FIRE DAMAGES THE FERTILIZER
DEPARTMENT OF THE PACK.
ING HOUSE
LOSS rs ABOUT $4,000
Dust is Isnited From Drying Furnace
Department Greatly Aided in Pre-
venting Flames From Spreading by
Location of Buildlng--lnsured.

From Thursdays Daily.
Fire broke out in the fertilizer de-
partment Of the John Morrell & Co.
Ltd, packing plant last evening at
7:45 o'clock, caused by an explosion
of dry dust which was ignited from
drying furnace The damage amount
ed to about $4,000, fully covered by
insurance
In the manufacture OF the fertilizer
at the plant, a fine dust arises from
the product and pervades the atmos-
phere throughout TIE building Fur
naces are used for the, drying process
and it was while the door of one Of
the furnaces was open, that the flames
from it ignited the dust, which ex-
ploded.
Both the packing house d the city
fire departments were called, but the
fire had gained considerable Roadway
and it took strenuous efforts on the
part of the firemen to get the blaze
under control and keep it from the
other buildings of the plant. In the
latter effort they we're greatly aided
by the position Of the fertilizer de-
partment, which stands at some dis
lance from the other buildings.
The roof of the building was burned
off and much damage done to the ma
chinery inside. Tie total loss, as
stated above, will amount to about
$4,000, it being as yet impossible to
determine the exact amount.

A TREACHEROUs TROUBLE

The headaches and dizzy feelings
that trouble SO many persons, are Oft
en- but symptoms of kidney complaint.
Kidney diseases are very treacher-
GUS. They come on silently, gain
ground rapidly. and cause thousands
OF deaths that could have been pre-
vented by treatment In the beginning.
Nature gives early warnings Of ev.
cry disease, IL you would but note and
heed them. Backache, twinges OF pain
when STOPPING or lifting, headaches,
faint spells and urinary disorders are
among the first warnings of kidney
trouble.
II these signals are unheeded, there
comes steady, dull, heavy aching in
the back and loins, noticeable weak
ness and loss Of flesh, rheumatic at.
tacks, weakening Of the sight, irregu.
lar heart action, languor, attacks OF
gravel, irregular passages OF the kid
ney secretions, sediment, painful,
scalding sensation, dropsical bloating,
etc.
But there is no need to suffer long.
Doans Kidney Pills cure all kidney
troubles. This remedy has made a
reputation for quick relief and lasting
cures. 1t is a simple compound Of

1898 / made statement recommend
ing Doans Kidney Pills. I then stated
that our daughter, when very young.
had suffered an attack of la grippe
which affected her kidneys, leaving
them in weakened condition. She
partially lost the power of control and
as result was annoyed during the
day and her rest was frequently dis
turbed during the night. Seeing Doan'a
Kidney Pills advertised for such trou-
bles she got box at Will L. Sar.

brought her great benefit. Now after
eight years, can say that we still
think we'll of Doan's Kidney Pills and
believe them worthy Of recommends

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

Following is the proclamation of a
day Of thanksgiving by Theodore
Roosevelt, President:
The time of year has come when in
accordance with the wise custom of
our forefathers, it becomes my duty
to set aside special day Of thanksgiv-
ing and praise to the Almighty be-
cause of the blessings we have re-
ceived, and of prayer that these bless
Ing may be continued. Yet another
year Of widespread well-being has
passed. Never before in our history
or in the history of any other nation
has Il people enjoyed more Astounding
material prosperity than in ours a
arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride
and least of all a spirit of needless
disregard of our responsibilities, but
rather sober sense Of our many
blessings and resolute purpose, I'M
der Providence, not to forfeit them by
any action Of our own.
Material WelI-Being Only Start.
Material well-being, indispensable
though 1t Is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happfsass. If we build
nothing upon this foundation, then our
national life will be as meaningless
and empty as a house where Snly the
foundation has been laid. y Our
material well-being must be lived, in
prosperity so great that it shoGld
accordance with the laws Of the high
est morality, or else our prosperity it.
self will in the long run turn out a
curse instead of blessing. We
should be both reverently thankful for
what we have received and earnestly
bent upon turning it into means Of
grace and not of destruction.
To Meet In Home Church.
Accordingly I hereby set apart
Thursday, the 18th day of November
next, as Il day of thanksgiving and sup
plication, on which the people shall
meet in their homes or their churches,
devoutly acknowledge all that has
been given them, and pray that they
may in addition receive the power to
use these gifts Alright.

set my hand and caused the seal Of
the United States to be affixed.

CHILDREN TAKEN lbY
 HUSBAND
Mrs. Watson of Globe Is Un- successful In Her Search for Her ChiIdren-Their Where
 aboutS Unknown at Present.

TOMBSTONE, Nov. 22.-Wednesday
 morning there stepped from the in, coming train from Benson a young.
 we'll dressed looking woman. who ap-
 parently was suffering from mental agony. It did not take the reporter long to determine that there was something in the wind. and perhaps a good story.
 The woman was Mrs. Grace L. Wat son, formerly a resident of Cochise county, but at present a resident of Globe. She was here for the purpose of trying to locate her two children, who hat been tal<en from her by her
 husband. or rather by her sister-in- law, and taken to Douglas with the un
 derstanding that they were to be kept there until she could provide a place for them.
 This was in the month of April. MT and Mrs. Watson had separated some
 time previous, and she is now suing for divorce in Gila county. The
 children were taken to Douglas and
 kept for few months, and then were
 brought here by MT. Watson, who
 placed them first in the care of Mrs Tracey in this city and afterward
 they were given into the care of J. A
 Saunders and wife. who kept them up to few weeks ago. when they were taken away by Mir. Watson, who left for Pearce. The children are two
 and five years of age respectively
 Mrs. Watson was unable to find any trace of her children here, as it was learned that MT. Watson had left Pearce a few weeks ago. and 1t was
 supposed that Watson had taken the children with him. The woman is determined to try and locate the man and her children. who she most earn. estly wished to recover.
 Since the woman left here on her return to Globe. it was learned that the oldest child had been left in Pearce by its father. and that the youngest had been left with a family at the Leadville camp, few miles from Gleason. The whereabouts of MT. Watson is not known at the pres ent time. He was employed in. this city for some time, first in the employ of the Red Barn, and later employed at the mill of the Tombstone Consoli. dated Mining Company. He left here for Pearce. but was number of weeks in getting there. having gone to Pata- gonia and other places before he ar rived in Pearce. He then sent back for the children.
 Mrs. Watson was given all the as sistance possible while she was in this city, and the friends she made immediately sent word to her of the whereabouts of the children as soon as their location was discovered.

l know a quiet wayside path
 Down through 0 shady wood To see 1t where it winds away It certainly looks good. Romance is woven in the leaves And hovers in the air. But I'd advise you not to go.
 For horrid snakes are there. know a pleasant rural dell
 With blossoms in its sward: A brooklet runs along the way And murmurs OCT Q ford; Through ieafy branches overhead The sun can hardly pierce. But the mosquitoes that abound Are really something derce. I know a stream that runs away Through meadows low and sweet. To sit upon its bank and fish Would seem to be a treat tried it once upon a time,
 And can tell you-straight got three minnows and a carp
 For all my pains and bait But that's the way 1t is In life.

 Or strictly on the square We reach our hand to grasp a prize. And. 10. 1t isn't there.
