Look to Your Plumbing.

You know what happens in a house
in which the plumbing is in poor
condition-everybody in the house is
liable to contract typhoid or some
other fever. The digestive organs
perform the same functions in the
human body as the plumbing does for
the house, and they should be kept in
first class condition all the time. If
you have any trouble with your diges-
tion take Chamberlain'S Tablets and
you are certain to get quick relief.

Fire in Locked Freight Car.

At clock Monday afternoon fire
alarm was rung in from box Is on
Bridge street and when the fire depart
ment reached there it was found to be
a lively blaze in a locked carload of
baled broken paper stock which a short
time before had been set on the store
room track between the mill of the
Moore & Thompson Paper company and
the shipping room of the International
Paper company The origin of the fire
Is unknown as the car had not been
opened but was probably smouIdering
inside when it was received Other
freight ears and the shipping shed were
within a few feet and for time the
tiames leaping high, and dense smoke,
semed to indicate danger of eommuni-
eating to other valuable property. A
switching enine was hustled to the spot
and pulled the ear away from other
property and where the streams of the
hremen could do execution. The roof
and upper parts of thee ar were de-
stroyed and the stock soaked with tons
of water before the fire was out. The
ear at first stood but a few feet from
where the serious fire of the Rocking.
ham Paper company of few months
ago was and the dense smoke rolling up
gave rise to the explanation that the
mill of the Moore & Thompson Paper
company was on fire, which was not the
case, and no damage was done outside
of the car and its contents.

Among the many characteristics of
life in Holland, to be presented by Ly-

smokers the Hollanders are. 1t is the
indulgence in this habit, combined with
fine peculiar climate, that makes them
the calmest. most deliberate and phleg
matte race on earth. Tobacco smoke is
called their second breath and a cigar
or pipe is in evidence with them so in
cessantly that it is like a sixth finger
of their hand SO confirmed is this
habit, that many Dutehmen 20 to sleep

will and testament was extraordinary.
After bequeathing his worldly goods to
his relatives. he directed how he should
be buried, as follows: 81 wish that all

peeially invited to my funeral. Each
of them shall receive a package of to-
baceo and two pipes, and they are re-

shall be enclosed in a coffin lined with
the wood of my old cigar boxes. Beside
me in the casket shall be laid my favor

a package of tobacco. When my body
is lowered into the grave, every person
present is requested to pass by and east
