ciaD-After suffering from Kidney
Disease for three years, after taking
treatment from six different doctors
without getting relief, Mr.. 1. j. Lau-
deman of this place found not only re-
lief but speedy and complete cure in
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Speaking of his
cure Mr.. Laudeman says:
Eyes, l suffered from Kidney Trou-

case of Kidney Trouble from Backache
to Bright's Disease that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills could not cure. They are the

so deficient in observation as not to

reprimand from the father, who told

Granada, Spain.-It was no mere

that such action will be taken.
Of1cialdom for years has neglected
the Alhambra in a fashion which would
have outraged Washington Irving, and
the present condition of the wonderful
monument of Moorish elegance and
grandeur is merely the natural result.
For several centuries the greed and in

errors permitted the wonderful pile to

EXPLODING OIL TANKS.
Seen at the Time of the Great Fire at

1900 barrel tank, causing an explosion
which spread the fire to three other huge
tanks, thus unloosing sea of burning
oil. and causing an immense amount OF
damage.
In the fire at Findlay the great tanks
furnished almost unlimited food for the
flames, says special to the Journal
here. A billow of dense smoke rose
from the roaring caldron 1000 feet
straight in the air. 1t spread as it rose
until it hung like an immense balloon,
black as midnight in the center, but
Redeemed about the edge and at the bot
tom with the flames that leaped hum
dreds of feet in the air. The spectacle
was majestic in its awful superiority to
anything that man could do.
For an hour the pillar Of fire hung over
the burning tanks, then the wind rose
slightly and the great pillows of smoke
and flame were swung away and grad
ually aoated with the wind. For score
of miles the dense cloud hung together
SO that people miles away could read in
it as 1t passed overhead the story of
wholesale oil destruction.
To prevent the fire spreading as the
burning oil ran out of the tanks the
~orkmen. with horses and plows and
with shovels, threw up an embank-
ment about the oil buildings. much
like an immense circus ring, SO
that the oil was held in a pool inside
the embankment. and the buildings
