Reports of Missing Sailors and Yachtsmen Are Pour- ing In. DESTRUCTION IN THE CITY. Great Damage Done by the Tornado in the Business Sec- tion. CHICAGO, Iin.,” July 7.—With Iittle f its terrific death-dealing force and d ve character a wind and rain storm s has not been seen for year: broke opon the city about )o’clock this afternoon. The complete result will not be known until to-morrow, but it is certain to-night that four lives were lost on Lake Michigan by the capsizing of boats at the mercy of the hurricane. rst appearance of the storm was indicated by a severe blowing of dust in the business part of the sending the thousands of pedestrians to seek refuge in the hotels and stores which werg open. In a few minutes the gale increased to a fifry- mile gait and the sky was overcast with circulating clouds and black masse with the deluge to come. Wind amd rain soon mingled with ter- rific force, and people on the str the thousands of women and ch the parks became frightened, The heat during tornado was upon them. the day had been oppressive and the win- dows in the hotels were leit open. Before losed thousands of dollars had been done and sev- om glass were reported. rous to on the This was espe- true alon, e street. Several red of fla which hung from the »ws of the prominent stores of Siegel, r & Co. and Rothschild & Co. re swept from their fastenings ana car- with deadly force to the sidewalk. 1 sons who braved the storm by poles, but they escaped were s serious nd spectators were caught at ing the league game, d in the grand stand until the deluge subsided. The duration oi the storm, so far asthe rain was con- cerned, did not exceed two hours, but the vind remained high until a late hour. 100,000 people were caughtin away from any shelter, and were wet to the skin before finding cover. Thousands of these unfortunates wereon | nd they got even a worse drench- | weom ana into the water, but managed to cling to the upturned boat until the crew of the life- saving station rescued them. Reports were received by the police from a variety of sources during the night of boats having been seen to capsize during the storm, and the occupants to disappear under the water, but no bodies have yet been recovered! and it will be impossible to ascertain the exact loss of life until the reports of the missing are received. At midnight the news was received that Charles Kline and Charles Leeshook, who were supposed to have been drowned by X 8 the caj g of the yacht F were picked up alive off the Thirty h-street pier. They were almost dead from ex- haustion and reported that their compan- ion, John Ross, was surely drowned. The yacht was seen in distress at the outset of the storm off the Twenty-second-street pier, and spectators were sure all had been drowned when the boat capsized and noth- ing more was seen of the occupants, the three men mentioned. A rowboat with one man in it was seen off the north pier when the storm broke about two miles from shore. He was seen to struggle with his frail craft,and in a few minutes disappeared under the white- capped waves, to be seen no more. On the Panhandle Railroad at Ada street a switch tower was lifted from the foundation and turned over. August Boedlow, the watchman, who was in the tower at the time, had his legs broken by the fall and his hands and face were se- verely cut. Two high wally which had been left standing at 442 Wabash avenue, on the site of a burned building, were blown down and threw the people of the neighborhood into a fright, but no one was hurt. A loss of several thousand dollars was caused by the blowing down of the roof of the fiv building at 126 Washington street, adj g the Chicago Opera-house. Every office below was flooded, as’ was the costly saloon of Daniel O’Brien on the ground floor. The ceiling broke and a fire also started from the electric wires. Over $2000 damage was done to the department- store of A. M. Rothschild & Co. by the breaking of plate-glass windows and the destruction of good ireman Lee Grant of the firm had b hands seriously cut while trying to save merchandise in the windows. A big plate-glass show-window in the store of Siegel, Cooper & Co. was smashed by the fury of the wind, which seemed to blow in every direction at once. Plate-glass windows in the stores of the H. 0. Mott Iron Works; Thorson & Cas- sidy, sporting goods, the bank of the Na- tional Trust Company, the salooa of George H. Andrews and the cigar-store of Cohn Bros. were laid out on the street in fine Lyuruc]es. Trees and telegraph-poles were lown down by the score. CYCLONE IN T NESSEE. Howuses Are Carried Away and Loss of Life 1s Feared. MEMPHIS, TesxN.. July 7.—A terrific cyclone is sweeping this section to-night, though as yet no loss of life is reported. It must have occurred, however, as many houses were either swept entirely away or badly wrecked. The earliest approach of the storm was about 8 o’clock, at Covington, Tenn., forty miles north of here. There several houses were battered dnd torn. At 11o’clock it swept over Pine Bluff, Ark., wrecking a number of smaller houses, hurling them quite a distance. Wires from there, north and south, are down. Tt swept over this city about midnight, but owing to its natural protection from heavy windstorms no serious casualties have appeared as yet. The storm was fol- lowed by a heavy rainfall. 