The Fourth has come anil gone and the people of this city are now wear ing: the laut-pla of a grand and success ful colouration. Th day was perfect nothing occurring to spoil the pleas ures. At an early hour the streets www filled with an eapor crowd of stent seers all nnxlous to find a place to view the big parade. The trades display was truly artistic and many were the original and pretty designs brought out. In some cases they were elaborate and twon many words of admiration along the route. Hon. Gnlusha Grow's speech lmme llutely after was probably the finest heard in this city, and no better per on could have been chosen to make the address of the day. The funny features xf the day were In the afternoon, when the fantastic parade came off. For the last two weeks the young people have been racking their brains for some new Idea, and that all this thinking was not without result was proved by the Ket-up iu the parade. The vocophone band played In faultless style Coxey's original army passed through the treets, and various other features formed part of the funniest parade yet seen In this city. In the evening occurred the bicycle parade at 7 o'clock. It vas a pretty Bight to see the wheels prettily dec orated with flags and lanterns pass si lently by. Many of the riders had their "bike" trimmed In a most elaborate manner. Later on the fireworks dis play took place. This was the finest sight of all, and being set off on the bluff west of the city could be easily seen from all parts. The large designs brought out many exclamations of ad miration, and when the last piece had been set off the people returned to their homes well pleased with their day's pleasures. THE RINK TO BE SOLD. It Is Now on the MitrkrtA Desirable liusiness Place. The property upon which the Metro politan rink stunds has been placed upon the market and the probabilities are that the appearance of the street In that vicinity will be greatly changed by the removal of the rink. James II. Paul has secured an option upon the property and offers it for sale at $15,000. The property is one of the most desirable business places in the city, and many offers have been made In the past for it. It is 60 by 1.10 feet in extent, and will probably soon be napped up by some live business man. PERSONAL AND OTHER ITEMS. Dave Barrutt aiient the Pnni-tv. n ai.i ley, N.

Lawyer Smith's Flyiug Boot Knocked the Crook Oft a High Hoof. From the Sun Francisco Examiner. When Lawyer Smith threw his old dooi at a miaou In the dead waste and middle of the night, and brought a burglar tumbling down fifty feet Into a pile of superfluous coal oil cans, the effect on Mrs. Brown's boarding house was unexpected. It all happened a lit tle before 2 o'clock on Sunday mornlna hi me ooaraing house of Mrs. M. K, Krown. 1034 Pine street. William San. born was the burglar who was fetched off his perch by E. V. Smith's deadly boot. He had crawled along a glass roof In the rear of Mrs. Brown's house to reach one of the windows. Smith heard him crawling on the roof, and at once concluded that the thing was one of the unnecessary rats that have been serenading him with perseverance and regularity. He threw up his window, "Scat!" "M-l-a-o-u," said the burglar, to en couraice Smith In his belief. Now, Smith knew he was loaded for cats. He had been storing an old boot under his bed for Just such occasion. With one mighty swing, away went the boot. Then came the rattle, the pumplty-bump-bump and the final crash among the coal oil cans fifty feet oeiow. "Good Lord, what an extraordinary cat!" ejaculated Smith. In an Instant the corridors of the boarding house were filled with women. Was It an earthquake or thee rack of doom? Smith was blowing his police whistle with In dustry and promoting the disturbance. Some of the ladles fainted. Smith kept on blowing. Never a boot before In this wide world had produced such a variety of unexpected noises. The noise made by the fall was suf ficient to awaken all the guests In Mrs. Brown's house. The men got out their pistols, and. headed by Smith, -who had got through blowing his whistle, they marched to the back yard to find out what the boot had brought clown. With the aid of a lantern they found the burglar lying among the cans. lou've got a hard face." said Smith. "That's right; kick a fellow when he's down," returned Sanborn, Sanborn was taken to the receiving hospital to have his wounds dressed. His face and neck were badly cut, his right leg was broken and his left wrist fractured. The doctors say that the man had a miraculous escape from death, and marvel that he was not killed. SHE NEVER SMILED AGAIX. Got Her Saw Into Position and She Knew Better. From the Chicago Daily Inter-Ocean. Miss Brown, of 84 Diversity street threw back her head and opened her mouth wide In a hearty laugh. When she tried to regain her normal cast of countenance she was unable to close her jaws. A physician had to be tent for to end the laugh by readjusting the lady a jaws. She attended a party Saturday even ing, and when she started home several of her friends accompanied her. One of the number told a story he said he read somewhere. It was the re' port of a conversation overheard in a police court, and ran Officer What are you charged with. young; man? Prisoner S-s-s-s Judge (Impatiently) Officer, what la this man charged with? Officer Oi tlnk, your honor, he is charred with soda water. Everybody laughed heartily, but Miss Brown worked overtime. Her merry "Hat ha!" turned rnto a cream. Her mouth was wide open, and it stayed that way. It looked as though Miss Brown was being tickled to death. One of the young men attempted to force the refractory Jaws together, but was stopped by the warning: ; 'Danny, Danny, you'll break her face." A doctor was called when the amateur efforts failed. He diagnosed the case by telling the young lady the laugh was on her. In the excess of. mirth the lower Jaw had been dislocated. This was easily righted by the doctor without recourse to laughing gas or anything other than a dextrous twist ot the wrist. Miss Brown went on her way rejoicing, but not laughing. All the way to ber home the funny young man who had caused the disturbance told other stories he had read. Everybody, In fact. tried to cheer up Miss Brown. But she never smiled, and it was jaws tightly held together that she said good night to her friends through her closed teeth. HOW THEY WERE CAUGHT. The Eloping Couple Were Forgetinl of Tandem Wheel's Superiority. From the Chicago Post. "You say Maria has run away," he said. She's eloped with Bill Jones, and they've started for town." "Hosses?" inquired the old man. "No; bicycles." replied his wife. "One or two?" "Two one for each." "That settles It," said the old man. We can catch them before they get to the parson's." They're both good riders," suggested his wife. 'That's so," admitted the old man. "and they could beat either one of us alone, but we're a powerful team wheu we ffet together, Hannah. Can you leave your bnkln' for a little while?" "If anythln' burns I can bake again," she said, sententlously, "but If Maria gits away with Bill Jones she's gone for good." "Git on your bloomers In a hurry then," exclaimed the old man. "I'll be glttln' the tandem wheel out of the wood shed meanwhile, and It we don't make those two scorchers think there's a whirlwind after them It'll be funny." 'Do you s'pose they forgot about the tandem?" Maybe they thought we'd forgotten how to ride It," replied the old man. grimly a he made his back Into the form of an arc just to satisfy himself that he had not forgotten how to do it. And that night as BUI Jones looked longingly up at the window of the room where he knew his fair one waa con fined, he bitterly reproached himself for his foolishness In thinking that a single wheel could get away from a tandem, and he swore softly to himself that when next he tried to take the maid away he would have a sextuplet, fully manned, and with an auxiliary gas-engine attachment. HE WANTED SATISFACTION. A Policeman Had Spoiled His Little Pet Fight and Run Him In. From the Washington Star. He was quite a respectable-looking citizen, and as he approached the desk of the editor of the crank department of the Star that worthy wondered what the mischief the office boy had sent that kind of a looking man In that direction for. However, he hadn't time to wonder long, and he concluded to meet his vis itor In the proper spirit. "Good morning.' he said briskly, get ting the call on the caller. "Morning," responded the caller In a disagreeable tone. "I've come here to get satisfaction." The orank editor entirely stopped wondering now and got ready for de velopments. "Well," he said cheerily, "you've come to the right place to get it. You just put an advertisement In the Star, and If you don't get satisfaction you'll be dif ferent from everybody else who has tried It." "I don't mean that," explained the caller. "What I want Is satisfaction for the way a policeman treated me last night down where I live, In Southeast Washington." "IJpw did he treat you?" "Arrested me, and this morning I got a fine." "What did "you do with It?" Inquired the editor, bracing up and recovering his wonted sand and spirits. "Do with what?" asked the visitor In some surprise. "The fine. Did'nt you say you got one?" "Aw, you come off," said the visitor In a manner Indicating an entire lack of appreciation for that brand of editorial humor. "1 got fined in the police court." "Why?" "Because the policeman arrested me, of course." "But why did he arrest you?" "That's what I want satisfaction for." The editor was beginning to feel the need of something of that sort himself. "Well." he said, rather sharply, "go ahead and tell me about It" n" pip He The iron "rasp of scrofula has no mercy upon its victims. This demon of the blood is often not satistied with causing dreadful sores, but racks the body with the pains of rheumatism until Hood's Saraiparilla cures. - "Nearly four years ago I became af flicted with scrofula and rheumatism. Rfisi(d Running sores brjke ont on my thighs. Pieces of bone cavne out and an operation was contemplated. I had rheumatism in my legs, drawn up ont of shape. I lost ap petite, could not sleep. I was a perfect wreck. I continued to grow worse and finally gave up the doctor's treatment to take Hood's BarsspariUa. Soon appetite came back; the sores commenced to heal. My limbs straightened out and I threw away my crutches. I am now stout snd hearty and am farming, whereas four years ago I was a cripple. I gladly rec ommend Hood's Saraaparilla.

