Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases,
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to help Nature overcome the
germs, and such results are indirect and
uncertain. Liquozone kills the germs,
wherever they are, and the results are in
evitable. By destroying the cause of the
trouble, it invariably ends the disease,
and forever.

WIScONSiN'S CAPITOL BUILDING
AT MADISON PRACTICALLY
COMPLETE LOSS.
LITTLE INSURANCE ON STRUCTURE
VALUABLE RECORDS IN FIRE
PROOF VAULTS BELIEVED
TO BE UNFRAMED.

Madison. Wis. Feb. 29.-The Wis
consin state capitol building was to-
tally destroyed by fire during the day
with a loss estimated at 100000. The
state carries only partial insurance,
being in the process of changing from
insurance in companies TO system OF
state insurance. The fire involves the
building of a new capitol, special
session OF the legislature and the
probable renewal of the agitation in
favor Of the removal of the capitol
from Madison to Milwaukee.
The flames, which were caused by
lighted gas jet in a toiletroom igniting
vanished ceiling, at 6:15 a. M. had
completely rrined the east and west
wings. The local fire department had
ten streams of water playing on the
flames with but little effect and the
Milwaukee department arrived shortly
after, but taO late to render assist
ance.
At s O'Clock the flames were burst
ing from the extreme windows OF the
north and south wings and an hour
later the building was total loss.
Records Believed to Be Safe.
Practically all the valuable state
records 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.
Governor Schofield maintained in
surance on the building throughout his
term totalling 100000, but the last
legislature instituted an insurance
fund and directed the states officers
to allow the insurance policies to
lapse. In June last there lapsed $5l0,-
900 and in December the sum of $780,
600. There is in the insurance fund at
the present time about $4,000 to meet
the loss, which conservative estimates
place at 100000
All the contents of the immense law
library, situated in the north end OF
the building, were carried out, to-
gether with a large quantity of other
books and papers. These were stacked
in huge piles upon the snow in the
park surrounding the building and,
with the exception of slight damage
from the snow, will not be materially
hurt.
Included in the burned portion was
Grand Army hall. The battle flags
and other army relics were saved.

The Democratic Congressional Con-
vention was held at Elizabeth ON
Thursday, and nominated James E..
MARITIME for Congress, without oppos-

give its forty-two votes to MARITIME.
In view Of this Flanagan will be sell
ected as elector to succeed Curtis.
Mr.. Salmon himself said before the

from Warren also favor me- How

NEW GOLF CLUB HOUSE

Plans Secured for a Wooden Sprue-
ture to Cost About $4,000.
The directors of the Norris County
Golf Club have decided to erect a new
club house. Plans were secured months
ago for large brick structure, but the
club decided that the plan was toe
large and costly and new plans by the
same architect, George T.. Freeman,
have been secured and will be sub
mitted to contractors for bids. The
structure at present planned will be
of wood, considerably larger than the
old club house and it is estimated will
cost about $4,000. 1t will stand
nearer Madison avenue and ito the
east of the old house, am additional en-
trance being provided ON Madison
avenue, and viii face the avenue
rather than the punch bowl.
The proposed house will be of the
Georgian style of architecture and
will contain q large assembly room twc
stories high, locker rooms for men and
women, large dining NOON and small
Ter ones adjoining, besides Kitchen,
pantries and rooms for tae servants.
The capital stock Of the club will be
increased to sloO, ,Ooa, to meet the ex-
pense OF the new structure, most Cd
the extra $50, 1000 having already been
taken. Another change in the gov
ernment of the club is the increase of
the directors to fifteen, the regular
and associate members electing seven
of that number and the stockholders

Ameng the many complimentary no.
tices of abe parade is the following
from the Hackettstown Gazette:
Greet FIremen's Demonstration.
The people of Northern New Jersey
have never witnessed a firemen s
demonstration that anywhere near
equalled the demonstration at Morris
town on Wednesday. There were
twenty of the best departments in the
State in line with their apparatus, and
each headed by band of music. We
know of no similar affair handled
with SO much promptness and judg-
ment, and the hospitality Of the Nor
ristown Department and citizens was
unbounded. The procession travelled
nine miles through the beautifully
decorated streets of the most beautiful
and exclusive residence town in the
State The decorations In the busi-
ness section were most elaborate and
tasteful Every company in line was
cheered, but the loyalty Of the towns
people to their own Department was
noticeable and inspiring, and best
OF all it was deserved. No town in the
State has better equipped OF bet
ter managed department Some of
the best known men in the town are
active members Of the department.
Ex-Mayor Quayle was at the head of
his company, andshe would have been
voted the handsomest man In uniform
il Newton had not come along with
Andrew Vanblarcom in a place Of
honor. At the end Of one line, hold
ing his place during the entire long
march, was Dan Voorhees, with a hat
as heavy as his heart was light. At
the far end Of the next company, mod
estly marching in THE rear, was Robert
ID. Foote, the millionaire banker, as
alert and active as a boy. TO name
the men would be to call the roll OF
honor in Morristown.
Warren had two companies in line,
Washington and Phillipsburg, and
there we're no better looking or better
equipped companies in the line, TO
have enjoyed the spectacle was a gen
uine treat; to have been guest OF
the Morristown department was an
honor
