MILTON RECOVERS FROMJTS FRIGHT Storm Which Swept Over the Little Town Caused Reign of Terror. (Palladium Special) MILTON, lnd. March. 22. Milton people are today recovering from the effects of the fright they received Wednesday night and early Thursday morning during the terrific rain, sleet and wind storm which swept over the entire county. About one o'clock: Thursday morning a section of the traction trolley wire fell under its burden of ice and dropped over several telephone wires, tearing them from the poles. Immediately in nearly every home in town the telephone bells began to ring ad ding to the uproar caused by falling limbs and the high wind, and striking terror In the hearts of the townspeople. Many, clad only in their "nighties." dashed for the phones only to receive

a stinging shock when they picked up the receivers. The ringing of the bells continued for at least two hours. O. B. Bryant, mystified by the .strange behavior of his telephone left his house to ascertain the cause. Near the Farmers' bank he saw a brilliant pyrotechnlcal display, probably caused . by the grounded trolley and telephone wires, but Mr. Bryant concluded that burglars had again broken into the bank. He rushed Into his house, secured his rifle, returned to the street land opened fire to alarm the citizens. j This only brought fresh terror to the (already thoroughly alarmed MUtonltes and only a few responded to Byrant's Mann. While this excitement was In proi grass the telephone boxes in the homes of Theodore Crist and O. H. Bee son caught fire threatening the de atnictkm ot the resldenoee for a time. (Mr. and Mrs. Beeson were badly shockred while extinguishing the blase in .their home. When daylight came and the people ef Milton saw the town was . still on the map sighs of relief arose In ;om great chorus.

WORLD'S FAIREST LASSIE IS FOUND PITT8BUR0, Penn., March 23. Virginia Lee, aged 20 years, a stenographer of this city, has been declared by Andrew Caruegle, the millionaire steel master, to be the prettiest, girl in the world. Miss Lee. a graduate of the class of ISO. Margaret Morrison Carnegie 8cbools, aas never been seen in person the Laird of Skibo. He obtained her photo from her father In Hot 8prlngs, Ark, where he Is sojourning, and wss immediately struck with her demure attractiveness. Ho gave her picture to a local newspaper, with the request that It

be published. The steel master wrote on the back of the photograph "Bonnie Virginia Lee, a prise for some lucky man. Andrew Carnegie." Several days ago Mr. Carnegie met Miss Lee's father in Hot Springs. Mr. Lee thanked the steel master for the educational advantages his daughter had enjoyed at the Margaret Morrison Schools, and Mr. Carnegie asked for the girl's picture. - A newspaper correspondent was talking with Mr. Carnegie in Hot Springs, when the steel muster exclaimed: "By the way, I found the prettiest girl la the world, and she is a Plttsburger. a graduate of the Margaret Morrison Schools." and ho displayed the picture. "That girl would make a good wife for some nice young man. If I were not a benedict I would take the first train to Pittsburg, but," he said smilingly, "I guess some one else has seen In Miss Lee what I have seen that she Is a pearl above price." Miss Lee was found busily engaged pounding a typewriter in the oOces of the Loughridge Engineering Company, where she Is engaged. And she Is every bit as attractive as Mr. Carnegie says she la ' "Why. the Idea," she said; "I do lit know Mr. Carnegie. Mr. Carnegie might think that I am a pretty girl, but please dont say so In the newspapers." Miss Leo has a great wealth of brown hair and big blue eyes, 'tiny kind ot eyes that reach the heart.

It is now conceded by physicians

that the kidneys should have more at- j tentlon as they control the other or-1 gans to a remarkable degree and do ' a tremendous amount of work in re- ' moving the poisons and waste matter

fro mthe system by filtering the blood. During the winter months especially, when we live an indoor life, the kidneys should receive some assistance when needed, as we take less exercise, drink less water, and often eat more rich heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than Nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, smarting or burning, brick-dust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, may be weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble. An herbal medicine containing no minerals or opiates has the most healing influence. An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. You may receive a sample bottle of

Swamp-Root by mail absolutely free. , Address Dr. Kilmer Co., Binghampton, '

CURIOUS CLOCKS.

One In a Prying Pan With a Knife and Fork For Hands. In a Third avenue restaurant there has been for more than twenty years an odd clock on the wall. The clock Is plsced in a frying pun. . Tue bottom of the pan forms the ftice of the clock, and the hours sre numbered on oyster shells fastened to the pan. The hour and minute hands sre a fork and knife. Other curious clocks stand in out of the way corners of the city. In a dime museum tbst used to be on the Bowery there stood for many years a huge clock, about the size of the ordinary roll top desk, said to bare been made by a cripple with the aid of a fretsaw and a jackknlfe. This clock was made of 70.000 pieces of wood of different kinds. It bad Are dials, showing tbe time In Londou. Paris. Berlin. St Petersburg and New York. There were also dials that indicated tbe phases of the moou. orbit of the earth, small figures representing tbe last supper, tbe crucifixion and other Biblical scenes. Tbe quarters, halves and hours were struck ou small bells by gnomelike figures mude to resemble familiar dwarfs in the Sleepy Hollow scene of "Rip Van Winkle." For many years this clock was tbe main feature In the museum, it whs later bought by a club, It Is said. New York Sun.

