AGED PAIR BURN
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter DanieIson
Lose Lives in Thsir home at
New Windsor.
cHARRED C0RPSEs FOUND
Lived Alone on Outskirts of Town
And Help Came Too
Late.

A terrible fate befell Peter Daniel
| ON and wife, an elderly couple living
outside the limits of New Windsor in
| Henry county. Monday night, both be-
ng burned TO death in their home
and coroner's jury is now Investigat-
| ing the case.
The community was profoundly
shocked by the news. for beth were
much respected and well known, as
they were residents of the locality for
So years They were in fairly good
circumstances and were passing their
declining years quietly in their home
Mr.. Danielson was bedridden and
was 10 years of age. His wife also
was subject to the infirmities of age
and was nearly blind. The two lived
alone in the house and tn nearest
neighbor is at some distance from the
place. They were lily fitted to cope
with fire and it is thought that they
net death while asleep.
Seen at Midnight.
1t was about midnight when the fire
was discovered and by the time the
neighbors assembled the structure wa
all ablaze, so that any attempt d
rescue was clearly impossible. beside
means to extinguish the fire were
acking Ii was evident that the old
couple could not have survived any
length of time. If they discovered the
ire. only Mrs. Danielson could have
acted.
Nor was it possible to save the
home. so all that those assembled
could do was to stand and watch tn
flames as they quickly transformed
he wooden structure to ashes. Early
n the morning as soon as the heat
had subsidized sufficiently to permit an
examination. the search was begW
and the bodies of the victims were
found among the ashes of the building.
The bodies were terribly burned and
charred.
The Origin Unknown.
How the fire originated is not
known Some think that it may have
started from the explosion of lamp
and others that it may have originated
n some way from the stove.
So far as can be learned there is no
evidence of foul play and il is not be-
lieved that the couple had much
means in the house.

Wonderful Erosion.

A curious effect of the wear and
tear to which the earth's crust is ever
being subjected is exhibited in the sin
gularly capped pinnacles existing on
South river, in the Wasatch noun
tains, in Utah. There are hundreds of
these slender pillars, ranging in height
from 40 to 400 feet, most of them
crowned by large caps of stones. They
are not works of human art as might
be imagined, but are the memorial
monuments of the hill from which they
have been cut by the action of air
and water. Those pinnacles alone re-
main Of many square miles of solid
rocks, which have been washed away
to a depth of some 400 feet The
greater hardness of the surface has
caused it to resist corrosion more than
the underlying rock, thus leaving huge
caps of stone perched high in air on
the points of their columns One dou-
BILE column, capped by a single stone,
forms a natural bridge both unique
and picturesque.

Proner Treatment Of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a di-
sesse for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physisi-
clan should always be called. It
should be borne in mind, however,
that pneumonia always results from a
cold or from an attack of the grip, and
by the proper treatment of these di-
seases a threatened attack of pneumo-
mia may be warded off. There is no
question whatever about this. as dur
ing the thirty years and more that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been
used, we have yet to learn of single
case of cold or attack of the grip hav-
ing resulted in pneumonia when the
remedy was used. It is also used
by physicians in the treatment of pneu-
monia with the best results. DR.. W,
J. Smith of Sanders, Ala, who is also
q druggist, says of it: "I have been
selling Chamberlain Cough Remedy
and prescribing it in my practice for
the past six years. I used it in Gaze of
pneumonia and have always gotten the
best results. For sale by all druggists.
