The claim of other cough medI-

lain's are effectually set at rest in
the folio wing testimonial of Mr.. c.
D. Glass, an employee of Bartlett &
Dennis company, Gardiner, Me.
He says: Il had kept adding to
cold and cough In the winter of
1897, trying every cough medicine
l heard of without permanent help,
until one day I was In the drug
store of Mr.. Houleman and he ad-
vised me to try Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and offered to pay
back my money If l was not cured.
My lungs and bronchial tubes were
very sore at this time, but I was
completely cured by this remedy,
and have since always turned to it
when I get cold and soon found
relief. I also recommend 1t to my
friends and am glad to say 1t Is the
best OF all cough medicines. For
sale by G. w. Grier.

At present we have an impress
sive example of the advantages and
benefits of the weather service of
the government, which must con-
vince the most unreasonable croak.
er of the wisdom of its establish
ment and maintenance.
Monday the approaching storm
from the south was located, and
owing to the peculiar danger that
would threaten people dwelling
along the rivers of this and other
states, 1t was communicated by
telephone and telegraph to prac-
tically everybody who was likely
to be affected, should the threat
ened storm materialize and liberate
the great banks of snow that have
accumulated in the hills and noun.
tains and the immense bodies of
Ice that are gorged In the rivers.
1t may be that the storm will not
come, and 1t Is still possible that
the Ice may 60 out quietly and
with little prospect of damage, but
on the average such warnings fore.
tell real danger, and they are gen
orally wisely needed. It Is difficult
to compute the amount of property
that is saved every time intelligence
Of such an occurrence is sent out.
Every person who has property
that may be affected by an unusual
rise In the rivers Is given ample
time to take measures to protect
| 1t. But this Is only ore In.
stance, though one of the
more striking kind, of the
value of the weather bureau
1t is continually at the service OF
seafaring men who are able to avoid
danger by not putting to sea In the
face of a storm or led to seek safety
before being overtaken by one;
while agriculture In all parts of the
country and many other interests
are enabled by the same means to
safeguard themselves against dam
age by the elements. Few institu
tons of the government give such
returns to the people as this some
times revi1ed and abused weather
service.

CHICAGO, July 5.-A special to the Rec
ord-Herald from Winnipeg says: Rev. DR..
Ferlies, a Church Of England clergyman,

fate Of the explorer Andre and his com
panions. Two years ago, 1900 miles north
Of York, a party Of Eskimos under the lead
ership Of "Old Huskie," saw the Andre bal
loon altght on a plain Of snow in that VI
entity, which is about two miles north of
Fort Churchill. Three men emerged from
the balloon and some Of "Huskie's" people
approached them out Of curiosity. As they
did so one OF Andres companions fred of q
gun.
This Is q signal to uncivilized natives for
battle. II was regarded as q challenge and
almost instantly the natives fell upon the
three explorers and massacred them. Every
thing pertaining to the outfit was carried to
the homes Of the natives on the borders OF
the Arctic region. "old Huskie' himseli
gave this information to Ralph Alstine,
agent for the Hudson Bay company, and the
story, after being Investigated by DR.. Fer
lies, was told by him today. He says there
Is little room for doubt, as separate reports
have come Of the strange implements which
the northern natives have In their posses

scribed. The Hudson Bay company has re.

any portion OF the OUTFIT belonging to Andre

PosTPoNEs SHELTER CASE
Colorado supreme Court Deferr Action
Untn september In Alleged
Trust Case.

DENVER. July b.-The state supreme
court today deferred until the September
term consideration Of the complaint filed
recently by Attorney General Post against
the American Smelling and Refining COM
pany and the other companies comprising
the smelter combination.
Attorney General Post said he appeared
to renew his application made several days
ago for leave to file q suit against the
American Smelling and Refining company.
He contended that the case was Of such
vital Importance that Il ought to be taken
up and a decision as to his right to file made
At once.
Joel r.. vaile said he appeared for the
American Smelling and Refining company
10 resist the application under such rules
as the court might prescribe. II 1t were
necessary to fle briefs and arguments he
was prepared to do so, or II It we're decided
to hear oral arguments he stood ready to
proceed.
THE matter will be disposed Of the first
day of the September term" said Chief
Justice. Campbell, land not before that
time. The application was made too late
for action at this term. The court is not
responsible for the fact that the attorney
general did not make his application earlier
and does not propose to be saddled with the
responsibility for failure to dispose Of 1t
at this time"
It was finally ordered by the court that
the attorney general have three days In
which to hle additional briefs, the Smolt-
Ing company ten days in which to make an
swer and the attorney general three days
In which to reply. The briefs are simply

SWIFT SUFFERS HEAVY LOSS
Fire Breaks Out in Chicago Plant and
Damage Reaches $4,000
ONE BUILDING is TOTALLY DESTROYED
Blase starts Near Engine Room and
For Time other Plants st the
stock Yards Seemed
Doomed.

