THE REASON WHY
We So Strongly Endorse and Recon-
mend Vinol to the People of
Union CITY.
as securitit

One of the proprietors of the Red
Cross Drug Store says: "We do not
believe there is man, woman or child
in Union City whom our famous cod
liver oil preparation, Vinol, will not
benefit at this season of the year.
1--WE believe there is no need for Sc
many people to drag around rundown,
tired out and debilitated, or for old
people to remain weak and infirm
when we guarantee Vinol will restore
health and strength"
Continued he: For centuries cod
liver oil has been recognized as the
grandest OF all bodybuilding agents
for wasted human strength and vital
ity, but on account of the nauseating
and system-clogging oil which envel-
oped its curative properties few could
take 1t with benefit.
"In Vinol you get in concentrated
form every one OF the curative and
strength-creating elements of cod liv-
er oil actually taken from fresh Gods
livers, the useless, system-clogging oil
eliminated. and tonic iron added
"Vinol is guaranteed by over five
thousand Of the leading druggists OF
the United States to create strength
for old people. for the rundown, tired
and debilitated, weak, sickly womeG
and children, and after severe sick
ness.
I'VE ask every such person In Union
City to try Vinol. 1t costs nothing II
IL fails. Watson & Kinney, Props.
NOTE. While we are sole agents for
Vinol in Union City, it is now for sale
at the leading drug store in nearly
every town and city in the country
Look for the Vinol agency ia your
town.

The Great RellgiOus Awakening

There is at this time in our little
city of Trenton the greatest re.
vival that has ever been known
here, and in its manifestation and
results have perhaps never had
their equal in the state. In the lam
guage of Scripture we are led to
excl m, "What hath Go d
wrought" On the 18th of Septem-
Der, Evangelist Gordon w. Hill ar
rived and preached his first sermon
at the courthouse to good con-
gregation. Services were held
morning and night, and increased
in numbers and interest up to the
18th ult, when Evangelist George
c. Gates came and took charge Of
the meeting. Under the earnest
appeals of Bro. Hill, who had
greatly endeared himself to the
people, there had been twelve or
fifteen conversions. The weather
was very inclement, raining con-
stantly, night and day, but the in
terest had become so intense the
people braved the rain and mud,
coming in such crowds that the i'm.
mense auditorium was at times
overlooking; chairs h a d to be
utilized, and some even had to
stand. The stores and other places
of business close from 10 to III 80 a.
m. and at mig hit. All classes have
become aroused under the simple
but intensely earnest preaching of
the great evangelist. At the close
of the sermon, night and morning,
when the appeal is made to sinners
to flee from the wrath to come,
so many respond that the altar is
crowded with the penitent, seek
ing their salvation and crying for
mercy. Among the means and
groans of the mourners is heard
the shout of victory as the emanci.
pated soul is released from the
bondage of sin. The backslider,
who has long drifted away from
his duty and his God, returns and
with throbbing heart and fearful
eyes, re-enlists in the service of
his Master, whom he deserted years
ago, in the day of battle. The cold,
dumb church member, who has been
was never known to
speak in public, stands up in the !
great congregation and praises his
God with joyful countenance. At /;
The altar, in common search for ,
release from the tyrant grasp of
he Evil One, may be seen the man
who has spent a lifetime in the
service of the Devil; the reckless,
Young man whose only
Tim was to have good time; the {
voung girl, who has been chasing '
he frivolities and fashions of the
world; boys and girls who have b
houghtlessly given their time to {
un ond frolic. .
1t is an inspiring sight to see the i
pupils of the Fitzgerald and Pea
,ody schools marching down the
treet (400 strong) with their teach
RS singing There is a Fountain
FILLED with Blood" and the business
men of the town bringing up the
ear of the great procession.

PRAIRIE FIRE IN TEXAS
Billows of Flame Devastated 80G.100
Acres of Land.
Moro Than 1000 Head of Cattle Burned
and Four U~norganized Texas Coun-
tics Laid Wagte.

Lubbock, Texas.-The most d%estruct-
i've prairie fire ever known in the
Southwest swept over four large coun-
ties northwest Of here. 1t destroyed
the grass on more than 100000 acres Of
land in Hockey, Lamb, Cochran and
Bailey counties, burned more than
1000 head of cattle to death and de-
stroyed many ranch buildings. .
These four counties are u~norganized,
and there are no towns within their
borders. They are devoted wholly to
ranch interests. The fire started i'll
the northern part Of Hockey County
FIVE days ago and was swept south and
west by the high March wind that was
blowing. The grass was dry and OF
great height and it afforded fuel for
the flames that caused the confagra-
ton to become n of the grandest
spectacles ever witnessed in this re-
gion.
The fire raced with the wind across
the breadth Of two counties. covering
a distance Of fifty miles in a few hours.
This broad wall of flame then swept
south and west, extending its path OF
destruction for a distance of more than
100 miles and laying everything i'll that
broad scope of country waste.
Women and children who occupied
ranch houses lying in the path Of the
oncoming flames were rescued and car
ried to places Of safety on ieet-footed
horses. :
It is estimated that the losses caused
by the fire aggregated more than ST.
100000.

