Forest Fires in Maine.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 1.-Forest fires
are burning In many sections of Maine
and the situation has become serious,
although not as bad as in July and the
early part of August. The worst re-
ports were from Hancock county,
while in Androscoggin county the town
Of Lisbon was threatened on account
of shift OF the wind. The town Of
Surrey also was in danger.

SETTLERS TO START ANEW

Reported. s.
Duluth, Sept. lD.-A heavy rain has
fallen at Grand Marais, extending
westward from there fifteen or twenty
miles. While not extinguished the
forest fires are held in check as a re-
suit of the storm and Grand Marais,
Chicago Bay and other north shore
settlements that have thus far es-
capped the flames are considered safe.
The steamer America arrived from
north shore points, bringing this intel
ligence and the further news that Mr..
Monker and the seven Indians who
went with him to the assistance Of the
settlers north of Grand Marais are
home again safe and sound. Shortly
after they left the north shore town
their retreat was cut off by the flames
and it was feared they might have
persisted. An avenue of escape was
left open to them to the northward,
however, and they got away from the
fire without much diff Guilty.
The America brought in only very
few refugees. It is believed the SET
tiers will be able to return to their
land within a week or two. Practically
all of those burned out intend to start
in on their homesteads anew. With a
little outside assistance they will be
able to take care of themselves nicely.
There is still considerable sickness
among some of the children, but con-
ditions are rapidly getting better in
this respect. The situation is now we'll
in hand.
Sheriff earhart has been in close
touch with the situation from the
start. He expresses the belief that
there is now no further danger. The
rain brought joy to every one in the
afflicted district
''The seriousness of the fires has
not been exaggerated" said Mr.. Car
hart, "but the damage to standing tim
Der will not be as great as at first
reported"

Port Arthur, Ont, Sept. ALL
danger of bush fires, which have

Greensburg, Pa, Sept. z5.-That the
drought is responsible for diphtheria,
now near the epidemic stage here, is
the belief of board of health mem
bers. The drought has made the flush

dent Clements of the health board
states the diphtheria cases are direct

Electricity Does Not Kill.

s'Not murderer whose body ever

in use in New York and New Jersey
was ever killed by the electric current.
All met their real deaths from the dis
secting knives by the surgeons or were
smothered in quick lime with which
their bodies were surrounded after their
so-called deaths" That is the state
ment made by DR.. Peter ]. Gibbons,
following the resuscitatiOn of laborer
supposedly killed by electricity in a
city manhole. DR.. Gibbons is petit
tioning the state authorities for leave
to resuscitate any criminal ''killed" n
W ant to embarrass the state, but
as a means of proving that in the hun

many life now lost may he saved by

In support of his contention DR.. Glib

Taylor, whom he says came 10 life i'll
Auburn prison after he had been killed
by electricity in the death chair. "Tay-

TESTED AND PROVEN
ABLE TO DEPEND UPON A WELL
EARNED REPUTATION.

For months Staunton readers have
seen the constant expression of praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read
about the good work they have done in
this locality. Not another remedy ever
produced such convincing proof of
merit.
I. E. Dulaney, musician, living on
Jefferson ST., Lexington, Va, says: 81
known Doan's Kidney Pill to be a
splendid kidney remedy from personal
experience. l had a severe attack of
kidney trouble, being seized with sharp
pains through my back and loins and
for two days being unable to leave my
bed or even turn over in it. When l
did get up the pains were so intense
that | was forced to walk in stopped
position, at the same time suffering
terribly. My kidneys seemed to be
contested and felt like two hard Jumps
in my back. The secretions from these
organs were also terribly disordered
and very scanty. AT last l decided to
try Doan's Kidney Pills, and procured
a box. After using the contents great
improvement was noticeable in my
condition, and continued using them
until was improved in every way. |
am still taking Doan's Kidney Pills
and cannot say too much in their
praise"
Plenty more proof like this from
Staunton people. Call at B. F. Hughes

PROGRESS ON THE vIRGINIAN.

Mr.. Raymond DuPuy, vice-president
and general manager of the Virginian
Railway, is quoted in report from
Norfolk as saying that much of the
steel work for the large coal pier at Sc
wells Point has been received, and in
several days construction will begin,
and work is being pursued on its ap-
proaches, and the extensive yards at
that place. The Virginian is also MAX
ing great progress on the building of
its line in the western part of Virginia
and in West Virginia. In the latter
State a high trestle of steel has just
been built over gorge west of Prince
ton. This viaduct is 1872 feet high, and
is supported by steel piers resting on
stone foundations. 6
