A Distressing Accident.

Mrs.. Elizabeth Harrison, of North
Tazewell, was seriously injured on last
Saturday morning by the explosion of
the boiler to her kitchen range. The
explosion was of such force as to badly
wreck the room. the doors and window
of the kitchen being almost completely
destroyed. Fortunately. Mrs. Harris
son was just leaving the room and es-
capped with severe bruises. Had she
been near the range at the time of the
explosion no doubt she would have been
killed. The presumption is that the
boiler freezing up caused the explosion

AS prophesied by the Republican last
week, no definite action was taken "a
to who the candidate for Congress
should be, as there was too much un-
certainty as to what counties would be
in the Ninth after the Legislature that
met yesterday gets through with the
reoistrlcting of the State. The com
mittee itself could not agree, rs the
machine men of this county wanted
Iazewell to remain in the Ninth while
the anti-machine men wanted it tackled
onto the Sixth. AS e compromise rness-
ure' they passed q resolution asking the
Legislature 70 give early attention to
the matter of redistricting the State.

Street Cries in Minor Kew,

street cries are nearly always in
the minor key" says the Paris Jour,
nal des Debats. And an English com.
mentator AYERS that this key is main.
tanned in our own street cries-such
as Sweet Lavender" And he thinks
the explanation is that the minor key
involves less strain on the throat that
has to emit the same cry all day long.
But London cries are few OF them in
the minor key Of the Partisan boy
who heralds the evening on the boule'
wards with VOLTA lie Soir." Our own
newspaper boy has cultivated the rau'
cous monotone that collects politics
and murders into one simple yell,
There is nothing of the minor key
about the milkman's announcement
And perhaps the least musical Of all
cries is that Of the man who hawks
coal about the street. He does not
shout Coal" No stranger would sus
pect him Of coal. He emits only a
single below, repeated at short inter
walls, below without form or comeli
ness; it is the least common denomi
nator Of the street cry.

SQUIRREL SHOWS DEEP GRIEF
Mourns Over Severed Head Of Mate
With Intensity That Seems Al
most Human.

Almost every public park in the
United States has its lively and half
domesticated colony Of squirrels, and
there is no other creature Of the woods
and fields with which city children
may-and do-become so familiar. An
interesting story which shows the
depth Of feeling which these little ami
mails are capable, comes TO the Com
panion from Waterloo, Ia:
A physician who lives near one Of
the parks in that city had long had
an especial interest in a pair of sQuir-
rels which made their home in a tree
within sight Of bis house. One day he
noticed that one Of this pair was run
ming up and down a certain tree in
the park, meanwhile chattering in the
greatest excitement. Finally the lit.
tie fellow appeared on a branch. hold
ing between his paws the severed head
OF his mate, over which he was moan
ing and whining pitifully. On investi.
cation, it appeared that the dead SPUR.
rel had been caught and actually de.
capitated by a limb split off from the
tree by a storm Of the night before
The grief-stricken mate would not
abandon the body all that day, and
mourned over the severed head with
an intensity and absorption which
seemed almost human, with a depth
of emotion indeed, of which some hu.
man beings are hardly capable

CHAMBERS OR DIsTEMPER.

The question often arises on the
farm, Has the horse that Is a.ling a

The symptoms Of the two diseases 1t
may be difficult to arrive at a cor
rect diagnosis.
Mos everyone who has handled
horses has seen cases of dis smpar.

In swallowing. The ANIMALS coat is
rough and a general unthrtfty condi-
ton is very noticeable. In a very few
days a doughty swelling appears in the
angle OF the lower Jaw, thus causing
The animal to carry the head stiffly.
The swelling eventually softens OF its
own accord, breaks and discharges a
thick. creamy pus. Along with the
symptoms Will be seen a discharge
from one or both nOstHls, usually CON
Iinuing until complete recovery.
Dlstemper is highly contagious and
may run its course in three or four
wedis, ending in recovery.
Chambers, ON the other hand, as
usually seen, is more of a chronic
discharge. The most marked symptom
observed is a chronic, bloody dis
charge, usually from one nostril If
one examines the nose carefully
ulcers will be observed, from which
the pus escapes and drops from the
nostrils. After several months the
Emphatic glands located inside the
lower jaw will be found to be en-
Hanged and extremely hand. These
lymphatic glands do not form pus as

This form Of CHAMBERS VIII be noticed
a swelling of the lymphatics along the
inside of the legs. These glands tH
time soften and form pus. The pus
from a farcy leg is of a greasy natur'