4 GALE IN OKJLAHOMA. Over a Hundred Buildings Overturned or Wrecked at El Reno. EL RENO, O. T., July 7.—A terrific storm struck this city this afternoon about 50’clock. Many small frame houses were overturned, and great damage was done to some of the best buildings in the city. The Kerfoot Hotel was perforated with flying gravel, that broke nea. all the windows out of the west side. The First National Bank front was blown in. Lee’s big livery barn was badly wrecked, and the African M. E. Church desiroyed. The roof of the Masonic block was crushed by falling chimneys. More than 100 buildings in all were overturned or wrecked. At the fair groundseverything was swept away. George Baker, who owns a string of trotters, was seriously injured. Brown Bonnie and Rustler, two valuable trotting horses owned by M. T. Stanley, were so badly hurt that they will have to be killed. For three days past the heat has been awful. The thermometer has not been below 98 at midnight, and has reached as high as 109. During the storm this after- noon it was as dark as midnight. SIWAMPED N LAKE GEAEH Six Persons Drowned by the Capsizing of a Steam Launch. Passengers Insist on Venturing From Shore Despite the Ap- proaching Storm. LAKE GENEVA, Iin, July 7.—Six persons were drowned in Lake Geneva this afternoon by the swamping of the steam launch Dispatch in the tornado which swept over this section about 5 o’clock. The drowned are: Dr. and Mrs. Hogan and child, Father Hogan, a Catholic priest from Harvard, I1l., Mrs. Franc and John Pres- ton, the engineer of the launch. The engineer saw the storm coming and wished to remain in port at Elgin, Ill., but he passengers insisted on crossing over to Keyes Park. When half way across the storm struck the boat and it must have gone down like a shot. Another steamer coming along picked up five hats and the body of Mrs. Hogan, who had been, kept afloat by her large sleeves. She had been beaten by the storm, however, until life was extinct. The Dispatch was one of the World's Fair launches and was owned by W. N. Johnson. The boat was worth about $3000. b s oAy IN WESTERN ILLINOIS, Buildings Torn From Their Foundations by the Furious Gale. PEORIA, IuL., July 7.—One of the worst storms in tne history of Peoria swept over the city this afternoon, followed by a light rain. Great damage was done to buildings, several being lifted and moved from their foundations. The roofs of several business blocks were blown to the street. and the running of streetcars was seriously inter- fered with, Awnings were torn town and windows smashed in. It was also the hottest day of the year, the thermometer registering 98 degrees in the shade. West of here, on the Terre Haute, Peoria and Western Railway, the damage was great. MANY PEOPLE INJURED. Every Building in a Kansas Town Damaged by the Wind. TOPEKA, Kaxs., July 7.—A heavy wind and rain tornado struck the little town of Canton this afternoon and nearly demol- ished it. Barns and houses were over- turned and destroyed, and not a single building in the town escaping injury. A score of people were injured by fiying tim- bers. James Snyder and two others were buried under an overturned barp, and Snyder suffered a broken arm and other injuries from which he cannot recover. A number of farmhouses that lay in the path of the storm were destroyed and great damage was done to crops. Up to a late hour to-night no deaths had been reported, but it is not impossible that a number of fatalities have resulted. BRIDGES IN DANGER. A Kansas River Rises at the Rate of Two Feet an Hour. PEABODY, Kaw., July 7.—A terrific rain and wind storm visited this town and vicinity this afternoon, and much damage to barns, windmills and crops by the wind is reported. The streams are higher than they have been for ten years. The Doyal rose eight feet in four hours, and many bridges are in danger of being washed away. About one foot of water stood in the depot and part way up Main street. NORTH DAKOTA CROPS LEVELED. A Disastrous Storm Sweeps Over the Greut Wheat Belt. FARGO, N. D., July 7.—A storm Friday night, extending from Anselm, fifteen miles west of here, and from one to two miles wide, damaged 30,000 to 40,000 acres of grain, threw buildings from their founda- tions and deluged the country. Four inches of rain fell in a few hours. Hottest Day of the Xear. CHICAGO, Irv., July 7.—A special from Delavan, Wis., says the storm there this afternoon was terrific. Roofs were blown from houses, trees were felled, windows broken and the crops badly damaged. Re- | ports that it was the hottest day of the year come in from several quarters. At Elk l_{om, Wis., the rain which fell to- day will be the means of saving of crops which were suffering from the drought. Almost a Cyeclone. SAVANNAH, Iir, July 7.