Local fires seem to be the order of
the day. The dwelling house Of G. p.
Darling caught fire Saturday, and
it was only by quick and hard work
that it escaped destruction. Again on
Tuesday, an alarm was given that the
residence Of Dave Courier was burn
ing. The fire was discovered before it
had gained much headway and was
easily put out. Defective flues were
the cause of both fires. Some Of these
times we will awake-but too late-to
the realization of how little we are
prepared to cope with fire.

Unknown to Women.

Every woman should read, without
fail, the following paragraph. She
will learn something about herself she
never knew before.
Thompson's Barosma is not only a
wonderful kidney, liver and bladder
cure, but has a particular advantage
as a remedy for Chronic Female Weak
ness, Palpitation of the Heart, bearing
down sensations, Nervous Debility
Leucorrhoea or Whites, and DropsicaI
Swellings. Its peculiar advantage lies
in the fact that it is both female reg
ulator and kidney, liver and bladder
cure The womb is situated back Of
and very close to the bladder. A wo
man having any pain or distress in the
back or side at once attributes il TO fe
male weakness when many times her
trouble is entirely from the kidneys or
bladder Hence woman making this
grave mistake will find a sure remedy
in ThompsOn's Barosma. for whether
she is suffering from womb disorder or
any disease Of the kidneys. liver and
bladder BarOsma will effect a perDa.
nent cure. For this two-fold reason
Thompson's Barosma is the best wo-
mans remedy on the market. ThomD
sons Dandelion and Mandrake Pills
should be used with the Barosma, for
the liver and constipation. They are
purely vegetable and do not gripe.

wARREs SENDING GUNS TO ROUND TOP.

WARREN SENDING GUNS TO ROUND TOP.
" whipped when daylight of July 2
revealed to him the Federal line estab-
lished on the crests Of Cemetery ridge
and Cups hill. and nearly all Of them
agree that he was certainly whipped
when Warren seized upon Little Round
Top. But Lee thought otherwise.
While giving directions to his generals
on the morning Of July to hurl q col
umn of $1,000 men against the Federal
center under Hancock he found them
lacking in enthusiasm, doubling the
wisdom of further sacrifice. Shaking
his fist at Hancock's bivouacs along
the crest, lie exclaimed, They are
there, and we must get them~
Perhaps he had a fighting chance.
There was only one move left for the
Federal commander If Lee kept up his
aggressive fight-namely, retreat by
the single road passing along the east
slope behind Hancock's line. If Pick
etts fresh column could storm those
heights and turn their guns upon that
road, 4 feat like Marshal Soult's as
sault on the heights of AusterlitZ,
which gave Napoleon his dazzling vic
tory. Meade's army would be cut in
two.
And Pickett almost succeeded. His
Virginians and the Tennesseeans who
marched with him almost gained the
crest. CALAMITY closing the gaps made
in their ranks by Bancock's shells.
A thousand fell where Kemper led,
A thousand died where Garrett bled.

And crossed the works with A-mistead.
But they got no farther. That was

line was smashed. He had kept Long
street from Round Top for over Two
hours. There was one man-Just one
in the army of the POtOmac-lookinS
out for Round Top. That man was
host i'm himself-Gen G. X. Warren.
the engineer of the Federal army.
Warren had climbed the mountain
peak Just to see how much there was
of Longstreet, what lie had back OF
him and what he was trying to DO IN
his sudden attack on Sickles. From
the hill lie looked over the battle field
at its base and saw Confederate troops
marching along the edge Of the field,
ienorin. the fighting all around them
and heading for Round Top. He knew
then what Lee had OWNED hours be-
fore-that the masters Of Round Top
were to be the masters Of Gettysburg.
Hurrying down the mountain, with
ont waiting for orders from his chief
Warren halted battery which he met
galloping to the front to aid Sickles in
a fight already lost. Pointing out the
hill to the captain Of the battery, he or
dered him to drag his guns up there
and open f@ on Longstreets march
ing troops. Just then General Weed
came riding up in the wake Of the bat
terry at the head of his brigade, which
was going double quick into the whirl-
pool of Sickles' hopeless fight. War
rem directed him to march his men to
the summit and defend the guns. The
battery reached the summit Of Round
Top just as Longstreet's skirmishers
struck the last stretch Of the climb on
the other side.
The leader of the battery, Captain
Hazlett, was shot down the moment
he showed himself on the rocky crest.
Weed followed him up the hill and also
followed him to death. Longstreets
men were swarming halfway up the
hill, but though the Confederate tide
was rising the Federals were still on
top. HaZlett's guns and Weeds rifles
poured shells and bullets down upon
the Confederates below, and the hill
was saved. During the night the Fed
eral troops who had deserted Cups
hill to its fate and hurried TO SickleS
aid returned and next morning drove
Ewells men from the heights. So on
the morning Of the third day Lee saw
his foe still unconquered in spite of
second whipping in battle.

at Gettysburg insist that Lee was real

BUTCHERY OF HEBREWS
DETAILS OF THE UPRISING AGAINST
JEWS IN RUSSIA.
At Least 100 Men, Women and Chill
dren Killed and Over 1000 Wound
ed by the POpulace of Kisheneff.

NEW YORK, May S.-The central COM
mittee for the relief of the Kisheneff suf-
ferers has given out a statement which
reads:
1.-The full story of the terrible massacres
which occurred In Kisheneff, the capital of
Bessarabia, on April q to April %, is now
coming TO hand in the shape of showing
that at least 100 Jewish men, women and
children and some others who defended
them were butchered and that over 1000
persons were wounded. One telegram says
that van loads of cripples were sent to
Odessa, the nearest city, where many
went mad. owing to the terror which pre-
vailed in Kisheneff.''
The immediate cause of this terrible in
cident is a blood accusation charge raised
against the Jews of Dubosary, TO which the
city officials of Kherson and Odessa went
prior to the Russian Easter in order to
deny the story, as IL was generally known
that a plot had been patched TO signalize
the Easter holiday by general massacre
of the Jews. The Governor of Kisheneff
himself was warned. but paid no heed. for
II was only after the excesses had lasted
three edays that the Jews were given per-
mission TO shoot their assailants. and
thousands of troops were rushed to Kieff
to patrol the streets and guard the peo-
Pile The alarm spread TO kien, where,
however. the officials announced that as
sault on Jews would meet with severe
punishment. The Odessa community faced
the situation by arming itself. Notwith-
standing, Minister Van Pienuve has started
an investigation and undertaken to protect
the Jews as the rioting Is spreading to
the whole Of Russian Jewry.

State. did not examine all the witnesses
who had been subpoenaed, and his exam
ination was not regarded as broad and
searching as II might have been. Attor-
neys for the defense were fruitful in OBJ
jections, and kept the court busy deciding
technical points raised. There were rev
witnesses for the defense, the burden or
the proof being that while Mr.. Rose did not
turn over The funds on the day he retired
from office. the fact that the money was
all paid into the treasury as soon as the
exact shortage was learned and that Rose
failed to take the $4,000 that was in bank
subject to his draft and also failed to sell
his property and take the money with him,
was evidence that he did not intend 10 de-
fraud. IL was also shown that he was in
bad health when he left, and stress was
laid on the claim that he was not respon-
sible at the time of his departure.
In his charge Judge Shively dwelt at
length on the question of intent in connec-
tion with the failure to pay in the money
on the day Roses term expired The judge
also overruled the defense in its conten-
ton that the indictment was bad because
the date of Roses election and qualitica-
ton failed to correspond with the dates in
the indictment. The courtroom has been
filled all day, and interest on the part or
the public is undiminished in the case.
