Pierce's medicines well exemplify, this,
and their friends, after more than two
the hundreds OF thousands. They have
smade good and they have not made
drunkards.
A good, honest. square deal medicine of
known composition Is DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale, while most OF the prepara-
tons that have come into prominence IN
the earlier period OF its popularity have
gone by the board and are never more
heard OF. There must be some reason for
this long time popularity and that Is To
be found In its superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rlor curative qualities are soon manifest:
hence IL has survived and grown I'm pop

articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon

Biske and John Boni were assigned
to the task OF closing the gate at this
particular point. Biske descended
the ladder alone, leaving his compan-
Ion on the surface. Before he reached
the bottom Boni heard him fall. Boni
called TO him, and failing to get any
response realized that Biske had been
overcome.
Boni notified his foreman by tele-
phone, and returning to the manhole
was lowered into II by means OF a
rope tied around his waist and hello
by several citizens. He, too, was over

unconscious. He recovered quickly
however. In the meantime the fire

undermined for some distance, and
street car traffic was seriously i'm
peded
The main which gave way Is 90
inch pipe on the north side OF the
street, and the first intimation those
in the vicinity had OF the accident
was when the water, after sweeping
through the sand under the pavement
for some time, found It's way to a
manhole and there burst forth In the
form a geyser six feet high.
The merchants on the north side
of the street were the heaviest suf-
ferers from the flood" William

Gratiot, had a surplus stock stored in
the basement and his loss Is between
$500 and $500 A. Laitner & Son,
brush manufacturers, estimated their
damage at $1,000. The basement of
the Reliable Tea & Coffee Co.'S store
at No. 81 Gratiot, was flooded with IL
feet of water, but the basement stock
consisted largely of crockery and can
ned goods. which were not affected
by the water.
The break caused a temporary wat
er famine in the neighborhood, but
employees OF the water board soon re-
plenished the supply by turning the
water through the six-inch pipe on
the south side of the street.
