FOR JURY COMMISSIONER. Cnrtis Cook APPROVED BOXES FOR RURAL DELIVERY A recent order of the Postmaster Goueral regarding the use of boxes on Kural Free Delivery routes is of in terest to all iiatrous. That part relat ing to the interference with boxes is bast d on the following act of Oonrgess: "Whoever shall horeafter willfully or malioiously injure, tear down or destroy auy letter box or other re ceptacle established by order of Postmaster General or approved or de signated by hiui tor the receipt or de livery of mail matter on any rural free delivery route,or shall break open the same, or willfully or maliciously in jure, deface or destroy i*uy mail mat ter deposited therein, or shall willful ly take or steal such matter from or out of such letter box or other recep tacle or shall willfully aid or assist in auy of the aforementioned offenses, shall for every such offense he punish ed by a tine ot not more thau one thous and dollars or by imprisonment for uot more than three years." Each box must be erected by the roadside, so that the carrier can easily obtain access to it without dismount ing from hia vehicle. The same box must not be used for more than one family, except in the case of near rel atives or those residing in the same house. Persons neglecting or refusing to comply with these conditions will be regarded as not desiring rural tree de livery, aud the rural carrier will be directed not to serve them. Eastern Ftuit Crops Failure Help West. Owing to the practical failure of the frolt crop in Pennsylvania,particular ly this section, tl.ere will be heavy Importations of California fruit this season. The adverse conditions that prevail here will beuetit California to the ex tent of millions of dollars. The ship ments have already commenced. One huudred cars laden with all kinds of fruit are being sent eastward every day. About the only product of which there will be more than an abundance in the east this year will be the pump kin, the raising of which is made a specialty in New Jersey. Last year canners bought up all the pumpkins they could buy and paid good prices. Their expectations of a brisk market, however,dnl not materialize and much of the cammed pumpkin is still in the hands of the dealers Anticipating an equally great demand for pumpkins this year, the Jersey farmers devoted almost twice the acreage this spring 111 their cultivation than in llto. with the result that the pumpkin market is now glutted. Prices will consequently be low this fall and there will he no scarcity of pumpkin pie. Ely's Liquid Oreaiu Balm is an old friend in a new form.

EXPLOSION KILLS MORE THAN SCORE LOWELL, Mass., July 29.—An ex plosion destroyed the magazine of the United States Cartridge Company, located in Teuxbury, today, caused the death of probably twenty live pet sons and injury to more than fifty others, set fire to a number of build ings in the vicinity and caused a gen eral wreck ot houses within a radius of half a mile. The concussion was felt in Boston, forty miles away, and at Exeter, New Hampshire, which is a greater dist ance from Lowell At many points a score of miles distant, window glass was shattered and other damage done. The city was thrown into a panic and it became necessary to summon four companies of state militia. Alarm ing reports to the effect that over 100 persons had been killed and injured caused wide spread confusion. The explosion is thought to have been caus ed by the jarring of dynamite in the magazine by workmen who were lay ing a new floor. The dynamite set ot! the powder stored in one chamber and that explosion was followed by an Other in the second chamber. The plant of the United States Cart ridge Company is located in a district known as Riverside Park, in Teux bury, just outside of Lowell. The building in which the explosion oc curred was a stone structure about one and one-halt miles distant from the works of the cartridge company. With in a distance of fifty yards are located half a dozen houses. Within a hundred yards there are twenty houses more, and beyond that the buildings are very close together The structures within a quarter of a mile were torn within and without. Men, women and children who were inside of the houses sustained cuts, bruises and broken holies, if they es caped with their lives. Men who lived in streets not far awav who were fortunate enough to escape serious injuries, immediately gave themselves over to the work ot removing men and children to places of safety for almost simultaneous with the explosion came Hashes from sever al buildings. Into the tlauies and de bris scores of men were soon plunging in efforts to save life and property. The wreck was so complete, how ever, that the work was harrowingly slow. The patrol wagons of the police and the teams of all descriptions were brought into use to supplement the hospital ambulances. It was nearly noon before anything like an accurate estimate of the number killed could be obtained. Previous reports had said that the dead would number 75 but a canvass of the hospitals and inquiry at tho police station resulted iu a con servative estimate of "Jo killed and - r i. r > injured. Sixteen victims most seriously hurt were taken to St. John's Hospital, where at uoou it was said that four would die aud that as many more were desperately hurt. The crowds increased momentarily, and it seemed as it all Lowell hail sus ponded business and was at the scene of the catastrophe.

Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, achesandrheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart 'is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy Is soon realized.

"Good morning, Joseph," said the lawyer. "I'm glad to see you are so prompt In attending to business. 1 have your money for you."

