panic occurred at the morning service
In st. Michael's Italian church here
yesterday In which almost a score Of
persons were injured. Four Of the
most seriously injured, two women
and two children, were taken to the
New Haven hospital. Some one in
the congregation shouted fire" dur
ing q prayer and Immediately the
worshipers arose and rushed for the
door at the rear Of the church. the
only exit. Women and children were
trampled upon and dragged along the
floor by the others in their endeavor
to get out Of the building and in the
height Of the confusion some one sent
in q fire alarm. With great dificulty
the flremen succeeded in forcing back
the struggling mass that had become
wedged in the doorway. Finally, when
the building was freed Of people, two
women and two girls were found on
the floor badly hurt The injuries Of
the others were attended by ambu-
lance surgeons and physicians, but no
reason for any one giving an alarm Of
fire has been discovered.

So all afternoon and part Of the eve

add that she arrived home safe.

HEREGToN. March 29.-The propo'

In the 10th century who was killed
somewhere In this vicinity, according
to the scientists and historians, 10 not
meeting with unanimous enthusiasm.
Captain Henderson was in the city
last week consulting with our citizens
concerning the Padilla monument.
He had plans and estimates on .
monument that would stand some
twenty-five feet high and makes an
imposing appearance. Mr.. Brewer
himself very generously donates $3.50
toward the project and the remainder
Of the matter is up to the people Of
Herington.
The HeriDgton Sun says that there
is something to be mentioned on the
other side and remarks: The way
things now stand 1t will be necessary
to raise some $500 and probably more
before this monument could DO ready
for unwilling. The question Of funds
for the purpose may prove perplexing.
II would be easy to raise that amount
for any public purpose In the city but
the trouble at present is 90 many
things are needed. Improved water
system, electric lighting plant, sewer
age. improving the csmstery and beau
tiiying the city park public library

A Natural Result

1t is very reasonable to suppose If the
foundation Of a structure was removed
that the building itself is bound to
come down. This same principle can
be applied to disease. Take medicine
into the system that win remove the
cause of sickness, and illness will leave
of itself. Dyspepsia, indigestion, sick
headache and b~illiousnsss have their
foundation in stomach disorders. Re-
move this weakness and the other
symptoms are no more. There is one
cure for this that all druggists sell for
csc per box. II is DIR. Gums Improved
Liver Pills. They get right at the be-
ginning Of these diseases and make the
cure by taking away the cause.
For sale by DIR. s. G. Stone, druggist.
