II year old boy filling his dog with
bird Shot, simply because it was dog.
Boys of that age ought not to be al
lowed to carry gun, and if they do
the ordinance against the discharge
of fire arms within the corporation,
should be rigidly enforced against
them. That class of miscreantS one
summer used to take delight in shoot
ing small chickens running in the
yard near our barn, we finding them
dead, filled with shot. In all these
cases parents are equally to blame
with the boys who do the shooting.
Bob and Eva Mckinley gave one
week of their inimitable entertain
ments at the Ferris Wheel Park and
thoroughly established the fact that
they are high class performers and
their entertainments are clean refined
and amusing. Farces, monologues,
Songs, dances, violin solos and in fact
every thing along the line of first class
vaudeville. The performance of two
hours seem but one, SO rapidly are the
changes made aud 50 Fascinating. The
entertainment we recommend to the
public as worthy of pa tronage Chica-
go Record.

TO PREVENT LA GRIPPE.
Timely Advice From the New York "Maga
xine of Sanitation and HygIene.-

zine OF sanitation and Hygiene
The New York Magazine of Santa
tion and Hygiene says that more
meritorious medicine than Krause's
Cold Cure for the prevention and cure
OF La Grippe has never come under
examination of the chemical and med
ical experts of that magazine. AS
soon as you begin to take cold or feel
the first symptoms of the Grip take
Krause's Cold Cure Capsule every 3
hours during the day and 2 before re-
tiring at night. This will insure a
good nights rest and free movement
OF the bowels next morning. Continue
the treatment next day and you need
have no fear of the grip.
KrauSe's Cold Cure is guaranteed to
break up La Grippe in a day, and to
cure an ordinary cold over night. 1t
is new principle in medicine pre-
pared in soft, soluble gelatine cap
sules, which are easily dissolved by
the warmth and fluids of the stomach.
They are far superior to hard, sugar
coated pills or tablets. They do not
affect the head as does quinine nor
upset the stomach. They contain no
calomel, and can be taken with safety
by the most delicate woman or child
Krause's Cold Cure is for sale by
druggists at 25 cents a box. Sold by
Shuttleworth Drug Co.

The publication Of the fact that the
Erie Railroad company had done away
New swind,e with news butch
ers'' on it's trains
~ ra'n BOY called to mind a
new scheme Cineinlatian witnessed
few days ago, says the Enquirer of
that city. A young man, evidently
from the country and unsophisticated,
was approached by news butcher"
and told that if he would pay $2.65 he
could get book, and at the same time
a chance to win $5. The news butch
err then placed q five-dollar bill be-
tween the leaves of one of three books
he held. The young man bit at the
bait and paid the Sa.65. The books
were then shuffled about by the news
butcher" and presented for the victim
to pick out the volume he thought con-
tanned the money. There appeared
peeping from the leaves of one of the
books what appeared to be the edge of
a bill. OF course, the victim picked that
volume, believing the edge of the bill
had been carelessly left exposed. But
ne was like all other such suckers. He
found when he opened the book that
there was pasted on the edge of the
Leaves a thin piece of what appeared
to be a portion of a clipped greenback,
but there was no whole fve-dollar bill
The young man who was the victimn
did not complain for some time, but
finally appealed to the conductor of the
train and the boy who had worked the
swindle was compelled to disgorge.