BUILT FOR WASHINGTON. A Philadelphia House the President Refused to Occupy. The second year of Washington's administration the seat of government

was removed from New York tu Pbll-j adelpbla. In tbe meantime tbe federal 1 city, Washington, was in building, and ) the legislature of Pennsylvania voted a j sum of money to build a house for tbe ; president, perhaps with some bupe that I thismight help to keep tbe seat of the! general government in tbe capital, for j Philadelphia was then considered as'

tbe capital of the state. What was since tbe University ot Pennsylvania was the structure erected for the purpose. But as soon as General Washington saw its dimensions and a good while before it was finished he let it be known that be would not occupy It and should certainly not go to the expense of purchasing suitable furnitbre for such a dwelling, for It is to be understood in those days of stern republicanism nobody thought of congress furnishing the president's house, or If perchance such a thought did enter into nomc aristocratic bead it was too unpopular to be uttered. President Washington therefore rented a bouse ot Mr. Robert Morris in Market street between Fifth and Sixth on the south side and furnished It handsomely but not gorreously. Exchange. FOR RENT.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Were you ever on a committee?" asked Sal. "Nothin but the County Central Committee," replied the cynic. j "I mean a committee," retorted Sal. "Not a black-hand society." "You do me a grievous wrong there," deployed the cynic: "I am not an assassin, but a peace-loving patriot. My duty to my country led into " "This ambush," mocked Sal. "I will never cease to deplore that spirit of levity and skepticism, my dear Sal." interrupted the cynic, "which has, I fear, kept you out of many ot the good things of this life." "Such as?" "Well, let us say matrimony." "I have enough to trouble me," said Sarah, "without taking on the incubus of a husband." "Ah, but," murmured the cynic lazily blowing cigarette rings toward the ceiling, "it is woman's sphere. What greater happiness than ministering to a household. Her life bound up In its four walls. Coddling, petting, humouring, boosting along, educating " ' "Yes," cried Sal, "sewing, patching, mending, darning, cooking, sweeping, ironing, washing, scrubbing its a lovely picture. I'm sick of this rot about 'woman's sphere.' " "Oh, well, Sal, I didn't mean to 'rile you up,' " soothed the cynic. "To one of your excitable temperament and realistic outlook, marriage presents " "Cut it out," said Sarah. "We're always talking about marriage and stuff like that. What I want to know is were you ever on a committee?" "I told you nothin' but the County " "Oh, that aggregation of backstairs politicians!" said Sal. "I mean a committee for a church social, or club meeting, or a lodge entertainment, or a Sunday-school picnic, or an old settler's meeting, or anything like that," she added vaguely. "Come to think of it I was on a committee for a church supper once," said the cynic. "The Men's League gave a supper to the Young Woman's Amalgamated Soul-Uplift Society. I was chairman, I think. I was to furnish the cake." "Did you furnish it?" asked Sal. "Well, yes, after a fashion," grinned the cynic. "I went up to Mayhew's bakery and bought up a job lot at the last moment and they never knew the difference." "You see," said the cynic meditatively," it was this way. I was the chairman and seven women were appointed to assist me. I furnished the decorative effects, so to speak, and the wom

en the cake. They appointed a committee meeting for half past eight one morning. Of course I couldn't be any place at that hour. So I told Mrs. Wigglestick, wife of the church treasurer, to take charge of the meeting and I

give you my word I never gave it another thought until the evening it was to be pulled off and Borem called me up and reminded me that the fatal hour had arrived." "When I got to the door Mrs. Wigglestick and two other women greeted me severely. " 'Where's the cake?' " they asked. " 'Cake!'" I returned. "Yes, cake!'" they vociferated. " 'Why, my dear Mrs. Wigglestick, I Bays, I thought you agreed to get the cake. " " 'You are entirely mistaken,' she returned snapping her jaws, together like a mouse-trap. 'I never agreed to get the cake!' "Wh what!' I gasped feebly. 'Why I er certainly you took charge " 'You asked me to take charge of the first meeting of the committee,' ejaculated Mrs. Wigglestick, 'not to furnish the cake.' " 'Anyway,' interrupted another of 'em, 'Laura Buttinsky said you had intimated to her that she should buy all the sugar and supervise the preparations and so supposed there was nothing for lis to do.' " 'I see myself baking cakes to Laura Buttinsky's dictation,' hissed Mrs. Wigglestick. "'And so ' I says. "'And so' they said.

chanted in unison. "It was then that I repaired to Mayhew's bakery and bought up everything in sight. As no one ever expects to get anything less than a week old at these church jamborees anyway, nobody knew the difference, and I'll say it for the women that they never told until after the cake set definite sail. "It seems they had been fussing among themselves all the time and nobody would do anything because everybody wasn't going to let anybody else run 'em. "And the thing that I never could

understand," said the cynic

"was the fact that each of those seven

women said that I had asked them to take exclusive charge of the cakes." "Pooh," said Sal, "that's nothing. You ought to attend a woman's club convention! For ways that are devious the County Central Committee is a lawn social or a croquet festival in comparison." "You alarm me," murmured the cyn-

A LITTLE DIAPEPSII1 ENDS IIIDIGESTi

REGULATES SICK, SOUR, UPSET STOMACHS.

A little1 Diapepsin relieves bad Stomachs in five minutes. As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of Indigestion or some form of Stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Diapepsin in the house handy? This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy Stomach five minutes after. Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula, plainly printed on these 60-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily see why it makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heartburn and other distress go in five minutes, and relieves at once such miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructations of sour, undigested, food. Nausea, Head

aches, Dizziness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders. j Some folks have tried so long to find ' relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia or an out-of-door stomach with the common, every day cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer. i This, no doubt, is a serious mis-! take. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it fer-. ments and sours, turns to acid, Gas j and Stomach poison, which purify in the digestive tract and intestines, and, besides, poison the breath with nae- j seous odors. A hearty appetite, with thorough di- j gestion, and without the slightest dis-

comfort or misery of the Stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.
