More Power from Niagara.

1t has been decided to build a large
power plant on the Canadian side of
Niagara Falls. which when completed
will enable the operators to furnish
200, 900 horse power. A few years ago
the idea of using Niagara's power
would have seemed ridiculous, but the
progress of invention during the past
century has now made it possible.
There has also been wonderful progress
made in medicine during that time,
the most noticeable being the introduce
ton of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
about fifty years ago. This family
medicine is for everybody. but more
especially for those who are weak and
sickly. 1t will strengthen the stom-
ach and nerves and cure indigestion.

malaria, fever and ague. Try it and

ST. PETER LAUGHS.
Nothing in the Story That Juror IA
cheI Was Dragged.

st. Peter, April 5. -Everyone here
is laughing at the latest cock-and- bull
story in relation to the insanity and
death of Anton Rachel, juror in the
Tanke case. 1t was alleged that drugs
were given the juror by persons in
terested in the case, the trial of Tanke
for the murder of John Wellner, and
that he died from the effects. Sensa-
tional disclosures were promised.
The whole story is groundless.
Rachel was of an excitable nature
and the strain of the trial was too
much for him. He became a raving
maniac and was slightly injured while
friends were trying to control him at
hotel here. Later he was taken to
the asylum and given good care, but
nothing could save him. The insinu-
stien that something was to be gain
ed by removing him from the jury is
puerile, and it is not believed for q
moment that he was drugged or mis-
used for any such purpose. Rachel
has brother here in the tailoring
business.

spectators were on the ground and
thousands had gathered outside. Be-
ing unable to obtain admittance this
crowd broke down some of the bar
riers and swarmed upon the field;
whereupon the police charged and
drove the intruders back upon the ter
races and seats, with the result that
the ratings dividing the crowds were
broken and the people were thrown
over each other. In the frantic strug-
gle toward the exits the pressure to-
ward the upper portion of the wester-
ly terrace was so great that 100 feet
of the highest part of the structure
collapsed under the weight Of the
crowd driven upon it, precipitating the
mass Of people to the ground, 60 feet
below. The injured were piled in
heaps, wedged in with broken wood.
The onloolers hesitated to approach
the dangling structure at first, but
finally began to utilize portions of the
broken barriers as stretchers.
The action of the authorities at
Ibrox Park in aVerting more gen.
eTal panic by permitting the game to
proceed while they encouraged the i'm
preston that prevailed among the
crowd within the enclosure that the
accident was not so serious is now
commended. The incongruity of yells
Of applause mingling with the groans
of the struggling sufferers will never
be forgotten by those who witnessed
the scene at the rear of the terrace.
