TOROHLIGffiCT. SIXTEENTH YEAR. XENIA OHIO, WEDNESDAY EVENING JANUARY 27, 1897. PRICE 3 (IMS. is Working Wf Paine's celery compound is working miracles in the cure of disease! So saya a recent article by the foremost medical essayist in Boston.

"Nothing shows more he adds, "the astonishing capability of Paine's celery compound the thoughtful, openminded 5 class of people who use it and rec- ommend it, both in public and among their closest and dearest friends and relatives. Among us (physicians) there is no lor ger any hesitancy in recommending this remedy without stint of praise." About the same time the above article was published there appeared in the Boston Journal, the following letter from David K. Chasser of 452 Windsor street, Catnbridgeport, a suburb of Boston: "I take great pleasure in testifying to the extraordinary merits of Paine's celery compound. For some time past I have been under the treatment of two well-known local doctors, but their combined efforts proved of no avail. I have boon for years a harsh skeptic in regard to advertised medicines, but having suffered excruciating pains in the head, which the doctors informed me were due to neuralgic symptoms, I determined to try Paine's celery compound on the advice of a friend.

"To my surprise I found an entire change going on after taking a little over three bottles and I began to feel like a new man. I have for the past 10 or 12 years suffered from pains in the back and other symptoms of derangement of the kidneys and bladder, and have spent many sleepless nights in consequence, but now I sleep soundly, thanks to the common sense which induced me to try Paine's celerv compound. I will ever praise the marvelous potency of this valuable medicine, and at any time will be glad to give personal testimony at my address, should any sufferer care to call, as I consider it selfish to keep such a blessing boused up, and think the proprietors of Paine's celery compound deserving of more thanks than I can convey in words, for making me a new man." A word to other sufferers Go to your druggist for a bottle of Paine's celery compound, and allow him to sell you nothing else! One man may be as good as another, but there is just as vast a difference in his clothes as there is underneath them. The apparel oft proclaims the man, as the apparel oft proclaims what toilor makes th.em. When you see a suit of clothing that is the acme of perfection in fit, style, finish and novelty of material, it proclaims that I made it, and at a reasonable price.

Through the syste matic canvass of the police and the prompt attention to the cases re ported by the officers, it is safe to say that but few persons suffered to night in Chicago from cold or hun ger. During the past 48 hours not less than 1,200 families were supplied through the police with food and fuel. The work of the police was to-day re-enforced by that of the letter carriers, who, acting on Postmaster Hesing's orders, gathered the names of the unfortunate on their routes and turned them in to the sub-stations, the superintendents of which then reported to the police. The work of the Salvation Army was far- reaching and the information in the hands of the "slum" workers was used to great advantage in the relief work. Mayor Swift was busy all day receiving subscriptions to the relief fund.

The Pabst Brewing Company, of Milwaukee, telegraphed Mayor Swift that it had sent $1,000 to help feed the hungry. The largest contribution so far made to the public relief fund was by the officials and employes ot the Postal Telegraph and Cable Company, who raised $2,000. The lumber dealers of the city raised $1,300 in fifteen minutes to-day, and promised that by tomorrow morning the amount would be $2,500. A large fund was raised among the exhibitors of cycles at the National Cycle Exposition now being held here. The list was headed by the Pope Manufacturing Company with a contribution of $1,000, and will amount to a large sum when completed.

Fully $35,000 has been raised for relief work in the last two days by voluntary responses to Mayor Swift's proclamation. ANCIENT BILLS OF EXCHANGE. Credit Entered Into Transaction of Centuries Ago.

The second is dated 1399; the third, drawn in Pisa, is also dated 1399; the next two were drawn in Valencia in 1411 and 1630 respectively; the sixth was drawn at Ro- eellon, in Prance, in 1445; and the last fit Naples in 1535. A translation-of the first reads as follows: conformity with this first letter, you will pay within the next two months, counting from the date of this, to the woman bilh. wife of the deceased Mr. Jaime.

Lilinokalani held a reception this afternoon for two hours at her rooms. The Queen was assisted in the reception of visitors by her lady in waiting, Miss Kia Nahaolelua, and by her secretary and agent, Joseph Heleluhe, both native Hawalians. Mr.