—A storm, amounting almost to a Western cyclone, struck this place this afternoon at 3 o'clock. There was much damage done to property. The thermometer dropged from 97 to 76 degrees. Little rain fell here, but there was a heavy storm to the south. Exterminated the Chinch Bug. CARLISLE, IrL., July 7.—The heaviest rain experienced here for over two years fell to-day. The Kaskaskia River rose eight feet in a few hours. Chinch bugs were exterminated by the millions. LONG LIST OF DEAD Appalling Results of the Storm in Central States. SCORES OF LIVES LOST. Late Reports Continue to Increase the Number of Fatalities. GREAT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. Seas of Raln Alded by Tornado- Like Winds In the Work of Destruction. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 7.—On Thursday morning last telegraphic reports began to arrive in this city of rains at Western points. These reports grew in number Friday and covered a large territory, in- dicating that the entire eastern watershed from the Rocky Mountains, from the Ne- braska and Iowa lines to Texas, was swept by a storm. Friday night the severest blow came. Reports of loss of life and destruction of property came with every telegram, and the downpour, first regarded as a blessing, grew into a wave of devastation. - Fields of grain that promised the most bountiful yield in many years are to-day swept bare of vegetation. In several instances the seas of rain were abetted in their work of destruction by tornadoes. It is too early yet to sum up the loss, but the total must be appalling, and those whom the angry elements spared have little left to sustain life. The stories of the storm are so similar that a statisticai summary is all thereis left to tell. The storm focus embraced an area of 200 square miles, with the south- western corner of Missouri as the center. The greatest loss of life is reportea from Winona, Mo., where eleven corpses have been found, with as many more missing. At Baxter Springs, in the southeastern part of Kansas, five were killed and eleven seriously injured by a cyclone that ac- companied the storm. One person was drowned at Columbus, and two at Ottawa, Kans. At Van Buren, Ark., a mother and her babe were drowned. A family of five was encamped on the banks of Fish Creek, in the Indian Territory, yesterday. Noth- ing of them or their belongings was found except a part of their wagon on a pile of driftwood. At Thomasville, Mo., where the rainfall was four inches in one hour, tive persons were lost. Unconfirmed reports are recerved of loss of life as follows: Three at Fayetteville, Ark.; one at Paoli, Kans. ; one at Richards, Kans.; and six of a huntine party in the Indian Territory. This gives a known and probable loss of forty-three lives. This total will be increased when the receding water permits a thorough search. The loss in property can be placed in the millions. Dwellings, fences and farm buildings were carried off and wagon and railroad bridges swept away. Thirty of the eighty buildings in Winona suc- cumbed. YKive residences, a church and a warehouse went down at Baxter Springs. Six bridges went out in Russell County, Kansas. About Jefferson City, Mo., many square miles of growing grain were cov- ered with debris. Traffic on the Fort Scott and Memphis Railway is temporarily suspended. Re- ports, of damage to property other than above noted come in from five points in Kansas, nine in Missouri, six in Arkansas and two in Indian Territory. The storm spent itself in Illinois, but having lost its force proved a blessing to crops. .These summaries are only a fraction of the loss in property. The greatest burden falls upon the farmers, as the season is too far spent to plant new crops and suffering must surely follow in the storm’s wake. Details of individual suffering and experi- ences would fill volumes and repeat the horrors of the Johnstown disaster. GEORGIA CYCLONE-SWEPT. Two Persons Killed and Many Are Badly Injured. ATLANTA, GaA., July 7.—Two persons were killed by a cyclone in Putnam County late this afternoon and perhaps twenty were seriously injured. The list of fatalities may include more. A special to the Constitution from Eaton- ton says that a condctor on the Middle THE STEAMER WASHTENAW, Georgia & Atlanta Railroad reports that at Willard Station everything in the storm’s path was blown down. His train had a race with the cyclone, which barely missed it. Henry Adams (white)-and Bob Hardy (colored) were killed. . Henry Penick and his young wife weré caught in the debris of their house. Penick was injured internally, and ~his wife probably fatally hurt. Jim Collier (colored) escaped, but two of his children were pinned under the wreck of their house. The children were so badly mangled that they can hardly survive. The Martin plantation was de- vastated. In Morgan Commnty, a few miles from Madison, the Robertson plantation was swept clear of buildings and fences. The Robertson family hid in the cellar and no one was hurt, although the house was moved from its foundation. F. R. Logan’s farm was torn to pieces and some of his tenants are reported in- jured. The track of the cyclone could not | be followed far because night came on. Damaged by Hail. OSHKOSH, Wis., July 7.