You see, I've seen forty-eight fights and read In the newspapers of a thousand all over town when thre was the dickens of a scrap, and never a policeman in sight till the whole darn thing was over. I say I've seen forty fights like' that myself, and I never Iseeh a policeman until the bat tle waa over. Well, last night I met a neighbor ot mine that I've been having It in for six months and he began sassinaT me right away ' and calling names, and the next thing he knew I was on top of him, thumping the ever lasting stuffing out of him. and glad of the chance, when a policeman came banging around the corner and pulled me off when I had Just got warmed up to Itand wasn't half through with him. Of course, I give up to the policeman and went along and give ball, and got fined and paid it, but I didn't get my money's worth, and what I want to know now Is If I can't get satisfaction out of that meddling policeman?" "I'm afraid not," ventured the editor, thoughtfully. "Sure?" "Qult- sure." "Well, eood-bye. That's Just my lucTt. I'll bet if I'd been getting the licking I was giving tothat chump there wouldn't have been a policeman there to stop It In three weeks," and he went out under a halo of gloom and disappointment. BURIED UNDER A BUILDING. Fatal Results of a Fierce Electrical Storm in Peoria, III. Peoria. 111., July 3. Tho worst elec trical storm In the history of the city raged here for two hours yesterday. In an incredibly short time the streets, particularly near the bluffs, were rag ing rivers and thousands of dollars ot damasre was done. Sewers were washed in, cellaru Hooded and new buildings budly damaged. The storm was followed last night by an accident, resulting In the destruc tion of two buildings and the probable loss of two lives, while two persona were slightly Injured. The two struc tures are a mass of ruins, and George Adams, aged 23, and Wlllard Slough, aged 20, are known to be burled be neath the debris. Rescuers have been at work for several hours without reaching either of the Imprisoned men. Whether any other persons are in the ruins it Is impossible to tell. Several miraculous escapes are reported. When J. V. Engstrom entered the building; occupied by him at No. 103 South Water street, he found the cellar filled with water and a portion of the sidewalk washed In. Casper Brodman, of No. 101 South Water Btreet, found his building threatened by the damage to the adjoining structure, and sum moned the chief of the fire department to Investigate. Carpenters and plum bers were also engaged to repair the damage to the Brodman structure, and after they had worked for a time there was a pecular cracking sound, fol lowed almost Instantly by a few bricks falling- on the roof. The workmen In the basement ran. for their lives. They got out none too soon for as they emerged Into the. street the building toppled over,'; a complete wreck, on top of the building adjoining, crushing It as if it were an eggshell.

The spasm at top of wind-pipe, or in bronchial tubes, the " ball rising la the throat, " violent beating- of the heart; laughing and crying by turns ; mus cular spasms; throw ing the arms about, etc., tell of a derangement of the female sys tem. Any female complaint may produce hys terics, which must be re garded as a symptom only. The causo,whut ever it may be. yields quickly -V-V to Lyuia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Coin pound. It acts atonce upon the orgau affected, and the nerve centers; re moves the cause, and dispels effectually the symptoms. Mrs. Harris relates her experience for the benefit of others. "I had been sick with ulceration of the womb, causing all kinds of dis agreeable experiences, such as irrita bility, sleeplessness, fuintness, and at times hysterica. My physician said it was the worst case ho ever had. My back ached, leucorrhoea very profuse, and I had a severe bearing-down pain. The physicians thought I should never recover, and as the last remedy, they procured your Vegetable Compound. I had not taken more than one-fourth of a bottle, before I was more com fortable. I continued its use, also the Sanative Wash, and Liver Pills. After using four bottles, 1 was able to be out, and do almost all my work. I think the Vegetable Compound is the only medicine that will cure female complaints, and it will reach the worst cases in a very short time. I know it saved my life." Mas. M.
