Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Compound
THE GREAT rlEDICINE.
THE GREAT rlEDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
! Am Now in the Best of Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that 1t had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DIR. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion Of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
OConnor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any

the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would undersi~'

"After the regular use of Paine's Celery

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Origin Of the Fire That Destroyed the
Round House
From SATURDAYS Daily.

The Chicago Great Western round
house which burned yesterday afternoon
was complete loss. The two freight
engines that were in it at the time OF the
fire were badly damaged. The running
gear can be saved, but that is about all.
These engines will be taken to the shops
at Oelwein, Iowa, for repairs. 1t is
thought that a temporary round house
will be constructed, as such a building
will be necessary.
The fire is believed to have started in
the oil room, and to have been caused by
spontaneous combustion. The room
was shut when the fire originated, and
Round House Foreman Hilton and En-
gineer Parker were at work in an adj
joining part. One of these men, hearing
a cracking in the oil room, opened the
door, and it was seen that the room was
all ablaze. Both men lost some of their
clothing that was hung in the oil room.
The fire department responded to a
still alarm, and strung long line of
hose to the burning building. The fence
that was between the round house and
the Standard Oil company's tank was
on fire, and the tanks were threatened
The firemen first turned their attention
to the burning fence, and five or ten
minutes were consumed before, they
could turn their attention to the round
house By that time it was too late to
save it,
Captain Barry of the central fire sta.
ton was struck on the head by the side
OF the building as it fell and was con-
eiaerab.y hurt. The side struck a pile
of cinders first, which broke the force q;
the blow. or NJ. Gerry would have re-
ceived severe injuries.
The windmill used to pump water al
the round house was also burned. Agent
Barr estimates the total loss at $4,000
to $4,000. 1t is presumed that the rail
road company carried insurance.

ANOTHER INJUNCTION.
Property Owners Angry at Hasty Ac-
ton of the Council.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The council at its last meeting grant
ed a petition of the Chicago & North
Western railroad that it be permitted
to lay a side track through the alley to
the malt house. The resolution granting
the petition was rushed through on mo-
ton of Alderman Deebach without any
consideration whatever. The usual course
has always been to refer such petitions
to the street committee, that they may
be thoroughly Investigated. The own
ers of the other property on the alley
are up in arms over the action of the
council. The resolution was railroaded
through, they say without their know
ledge that there was such move on
hand.
Henry Hillesheim was visitor at the
city hall today, and announced that he
would get out an injunction to restrain
the railway. company from using the
alley as proposed. He states that the
alley will be useless to the other property
owners if the railway tracks are to be
run through it,
As to the merits of this particular
case, The Free Press does not pretend to
know, but what it wishes to impress up
on its readers is the reckless haste which
I, ~ he IS 0f
the present council. Property rights are
one of the most sacred possessions of
the people, and aldermen should at least
all matters affecting them
before voting them away.
The people will be careful to see that
aldermen are elected this spring who
will give little closer attention to the
business before them.

DEATHS ROLL CALL.

From Saturdays Daily
henry Sctrurd-r. .Srv eighteen years
vi age, whose parents reside in Wase:l
county, died at St. Josephs hospital yes
terday afternoon. His death was caused
by peritonitis, the result of an acute
attack of appendicitis. The unfortu-
nate youth was stricken with acute APP
pendicitis about two weeks ago when the
roads were nearly impossible so that he
could not be taken to the railroad sta
tion and sent to Mankato. When the
roads became better so it were possible
this was done. He was brought to st.
Joseph's hospital with the hope that an
operation would save his life, but al
ready a general peritonitis had set in.
and it was felt by the physician that It
was too late to do him any good, con-
sequently no operation was performed.
He was boy of splendid habits and
liked by all who knew him. His brother
who came to the hospital with him re-
manned with him until his death and
took the remains home over the Chicago
& North Western road this morning.

CONSUMPTION'S RAVAGES.
0ne.fifth of the Deaths in March Were
Due to II.
From Saturdays Daily.

iiou SATURDAY Ldly
The report of Health Officer Hielscher
for March shows 81 births and 25 deaths.
OF the births, II were males and Is were
females. Of the deaths II were males and
S We're females. Five of athe deaths were
due to consumption and five to pneu-
monia. 1t is startling fact that one
fifth of the deaths are due to consump.
ton, which is preventable as well as
in some cases a durable disease. The
heavy death rate from consumption en-
batting this terrible disease.
Health Officer Hielscher states that
persons suffering from consumption
should be isolated as much as possible,
and should use separate linen. dishes,
etc. Whenever death occurs from con-
sumption the house should be thoroughly
fumigated. There is no law that makes
this obligatory, unfortunately, but the
health inspector has been instructed TO
offer to fumfgate each house where such
death occurs, charging one dollar there
for The city council ought to pay for
these fumigations as the general welfare
OF the city is involved.
During March there were three cases OF
smallpox and seven of diphtheria, but
no deaths from either cause. There are
today only two houses in the city under
quarantine, and these are for scarlet
fever =.