—The most se- vere hailstorm in years occurred this even- ing, breaking skylights and doing damage to crops. In ten minutes the temperature dropped from 90 to 65 degrees. Shade Trees Leveled. CLINTON, Iowa, July 7.—The damag- ing drouth in this city was broken this afternoon by a heavy rainfall, accompanied | by a strong wind, which broke down 100 shade trees throughout the city. HONORSFORCALIFORNAIS Coast Marksmen the Guests of the Winchester Arms Company. High Scores of Helm and Strecker Not Likely to Be Beaten at the Fest. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 7.—George Helm and the rest of the San Francisco | boys put in an appearance at Glendale Park to-day, having come down from New Haven last night. They had a royal time with the Winchester Arms Company and enjoyed themselves. The officials of the company had carriages to meet them at the depot and they were driven to the fac- tory. Havingexbausted the sights there, they were made the recipients of a splen- did banquet and passed the time until their train was due in sightseeing. The company gave the Californians their choice of any rifle in the factory to be taken by them as a souvenir of their visit. The shooting to-day, while quite up to the average, did not develop any of the sensational features of previous days. A. | Strecker’s 97 on the man is still high, and George Helm’s world’s record of 74 out of 75 on the ring is bardly likely to be equaled. Schuester’s72on the honorary tar- get Columbia has been passed by William Vorbach of Williamsburg, but the €alifor- nian will doubtless have a lien on second prize. 3 Louis Bendel won a silver festival cup and gold und silver medals to-day on the point target. Faktor scored 45 on the standard, Schuester 44 and George Helm 41. 86 and F. O. Young 78. All the boys have | secured medals or cups on the point tar- | get. | To-morrow will see the closing of the shooting on all targets, and within the eleven hours the Californian men are de- termined that it will not be through any negiect on their part if they do not do some big scoring. However, even if they were to rest with their laurels to-night, their record at this Schuetzenfest is one that any Schuetzen verein or rifle club might well be proud to possess. SRR e MURDERED HER HUSBAND. An Illinois Woman Found Guilty of Manslaughter. GALESBURG, Irn., July 7.—The jury in the case of the State vs. Ida Johnson, charged with murdering her husband, ex- Alderman Charles F. Johnson, brought in a verdict this mornming finding the de- fendant guilty of manslaughter, and fixin, the sentence at ten years in the peni- tentiary. ——— Jealousy Causes a Double Tragedy. CLINTON, Towa, July 7.—The little town of Calamus, thirty miles west of here, was the scene of a shocking double tragedy to-day. Robert Brown fatally shot his wife and then killed himself. Jealousy was the cause of the crime. The couple had been married only two months. S 1 R Consul Hunger Iteturns, NEW YORK, N.

Populist Leaders Decide on a Gathering in August. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., July 7.—It is learned here to-day that the Populists will, in the next few days, issue a general circu- lar, signed by the leadersof that party, for a Populist convention, to meet either in Chicago or St. Louis, early in August. It is proposed to invite free silver men from all political parties from all States in the Union to send delegates to the con- vention. Populists here say if the movement de- velops sufficient strength a free silver plat- form will be issued, Presiaential candi- dates for 1896 be agreed upon and the fight made for success on the one principle of increasing the volume of currency. VICTIHS OF A COLLISION. An Electric Car Struck and Wrecked by a Coal Train. WARREN, Oro, July 7,—A grade cross- ing near Riverside Park, seven miles from Warren, was the scene of a heartrending accident late this afternoon. An electric car coming from the park was struck by a coal train on the Niles and Lisbon division of the Erie road. Frank Wilson, a merchant of Niles, was instantly killed, his body being cut into several pieces. Other S n the electric car who were usly injured are: Mrs. G Holler, Bert Ramsey, Miss Lewis of rren, M. Ripple, Frank Baker of Warren and Wil- liam Lewis of Niles. The men in charge of the car, Sam GRAY GABLES-SUMMER RESIDENCE OF PRESIDENT CLEVELAND [From Leslie’s Magazine.] ing, and the grown people at Buzzards | | Bay told their children that it would be | well to look sharp, as the long-awaited visit of the stork to Gray Gables was close | | at hand. There were several callers at Gray Gables yesterday afternoon, and Dr. | Bryant did not leave until midnight. He went up to the house early this morn- ing, and did not appear again until he an- nounced the good news from the front door. All the neighbors of the Clevelands, both rich and poor, were in a state of sup- pressed excitement, and many of them strolled by Gray Gables in the hope of hearing something. A few saw Mr. Cleveland, and asserted that he looked anxious but hopeful. Everybody knew why he looked anxious, and