Suttle awoke the house was in a blaze all over, and he barely had time to get the members of his family out be- fore the roof fell. Nothing was saved He carried about one thousand dollars in- surance on his residence and five hundred on the furniture. The Wilson residence was not totally destroyed but is almost uninhabitable. No insurance.
 The Cumberland building caught from a pile of ashes that had been dumped early in the night from the back gallery. The two young lady operators, Misses Carmichael and Scott, stuck to their posts while the firemen were attempting to save

SteveuSon,s Ala. June g. 1901. Dear Sir: have been a great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations. I have also taken many different remedies; taken Swamp Root three years. Warmers Sale cure two years. and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- pairing for the third, I saw your Texas Wonder advertised, and purchased a bot tie. And I got almost immediate relief, and have continued to improve every since.
 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places, and l was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder. And I call it Worlds Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give a trial.
 Wishing you success. am,

DELEGATES ARRIVE.
International Conference of AmerIcan
 States in Mexico.

Mexico City, October 1s.-The American. Central American and South American delegates to the International conference of American states arrived in this city this evening. Owing probably to the fact that the arrival of the special train had twice been erroneously announced, there was comparatively small crowd on the platform of the central station to meet the delegates
 Only two of Mexico's delegates Messrs Casasus and De Labarre were present. The United States delegates were driven in carriages to their hotels. The authori- ties had sent @ sufficient number of pri- vate carriages for the other delegates. The artillery band under Captain Pacheco which recently distinguished itself at Buff falo. played the Star Spangled Banner as the special train rolled into the sta tion followed by other American airs in- cluding Dixie" and Yankee Doodle"
 Tomorrow and Sunday the delegates will be allowed time to rest and on Mon day those who have brought credentials to Mexico as ministers will be presented in succession to President Diaz.

Pullman
Ordinary Sleepers

The tourist travel between the East
and the Pacific Coast has reached enor-
nous proportions in the last few years,
and calls for special class Of equipment.
To meet this demand the Pullman Com
pany has issued from its shops what it
technically calls the pullman Ordinary
Sleeper" These cars appear similar to
the regular sleepers, being built ON the
same plan, but not furnished with the
same elegance. They are equipped with
mattresses, blankets, sheets, pillows,
pillow-cases, towels, combs, brushes, ETC.,
requiring nothing of the kind to be fur.
nished by the passenger Each car has
a stove for making tea and coffee and
doing eight housekeeping" and each
section can be fitted with an adjustable
table. A uniformed porter accompanies
each car, his business being to make up
berths, keep the car clean, and look after
the wants and comforts of the passen-
gers. In each of the trains which are
dispatched daily from Portland by the O.
r. Il N. Co. is to be found one of these
pullman Ordinary sleepers." The car
attached to the "Chicago-P Portland
Special" goes through to Chicago with
out change, and the one in the "Atlantic
Express" runs to Kansas City without
change. Passengers in this car for Chi
cago change to a similar car at Granger.
Much of the first class travel is being
carried in these cars, the rates being
lower, and the service nearly equal to
that in the palace sleepers.
For rates and full information, includ-
ing folders, write to A. l.. CRAIG, Cen
eral Passenger Agent o. r. 4 N. Co.,
