There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a. great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment

Henry Miller's beautiful play, "The
Rainbow" which he is bringing to
the Valentine for an engagement of
two evenings and one matinee begin
ming, Friday April 4 gives him the
essentially modern role of father
whose daughter is seventeen when
first she puts her head upon his
shoulder. His acting in the role is
admirably and tenderly modern. AS
one of the best known critics in New
York said last season, his acting
"adds dignity and distinction to the
American stage" And the work of
the star is made doubly effective by
the simple unaffected playing of
Ruth Chatterton as the daughter.
Miss Chatterton is just the age of the
character she depicts-seventeen-and
she is a living embodiment of sweet,
blithe, ingenious girl without trace
of artificiality. These two characters
carry the important episodes of The
Rainbow" aud MIR. Miller's own su-
perb acting as the father together
with the unaffected simplicity of Miss
Chatterton as the daughter make the
shifting scenes of the story seem like
happenings from actual lille. Mr..
Miller will be supported here by
the original New York Cast.

Fire in Hunts Store.

~~-~~
One of the worst fires in the
history of Meridian occurred Mon.
day night in the building owned
by Jack O'Brie and occupied by
r. r. Hunt, with stock of gener-
al merchandise. This well-known
establishment carried a stock OF
$4,000 worth of goods, consisting
of dry goods, clothing, and grocer
les, and this was damaged to such
AN extent that very little OF it can
be placed on sale as good stock, as
the fire, smoke and heat practical
lily made the destruction complete
The fire was dissolved at ii
o'clock at night, the smoke com
ing from the basement windows.
The fire boys were soon on the
scene. and water from two hose
was poured into the basement, and
this continued for an hour before
lany change was evident. The
flames, bursting through the floor,
demonstrated that the fire was not
being touched by the water, and
\ it was then that prompt and de-
| cisive action was taken. A front
window was broken and the water
was poured directly into the store.
For awhile it looked as though the
place was doomed, ard neighbor-
ing stores, including the First
National Bank, meat market,
barber shop and billiard hall, as
we'll as several other structures in
the block were in line for destruc-
ton. Meanwhile the immense
amount of water was having its
effect, and the flames died down.
bat ii was 2:30 o'clock before the
place was out of danger. The
/ smoke kept the firemen out of the
/ building, but later entrance was
gained aud a hole cut in the floor,
when the fire was soon extinguish-
ed.
The firemen worked like veter-
ans, and are to be praised for their
efforts. The water works saved
| half their cost to adjoining build.
ings, which would surely have
burned. Water estimated at 50,-
900 gallons was used, and this was
4 the amount in the tank when the
| fire started The pumps we're i'm
mediately started and water was
| pumped from the we'll a little
| faster than used, so that the two
| hose could have been supplied
| for an indefinite time.
| Insurance was carried on the
building, which was damaged to
the extent of 81, 1000. E. f. Hunt
carried insurance Of $4,000, Of
which $1,000 was in the Tate
Agency, of Boise, represented by
Il. @. Pfatile, and the balance in a
company represented by w. w,
Groves. Insurance Adjuster Hall
came down from Boise yesterday
and made arrangements to adjust
! the loss.
How the fire originated is un-
known, but started in the base
m ent, near the center of the room
This was store place, used for
eggs, meats, etc.
There was a small damage to
the billiard hall adjoining, caused
by smoke and water.
Mr.. Hunt states that he will
probably continue business, but
in a different location.
