A frequent complication of rheumatism
and sciatica is constipation. The ue of lr.
Miles' Nerve and l.iver I'ills in conjunction
with Restorative Nervine makes an ideal
treatment for such cases. The Nerve aud
l.iver Tills, by their tonic influeace upon the
nerves ol tlie stomach, liver and bowels,
cause them to act naturally. Thus the system
is readily cleansed of the impurities whicii
cause the trouble and the nourishing an I
southing effect of Nervine is allowed to do
its wonder ul work of restoration without
I hindrance from the complication.

Farmer's House Wrecked and
and Son Fatally Injured.
Umcaster. I'a., April 7. Ilenjamin
Johnson, a farmer living near Smith-
ville, this county, was seriously and
his wife and 11-year-old son probably
fatally injured by a dynamite explo
sion. Johnson had been blowing out
stumps, and took tne dynamite into his
frame summer house to warm It. An
explosion followed, and the summer
house was blown to atoms. All three
were from 20 to 30 yards nway from
where the house stood, and tho roof of
tlic wrecked building fell on Mrs. John
son. Nearly every stitch of her cloth
ing was torn from her body. Sho was
fearfully battered and bruised, and It is
feared her internal injuries will prove
fatal. The boy was found tinder the
porch of the main building, 'uncon
scious and so badly injnfed that no
hopes are entortalned for his recovery.
Johnson was also blown a considerable
disUtucti unconscious when as
sistance arrived. He is badly hurt, but
It is not thought his injuries will proTe
fatal. All the windows and doors in
the main dwelling were blown out.
In the debris were found 18 sticks of
dynamite which had failed to explode.
Johnson had bought 24 sticks and used
several, so that H is thought that not
more than two sticks caused tho acci
dent. A WOMAN'S SUICIDE
Shct Herself Through the Heart Sit
ting In Front of Mirror.
New York, April C. Mrs. Louise
Ames Van Wcik killed herself in tho
Hotel Washington in Jersey City dur
ing tho day. She was a blonde and
good looking, and arrived In Jersey
City from the west over the Pennsyl
vania Hailroad and went to the Hotel
Washington.
Mrs. Van Welk wore a dressing gown
which was open at the throat. Ap
parently while sitting In front of the
mirror she hud placed a revolver
against her breast over the heart and
outside her undergarment and fired.
Two registered parcel receipts also
were found in the room. The registry
took place at the Jersey City post
office on Saturday. One parcel was
sent to Campbell U. Hoyston, Balti
more, Md., and tho other to Charles
IL Townsend, New York City.
Although it was supposod Mrs. Van
Wcik had arrived direct from the west
Friday, receipts from a New York de
partment store showing purchases
made on March 19 indicate that she
was in this city on that date, and
probably spent a few days here. It is
possible that she merely came from
Washington or Baltimore on Friday

was closely covered, excepting a six
Inch circular hole, into which a single
length of stovepipe was fitted. A slop
ing door -was h' " the fireplace
cavity to keep out, taifl; tnd tin; earth
was raised high enough to prevent
surface water from running into the
hole. Soil was banked about the frame
and the glass sash put in place. It
took six sashes 2!) by 60 inches, tocover
the frame, and I happened to have on
hnnd six old storm window sashes of
that size. Of course the sashes sloped
to Ihe south in the usunl way.
When fire was kindled, in the fire
place the smoke came freely from the
stovepipe. The tiles were covered with
soil to a depth of about six inches. With
n good fire, I could quickly warm up
the earth on the coldest days of spring.
And when once well heated the earth
nnd tiling held the heat for a long
lime, provided the draft was closed.
Cnlike beds heated with manure, the
heat supply could here be regulated
to suit the dctrnnd of the prevailing
weather. C. L. Hill, in Kami and

sary to the normal growth of the
potato. Flowing under green crops
and adding well rooted farm manures
will render almost any kind of soil suit
able f or growing this crop; while newly
cleared lands are adapted to some
varieties of the potato; as the soil is
in a mechanically favortible state to its
growth, and has a libers supply of
organic matter, which continues till
cultivation exhausts," 4t from the soil.
The mechanical coiiTVition of the soil
is of much importance; as its natural
fertility and artificial fertilization will,
to a great extent, supply the deficiency
of this organic quality, if the soil is in
a condition to furnish the necessary
moisture. Kxperience in growing this
crop teaches that one year, or two
years at most, is as long as this crop
should be without change grown on a
piece of ground, because the plant food
suited to the potato by that time be
comes exhausted, and then the germs
of disease from the scabby tubers will
remain in the soil, and they must be
starved out by changing 1 he crop to
that which will not support these par
ticular germs. Frank Monroe Beverly,
