FIERCE FIRE AT KlZER.
William Cobb Sustained a Loss Of
$12, 1000, on Which There Was
No Insurance.

Kizers, little farming hamlet To-
Gated in Wayne county, was visited by
"a fierce contlagration on Saturday
night. Shortly before o'clock, flames
We're discovered issuing from the en-
gine room of William Cobb's saw
mill, and in a very few minutes the
flames spread to the MILL which was
destroyed, together with two-story
frame dwelling, which adjoined the
mill.
Several small buildings which stood
near the mill We're soon licked up by
the flames. Stored about the yard
were hundreds of thousand feet of
sawed lumber. This became ignited,
and large amount of it fell prey
to the angry flames. The church bell
was rung, and a general alarm given
up and down Kizer valley. The men
formed bucket brigade, and valiantly
fought the flames. many had their
hands and faces blistered, but their
efforts We're rewarded, for some four
hundred thousand feet of sawed lum-
ber, stored across a small creek was
saved.
The entire property, including the
lumber, was the property of William
Cobb, of Kizer. The loss will foot up
nearly $4,000, with no insurance.

The dark, Castilian beauty of Miss

The GAS FRANCHISE.
Council Committee Considered It
Last Night-Paine Don't Believe
in Following After Ancestors.

The ordinance awarding a franchise
to the Consumers Gas company, which
was vetoed by Recorder Connell some
few months ago, but which is again in
councils, was considered at length last
night by the light and water commit
tee of the common branch.
IL. II. Paine insisted that clause be
inserted in the ordinance providing
that the company shCIld agree to pay
for damages caused asphalt pavement
by the escape of gas. He said that the
Barber Asphalt company persists in
refusing to repair certain portions Of
the pave on jefferson avenue because
it is alleged that it has been damaged
by the escape of gas and that the
company's contract with the city does
not provide for the repair of such
damage. The amendment. he sug-
gested, was Incorporated in the ordi-
nance as we'll as another, providing
that free gas be furnished to the sew
cral fire houses as Well as to the city
hall and police stations.
Mr.. Paine offered still third amend-
ment providing that for the years
'1905-06 the company shall pay Il tax OF
two per cent. on its gross receipts and
for every year thereafter IA tax of five
per cent. on its gross receipts.
Final action on the ordinance was
held over until Thursday night, when
the committee will meet, just prior to
the council meeting.

Paine'S Celery Compound
Is the Great Restorer Of Health
for the Ruler and His
Humblest Subject.

Sickness. disease and suffering re-
spect neither ruler nor subject. The
noted and high born have their trials
and physical sufferings like those in
humber stations. Social standing and
wealth cannot bar the progress of dis
ease when the common rules of health
are violated.
Impure blood and weak nerves are
responsible for many of the common
diseases of life. The experienced ply
sician Will tell you that men and wom-
en- with pure. clear coursing blood and
well braced nerves, can never become
victims of rheumatism, neuralgia, liv-
er troubles. debility, headaches, Or
sleeplessness.
1t follows, therefore, that sufferers
from any of the ailments referred to,
should at once take proper measures
to cleanse the blood and feed the weak
nervous system with proper nourish-
ment.
For the happy accomplishment of this
important work, Paine's Celery Com
pound is the only safe agent, the one
great specific, the only security against
deadly disease and death. During
these spring days, Paine's Celery Com
pound guarantees a perfect regularity
of the bowels, healthy appetite, sound
sleep, good digestion, pure blood,
strong nerves, and clear brain, all of
which mean full and robust health.
Mr.. f. NJ. Sutton, eX-mayor of Bur-
lington, VT, one Of the strongest and
heartiest advocates of Paine's Celery
Compound in the United States, tells
us in the following letter how he keeps
we'll under all circumstances: he says:
people have often asked me how
managed to keep so we'll, for although
out in nearly all kinds Of weather and
travelling considerably, I have no
aches or sickness. My one answer has
been that instead of waiting until l
am sick in bed and forced to stop work
for awhile, whenever I feel out-of-
sorts the least bit, I take Paine's Cell
cry Compound, which keeps me we'll
and strong. 1t is great deal better
in my opinion to take a medicine that
keeps one we'll, rather than to wait for
sickness and then hunt around for a
medicine or a doctor to cure the sick
ness. / have been a hearty advocate
of Paine's Celery Compound since it
was first made, a great many years
ago, and have yet to hear Of a case in
which it fails to fulfil its promises"

