FIRE DESTROYS HOME ‘Word reached the Pioneer this morning that the home of John Motts, Twenty-fifth street and Dal- ton avenue, was destroyed by fire at 8 o’clock yesterday morning. The or- igin of the fire is not known. As the water system does not extend to that part of the city and has no fire alarm was sent in the only attempt to save the building was on the part of neighbors, who worked heroically but without avail. WED IN THE WEST Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Shannon an- nounce the marriage of their daugh- ter, Nell Shannom, to George H. O'Brien of Cohasset, Minn., on July 28. Mr. and Mrs. O‘Brien are at Yuma, Ariz., where the former is encamped with the U. S. army. ON BUYING TRIP Mrs. A. P. Henrionnet left last evening for Chicago, St. Paul and Milwaukee where she will do the fall buying for her millinery store. NEW SON ARRIVES Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Louis Webb yesterday morning at 4 o’'clock, a six-pound son. J. F. Delaney, Miss Anna Delaney, both of Hubbard, and Miss Olson of Chippewa Falls, Wis., visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Den- ley yesterday. Mr. Delaney made an inspection trip to the Lake Julia Sanatorium in the afternoon and was accompanied by Henry Brakke, Mrs. George Denley and Mrs. George Courtney. FACED DANGERS TO REGISTER Oil Man Walked Eleven Miles and Swam Flooded Streams. Ellsworth, Kan.—Heavy rains and swollen streams almost compelled €arl Holt of this city to miss register- ing. Holt is a tool dresser for the Shamrock-Cushing oil drill, eleven miles southeast of Ellsworth. He was required to register here. When Holt, late in the afternoon, started to drive into Ellsworth with his car he found himself cut off by streams which had flooded and wash- ed out the bridges. He promptly discarded the car, swam the creek and started to walk the eleven miles to Ellsworth. In the course of his walk he found it neces- sary to navigate othier streams in a like manner. Fifteen minutes before 9, wet, muddy and tired, he rushed into the registration hall and signed his name to the card. TOWN KEEPS UNTO ITSELF. Loudville, Me., Seceded From Union In '61 and Never Came Back. Augusta, Me.—Loudville, the home of 150 persons living on Loud's island, enjoys an anomalous distin-tion as an American town. Loudville is legaliy part of Maine and the United States, but it won't ad- mit it. ' Loudville seceded from the United States when the south did and never came back. Whe a federal officer went to Loudville to enforce the civil war draft he was met with a shower of hot pota- toes. He went away. Loudville pays no taxes, has no streets, no sewers, no lights, no boat landings and pays for no mail. It merely permits mail to be thrown ashore twice a week. Loudville claims it is neutral in the war. Mear Sido and Off Side. When horses were first hitched to vehicles the driver never thought of riding himself, but walked by the side of the road as be held the lines. So as to have his right hand always ready he walked on the left side, and conse- quently the horse on the left side came to be known as the “near” horse and the one on the right side was called the “off” horse. In that manner the terms “near horse” and “off horse” be- came general and still pertain to horses hitched as a team.

The Difference Between the Cost of Good and Cheap Printing is 5o slight that he who goes shopping from printer to printer to secure his printing at a few cents less than what it is really worth hardly ever makes day laborer wages at this unpleasant task.

MoKEE, Funeral Director Phone 178.W or 7 | { Do You Negiect Your Machinery? *The machinery of the body needs to be well oiled, kept in good condition just as the automobile, steam engine or bicycle. Why should the Human neglect his own machinery more than that of his horse or his engine! Yet most peo- ple do neglect themselves. To clean the system at least once a week is to practice preventive measures. You will escape many ills and clear up the coated tongue, the sallow complexion, the dull headache, the lazy liver, if you will take a pleasant laxative made up of the May-apple, juice of the leaves of aloes, root of jalap, and called Pleasant Dcllets. You can obtain at almost any drug store in this country these vegetable pellets in vials for 25c —simply ask for Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. There can be_ no_counterfeit if they have the Dr. R. V. Pierce stamp upon them. Minneapolis, Minn.—“It was hard for me to get around on account of feeling run-down. Often when walking I was suddenly attacked with dizzy spells and terrific headaches. My side pained me so much of the time that it was impos- sible for me to take a deep breath with- out suffering misery from the pain. I had incessant backache and throbbing pains through the loins. Upon arisin, in the morning my limbs were so sti 1 could hardly get about the house. I was told of Anuric, discovered by Dr. Pierce, so immediately started using it and was soon relieved of the trouble.”— Mgs. May F. Keyes, 1905 St. Anthony Avenue.