CHICAGO, July 6.--By q fre which broke
out in their plant at the ~stoekyards to-
night Swift and Company suffered q loss
which is estimated by the oficials OF
the company at $500. 900. The hre was con-
fined to one building standing at the in
tersection OF Packers avenue and Broad
way. This structure was four storiea high,
built OF brick and was 800 feet square.
The first hoor was occupied by the whole
sale meat market of the company;. the
second, by the shipping department, and
the third and fourth. by the general ofnces
Of the company. The latter are said to have
been the largest single ofhces in the
United States, more than 500 employees
working on one Of the floors In q single
room. The cause Of the Ere is not known,
but 1t was discovered near the engine
room. 1t spread so rapidly through the
building that it was found impossible to
save anything In the structure.
The first arrivals, of the FIRE department
we're unable to check the fire and repeated
calls were sent in for assistance, but all
the engines that the department could
gather were not able to prevent the entire
destruction OF the building. Within an
hour after the FIRE was discovered the
building was ruined, although 1t continued
to blaze for a long time.
The burned building adjoins portions OF
the plants of Armour & Co. and Libby, NC
Neil G. Libby, and for q time the hre de-
partment had a desperate tight to keep these
buildings from the flames. TIL wind wae
blowing strong from the southwest and at
times the flames were touching the side oil
Armour's building. but the nrernen managed
to confne the Are to the building In which
1t had broken out. All the books d once
records Of Swift and Company were In the
burned building. but they are thought to be
safe. as they we're in hreproof vaults.
w. ]. McGonigle, the superintendent o.
the plant. said tonight that the loss will
aggregate fully $500. 900. There were, he
said, S,925 beeves In the building and great
quantities Of green hides and tallow. The
general supplies OF the company were stored
in the many markets and cellars and every
thing In and about the building was de-
stroyed. Superintendent McGonisle tele-
phoned to Mr.. Swift, who was at his coun-
try home near Lake Geneva, that the lost
would be total. The insurance carried by
the company will cover all losses.

PACKERS GIGANTIC COMBINE
Deal Between Companies osnsummatsd,
with ROOksfellsI Central Figure,
SWIFT AND ARMOUR MERGE INTERESTS
one or Two Smaller Concerns Not Yet
in Combination, hut Negotiations
Are Pending, with Favor
abIe Outlook.

CHICAGO. July 5.-The Inter Ocean to-
morrow will say: The combination Of the
gigantic companies controlling the packing
industry OF the United States has finally
been contaminated with John d. Rockefel-
Ter as the central figure in part Of the
negotiations. Arrangements have been
made for the consolidation OF the Swift
and Armour interests, which have recently
obtained control OF the other packing con-
Germs throughout the country.
The final steps, which were taken to-
day, required merely the merging Of the
Swift and Armour interests. There are,
1t is said, one or two companies yet not
wholly under this control, but negotiations
are pending with a favorable outlook.
Swift and Company, who W the Sioux
City stockyards and the Libby, Mcneil
& Libby company's business, re-
Gently secured control Of a majority OF
the stock OF the Anglo American Packing
company, when the Liverpool interests re-
ported favorably allowing the company to
pass into the hands of the combination.
The Fowlers will retain q part interest
in the new corporation. Armour & Co.
have secured control of the G. H, Ham
mond Packing company, Of part OF the
Fowler interests, and have been nego-
tiating for the Cudahy Packing company
and Nelson, Morris & Co., while schwar-
child & sulzberger were already in the
hands OF those promoting the combina-
ton.
ofhcials Of Swift and Company said to-
night that they had heard nothing OF the
reported entry OF Mr.. Rockefeller into the
packing business and that, so far as they
are informed, he owns no stock In any
Of the packing companies and is not In
terested in the formation Of 9 new COM
bination between them.
