FATAL EXPLOSION.
Proprietor of a Machine Shop at
Marietta, o., Killed While Try
ing to Locate Gas Leak.
Brookline Station. Mo.

Marietta, O., Oct. 21.-At seven a. m.
Sunday the entire city was badly
shaken by a terrific explosion at the
machine shops of Pattin Brothers &
Co. An alarm of fire followed, and the
entire building was in flames, which
spread with great rapidity. The build
ing of the Marietta Transfer & Stor-
age Co. was soon ablaze, but it was
saved. The Pattin shop was COM
pletely demolished. The explosion is
mystery. D. P. Pattin, one of the
principal owners, smelled gas, and re-
marked that he was going to find the
leak. Taking some matches he en-
tered the building. The explosion fol-
lowed in about two minutes, and the
supposition is that he lighted match.
He was killed, and after the fire was
under control ex-Fire Chief A. d. AL
herman entered the building yet afire
at the risk of his life and took the body,
which was burned beyond recognition,
out of the building. The loss is over

ILLEGAL FISHING.
State Gets After Fellows With
Seins and Nets.

The deputy state fish wardens have
been at work in Mahaska county and
have brought suit for illegal work in
the Des- Moines river.
A. j. Smith was arraigned before
Justice Rice Saturday charged with
violating the fish laws. The defend
ant gave bond of 5000 90 for appear
ance Saturday November 2.
The information against Smith,
who has been operating in the vicin-
ity of Bellefountain in the Des Moines
river was signed by Deputy Warden
Corners of Abba and the gentleman
was assisted by Deputy Warden Bert
Mastin of Mahaska county.
1t is said that Smith makes a bust
ness of fishing and has been supply
ing thai part of the country with
fish, going as far as Pella with his
wares. He has been operating with
nets and tackle Of illegal character
that he manufactures himself. The
warden took charge of about seventy
five dollars worth of tackle, nets etc.
The case is of particular interest to
sportsmen as it is the first case to be
brought in the county for some time
although it has been claimed for
several months that there was need of
the law on some offenders.
Another Case.
Pella Chronicle: Last Sunday the
fish commissioner laid his plans and
visited the Des Moines river in order
to catch parties who had been catch
ing fish Illegally. He ar lived at
Howell on Sunday morning and
started out for game and in a short
time landed Teddy Evans who for the
past two or three years has been
making his brags that he was catch
ing fish with traps and nets and was
not afraid of the law. He confiscated
about 100 traps, sein and other con-
trivances with which to catch fish
unlawtully and the same with Evans
was taken to Des Moines where the
fishing tackle will be destroyed and
Evans dealt with according to law
This is only a beginning and those
who are wrongly informed in regards
to fishing with traps or seins on their
land had better take warning as the
law is plain on this matter and it will
save them considerable trouble and
money if they will not listen to
parties who have been using the
rivers for sein, nets, etc. We under-
stand the officers are after others
who have been violating the laws.
Good Work Goes On.
Knoxville Journal: Marshals Pringle
and Ream swooped down upon Tai
Evans at the "cut off" nj ar Harvey
last Monday and captured him in the
act of catchingsfsh illegally. He with
seven nets was brought to Knoxville
and arraigned in Justice Ruckman's
court where The plead guilty to the
charge and was fined $50 and cost in
default of the payment of which he
went to jaillwhere he now laDguishes.
This is Evans second experience with
the law upon that score and he will
probably learn the lesson this time.

The man who seeks to enlist in the

There is minimum standard of

requirement is sound physical con-

WOMAN'S HOSPITAL
A MANILA INSTITUTION FOR WHICH
GREAT NEED EXISTS
Offers as Good Treatment ms Can he
Found Anywhere and Entirely
Run by Women.

