RIVER OF LAVA
Mount Vesuvius Is Again in Active
 Eruption.

Naples, Arril 10-The white hot lava from t'r belching crater Of Mount Vesuv:ls, which has been flaming thousand feet high for the past four hours, this afternoon com pletely destroyed the town of Bosco Trocase, on the southern slope.
 The town had population of 4,- 300 and many of the inhabitants had had abandoned it before it was de- stroyed
 Very little could be learned as to how many people had been unable to leave the place before the streams of lava encircled the outskirts and prevented escape. It Is certain, how ever. that all those who were caught by the descent of the flaming flow have perished. The lava in great sluggish. burning streams. had been coming down the western and south ern side all night and could be plain }y seen by the light of the terrible eruption,t incandeecent~ stoAe.. .-r earth rising thousand ,'feet above crateh's mouth. .o , /, .s-Y Y <t

Pittsburg.-1t requires the aid of a mirror to decipher the ehirography of Otto Ansehutz, aged 10, who was sent to the Institute for Feeble-Mind- cd Children at Polk. Pa. today by the officers of the juvenile court.
 The little fellow is exceedingly bright. but he refuses absolutely to be taught how to write from left to right, though he uses the style of penmanship in vogue in the public schools at the present time. Every thing written by him has to be trans posed to be read.
 He even writes figures backward and reads them in the same manner. The boys mother accompanied him to Polk. where the instructors will try to break him of his one queer habit.

WHOLESALE THEFT
Three Wagon Loads ot Stolen Goods Taken From House on Fourth.

When Constable Frank Stewart and his men had finished the ranSacking of q house at the corner of Fourth avenue and Ohio street which had been used as a dwelling by Frank Walker, and had carried the stuff they found stored there to the DO lice court Wednesday night, the courtroom looked like the shipping department of some great wholesale house. There was enough miscella- neons stuff piled on the floor and the benches to set up d good sized country store, and it is estimated that the value of the lot is not much less than thousand dollars.
 Walker is the negro who was ar rested Monday night by Deputy Con stable Rice as he was rifiing car in the Iron Mountain yards. He gave his name then as John Jones, but II
 
 Eame is Frank Walker, and that he has also used other aliases, Jim Johnson and others, in the course of lis checkered career. A severe course in the sWeatb box made him divulge to the officers that he had hidden all the stuff he had stolen in the little house at the corner of Fourth and Ohio, and an examination of the house disclosed all the stuff hidden in the loft
 There were three goodsized wagon loads in the loft, and it took the off cers over two hours to get the stuff out of the house and carry it to the station. Shirts. necKties, shoes, ci- gars. photographs, hams, coffee, dish. es, whisky, chewing-gum, overalls, and almost every article of commerce Was included in the lot, and only a rough estimate of their value places 1t at several hundreds of dollars. The boty probably represents the thiev- cry of several weeks, and will be re- turned to the owners as soon as it can be sorted out and identified by the railroad company and the ship pers. The local authorities deserve great credit for the important cap tEre. which will have a great deal 10 do with breaking mp the practice Of footing cars in the yards here.

 Roman Governor.

Chicago. April 11.--"In Russia, that greatest of all hells the motive for persecution of the Jews today is the supposed religious inspiration dic- tating that vengeance must be wrought on the descendants of the race that is alleged to have crucified Jesus though as matter of cold. historical criticism it was the Roman governor and garrison in Jerusalem, not the Jewish people, who ordered the crucifixion, executed it and alone must be held responsible for it, said Dr. E. G. Hirsch yesterday morning at Sinai temple.
 If Jesus taught anything that Was startling or new to the Jews it is strange that the rabbinical and Tal- mudic scholars of the world have not been able 10 find it out in a quest of nearly 2,000 years. But He did teach and forbidden by their laws. He claimed to be a prophet or Messiah. To make such a claim was treason able rebellion against Rome and punishable With death So they cru ciied Him-they, the Romans, and the Romans alone"

GREAT WYOMING DAM.

The following are extracts from an
article on the great Wyoming dam, pub
lished in the Engineering World:
The Shoshone river dashes down u
narrow canon, with jagged and perpen-
dicular walls, and Mt its narrowest
point the government has begun the
construction of the highest dan yer
built 1t will cement together the two
canon walls for 240 feet above the
stream bed and its foundation will go
below the water line lightweight feet
additional, down to the solid bed rock.
The stream, where it passes between
these granite canon walls, is but six
ty-tive feet wide, and the dam will
form a great lake of 5000 acres, with
a watershed of 1850 square miles and
storing enough water to irrigate 1907
600 acres through seven miles of four
teen-foot tunnels bored in the solid
rock. Few such picturesque and Wild
ly beautiful Genes car be found as
this Shoshone canon. The river is a
succession of foaming, rushing rapids,
the water coursing along in a deep
green flood and then boiling over great
rocks and boulders in a white surge.
Only for a few hours each day can the
sun find its way to the bottom of this
deeply cut gorge, the mountain sides
towering into the clouds two and three
thousand feet.
1t is estimated hat 10000 barrels of
cement will be used in the construction
of the dam, and a roadway is now being
cut along the side of the for the
transportation and this and other ma
terials.

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does u head line SINH
lar TO the above greet us in the W
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness of the American people has a strong
tendency to lead up to ~valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir-
regular action, p~alpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations n other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients Of
which DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is made are recommended by some
of the leading writers On Mdterid Medicd
for the cure Of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, is said by the
UNITED STATES DIsPENsAToRY, a stand
ard authority, Uto impart tone and in
creased power to the hearts action"
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system in general,
and as the heart is almost wholly COM
posed OF muscular tissue, IL naturally
follows that it must be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most important ingredient
of Golden Medical Discovery so far
as its marvellous cures of ~valvular and
other affections of the heart are con-
cerned, is Stone root, or COltinSOnid Can,
Prof. VIM. Paine, author of Paine's
Epitomy Of Medicine, says of it:
III. not long since. had a patient who was
so much oppressed with yalyular disease OF
the heart that his friends were obliged to
carry him upstairs. He. however, gradually
recovered under the influence OF COllinsonin
medicinal principle extracted from Stone
root. and Is now attending TO his business.
Heretofore physicians knew of no remedy
for the removal OF SO distressing and so dan
gerous q malady. With them IL was all
guess work. and it fearfully warned the
afflicted that death was near at hand. Col
nnSonin unduestionsbly affords relief in
such cases. and in most instances effects a
cure"
Stone root is also recommended by Drs.
Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for
valvular and other diseases of the heart.
The latter says: vt is a heart tonic of
direct and permanent influence
rGolden Medical Discovery not only
cures serious heart affections, but is a
most efficient general tonic and invigor-
ator, strengthening the stomach, invig-
Grating the liver, regulating the bowels
and curing catarrhal affections in all
parts Of the system.
