New Zealand Grows Enthus iastic at Approach of Atlantic Fleet.

Chicago, Aug. 4. Fire which was so lot the firemen could not, get nearer than a block of it and which made it necessary to play streams of water on buildings three and four squares away, yesterday afternoon destroyed the Burlington elevators "E" and "F", the dock transfer warehouse of that road and either burned or rendered useless 100 box cars. The loss on the grain in the two elevators is placed by Armour & Co., who owned it, at $700,000. The total estimated loss is 11,000,000. The fire started at 1 p. m. in the Burlington warehouse, supposedly from a cigarette dropped near barrels containing chemicals. At the first explosion, which shook every building in the vicinity, the 250 men employed in the warehouse and elevators fled and It is believed all escaped, although there were unconfirmed reports that three men hemmed in by flames had been unable to get away. Eighty fire companies and three fire tugs had all they could do to confine the conflagration to its original limits. The intense heat rendered any effort to save the elevators hopeless. The streams of water by the time they had traversed the block from the nozzles were mere showers of spray which quickly formed into clouds of feteam. At 3 o'clock Fire Marshal Horan declared that further spread of the fiames was not to be feared. For several hours however, firemen continued to play water on the debris.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 4. Mr. Bryan has been enabled to transact a good deal of business as callers have been few at Fairvlew in the past few days. He has been answering letters and outlining several speeches which he will make within a month. In view of the Bonaparte opinion that national banks can not comply with Oklahoma's state law with respect to the guaranty of deposits, a subject in which Mr. Bryan is deeply interested, it is to be presumed that be will make it one of the leading issues of the campaign. Already hd has decided to make it the feature of his Topeka speech the latter part of this month. Mr. Bryan was not advised of the causes which yesterday prevented his unanimous election as a member of the Typographical union of Lincoln, along with Governor Sheldon, and he was disinclined to discuss the matter beyond stating that only a short time ago a large delegation of the Central Labor union, with which the Typographical union is allied, visited his home and presented him with resolutions expressing confidence in him. It was said last night that trade reasons and a desire to avoid politics were the factors that controlled those offering objections to the election of Mr. Bryan to membership.

THE ADDRESS BEAUTIFUL.

Smith, of West Franklin, Maine, says: "I like good things and have adopted Dr. King's New Life Pills as our family laxative medicine "because they are good and do their work without making a fuss about it."

GUILD ORTAUTV IN SUPLIER Every summer the newspapers are full of horrifying stories of the death list among infants and children and extremely old people. In nursing infants and children still being fed largely on milk this is usually due to the quality of the USE " mil itself, and in aged people to a general vreaknn rALHWELUQ ening of the system because of extreme heat. M VnilDDrDClH StU1, a S11 many of the deaths are due to digesSYliUI rbrSiri tive trouble, and these can usually be avoided by the timely use of a reliable laxative-tonic. There is no remedy for this purpose that lends itself better to the uses of children and aged people than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which for a generation has been the reliance of tboasaads.ef mother ana which is rainta? in favor every year. This remedy, unlike a parpativ. salt, laxative water or "infant medicine." contains nothing that is danserons to the

HAGERSTQWN FAIR FINANCIAL SUCCESS

Money Was Left in the General Treasury.

Hagerstown, Ind., Aug. 4. The Hagerstown fair this year was one of the

most successful that the association has ever held. There was no gambling, no drunks and the exhibitions were the best that they have ever had and the best thing of all is the fact that for the first time in a number of year3 the association made money. Although they did not clear much they paid all their expenses and then had a small sum left in the general treasury.

You Will Need an Oil Stove'

When warm days and the kitchen fire make cooking a bur

den then is the time

to try a New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove.

Marvelous how this stove does away with kitchen discomforts how cool it keeps the room in comparison with .

conditions when the coal

fire was burning. The quick concentrated heat of the

Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove goes directly to boil the kettle or bake the bread, and none is diffused about the room to overheat it. Thus using the VNew Perfection" is real kitchen comfort. Made in three Q sizes and fully warranted. If not with your dealer, write our nearest agency. '
