uAway, then!" exclaimed Brown-
springing quickly into the saddle.!
IhQ Indian slackened the bridle to
his wild horse, and Captain Brown,
who was admirably -mounted, .'.spurred
closely upon the traces of the chief.
Followed by the remaining officers,
they soon reached the herd, which, cn
perceiving their assailants, at o:ic took
to flight. The horses gained upen them,
however. . Ilolibri seemed at first to have
selected a fat young cow for his victim,
but from a feeling of pride he scorned
the easy. prey and spurreel furiously
after the leader of the buffaloes, an
enormous bull. By thus aiming at the
head cf the herd ho caused the beasts to
disperse in wild cenfusien ever the
plain, anfl the chase became scattered.

A DISASTROUS CLOUDBURST.
Great Destruction of Troperty and Loss oJ
Life in West Virginia.
"Wheeling, W. Ya., June 25! Report;
from Marshall, Wetzel and Tyler counties,
which lie immeeliately south of here, are
to the effect that 'great damage has been
done and some lives lost by a great cloud
burst about 3 :20 yesterday afternoon. In
Marshall the damage in and about Mounts
ville will reach several thousand ' dollars.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad track
and other property were damaged to the
extent of $3,000 by the washouts. In Tyler
county, in the vicinity of Sistersville.'the
storm created the most havoc.
For two days it had been raining almost
incessantly, and 1 the little streams were
swollen to twice ieir natural size. "When
the cloudburst came they became raging
rivers and swept everything in their path
way.-
A. mile below Sistersville the Ohio River
railway was washed out for a distance of
a, mile and a half, and the rails, with the
tie.? attached, are lying 200 fqst- out of po
sition. The loss will be over 10.000.. Sev
eral houses were washed away, and the
occupants narrowly escaped after ropes
were thrown to them. The Carter Oil
company lost several rigs, and it is thought
that damage to other oil properties" in the
back part of the county has occurred.
Several instances of teams and cattle
being washed away are reported. There
were five men in one wagon, and only two
of them were rescued alive.,
New Martinsville, 'Wetzel county, is iii
great danger, as Fishing creek, which runs
through the town, is a raging torrent, and
the inhabitants of the village have taken
to the hills. The latest reports from the
country districts are that the damage is
enormous. Many houses have been washed
away, and it is feared that there has been
much loss of life, but reports, on account
of the storm, are meagre.

: A Lesson In Natural History.
A gilded steer above the cupola on
the Exchange building at the stockyards
tells the cattlemen which way the wind
blows. ' The steer is a work cf art and
much admired, and yet it remains a
contradiction , to the belief that 'cattle-,
men are observers cf the habits of 'cattle.
"What does a s,teer do when the wind
blows hard?" an old plains cattleman
was asked. .'.'-... I -
"He turns his tail to the wind, humps
his back and waits for fair weather, "
answered the plainsm.au. j
"There's a steer that doesn't" said
his questioner, pointing to the gilded
steer on the cupola, which faced a ten
mile an hour wind, disregarding the
weir known habit cf his kind. j
"Well, if that ain't so I'll be beat,"
said the old cattleman. "But it's just
like the market, goes by contraries.
Perhaps that's why it faces the wind.
But I guess mere likely they let the
contract fcr that vane to a tenderfoot
who never saw a steer and never was
out of the city." j
Down' iii the yards the Wind blew
, from the nci-th, and every steer and cow
had it3 back to the wind and stood
humped up, placidly chewing its; cud.
. The pictures of plains cattle in a
storm by Frederic Remington all show
the cattle with heads away from' the
wind, and plainsmen swear to the cor
rectness of Remington's pictures To be
consistent, the gilded steer ovcr jthe cu
pola should be reset t to do as'do his
brethren on the plains' and" in the pens
of the stockyards. As it is he is an an
noyance to many cf the cattlemen at

The dream of
Ponce de Leon wa3
that he might dis
cover the fountain
of perpetual youth.
He died searching
for it: The fountain
he was looking for
was an impossibil
ity, unnatural anqj
chimerical. The
nearest thing, to the
fountain of perpet-
al youth is a foun-
ain of perpetual,
perfect health.
Health keeps people
young. Sickness
makes them old.
Health means first
of all, strength and
regularity in the dl-
gesuve iuntuuus.
Put indigestible mat
ter into the stomach,
and it is likely to
find lodgment in the
bowels. It will stop
their action. Poi

have been thrown

body, and as it cannot go any placeelse,
more-or less of it gets into the blood.
Tot'c rictir.fltion. It.is such a wonder
fully simple thing that people do not regard
it seriously. They let it run on, let it grow
chronic, and show itself all
over the body in fifty ways before they con
eMr it imnnrtant. Constipation causes
nine-tenths of all human ailments. Its first
CTm.nt'ntiic r,n not seem very serious, but
tiipv are verv disagreeable. A few of
L them are sour stomach, flatulence, heart-
burn, distress alter eaung, ioui uicaw,
coated tongue, dizziness, palpitatipn of the
heart sick and bilious headaches, general
lassitude and debility. When any of these
symptoms sjblow themselves, you should

lets, according to directions.; They are tiny,
su"-ar-coated granules, made on purpose to
cure constipation. They do this perfectly
and quickly, irMthey are the only prepara
tion in the-world that will do it. There are
plenty of medicines that will give relief as
lon- as you keep on taking them, but you
can?t stop. They don't cure ; they give
merely temporary relief. Doctor Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets give immediate relief and
produce a permanent cure. - -
