Through a mistake we ac-
quired more hose than origi-
nally intended for this sea-
son. And for that reason
we intend that the public
shall profit, or have the
chance, by our mistake.
We handle, for the most
part. one-half inch hose, for
these reasons: The same
connections and nozzles are
used on the half-inch as on
the three-quarter hose,
therefore one will throw
just as much water as the
other. And then it is much
lighter and nicer to handle
These reasons, taken in con-
nection with its strength

It is worth considerable to any
citizen Of Sistersbille to know
how to be cured Of painful, annoy
ing and itching piles Know
then that Doan's Ointment is a
positive remedy for all itchiness
of the skin, for piles, eczema, etc.
One application relieves and
soothes. Read this testimony OF
it's merit:
Mrs. Sadie Ranger of 60S 9Th
street, Marietta, O., says: "Mr.
Ranger has had no reason to
change his opinion about Doan's
Ointment which was expressed
in our Marietta newspapers in
1900. He had been troubled with
hemorrhoids for some time, and
this was the first remedy which
afforded him positive and com
plete relief. We have used Doan's
Ointment in our. family as need
has arisen with the children and
find there is nothing to equal it
for relieving itchiness or irrita-
ton of the skin which they have
been troubled. Doan's Ointment
is all that it is represented to be,
and we give it our most earnest
endorsement"

BOTTLE IS PICKED UP
SET ADRIFT BY COL. SWALM, Il
is FOUND AFTER 662 DAYS
IN THE SEA.

London, March 20.-When Colonel
Swain, of Oskaloosa, Iowa, the Amer
ican consul at Southampton, was
journeying from Montevideo to Eng
land via New York in May, 1903, he
placed his card, together with those
of several other passengers, on the
steamship Tennyson, in a bottle, and
intimated that the finder on returning
it would receive a reward of $5.
The bottle was thrown overheard
in latitude 1880 and longitude 68:1O
Nothing was heard of it until the
other day, when Colonel Swain re
ceived word that it hao been found
on the Donegal coast of Ireland, neal
Arranmore, by a man named Call
who returned the cards.
The bottle evidently had been car
ried by the gulf stream along the
North American coast and across the
Atlantic to the Irish coast, to reach
which point it had taken 662 days
the journey being made at an approx
innate rate of five miles a day.

Party of Twenty Meet a
Like Fate.

Charleston, w. Va, March 20.--As the
result of a horrible explosion of gas in
the Rush Run and Red Ash mines near
Thurmond Saturday night, "a men now
lie stark in death in the two mines. Ten
ofthese were killed in the explosion Sat-
urday night, and the other IA were res
cuing party who entered the mine Sun
day morning to take from the mines the
charred and blackened remains Of their
fellow workmen. These latter were
killed by second explosion and the
after damp.
Explosion Was Terrific.
The first explosion seemed to shake
the foundations of the mountains and
the angry twin flash from the two
neighboring drift mouths lighted up
the heavens for miles around. The
first explosion was caused by a max
ed" flame coming in contact with gas.
Flames leaped from the drift mouth
and set fire to everything in reach
that was not blown from harms way
by the explosion.
The great drum, by which the load!
ed cars are run from the drift mouth
down the incline to the tipple and the
empties drawn up, was blown from
its moorings and down the mountain
side 600 feet, while the drum house
caught fire and was consumed. The
cars standing at the mouth of the
mine were blown far down toward
the tipple and much of the track of
the incline was destroyed. The rails
were twisted and the cross ties were
whipped from their beds in the bal.
last and sent, scorched and charred,
many yards away. The big fan that
furnished air in the mine was so
uadly damaged that it was several
hours before it could be started
again.
The Second Explosion.
A rescue party of twenty men en-
tered the mine in search of the bodies
Of those who had perished at the first
explosion. The men explored the
mines for two or three hours, putting
up brattices so that pure air should
follow them wherever they went.
Finally six Of them came out and
reported that the other fourteen were
going forward faster than the good
air was supplied, carrying at the
same time a naked" light. Soon af.
terwards another awful explosion oc.

were dead.