Written for The Evening Star
The Woman's Hospital at Manila, Philip
pine Is ands, is now open and ready for
the reception of patients. 1t is in charge of
the superintendent, Miss Mary Macdonald
graduate of Bellevue Hospital, New
York. who had wide experience in mill
tary hospitals during the Spanish-American
war, and since has seen conspicuous SER
vice in Manila.
The OF oning of this new hospital marks
an epoch in the Amercanizing of the city.
The necessity of such an institution in Ma
Mia, where those not entitled to treatment
in military hospitals. especially women, had
no refuge, has been great. In the past a
sick teamster or fever stricken clerk in the
civil government had no place to go for
medical treatment and care. The military
hospitals can accept none but military cases
and those of grave emergency and when
the small army of government civil help
no small factor in Manilas population-is
considered. the urgency is evident.
The founding of the hospital was made
possible through the generosity of Mrs
Whitelaw Reid. who expressed her willing
ness to donate 5000 to the founding Of
such an institution. A board of trustees
was Immediately named consisting of
prominent Manila officials and business
men, ana the Work put into immediate ope-
ration
Should the military government decide to
vacate the building now in use as the sec
ond reserve hospital, 1t would be taken as a
permanent abode by the new Women 8

The buildings, which have been recon-

to the River Pasig.
The present service is limited to fifteen
beds Should emergency demand, increased
accommodations could readily be obtained
The furnishing of the rooms and all the
accessories are Of the latest, most approved
pattern.

respect, and was equipped through the gen
erosity of Colonel Greenfeaf, surgeon gem

outwardly model of all the virtues. AS
to whether the virtues struck deep there
were two opinions. His world for the most
part held that they did. But there was
a sharp-eyed moiety, long-eared wthal
that whispered in its most private hours
of other things-roy sterings and rioting in
Nashville town. whittier Joe went for a
fortnight every winter-night-long gaming
at a cross roads the other side of the
county-stolen visits to the Nashville races
and heavy wagers lost and won.
STILL when all was said, he was no worse
than a hypocrite, throwing dust in the eyes
of blindly doting father. There were only
himself and his blind sister Alice to inherit
the tidy fortune Squire Gleaves had laid
up. Everybody knew Joe would come into
seven-eighths of it, so the harshest of his
critics did not blame him overmuch for
keeping his riotous living under cover. To
riot openly would distress his father be-
yond measure; and it is everywhere under
stood that those whose can pay his scot is
entitled to riot in his youth.

that no man is stronger than his
stomach.
Most people look upon indigestion
as discomfort rather than a disease.
But in reality indigestion or dyspep-
STA is the disease of all diseases. 1t
makes other diseases possible. 1t in
wolves the blood and the heart, lungs,
liver, kidneys-every organ of the
body.
WEAK STOMACH WEAK MAN.
That a weak" stomach causes
general physical weakness may easily
be understood. Food is the staff of
life. The source of all physical
strength is food. But before the body
can receive strength from what is
eaten the food must be digested and
assimilated. To convert the food eat
en- into nutrition is the office of the
stomach and the other organs of di-
gestion and nutrition. When the
stomach is weak" the food received
into it is only partly digested and as
simulated; the body loses its proper
supply of nutrition and grows pro-
portionately weak. The capacity of
the stomach in its normal health and
use equals the nutritive demands of
the body. State that normal capacity
as equal to 100. When the stomach
is "weak" its capacity is reduced pro-
portionately. 1t may be that ten or
twenty per cent of the nutritive val
ues of the food eaten are lost or
wasted. That ten or twenty per cent
of lost nutrition must then represent
ten or twenty per cent loss of physi-
cal strength.
WHERE STRENGTH COMES FROM.
Physical strength comes from food
and from food alone. If man has
enough to eat and eats enough,
there's no reason why he should not
have perfectly nourished and
healthy body. If he is not well nour-
ished, if he is losing weight, then the
stomach is weak or diseased, whether
he knows it or not If he knows he
has stomach trouble" then he may
be sure that the trouble will not stop
with the stomach, but will reach out
to other organs Of the body depend
ent on the stomach for nutrition.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has restored lost health and
strength to thousands of suffering
men and women, because it cures
diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition,
and enables the building up of the
body in the only way known to ma
ture, by the assimilation of the nutri-
ton extracted from food. Golden