everybody also knew why he looked hopeful. There are two little girls already, and from the first both Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland bave wished for a son. There was a general feeling that the stork was going to do the proper thing, and would bring a little one that would perpetuate the name of the great man. But the doctor found that the stork had again behaved itself in the traditional | manner of storks who bring bad presents | to the houses of the great, and so Mr. and | Mrs. Cleveland have three daughters, each | separated from the other by exactly | twenty months. The little stranger who has been so for- tunate from a worldly point of view in the selection of her parents pushed open the door of life and stood waiting on the threshold on the most beautiful day at Buzzards Bay thus far this season. The day has been cloudless, and a cool, fresh breeze has blown gently off the sparkiing bay and in through the open windows of Gray Gables. When this new comer arrived the little sister was sound asleep and the oldest child was out with her nurse. When Mr. Cleveland first heard the news he must have been somewhat disappointed, but he is fond of little girls, so he had no difficulty in putting a look of genuine welcome on his face as he bent over his third daughter to seek those fleeting resemblances which only a parent’s eyes are ever able to, dis- cover; and when he saw the ‘newspaper | men in the evening he was beaming, but would not tatk about it. } A GIRL AND 4 PISTOL.

TWO HOMES DESTROVED. The Wife of Joaquin Mora Elopes With a Music Teacher. They Are Supposed to Be on Board a Steamer Bound for Germany. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 7.—A morn- ing paper says: Mrs. Dolores Mora, daugh- ter-in-law of Antonio Maximo Mora, whose claim for $2,000,000 against Spain for the confiscation of his Cuban sugar plantation, is a well-known international question, has left her husband and family under circumstances that suggest an elope- ment. The man in the case is supposed to be Professor Adolph Peterson, music teacher in S8t. John’s College at Fordham and organist of the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Mercy, in Webster avenue. Mrs. Mora is the wife of Joaquin Mora, a carriage manufacturer of No. 685 Broad- way. Until about a year ago the family lived at No. 22683 Marion avenue, Fordham. ‘While at this address Professor Peterson was engaged as music teacher for Mrs. Mora’s eldest child, Flora, a remarkably handsome girl, now 16 years of age. Itis said that the professor soon became very attentive to his pupil's mother, a well- ggeserved though rather stout woman of In some manner Mr. Mora discovered the attachment existed between the two. He remonstrated in emphatic Spanish and removed his family and worldly%elengings to One Hundred and Sixty-fourth street near Trinity avenuein order to separate his wife and her adorer. That he did not succeed is evident from the fact that Mr. SEEKS A THIRD TERM. Mr. Cleveland Already Engaged in an Active Canvass. LAMONT’S WESTERN TRIP: His Mission Said to Be to Get in Touch With Democratic Sentiment. CERTAIN OF EASTERN SUPPORT. Every New England State Will Send Delegations Pledged to the President. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 7.—A Wash« ington special to the Press says: Not only is Mr. Cleveland a candidate for the third term, but indications are not lacking that he is already engaged in an aggressive canvass in this interest. Secre- tary Lamont’s tour among the Western army posts is in reality an electioneering device. It hasbeen the custom of recent Secretaries to investigate the condition of the army at regular stations, and this cus- tom Lamont found specially adaptable to his political designs. If Mr. Cleveland expects to be President again, he is enough of a politician to know that the achievement of his ambition will require the most skillful political manipu- lation. Itis Secretary Lamont’s mission to get in touch with Democratic sentiment through the West, and to find out exactly what needs to be done to conciliate West- ern sentiment and bring support to the third-term scheme. So far as the East is concerned Mr. Cleveland has no anxiety. He believes that the issue of ‘‘sound money,” which he thinks he has created, will be sufficient to secure him the support of New England and the Middle States, although he under- stands the difficulties that will confront him in New York. But when he was nom- inated in 1892 it was done by delegates from the West and South, and it is for these that he is most solicitous now. Mr. Cleveland believes that the longer the discussion of candidates can be de- ferred the better his chance will be. While there is no other aspirant for the nomina- tion sutficiently conspicuous to attract to himself the attention of great masses of the party, Mr. Cleveland is confident that the movement of sentiment will be toward him. From now until the time of the con- vention, with a Republican Congress, Cleveland as President will be the central Democratic figure, and whether the Demo- cratic leaders like it or