~DlESC:FORE CLASSMATES
Student is shockcl to reath by Elec-

holding Part of an Apparatus He
Receives $500 Volt Current ard .
Falls Unconscious.

Schenectady. n. Y.-Before the eyes
of his classmates, who were watching
IN experiment in which lie had volun-
teered to help, Paul Waite, a Junior
and a student of the electrical eng'l.eer-
ing course in Union College, vas killed
by electricity in the laboratory Of tile
college. The class of which Waite was
a member was gathered in the labora-
tory at 2 o'clock in the afternoon for
the usual lecture. and the instructor.
in illustrating his remarks with expert
ments, asked one Of the students to
help him. Waite stepped forward and
helped rig up the apparatus. which was
connected with the nigh tension cleo
trio service of he college.
The students were watching the cleo
trical apparatus curiously. when the
lecturer asked Waite to throw open the
switch. AS he did so his body came in
contact with an exposed portion of the
apparatus and 1900 volts passed
through his body. Waite Cell to the
floor unconscious, while the students
rushed forward to save Linn. The lee
turer ran out of the room and sum-
moned medical assistance, bringing
Dr.. Herbert l.. Towne. the physical
director, =, Cnce to the laboratory. Re
s]uscitallon was attempted. and for two
hours the physician and students took
turns in working vel Waite. He died
two hours after receiving the electrical
shock.
The college has been thrown into
mourning rs q result of the young
mans death. Waite was 4 prominent
'mDer of the Chi Psi fraternity and
was also one of the hest athletes in the
college. His home was in Fort Ed
ware, his rather being one of the veal
thiest men of that town.
Word of the young mans death was
sent to his parents, AID it was learned
here LAT his mother became hySterl-
cal. Waite: had been home the day be-
fore I'd Lad left his parents in q
happy frame Of nina. Before enter
ing the laboratory lie had arranged =
take Fart in an athletic tr:rnament,
and he had looked forward to winning
championship honors.
It was with a laugh that he stepped
forward to help fix up the apparatus
with which the instructor was to Illus
trate his lecture. The minds of all in
the room were concentrated on the eX-
pertinent which was to be made. and
there was no thought of tragedy.
When Waite suddenly fell to the hoof
the students were unable to realize that
anything serious had happened. Most
of those who rushed forward to help
the fallen man thought that he had
tainted. and when it was realized that
Waite had been killed before their eyes
many tears were shed.

HELD FOR PRINTING HANGING,
Three Newspapers Indicted Under q
Press Muzzling Statute.

Three Newspapers Indicted Under a
Press Muzzling Statute.
st. Paul. Minn.-Charged with violat-
ing the State law prohibiting the pub
fishing of details of a hanging. three
leading newspapers of this city have
been indicted by the Grand Jury.
The indictments are based on what
is known as the John Day Smith law,
passed in 1889, which forbids the pub
LEGATION of any more than a mere state
ment,of the fact that a convict was on
the day in question executed according
to law. 1t expressly prohibits the Sher-
if from allowing any newspaper re-
porter or representative to witness an
execution. No attempt has been made
to enforce the law until recently, when
Governor Johnson set the date for the
execution of William Williams. He
then cautioned Sheriff Miesen to obey
the law strictly.
The newspaper men were excluded,
but all of the three papers contained q
detailed account of the hanging that
day. 1t is probable that the case will
be taken to the Supreme Court to test
it's conStitutionality.
The indictments are against the cor
porations. and not the reporters who
wrote the stories.

Ashes Mako Mans Hair Vanish.

Rodney Clifford, of Mentonne, Mimi,
has a wood furnace in the basement
of his house, and, as he burns a good
deal of wood. large quantities of ashes
accumulate in the cellar. BE noticed
that his face and eyes smarted a good
deal from the dust. He worked bare
headed. and at last felt a smarting on
his head, where the dust had worked
into his hair, and, taking out his hand
kerchief to wipe the dust and sweat
away, he wiped every particle Of hair
off his head. The dust Of the ashes
had combined with his p~erspiration to
form a strong lye, which had eaten
into the roots Of the hair and caused it
to loosen and fall away al soon rs he
touched it. The effect was the same
on his beard, mustache, ey%elashes and
eyebrows, and the man was as bald
as a billiard ball as oon as he rubbed
his head and face.