Hy that Is meant that he was 110 consumptive son who had been sent out from I'.oston to try the w< stern ozone, nor was lie a student of Yale or Harvard who was picking up S.'SO a month to help hliu squeak through college, lie was born to the business, knew all the ins and outs, and no on< could beat him at turning a stampeding herd or throwing the lasso. It was all sides that there was only one thing out of kilter with Tom Jones he had aspirations. If he had aspired to keep three guns shooting at once or to hold four aces in every other hand of poker, he might have had the sympathy of his fellow workers, but his aspirations took a different line. Tom Jones had read 110 less than six different accounts of eastern heiresses coining out west on a visit and falling In love with and marrying cowboys. Cowboys had saved them from rob bers, Indians, stampedes and prairie tires, and their natural gratitude had resulted in love and marriage. What had happened once might happen again. Tom's aspirations, then, ran to heiresses. He was expecting one along any day in the week and was always prepared to carry out his part of the contract. Even an heiress may come to hitn who waits, and indue time, when her engagements permitted. Miss CJriseomb, from New York, paid a visit to rela tives at Taylor's ranch. Tom had heard of her beauty and what a pile of mon ey her old dad had in the bank within twenty-four hours after her arrival. It was now up to him to bring in the heroics and start things going. He got out his Sunday togs and greased his hair as a beginning. Nor was the labor thrown away. ITo hail hardly set forth on a hunt for r " " POOR ToM HAI) To OUAB THE TAIL OP THE Olltn's HOUSE. stray steers when far across the plains he saw the object of his aspirations. The broncho on whose back she was seated had stopped to indulge In the wild west business of bucking and Jumping, and Tom imagined that he could hear terror stricken shouts from the rider. It was all Imagination, how ever. When he had reached her side after a furious burst of speed and begged the privilege of saving her life, she quietly replied: "i'leise don't interfere. 1 rather en joy the change." Tom Jones was nonplused, but he waited. In the course of two or three days Dutch I'ete broke loose on one of his quarterly jamborees Dutch I'ete kept the doggery at Dead Man's < 'or ners, and when he started out to clean up the state he kept his two guns red hot. Tom figured that it would be on the bills for i'ete to bear Miss (»rls- I comb away into the mountains, and he hovered along the Fort Wingate road as her protecting angel. His figures turned out to be way off. Miss (Iris comb and Dutch I'ete met one morning at the crossing of Lame Wolf creek, and when the cowboy came up the terror had bis hands raised, and the girl hail a gun on line with his eye. She thanked Mr. Jones very kindly for the interest be exhibited, but she really couldn't think of putting hitn to any I particular trouble. Then Tom Jones prayed for a eloud -1 burst. Lame Wolf creek had its rise ! up in the mountains. At l) o'clock of a ! summer morning it might be a mere ' rivulet crossing the stage road. An j hour later a flood wave six feet high I might be booming down as the result | of a cloudburst up among the pvaks. | The burst came as prayed for. Miss ; Grlscomh was on the west side of the I crock when caught by the flood, and all escape seemed cut off when the cowboy came tearing around Hull bend ' to rescue her. Three minutes later the girl was rescuing him. Ills broncho | got tangled up with a mass of drift wood and was drowned, and poor Tom had to grab the tall of the girl's horse I and take a tow to the bank. "You had belter home and change your clothes, and I hope you will be more careful in future," was all the thanks lie not as the heiress rode away and left him to hang himself up to dry. Tom Jones felt that he had made n failure of it thus far, but he hoped fur ' a stampede to change things In one of the stories he had read a cowboy had saved an heiress from a stamp* d< nnd won her undying love in ton mln i utes.

Among the many interesting dificov »ries of I)r. Sven Ilcdin In central Asia is a singular oscillation in the position of the lake of lvarakoshun, or Lopnor. This lake seems as restless rs some rixers that change their beds, hut the cause of Its movements is a secular change in the level of the desert, In the midst of which it lies, bordered by vegetation. At present the lake is re treating northward from the place where Prjevalsky found it and creep ing toward Its ancient bed, where it Is known to have lain in the third century of the Christian era, and as it slowly moves the vegetation, the animals and the fishermen with their reed huts fol low its shores northward. I>r. liedln believes that after reaching the north ern part of the desert the lake returns southward, the period of oscillation be ing 1,000 years or more. Hon Water Krpnen. It used to puzzle all thinking people why ponds and rivers do not freeze be yond a certain depth. This depends on a most curious fact—namely, that wa ter Is at Its heaviest when it reaches 10 degrees F. —that Is, 8 degrees above freezing point. On a frosty night as each top layer of water falls to lo de grees it sinks to the bottom; therefore the whole pond has to drop to 40 de grees before any of It can freeze. At last it is all cooled to this point, and then Ice begins to form. Hut Ice Is a very bad conductor of heat; therefore It shuts off the freezing air from the big body of comparatively warm wa ter underneath. The thicker it gets the more perfectly does It act as a great coat, and that Is why even the Arctic ocean never freezes beyond a few feet In thickness.
