Horace Bloomfield, Of jackson county,
Tor the State Senate from the three
Coast counties, The Echo takes occa-
sion to review the splendid record he has

ally been accorded him.

FIRE AT HATTlEsBuRd.
Plant Of the Newman Lumber Co.
Partly Destroyed.

Hattiesburg, Miss, March 24-The
lumber plant, known as the Newman
Lumber company, one Of the largest saw
mills and planers in south mississippi,
was partly destroyed by fire last night.
The plant was insured. The estimate
ed loss is supposed to be about $75, 900
or 100000.
The capacity Of the mill was 250,000
feet daily, and the company forwarded
on an average of eighteen cars daily.
The plant employed from three to four
hundred men.
The fire was first discovered in the en-
gine room, and was caused by hotbox.
Not only Hattiesburg win suffer this
great loss, but the mills along the lines
Of the G.. 6 s. l., New Orleans and
Northeastern, Hattiesburg and Leaf
River, and Mobile, Kansas City and
jackson railways.
Over three thousand people witness
sed the great fire. The city was
excited as it never was before. This
mill is one Of the main factors OF
support in the city, and the merchants
win feel the loss keenly. There will be
more than three hundred men thrown
out of employment.
1t is rumoreA that the mill will not be
rebuilt, which will mean heavy loss to
this city. The saw mill and dry kiln,
with large amount of lumber, were des-
troyed. The fine machinery in the mill
Is total wreck. The boilers were dam
aged, but were saved from exploding
by safety valves.

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
IS good TOO, but it is very hard
ito digest.
Fhe time to treat consump-
tion is when you begin trying
ito hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the llrSI lnOugAl
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
tion you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
|figidly regular in your treat
nent you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

The news of Mrs. Massie's death was
received in Bay st. Louis with much
sorrow. Largely acquainted here, she
had many friends, and these unite with
those at the Pass in expressing to the
family heartfelt sympathy. Mrs. Mas
sic was not only bright woman, but
one of unusual business ability, a musi-
clan Of much talent and a lady of much
refinement and culture, and by her death
the void which is caused win be hard to
fill. Identified with every interest best
for the community, Mrs. Massie was ever
first in church work and acts OF charity,
not only taking a lively interest but an
active hand.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN.

Reports from the New Thunder Mountain
Gold Fields grow steadily better. There will
undoubtedly be great rush into the district
this year. Last year the news concerning
the new discoveries of free-milling ore had
only begun to leak out and before October
more than 20,0 600 claims We're filed.
From every quarter there will be people
going to Thunder Mountain. and all will
want reliable information as to the best route
and how soon the trail will be open. MANY
who cannot go will want to invest in a good
property there, and the time to do that is now
when money is needed for mine equipment.
The Thunder Mountain Gold Mining and
Milling Company has a splendid property of
120 acres, across which there is a tremendous
vein Of tree-mllling ore 30 feet wide and Tun-
ming right into Rainbow Peak. Mr.. Charles
j. Perkins, General Manager of the Company,
spent all last summer in the district He Is
now at the Companys eastern offices in New
York, where he will remain until some time
in May purchasing equipment and describing
the property to all who wish to buv shares
he also possesses full information regarding
the district and makes it a point to answer
all questions about it, without charge, so that
all who are interested NAV write and get this
information free and at first hand
The Company which Mr. Perkins repre-
sents made its first public Offering of stock in
January, and so many subscriptions have been
received that great deal of the equipment
for the mine has been purchased and prepared
for shipment as soon as the way is opened for
travel.
1t is estimated that fully three millions OF
dollars of machinery and equipment is now
ON the way to Thunder Mountain for various
companies. One Of the companies sold stock
year ago at so cents a share and now it is
not to be bought for $500 per share Thirty
other mines are opened and are getting into
richer ore every day.
The property which this Company owns is
second to none in the district, and the more
one learns about it and its officers the greater
the desire becomes to own some of its stock.

Uses For the Bnbx Cnrrinre.

Did you ever notice the uses to
which baby carriages are put?" asked
tne observant man. Just look at those
children taking those puppies out for
an airing. The youngest child was
graduated from that perambulator less
than two years ago, I'll bet. The car.
rage is somewhat rickety now. and 4
careful mother would hardly intrust an
infant to it. but it makes a good play
thing for the children.
Il see laundresses wheeling baskets
or clean clothes home to their custom
ers In baby carriages. 1t beats walk
Ing and carrying a big basket. Only
this morning l noticed two poorly clad
girls gathering odds and ends of boards
thrown aside by carpenters who were
building a house. They put their stock
of fuel in baby carriage. l suppose
they will take the baby out in that
same perambulator this afternoon."-

WHO CAMMOT BE CURED.

Backed up by over a third of a century
OF remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the prOprietors and makers of

fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States for any
case of LeucOrrhea, Female Weakness,

cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure
They have the most remarkable record

Proportions of a Perfect Figure.

The height of a person with a per
feet figure should be exactly equal to
the distance between the tips Of the
middle fingers of either hand when the
arms are fully extended.
Ten times the length of the hand, or
seven and a half times the length of
the foot, or five times the diameter of
the chest from one armpit to the other
should also give the height of the whole
body.
The distance from the junction Of the
thighs to the ground should be exactly
the same as from that point to the
crown of the head. The knee should
be exactly midway between the first
named point and the ground at the
heel.
The distance from the elbow to the
tip of the middle finger should be the
same as from the elbow to the middle
line of the breast.
From the top of the head to the level
Of the chin should be the same as from
the level Of the chin to that of the arm
pits and from the heel to the toe.

The Air In n Room.

Given a medium sized sitting room
with four people and two gas jets, the
air must be changed every fifty min
utes to keep it pure. AS air is heated
it expands and becomes lighter per
cubic foot. If all the air is heated
equally, it remains at rest after expan-
sion, but if hot air is in the presence
Of cold air the latter, by reason of its
heaviness, forces it's way down and
drives the hot air up. The moving
force of air currents is the greater
weight Of the colder air. This. then, is
the force by which we are to drive out
foul air and put pure air in its place.
Pure external air will always drive
out foul air If you give 1t chance.
