A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DIR. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which it extracts and
holds in solution much better than alco-
hol would. 1t also possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being valuable
demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and anti
ferment. 1t adds greatly to the efficacy
of the Black Chcrrybark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root, con-
tanned in Golden Medical Discovery in
subduing chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all of which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with
weak stomach. as in the early stages of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glycerine acts as valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about healthy condition
of the whole system. OF course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption except in its earlier
stages. It will cure very severe, obstin-
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn-
geal troubles, and chronic sore throat
with hoarseness. In acute coughs it is
not so effective. 1t is in the lingering
coughs, or those of long standing, even
when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that 1t has performed its most
marvellous cures. Send for and rea-l tho
httie Dook OF extracts, treating OF the

A Republican special from Fort Col
Inns says: The students and faculty OF
the Agricultural college were treated
to an unusual sight Friday morning
when Dean W. j. Carlyle's saddle
horse was led into the college chapel
with a silver-mounted English riding
saddle on its back. Glenn Bishopp pre-
scented the saddle to Dean Carlyle in
behalf of the Agricultural college
students as an appreciation of his
faithful services to the college and as
a token of the best wishes of faculty
and students for successful European
trip.
Students often play horse" but this
was the first visit of real horse to
chapel and the incident was the occa-
sion of wild applause from the assem-
bled students.
Professor Carlyle thanked the stud
ents for their gift and then outlined
the itinerary of his trip. He is the ex-

In Germany the minister OF foreign

Because OF the Increasing Importance
of the colonies, German statesmen arc

of the cabinet to be known as the CO.

years ago. says Youths Companion.

Denver and the northern part of the
state. He understood that his com
pany was going to work on the change

MICHIGAN FOREST FIRE.
Millions Of Dollars Worth of Property
Destroyed.

Milwaukee.-A dispatch to the Sen
tinel from Escanaba, Michigan, by a
staff correspondent, says:
Four known dead, score or more
persons missing, hundreds of families
homeless, several millions of dollars
of property burned, four towns wiped
out entirely and dozen more parti-
ally destroyed; five counties devas-
tated and 100 square miles of territory
fire swept. This is the dreadful pic
ture that the northern Michigan PENN
sula presents today after the worst
forest fire since the Peshtigo disaster
in 1871 has spent itself.
General Superintendent Wells of the
Escanaba & Lake Superior railroad.
along whose right of way the greatest
loss occurred, returned tonight from
a trip of inspection over the fire
stricken area, and says the flames
have gone down and for the time be-
ing the danger is over, unless new
gale arises to again fan the embers
into flames.
The following summary briefly tells
the story:
Peter LaFond, cook, was smoth-
cred in a lumber camp and his body
found tonight.
Three unknown children, all dead at
Quinnesec, Michigan. They were sep.
arated from their parents while the vii
lage was burning and persisted.
Scores of homesteaders and woods
men are missing and many have prob
ably persisted in the flames.
Territory devastated. five counties,
Marquette, Menominee, Delta, Alger
and Dickinson.
The territory fire swept is 100 miles
square.
Towns totally burned. Talbot, Michi-
gan, 100 population, only few houses
left standing.
Quinnesec. Michigan, 400 population,
only one house remains.
Saunders, $50 population, all wiped
out.
Niagara, Wisconsin, 800 population.
all wiped out.
Towns partially destroyed; North
land, Cornell. Antoine, Spring Valley,
Kingsley, Woodland, Foster City, Sala,
Metropolitan.
The fire ragged for distance of sixty
four miles along the line of the Escan-
aba & Lake Superior railroads and for
thirty miles beyond Claiming, the
terminus of the road. II seems certain
now that 1000 persons are homeless in
that district and that 1000 are left
desolate at Quinnesec.

A constant menace to public life
and health in the stockyards of Chi
cago is shown up by DR.. w. *.
Jaques, formerly director of the Chi
rago Laboratory, and in charge of the
meat inspection at the stockyards, who
tells In Worlds Work of the ineffi-
cheney and corruption of the local In
spection. Among other things, he
says: During the first month in

inspector made only one condemna-
ton for that month. and that of an
immature calf. Another inspector
made no report to me of any work
done during my entire term of office,
and / was powerless to compel him
to do so because of his political back.
Ing. 1t is needless to say that he
drew his salary regularly. Still an
other meat inspector was engaged in
a profitable side line of buying quar-
antined beef for packers. The &C
curacy and thoroughness of the work
of government inspectors can be
judged when it is estimated that from
1000 to 1900 cattle are often killed
under the eye of single inspector in
a day from eight to ten hours. Walk
