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.

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. It stands the highest for tts
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases j

The lawyer collected the amount, $-7G,

the money. Indue time he called, and.
after waiting for some time, was
shown Into the private office.
"Good morning, Joseph," said the
lawyer. "I'm glad to see you are so

Then ensued a gem ral conversation
for a few minutes, In which the law

years, and I knew your grandfather
well and for almost as many years.
They were fine men."
"Yes, sir," replied Rickey, "but as 1

Tom .loin s was n real Montana cow
boy, the genuine stuff. 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

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. Then- wire ."I.IMMI steers covering
' the plain between Taylor's ranch and
Lame Wolf 'i ik If tlcy would only
! get a mo eon them at the right lime,
' he would be tie re to do the hero's part.
The -leers wire cheerfully willing.
1 >ne morning soon aft 1 the heiress had

There was only one more hope for

brought things atwmt an in- wished. It
wasn't an overgrown spectacular dis
play as far as Haines went, but there
was a heap of smoke and a grand op
portunity for yelling, and Indue time
Tom Join s started in on his work of
rescue While he was dashing through
the billows of smoke and frantically
calling upon the h< iress to he saved

cut him to the quick to have her re

The cowboy had played his last card,

his case.
"My son," said the old man when he
had heard the story, "did you ever
hear tlu i saying of 'up to date?' "
"Of course I'm there myst If."
"And there lies the cause of your

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. Marine Jour
