More Money Is Necessary

Books For Children.

One dollar was added to the school
book fund yesterday, this being con-
tributed by Mrs. D. 3. Rutherford,

donations to $93. so.
More money is necessary if the poor
children are to have books and attend
schools. It was thought that 500
would have been secured by this date,
and citizens in the city as well as re-
siding elsewhere are appalled, to in be-
half of the poor children of the city.
II is the desire 10 turn over 500 to
Supt. y. B. Cook at once. In fact
it was hoped that this could be
done yesterday, but the contributions
were not sufficient to increase the
total to 500. 1t is hoped that tonight

to make 500 or over. The donations
now stand:

Escaping Gas From Jet in
Room Caused Serious

CHAIR, BEING RENDERED UN-
CONSCIOUS.

Il. l.. Reese, of the firm OF Watson
Parker & Reese, had a narrow escape
Saturday morning from asphyxiation
and is now at his home suffering from
his experience, though a message from
there last night stated that he had al
most fully recovered from inhalins
the gas fumes and a fall incidental
thereto.
Mr.. Reese went to his room Friday
night, and striking match attempted
TO light the gas. For some reason
the gas did not flow, and finding he
could not light the jet turned 10 a
window and by opening the window
saw that sufficient light came through
to allow him TO unJress. He did so
and retired, not thinking about the
gas, which he had left turned on.
During the night the gas began to
flow. but for the fact that the win
dow allowed fresh air TO circulate he
would no doubt have been asphyxia-
ted. AS it was Hr. Reese awoke
about daylight He Immediately at
tempted to leave the room TO get
falling and striking his head on a
chair. The blow rendered him I'M
conscious.
Members of the family heard him
fall and went to the room. from which
they removed him and summoned a

pleased to know that he is now out of
all danger and will soon be able to be
at his place of business.

INTERESTING FACTS.
The Crystal Pharmacy Offers to Cure
catarrh. The Medicine Costs
NOTHING If They Fail.

| When a medicine effects cure in
/ SO per cent. of cases, and when we Of
fer that medicine on our own person
al guarantee that it will cost the user
nothing If it does not cure Catarrh
| it is only reasona BILE that people
should believe us, or at least put our
claim to a practical test when We
take all the risk. These are facts
which We want the people of Pe1sa-
cola to substantiate. We want them
| to try ReXall Mucu-Tone, a medicine
prepared from a prescription of a
physician whose specially was Ca
| tarrh, and who has a record of thirty
years of cures TO his credit.
We sell more bottles and receive
more good reports about Rexall Mucu-
Tone than we do of all other catarrh
remedies sold in our store, and if
more people only knew what a thor
oughly dependable remedy ReXall
Mucu-Tone is. il would be the only
catarrh medicine We would have any
demand for.
RexalI Mucu-Tone is quickly alb
sorbed and carried by the blood until
it thoroughly disinfects and cleanses
the entire mucous membranous tract,
destroys and removes the parasites
which injure and destroy the mem
branous tissues, soothes and heals
the irritation and soreness, stops the
mucous discharge; and builds up
