A peculiar explosion and fire wrecked a building and caused serious injurv to three men about four o'clock, Tuesday. A frame and corrugated-iron 1 nil ling standing between the rear of Ral-tun's jewelry store and Kennedy & May's brick livery barn, is occupied on the first floor by contractor W. E. Cochran and on the second by Eugene Morrison's paintshop. At the time of the explo sion Morrison, Homer Cumberland of Third St. and Ernest Lnse of the Hotel Waverly were in the shop Lnse struck a match to light his pipe. It happened that he was standing near a barrel of "mix" or refuse paint, etc Gas had formed bv evaporation in this barrel and was escaping from the bung hole. The match ignited it. the barrel wns blown to pieces and filled the room aud covered the men with tho burning fluid The explosion blew the windows out of *;he building and the noise was heard a mile away. In an instant burn ing battels of paint, turpentine and oil had transformed the shop into a seeth ing furnace. The three men rushed down the little stairway to the alley door, the onh op ening on the ground, but the lock had sprung and they could neither unlock or force the door open. They rushed up stairs again into the fire, made their way to a shipping door and jumped to the alley a distance of t«r-n feet. Their clothes were on fire and spectators saw three burning men drop from a second story door and start to run. Luse, whose clothing was burned nearly off. ran into the livery barn where he was seized and dumped head foremost into a tank of water. The tire companies were called o*it and subdued the flames after a hard light. The rear of the jewelry store was badly scorched Lnse was taken to Dr. Pillow's office where his injuries were dressed before his removal home. His face and hands were badly burned and his ankles dislo cated. Morrison and Cumberland had then faces and hands also burned and their ankles hurt but not so badly. A number of fine mantels in Cochran's office were ruined. The total loss is about SHOO Marriage Licenses. Sheridan Hoffman Venango twp Tena Seatou Boyers Tohn J.

As a rule experience is profitable only to the individual who obtains it. When the aged man tries to save youth from mistakes such as he made, the youth smiles to himself: "The idea of that old fossil thinking that an up to-date young man is going to make mistakes." It is a peculiar trait of human nature that eacn man thinks he is a little smarter than the others, and that he will succeed where others failed. "Oh, yes," says Smith, "I know that poor Jones got capsized in the rapids, Dut Jones never was a good hand at the paddle. It's a pity people like Jones will take such chances." And he smil ingly launches his canoe to follow Jones, alike in his feat and in his failure. THE EXTREME OP POUY. The most foolhardy man who ever risked his life, or the most infatuated gambler who ever risked his fortune, is a sage compared with the man who attempts to get the best of Nature. The foolhardy man may succeed. The gambler may win. But the man who takes chances with Nature is bound to lose. If the obituaries of tens of thou sands who are cut down annually in life's prime were truly written death would not be attributed to this or that form of disease, but to an attempt to evade the necessity laws of health. The weak spot in the modern man is his stomach. It is in disease of the stomach that many of the maladies begin which carry off the busy men of the day. The seed of disease once' planted in the stomach grows and (preads like some climbing parasite about a tree. It throws out a tendril about the heart and presently another which grips the lungs, and others again which take hold of kidneys and liver. Then suddenly the man is smitten by heart disease or lung disease; or suc cumbs to some malady of kidneys or liver. The real seat of disease is the stomach. And one of the reasons why the diseases of the other organs often fall of a cure is that the treatment ignores the stomach, and attempts to treat directly the other organs, whose diseases are only symptoms of disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. THERE'S PLENTY OF PROOF of the soundness of the proposition that diseases of other organs remote from the stomach which are caused by dis ease of the 6tomach must lie cured through the stomach, and, in fact, can not be cured in any other way. The best proof in the world is that Doctor Blank Books AND Office Supplies Always customary to start your new books first of the year. Our stock is complete in every way. MCMILLANS DIARIES FOR 1902. A. M BERKIMER. « Funeral Director. 45 S. Mam St. Butler Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, a stomach and blood medicine, cures dis eases of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc., by curing diseases of the stomach and digestive and nutritive systems. " For six long years I suffered with my liver, kidneys, and indigestion, which baffled tittt best doctors in our "country," writes Mr. E. L. Ransell, of Woolsey, Prince William Co., Va. "I suffered with tny stomach and beck for a long time ana after taking a quantity of medicines from three doctors, I grew so bad I could hardly do a day's work. Would have death-like pains in the side, and blind spells, and thought life was hardly worth living. I decided to con sult Dr. R. V. Pierce and his staff of physicians. They said my case was curable and I was greatly encouraged. I began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pel lets,' as advised. Before I had taken half of the second bottle I began to feel relieved. I got six more bottles and used them, and am happy to say I owe my life to Dr. Pierce and his medicines. These words are truths, as I so if this testimonial can be used in any way to be of benefit you need not hesi tate to use it. I shall stand for the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute as long as life lasts." DON'T DBI.AY. Disease never leaps on a man like a lion from am bush and strikes him down at a blow. However sud denly a man may be stricken and however deadly the disease, the time was when it was n little thing, easy of con trol. If you are suffering from indigestion, dyspep sia, or any form of stom ach "trouble," don't put off the proper treatment. "Golden Medical Discov ery" will cure diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition at any stage, but the cure will be quicker the earlier it is begun. "For twelve long months I suffered untold misery," writes Mrs. Mollie Col gate, of Randolph, Charlotte Co., Va. " No tongue coula express the pain that I endured before I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medicine. I was not able to do anything at all. Could not eat anything except bread and tea—or if I did the top of my head hurt so it seemed it would kill me; with all-that I could do it would burn like fire, but now since taking 'Golden Medical Dis cover}' ' 1 can eat a little of almost any thing I want and can do a good day's work as well as anybody can. Am bet ter than I have been for years. I think your medicine is the best that ever was made, for it is the only thing that ever did me any good. I tried many other kinds, but none did me any <good but your 'Golden Medical Discovery" and •Favorite Prescription.' I can never praise them too highly to any one who suffers as I did." Sick people are invited to consult, Dr. Pierce by letter, fret. All correspond ence held as strictly private and sa credly confidential. Write therefore without fear as without fee to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. There is no alcohol in "Golden Med ical Discovery," and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine, and other narcotics. Do not allow a dealer for the sake of making a little more profit to foist on you a substitute as "just as good" as "Golden Medical Discovery." There is no other medicine so good for you. A GENUINE AND GENEROUS GIFT. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, containing 1008 large pages and over 700 illustrations, is given away to those who send stamps to pay ex pense of mailing only. Send 31 one cent stamps for the book in strongs cloth binding, or only 21 stamps if satisfied to have the book in paper-covers. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. M. H. MILLER.
