Gold when refined from all impuri-
ties,' said a jeweler, "and alloys Of in
ferior metals is denominated pure.
This means gold Of twentyfour carats,
and this is the standard recognized by
the mint master and dealers in gold.
AS a matter of fact, however, there is
no gold so pure. Gold of twenty-five
carats is about as pure as it can be got.
1t has two parts of silver or one part
of silver and one part of copper. The
copper darkens the color of gold, while
silver lightens it in color. Twenty
three carat gold is occasionally seen,
which means a half carat of silver and
of copper. Ordinarily eighteen carat
gold is the best gold than can be had.
Certainly it is the best for jewelry, for
pure gold, as it is called, is too soft and
will wear away much faster than the
owners of 1t desire.

Melting Snow Causes Flood

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 14-Swamp-
ed by a succession of warm rains, the
snow on the western slopes of the
Cascade mountains has melted and
flowed into the river at. the base
of the mountains, thereby resulting
in one of the worst floods in this
section OF the country for years. All
bridges have been swept away, tel
egraph and telephone wires are down,
the train service of the Northern Pa
citc is completely deranged and up to
the present time one life has been
lost. The whole country between Au-
burn and the Cascade mountains is
reported to be flooded. The full ex-
tent Of the danger and damage is
difficult to ascertain, as all wire COM
munication is interrupted.

-Four Burned to Death .

Coldwater, Mich. Nov. 14.-Mrs.
Charles Mowry and her three chill
dren, Homer, aged years, Louis
aged 3 years, and a baby of months,
were burned to death early Wednes-
day in their home on farm at Ba-
tavia station, some miles southwest
of this city, Charles Mowry, the
husband and father, rose early and
built two fires in the house. He
then went to the barn to do chores
and while there discovered that his
house was afire. He rushed back, :,
but the flames had made such head
way that he could not enter the
house, and his calls through the win
dows to his family brought no re-
spone. 1t is thought that the moth
er and the children were suffocated
to death while asleep.

A Woman's Health

Is a heritage too sacred to be expert
mented with. For her peculiar and deli
cate ailments only medicines of known
composition and which contain no alco~
hol, narcotics, or other harmful or habit
forming drugs should be employed. Such
medicine is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription-a remedy with a record of over
forty years of cures to recommend it; a
remedy, the makers of which print it's
formula on every bottle-wrapper and at
test its completeness and correctness
under oath; remedy devised and adapted
to woman's delicate constitution by an
educated phySician-an experienced spe-
cialist in wOman's diseases; remedy,
every ingredient Of which has received
the written endorsement of the most emf
nent medical writers of all the several
schools of practice for the cure of woman's
peculiar diseases; a remedy which has
more bona -Jide cures to its credit than
any other sold by druggists for woman's
special requirements. 1t is not given
away in the form of "trial bottles" to be
experimental with, but is sold at fair
price by all dealers in medicines.
If a woman has bearing down, or drag
ging pains, low down in the abdomen, or
| pelvis, backache, frequent headaches,
dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and
easily startled, has gnawing feeling in
stomach, sees imaginary floating specks,
or spots before her eyes, has melancholia,
or "blues," or a weakening disagreeable
drain from pelvic organs, she can make
no mistake by resorting to the use of Dr.:
Pierces Favorite Prescription, 1t will
invigorate and tone up the whole system
and especially the pelvic organs.
No woman suffering from any of the
above symptoms can afford to accept any
secret nostrum or medicine of unknown
composition, as substitute for a medi-
cine like DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-

the discovery of a new counterfeit
$40 Buffalo" United States note.
This counterfeit is apparently pho
tographic production printed on two
pieces of paper with silk fibre dis
tributed between them. The face
of the note is grayish black. The
numbering, seal, large X 10 are of
good color and workmanship. The
check letter and plate number do not
appear in the lower right hand cor
ner. The back Of the note ds dark
blush green. BY itself, this coun-
terfeit is apt to deceive, but when
handled with genuine notes, the
marked difference in the color of the
back should lead to it's immediate de-
lection.