Palmer, acting as her chamberlain, received the callers at the doorway and presented them to the receiving party. The Queen was becomingly attired in a black silk gown, trimmed with royal purple, and bore herself with great dignity, responding aptly to the salutations of her callers, and having a pleasant word for everyone. She said that she did not know how long she would stay in Washington. Generated in the Human The Kesult of Imperfect Digestion of Food, Every living thing, plant or animal contains within itself the germs of certain decay and death. In the human body these germs of disease and death (called by scientists Ptomaines), are usually the result of imperfect digestion of food the result of indigestion or dyspepsia.

The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does not promptly and thoroughly digest the food. The result is a heavy, sodden mass which ferments (the first process of decay) poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak, and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning the brain causing headaches and pain in the eyes. Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing palpitation and finally bringing on disease of this very important organ. Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, causing Bright's disease and diabetes. And this is so because every organ, every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, bub in weak nerves and muddy complexion.

The great English scientist, Huxley, said the best start in life is a sound stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly, because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic products; the most sensible remedy in all cases of indigestion, is to take after each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply in a pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak stomachs lack. The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. They increase flesh, insure pure blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and clear complexion, because all these result only from wholesome food well digested. Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents full sized package or by mail by enclosing price to Stuart Marshall, but ask your druggist first.

GREAT FIRE IN OITY OF PHILADELPHIA Attacked City Hall and Wanamaker's Great Over $2,500,000, PHILADELPHIA, Jan. The most disastrous conflagration that has visited this city in recent years broke out shortly before 7 o'clock thio morning in the rear of the basement of the big grocery store of Hansom 1317 Market street, and before the names were gotten under control, property amounting in value to $2,500,000 or more had been destroyed. Before the engines reached the scene the entire rear portion of Hansom Denner's big restaurant was ablaze.

A second alarm was then sent in and a few moments later a general alarm was sounded. Blum cloak factory, adjoining Hanscorn's, was soon a mass of flames. The water seemed almost to freeze before it touched the buildings, so bitter cold was the weather. The next building on the west to be eaten up by the raging fire was that occupied by George Marshall as a restaurant; then came the hat manufactory of Geo. B.

Wells, at 1323, and the rear of the wholesale grocery of Showall Fryer, at 1325 Market street. While the FLAMES W1CRE SWEEPING West of Market street, the umbrella factory of Hirsch the largest in the world, caught fire. On the east of the Hirsch building, between 1309 and 1301 Market street, were the following tenants: The Mizpah restaurant, 1307; Sterner Ball, wholesale and retail cigar factory, 1305; wholesale and retail confectionery of A. Nickolacky, 1303, and the big drug store of H. Hillmau, at 1301, the upper story of which was occupied by Potter Bros, as a photograph gallery.

At 8 :15 a. m. lire was discovered in the tower of John Wanamaker's big dry goods store across Market street. A stream from one of the water towers was turned on the burning structure, but the supply of water was either too small or the apparatus defective, as the stream would not reach The tower contained a handsome clock and chimes. At 9 o'clock the ENTIRE TOWER COL-LAPSED, The clock falling through to the first floor.

Two lines of hose were then got on top of the gigantic structure, and the names, which had threatened to destroy Philadelphia's most famous store, were soon under control. The fire had been confined entirely to the Market-street front, and loss sustained by Mr. Wanamaker was principally in the destruction of his clock and chimes and the breaking of all the large plate-glass windows on Market street. Much sympathy is expressed' daring the winter months for the mtrtorman or car conductor, who is exposed to the weather for many hours at a stretch, and many devices have been suggested to keep him warm. The latest is a stove in a specially constructed storm coat.

The outfit consists of two bloomer-like skirt, which hangs from the waist, and a coat. The lower front of the skirt contains a very small carbon burning stove, which takes up little room. The fuel is a patented preparation, that gives heat without smoke, and Is often used In stoves on yachts. The stove is regulated by means of draught holes. The fuel is made up in little round cakes, which cost about 10 cents a dozen, and one of them will burn for four hours.

The hot air is circulated through the upper garment, which is left slightly distended by a wire spring in the lining. Marvelous Eesults, From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderm.au, of Dimondale, we are permitted to make this extract "I have 110 hesitation, in recommending Dr. Kings' New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife.

While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Janction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeded by La Grippe. Terrible par- oxisms of Coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could noli survive them.

IRON ESCAPED, Two Lives Lost in a Furnace Fire at Jackson, 0, JACKSON, Jan. Furnace, the largest iron manufacturing plant in this city, was burned this afternoon.
