LIT FIRE WITH KEROSENE

Mrs. Estella Kennedy, one of Plant
City's most estimable ladies. died at
4 p. m, the victim of angry flames.
resulting from an explosion of a can of
kerosene. Mrs. Kennedy had started
to build a fire in her stove and as is
often the case with ladies', she picked
up the kerosene can to pour a small
quantity of oil on the wood. AS quick
as a thought. a flame shot into the air
an explosion following. Her clothes
were ablze in a moment and before
help could arrive to extinguish the
fire two-thirds of the surface of the
body had been fearfully burned. Doc
tors were called and did all in their
power to relieve the unfortunate VIC
tim, but the burns were too serious.

From the way the cotton movement

here in September is expressed. Brok-
ers doing business direct from the
Cotton Exchange with the interior re-
port the offerings fairly free, and with
every indication that they will in

AS long as prices hold up the belief
is that cotton will move to port as
fast as it can be picked and ginned.
There are now a half dozen steamers
in port, and others are being posted to
arrive for September loading.

His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.]
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big ace n fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterward his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat gave him a very bad diarrhoa
which it seemed almost impossible
to check, and along in June the case
became so bad he expected to die.
One day one of his neighbors brought
him one small bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and in a few minutes the dose was re-
peated. The good effect of the med
icine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a fortnight. That n
little bottle worked a complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.
The season for bowel disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For sale by

MAYOR GARTER HARRISON OF CHICAGO.

MAYOR CARTER HARRISON OF CHICAGO
Of the foundation of its municipal gov
eminent during the early part Of this
year. Just what form the observance
will take has not yet been decided, but
the ceremonies will beft the occasion,
and the details will soon be perfected.
The Chicago celebration is to be
largely historical. Not quite a century
has elapsed since the first permanent
white settler erected his home in 1904
on what is now the site Of the great
city of Chicago. He had been preceded
a few months by the soldiers of Uncle
Sam, who had erected a little palisade
fort and O blockhouse on a narrow
point Of land at the mouth of the Chi
cago river. This was named Fort
Dearborn.
The first settler was John Kinzle,
who died in 1923. His home was the
first family residence built in Chicago,
and zeal where it stood on the north
side Of the river gigantic warehouses
stand today.
The event that signalized the founda-
tlOA VI NIilCuBO IN lAV bCSilliLh9 VI -
new epoch in that part of America ly-
ing west of the Alleghanies occurred
July 4, 1903. The United States gov
eminent In seeking an advantageous
location for an outpost had chosen the
present site of Chicago.
1t is to commemorate the choice OF
this spot as the site of Fort Dearborn
that the centennial celebration is
planned. But it is not planned to cele-
brate the founding of the city any more
than to glory in its growth and its abil-
ity to Withstand the many disasters
that from time to time have almost
erased it from the map.
In 1872 the entire population Of the
future city consisted of John Kinzie
and his family, a French laborer, a
Mr.. Burns and his family, Captain
Head, Lieutenant Helm and Sergeant
Holt and their families and sixty-four
soldiers. The United States had de-
clared war against Great Britain, and
the Winnebagoes and Pettawatomies
became hostile.
In August an order came from GEN
eral Hull for the little garrison to go to

Erected on the site of Fort D~earborn.]
the centennial deem the one hundredth
anniversary of the founding of Fort
Dearborn as the time to exult over the
indomitable courage of the founders
and builders of the western metrop-
oils.
New York city's celebration will com
memorate a less important event-the
establishment of local rule. New York
city IN 1868, then known under the
Dutch rule as New Amsterdam, first
obtained the concession of local gov
eminent. Until that period the pa
troons held sway. Their life, surround
ings, dress, amer and jurisdiction
were the quintessence of feudalism,
with the exception that they were de-
MED the power of introducing political
changes without the consent of the
Dutch government.
The PATRONS were succeeded by d.
rector Kieft of the Dutch West India
company, which held many conces-
sions, and Petrus ~Stuyyesant, who sur
rendered New Netherlands TO Richard
Nicolls, deputy of the Duke of York,
in 1864, in the war between England
and Holland. New Amsterdam then
became New York city, and under Eng
llsh rule the local government was in
troduced.
The first mayor of the city was cho-
sen in 1865. He was Thomas De La
vail. The chief executives were ap-
pointed at that time by the common
council, and it was not until 1888 that
the legislature enacted a law whereby
the mayors could be elected.
Ninety-three mayors have held the
office since 1866 up to the present time.
Seth Low. former president of Column
bia college, is the present chief execu-
tive of the city of New York, the lar
gest city on the American continent
and the second city in the world In
point Of population and wealth.

Ladies' and Children Invited.

All ladies and children who connot
stand the shocking strain of laxative
syrups, cathartics, etc, are invited to
try the famous Little Early Risers.
They are different from all other pills.
They do not purge the system. Even
a double dose will not grip, weaken or
sicken; many people call them the Easy
Pill. w. H. Howell, Houston Tex,
says nothing better can be used for con-
stipation, sick headache, etc. Bob
Moore, Lafayette, Ind, says all others
grip and sicken, while DeWitt's Little
Early Risers do their work well and

Of sandy shore the column marched.
To the west, on the ridges, trooped the
Indian escort, composed of 500 braves.
Everything went well until the settlers
and soldiers reached what Is now the
foot OF Eighteenth street, when Cap
tain Wells came riding furiously back
from the front and called out that the
Indians were preparing to make an at
tack. An instant later the red men be-
gan firing.
The troops answered the charge, but
the friendly Miamis fed In terror and
left the settlers to the attacking In
dams. Captain Wells stood his ground
and fought CALAMITY, but was killed.
The Indians scalped him and tore his
heart from his body. Tbs troops then
fought past the Indians and reached a
slight eminence on the prairie, but
were forced to surrender, with the con-
dition that their lives were to be spared.
In the fight the Indians lost about ff-
teen killed, but about fifty of the whites
were massacred. All the wounded were
killed and mutilated. The next day the
Indians burned Fort Dearborn. This
was Chicago's first disaster.
There stands today on Eighteenth
street a monument erected to commem-
crate the slaughter of the settlers who
unwillingly trusted themselves to the
guidance of the treacherous natives.
For the next twenty years the settle
ment grew but little. The town of Chi
cago was incorporated in 1888, and in
the same year its first newspaper ap-
peared. The town grew rapidly. In
1887 the city was incorporated. Then
came the great fire of 1871, when near
~ 10000 buildings were destroyed and
100000 people made homeless. Chica-
go, undaunted, reared a greater and a
more magnificent city.
1t is this spirit that has overcome all
trials, that has thwarted repeated dis
aster and kept up the march of prog
ress that the proposed celebration Is
designed to honor. The promoters OF

Quicksands.

Quicksands have a horrible fascina-
ton for writers and readers of fiction,
and the reality is every bit as bad as
fancy paints it. One of the most re-
markable quicksand accidents occurred
years ago In New Zealand. Two pros
pectors were wading across the mouth
of a small stream running into the sea
In the north island of New Zealand.
Both stepped into a quicksand. One
who merely touched the edge of 1t got
loose. The other sank rapidly and, In
spite OF his companions efforts, was
sucked under. When an attempt was
made to recover the body, it was found
that the sand was enormously rich in
gold. From a single ton of it eco
