Proper Trca tment of Pneu-
mOnia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself.
although he may have the proper
remedies at hand. A physician should
always be called. 1t should be borne
in mind. however. that pneumonia al
ways results from a cold or from an
attack of the grip. and by the proper
treatment of these diseases a threatened
attack of pneumonia may be warded off .
There is no question whatever about
this. as during the thirty years and
more that Chamberlain Cough Remedy
has been used. we have yet to learn of a
single case of cold or attack of the
grip having resulted in pneumonia
when this remedy was used 1t is also
used by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. DR..
W. J. Smith, of Sanders. Ala, who is
also druggist. says of it: II have been
selling Chamberlain Cough Remedy
and prescribing it in my practice for the
past six years. use it in cases of
pneumonia and have always gotten the
best results" For sale by p. d. Cot

Wisconsin State Capitol
Building Burned.

The Wisconsin State Capitol building
at Madison was destroyed by fire Satur-
day last. with loss estimated at $780,
600. The State carries only partial in
surance. being in the process of
changing from insurance in. companies
to a system of State insurance
The origin of the fire, which started
during the night hours, is believed to
have been a lighted gas jet in toilet
room on the second floor. The flames
were close to and ignlted vanished
ceiling.
The fire involves the building of new
capitol, a special session of the Legisla-
ture and the probable renewing of an
agitation in favor of the removal of the
capitol from Madison to Milwaukee.
Practically all the valuable State re-
cords are believed to be safe. Most of
them remain in masonry and steel vaults
in the ruins. and their safety depends
on the extent of the fireproof character
of the vaults. The State treasury had
only about 5000 in cash on hand
The fire practically devastated every
portion of the Capitol Building, with
the exception of the northern end. which
was saved, but which is in such dilap-
idated condition that it will have TO be
torn down.

Rochester, N Y, Swept by

The fire was in many respects similar
to that which swept Baltimore on Feb

gin IN the basement of one of the largest
dry goods stores in the city. The flames
ragged from o'clock in the morning un-

local fire department had to call on out
side departments for help. Four COM

Buffalo responded to the call for aid

to check the fire. 1t was not successful.
however. The absence of wind was the
only thing that prevented a conflagra-
ton like that in Baltimore. There was
no loss of life.
The cause of the fire was the blowing
out of the fuse OF moter in the base
ment of the Rochester Dry Goods Com
pany's store. i56 to 1863 Main street. The
various stores burned out gave employ
ment to hundreds of persons, and 5000
