ing with his children and asked to have
* them sent away. Another had threat

A northern Alabama man, now in
B.itler, says that when at home, last
m >nth he arose at 0 o'clock, or "just
about daylight;" and as daylight in But
ler these days at about 7 o'clock, his re
m irk caused a discussion. Northern
Alabama is about 5 degrees of latitude
or 300 miles south of our parallel, and
it did rot seem reasonable that that dis
t mce should add an hour to each end of
daylight. And it does not. Here in
Bntler we use the time of the Phil'a
or 75th meridian. 20 minutes earlier,
which makes our 7 o'clock but 6:40 sun
tim<?: while his point in Alabama is
about 10 minutes east of the St. Louis
or 90th meridian time in uses there, mak
ing his fi o'clock time, 0:10 sun time - a
differetcj between ours of half a n hour
at each ead of the dav.or about an hour
in all. Further south, or vitliin the
tropics the days and nights are equal
the year through, while in upper Cana
da (or in Scotland, at samelatitude)day
light is not coming at present until nine
or ten o'clock. In mid-summer this is
rjversed; a Butler county man who was
in Scotland in July of 1900, says he
wrote a letter home.at 10 p. m. by day
light.

A Ba«l Fire.
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

requisite features of an almanac for
every-day use. The printed part, as in
former years, largely consists of volun
tary contributions from bicycle riders
of nearly every country in the world.

printed and mounted on a steel holder,

People WJio Will Learn Only
by a Perilous Personal
Experience.
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

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.