not, on him, he thinks, the eyes of the party must be turned daily for guidance and instruction. It will not be necessary for him to make any formal announcement of his candi- dacy. The fact that he is witling to accept the nomination is sufficient, and his friends understand perfectly well that a nomination will not b2 declined. The throwing out of vague hints that the President is not seeking a third term, linked to the persistent discouragement of other candidates so as to leave the party in a demoralized and uncertain condition when the time for action arrives, are the main features of the scheme which the ad- ministration has entered into. An active propaganda has already been instituted in Massachusetts, which is the headquarters of the Cleveland cult. A prominent Massachusetts Democrat who was in Washington last week declared that if Mr. Cleveland wanted the Demo- cratic nomination again he could have it, and that delegations pledged to him would go to the convention from every New Eng- land State. The same is asserted of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and Secretary Lamont is expected to lay the wires for delegates in the West during the trip he is now making at public expense. Mr. Cleveland is confident that by pur- suing these tactics he will be able to_con- trol the Democratic convention and, by the force of prestige and position, in’ the face of disorganization and division on the partfof men who might otherwise suc- cessfully contest his supremacy, to secure the nomination. Mora caught them on one of Fordham’s streets, when a wordy war ensued. Matters remained in statu quo, however, until last Wednesday, when Mrs. Mora, who is a very nervous and excitable woman, had a quarrel with her husband, and left her home, after taking her jewelry and some money. She went direct to Fordham, where she met Peterson. He hadgust collected $50 from various sources and the couple took dinner at a hotel near the trolley termi- nus. The last seen of them was when they boarded a train for the Grand Central sta- tion. Itis supposed that they left this city for Germany on one of the steamers which sailed on Saturday. ‘When Mr. Mora became convinced of his wife’s desertion he movad to 15 Macon street, Brooklyn, where he has relatives. Mrs. Peterson and her two children are penniless and on Saturday were compelled to vacate their house in Fordham. moving to 589 Columbus avenue. She is Peterson’s second wife. The first wife (nee Miss Dutton) obtained a divorce from Peterson some twenty years ago and has threatened to prosecute her ex-husband for failure to pay the alimony awarded to her by order of the court. abtn gt HUSBAND AND WIFE CREMATED. An Explosion of Gasoline Causes Two Shocking Deaths. CHICAGO, ILL., July 7.—Mr. and Mrs. Gunwalk of South Chicago were burned to death this morning. Mrs. Gunwalk was gelting ready to cook breakfast when the gasoline exploded and set fire to her dress. She called to her hus- band, who ran to her assistance. He, be- ing a laborer, bad on his working clothes, which were covered with oil and grease. His clothing caught at once and blazed like atorch. The building then caught and pburned to the ground. Mrs. Meyers, the mother of Mrs. Gunwalk, was the only other occupant of the house. She was res- cued from the flames, but is prostrated by the shock and will probably die. The bodies of the man and wife were charred beyond recognition. S L O Chief Perryman Suspended. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 7.—A long- drawn-out treasury squabble in the Creek Nation ended yesterday by the Council passing an act suspending Chief Perryman Saved His Life SNl 22~ —by a fortunate discovery in the nick of time. Hundreds of per- ," \ sons suffering ST from consump- i tion have had the smgfess of fl:f lisease stoppe: ; and have geen ‘brought back to life and health by the “Golden Medical Discov- Q,:-a = ery” of Dr. Pierce. Years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, now chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Ho- tel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y.,recognizing the fact that consump- tion was essentially a germ disease, and that a remedy which would drive the germs and their poisons from the blood would cure consumption, at last found a medicine which cured 98 per cent. of all cases, if taken in the earlier stages. The tissues of the lungs being irritated by the germs and poisons in the blood circulating through them, the germs find lodgment there, and the lungs begin to break down. Soon the general health begins to fail, and the person feels lan- guid, weak, faint, drowsy and confused. This is the tim@ to take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery; it drives the germs and poisons from the blood, and has a soothing effect upon the dry cough. “Golden Medical Discovery” increases the amount and aualily of the blood, thus invigorating and fortifying the system against disease and builds up flesh. JNo. M. HITE, of Audubon, Audubon. Co., Za., says: “1 took a severe cold which settled on my lungs aud chest, and I suf- fered intensely with it.