The fight for the leading positions
| in The Tribune's Educational Contest
| is now becoming quite interesting. A.
j. kellerman, who has held first place
| almost since the beginning of the con-
test, is now seriously threatened with
| the loss of it, only seven points separat-
ing him from the young man in second
place, Charles Burns, of Vandling, of
whom escepial mention was made in
yesterdays Tribune. Mr.. Burns crossed
| the century line as the result Of his
work yesterday.
| Another pretty struggle is going on
| for possession of third place. Two
young men, are tied for it this morn
ing, with a third one only two points
| behind. William Rodriguez of Scran-
ton and Herbert Thompson of Carbon
dale have equal claims to the position
this morning, but each one must work
| if he wants to hold it, for Maxwell
Shepherd, Of Carbondale is one of the
most persistent workers in the list,
and a day rarely passes that he does
not make some progress.
A. ]. Havenstrite of Moscow made
a jump from fourteenth to twelfth
place yesterday, and Charles w. Dor
sey, of Scranton, went up the list two
positions. Altogether eight contestants
brought in So points yesterday, Of
which Charles Burns scored 2S.
Vacant places still abound. A num-
ber of young people who have register
ed as contestants and have received the
outfits should not delay in bringing in
the points. A number who have ap-
peared anxious to start to work have
since failed to put in an appearance.
They should remember that one point
only will give them representation in
the list and may later give them a
scholarship, if no others beat this in
significant number. The thirty-three
scholarships are all arranged for, and
there is no provision made as to the
number of points n contestant must
have to win one. The thirty-three con-
testants who have the highest number
of points on the last day will get the
scholarships.
The entry list will remain open for
some time longer. If you have not
registered your name as contestant
you should study up the reasons why
you should. They will be found on the
fourth page of this mornings Tribune.

MOVED 10 KINDNESS.

When the baby came to Mrs Tsillla,
their captors We're a little kinder. They
believed that curse would fall upon
one who harmed the child or its
mother, but when the little creature
was but three days old, they made her
ride with it eight aud Il half hours
over the mountains. They built II box
for her, which had grewsome sug-
gestiVeness, and i'm ii placed the un-
happy young mother. thus carrying
her, while Miss Stone held the baby
in her arms.
AS Mrs. Tsilka was laid in her mar
row bed, she looked up at the brigands
and said pathetically the words which
the people of that country say over
the dead that are shut away: 1.-The
Lord forgive her." and at this one man
broke down ana wept in protest. This
was the only feeling shown.
The release at Strumitza was gra-
phically pictured, and then followed a
magnificent series of views, giving a
vivid idea of the natives, the village
life in Bansko and the appearance of
the captives with the little child, after
their freedom was gained.
The Tsilkas are still detained in Bull
garia awaiting the trial of the ridcu-
lous charge of having conspred in the
kidnapping of the young wife and Miss

1T TAKES LOYAL MEN
TO WIN A BATTLE

When the smoke has passed away
from the field of a political campaign
ordinarily it is easier to see where
the fighting was done, and it is be-
coming clearer to the minds of the
many, even some of his friends. that
Chairman Patterson was putting up a
great fight to carry the November
election In La Plata county. None
but himself and a few under his guild
ance had very comprehensive idea
of the contentious which the gallant
little fighter had to meet daily ard
hourly. There were conditions which
ought never to exist in the Republi
can party in La Plata county again
On the evening preceding election
Chairman Patterson said:
Boys, il you had come to the front
every day for the last three
weeks like you are doing tonight, we
would be sure of La Plata county
but we all will do our best tomorrow.
The Democrats were making u goo 1
campaign. though they were not pre-
tertioue or noisy, and this fact was
plain to the few Republican workers
who were mending torn down fences
nearly all the time. The First pre-
,inct bad been made the battle ground
ard while the Republican gains there
were large, the Democratic workers
contested every inch of the ground
from daylight till dark. The Republi-
can gains there are claimed by Repub-
lcan workers to be due largely to
shutting out Illegal voting. The
Ninth precinct results doubtless came
as the greatest surprise to our Demo
cratic friends. this being the first time
the precinct ever went Republican.
Had Chairman Patterson when he
begun, or at any time during the cam
paign, been assured that he would be
provided with sufficient funds to pa
the legitimate expenses to be met, that
he might work more confidently, that
he would not have to shoulder the bur
den and pay hundreds of dollars out
Of his own pocket. there can be no
doubt that he would have reduced the
former great Democratic majorities
considerably more. Those who share
in the glory of "A practical Republican
success may reflect upon the respon-
sibilities which had to be met and the
peculiar adverse conditions under
which they were met.
