Duluth, Minn., Nov. 29. — In one of the most terrific gales in the history of Wisconsin on the Great Lakes, even surpassing in fury the terrible storm of last September, in which so many men lost their lives in the vicinity of the Apostle Islands, three big lake 'steamers were yesterday driven ashore within .sight of the lighthouse at the entrance to the local harbor. The wrecks are the Crescent City and the Mataafa, of the Pittsburg Steam ship Co., and the K. \V. England, owned by the England Transportation Co., of Cleveland. Detroit, Mich., Dec. I.—A Detroit.

The boat went on in a northwest gale and heavy snow storm yesterday. The crew is safe. Tugs have been unable to reach the steamer Holland, high aground at Rogers City. Late reports say two large holes have been stove in her side and she will probably be a total loss unless released in a few hours. Duluth, Dec. 1. —Dashed on the rocks 40 miles north of Two Harbors, the steel steamer George Spencer and her consort, the Amboy, of the Tona wanda Steel Co. line, are wrecks at Thomasville.

All of her crew were saved, with the exception of the mate. Milwaukee, Dec. 2. —The steamer Harlem arrived here Friday with 17 men of the crew of the steamer Charles Parnell, which was burned op. posite Squaw Island, Lake Michigan, on Thanksgiving day.

The steamer' Sir William Siemens arrived Friday at Ashland and reported seeing wreckage from the Owen. Detroit, Dec. 2. —The Journal says 149 lives have been sacrificed, over 70 ships wrecked and a loss of nearly $7.- 000,000 has been sustained in the three big storms on the Great Lakes this season.

The last time they cured me, and now I am able to get around and do all my work, though 1 am fifty-eight, and I can walk to Sunday School every Sunday. Before I took Dodd s Kidney Pills 1 was so bad I could use neither hand nor foot. I shall keep Dodd's Pills on hand all the time. ' Rheumatism is caused by L'ric Acid crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy kidneys remove all Uric Acid from the blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot remove this Acid, which collects in the blood and poisons every vein and artery. Dodu s Kid nay Pills cure Rheumatism by curing the Kidneys; bv healing and strengthen ing them, so that they can rid the blood of all impurities. Sure Enough. "I'm from Beantown." "Boston?"
