SEARCHLIGHT DAZES GEESE.
Fifty Drop to Steamers Deck and Are
Killed by Passengers.

AS a result of q terrific gale OH the
coast and Great Lakes large numbers of
fowls which use these water ways have
been driven inland. Many sea gulls and
other birds belonging to the lake region
have been killed in Kentucky and sever
al have been killed in this county. This
is also the time of year for wild geese
to migrate and thousands have been
passing over.
An unsual occurrence took place. on
the steamboat Lizzie Ray. The night
was very dark and the captain and pilot
of the craft were guiding her slowly
with the current when someone hailed
the boat from the Kentucky shore. The
captain switched his powerful search
light in that direction and the reflection
caught a big flock of wild geese flying
high above The powerful light blinded
the geese so they could not fly and they
fell Straight down, alighting on the deck
of the boat, and some of them got in the
first cabin. Like heavy cannon shot
they beat their heads so in attempting
to escape that they were stunned The
steward of the Lizzie Ray, accompanied
by passengers, slaughtered the geese,
which numbered fifty.

A Heavy Load to Carry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be
cause a disordered stomach does not per-
NIT the food to be properly digested, and
its products assimilated by the system.
The blood is charged with poisons which
come from this disordered digestion, and
in turn the nerves are not fed on good,
red blood, and we see symptoms of nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness and general break
down. 1t is not head work, nor over ply
steal exertiOn that does it, but poor stom-
ach work. With poor, thin blood the
body is not protected against the attack
Of germs of grip, bronchitis and conSump-
ion. Fortify the body at once with Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery a
rare combination Of native medicinal
roots without a particle of alcohol or
dangerous habit forming drugs,
A little book OF extracts, from promi-
nent medical authorities extolling every
Ingredient contained in DR.. Pierce's
Coded Medical Discovery will be mailed
free to any address on request by postal
card or letter Address DR.. r. Y. Pierce,
Buffalo, n. Y.
Many years OF active practice convinced
DR.. Pierce of the value Of many native
roots as medicinal agents and he went to
great expense, both in time and in money,
to perfect his own peculiar processes for
rendering them both efficient and safe for
tonic, Alternative and rebuilding agents.
The enormous popularity of vGolden
Medical Discovery" is due both to its
scientific compromising and to the actual
medicinal value of it's ingredients. The
publication of the names of the d1gfedj-
e1ttS on the wrapper of every bottle sold,
gives full assurance of its non-alcoholic
character and removes all objection to
the use of an unknown or secret remedy
1t is not patent medicine nor a secret
one either, This fact puts it in q class
abby itself, bearing as it does upon every
bottle wrapper The Badge of Honesty, in
the full list of it's ingredients.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" cures,
weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
torpid liver and biliousness, liberation of
stomach and bowles and all catarrhal af-
fections no matter what parts or organs
may be affected with it. DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are the original little
liver pills, first put up 40 years ago. They
regulate and invigorate, stomach, liver
and bowels. Much initiated but never
equaled. Sugar-coated and easy to take
as candy. One to three dose.

Frost Makes Fat TURKEYS.

Gold weather makes fat turkeys -
said the poulterer. ''Why?"
Because. in a warm fall, the ground
keeps soft, the vegetation fingers on and
the fields are full of worms and bugs.
What's the result? The result is that
the turkeys, from sunrise till dark,
tramp the tempting fields on long for
ages, eating the worms and bugs, which
thin them, and walking all their soft
and fine flesh into tough, stringy muscle.
"A cold fall. with early frosts and
SHOWS. freezes the ground and kills the
bugs. Then the turkeys are not tempted
to wander They loaf in the farmyard,
gorge an abundance of grain. and put
on flesh like a middle-aged woman at a
seashore hotel.

resistible bug, The turkeys do their ff-

Big Tree Like a Volcano.

Flames issuing from the top of live
redwood tree is the sight that can be
seen in the state park in the Big basin
This is the third time in fourteen months
that flames have been visible. The fire
is burning constantly, but at times sc
slowly that it is not perceptible. The
heart OF the tree is decayed and it burns
like a punk until the blaze burns q hole
through the trunk. This forms a vent
and causes the smouldering embers -
burst into flames. The tree was 140
feet in height when it first took fire,
Now it is but 80 feet high.-Santa Cruz

System of Fire Alarm.
EDITOR OF ExPosIToR:-

EDITOR OF EXPOSITOR:-
Our village is now thriving, new
buildings are constantly increasing
with up-to-date and modern improve
ments and consequently we are in
need of better fire protection. With the
system of fire alarm now in use a man
at the extreme end of the town may as
well sit down and watch his house
burn, as it would by the time he
could sprint TO the power house to give
the alarm. Valuable time is lost i'll
making the run to the power house
and time also lost in getting men with
hose TO the fire.
What is needed in any town where
there is fire protection is a first class
fire alarm system with alarm box at no
greater distance than 600 feet, requir-
ing eight boxes for Main street. Side
streets could also be equipped each
year with SO many alarm boxes. All
factories would also have one box in
building so to send in quick alarms.
each factory furnishing its own alarm
and wire TO connect TO nearest wires of
system. Such would not be expensive
TO tax payers. Each year so much
could be appropriated TO install as
many alarms as are agreed upon by
Jne people.
Each alarm announces the number
OH the box. Such alarm could be made
by power house whistle. Each business
place and hose house would be fur
nished with printed card giving To-
cation of each box. Every man would
know where to go directly. In case of
fire such system would be for the
betterment OF all concerned.
