The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting ma
ture in doing it's work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for

Vaudeville at the Grand.

Two new European acts are on view at
the Grand Opera House as features of the
bill of vaudeville. The Riccobono brothers
show trained horses and dogs and their
work Is all new and interesting. The
horses, three of them, are handsome ami
mails. One Of them takes off clothing and
goes to bed. another plays ball with its
hind feet and all three go through similar
ly clever maneuvers. One of the Riccobonos
is effectively costumed Arab and
the other, personating accurately street
poultry peddler, has lot OF tricks that
are both queer and comic In America The
act goes with French smartness and this
is one of the virtues of the work OF the
four Martinettis, acrobats. who form the
second importation. Their head and hand
balancing is remarkable for difficult work
gracefully and quickly done.
o. K Sato, juggler and comedian that
long time, keeps his audiences laughing
continuously. He has n grotesque makeup
and a routine of original nonsense. His
juggling tricks are few. but they are well
done. Miss Remington, of the team of
Hines and Remington, also deals in fun
that is all her own. She rambles in her
talk. caricaturing individuals and types and
doing 1t with refreshing vigor and humor.
Her partner is well enough as a foil, but
when she leaves him alone on the stage
he does not maintain the highest level of
the sketch and his material is not old.
Neil Litchfield and Mrs. Litchfield have
a rural sketch in which Litchfield is a down
East farmer and also the farmers wooden
headed son. He has two good songs and
Mrs. Litchfield plays the violin acceptably,
though without style. Style, too. is what
James II. Cullen lacks. He has an unusual
number Of parodies and a bookful of jokes.
Some are old, some are new. some bright
and some vulgar, but they are not put to-
gether well. AS ii is, however. Cullen gets
a great deal Of applause and very apparent
ly Is a valuable contributor.
The Columbian trio consists in a man and
two little girls. The man is strong enough
and clever enough to support the children
without their running their voices early
in life, but he seems to prefer to let them
work out their ability now. Both the
children sing off the key and their voices
break painfully. One of them does the
familiar wax doll imitation, and also tries
to play the piano, but she has not enough
power to make the harmonies and put
them over the footlights- Dressed in elab-
crate white satin costumes, the man and
his little assistants have a song and dance
feature that pleases immensely the un-
thinking majority, but the whole act is pa
thetic and eXasperating.

"superbao at the Park.

Hanlon's "Superba," with its dazzling

illusions, began its fair week engagement
at the Park last evening. In the main the
show Is the same as at former presenta-
tions, although to keep pace with the
times, a few new features are introduced
Several new dances are put on that are
pleasing. The costuming OF the show Is
admirable. Robert Rosair Is sufficiently
active to be a good Pierrot and submits
TO the rather terrifying demands made
upon his agility with the requisite amount
OF smiling sang-froid. Violet V. Holmes is

Completely Demolished.
steam boiler belonging to Curtis
Jannell and located on the Dickinson
pine lot a mile below Williamsville
village, exploded about 5 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon. Mr.. Jannell had
the job of cutting about three-fourths
of a million feet of lumber on the lot
during the winter and spring, but the
mill had been idle several weeks pend
ing a settlement with the owner of the
lot. About an hour before the eX-
plosion fire was started under the boil
er for the purpose of saving out about
a dozen logs necessary to complete the
job.
Ten or Is seconds before the explo-
sion Mr.. Jannell observed steam es-
Gaping from the boiler in an unusual
way, and called to the half dozen men
about the premises to run. They had
barely time to get away from the
building when the boiler followed
them, passing between the two groups
of fleeing men.
ne udIH part Ol IHe DOller, WelBnT
ing about five tons, shot into the air
80 or 40 feet, cutting off one large tree
in it's course and striking about 60
rods away. The other portion, main
ly the fire box, took land passage in
the same direction, blowing a deep
furrow in the ground and demolish-
ing large stump in its course.
The mill building was entirely des-
troyed, the lumber being broken up
into small pieces. Some damage was
done to the engine and other machin-
cry.
The boiler was considered a good
one, having passed a satisfactory eX-
animation a few weeks ago by an in
spector sent by the Hartford Steam
Boiler Insurance company, with
whom $4,000 had been placed by Mr..
Jannell, this policy to cover damage
to life and property.
