It was built exprestsly for the firm of j Kem. Bnttson A Beeler, who took possess; im and forma jy opened the ; same to the public September 23. That opening and the sneoests j of this enterprising firm since is ! well known history of thrift and 1 progress The firm at that time was known as Kern. Bmtteon A Beeler, and remained so until about Oct. 1. when Mr. Brctteon retired, and since then the firm name has been known as Kern. Beeler A ; Co. The cause of the fire, which is unknown. is believed to have been spontaneous combustion, starting in some waste used in canng fen - the engine. The fire company did ex- ■ j ■ - -‘ . ins men a: be commended. The beautiful Allison A Studabaker block is to be rebuilt and at once I so say the owners. Major Robert B Allison, one of the owners, ar- ' rived home from Oden. Michigan at ".3 Monday mommg. drove to the acene and was surprised to see the BMR’Me wr-<k .. H-jw-vji y ->}; s it <>' onsneßß man be I simply said "It means much work ! and some expense" He and Mr. | Studa baker conferred together that morning and decided to begin work at once and to push the new block to rapid completion, having it ready for occupancy by October Ist if posTh- '4-j-'.k 1.- ' •>- rt-b-r.IT i the same material as before and will be just as handsome and oonvenlent. The details have of course not lieem arranged as this requires, time, but several days or a week at farthest will find workmen busy on the walls. The contract will be let just as soon as possible. Allison A Studabaker will of course receive their full insurance. which ;is less than half the actual cost of rebuilding. While the loss is a severe one it does not detain for an msjant such veteran business men as tbe'bwner. who realize that it is smply one of the chances taken on such a block Added to this cheering news which means much to the citizens of Decatur comes the assurance that Kern. Beeler A Company will again operate a monster departmnet store in the same location if terms can be arranged and they feel confident they can. It is probable a new lease on the block 4

While other heroes have been given their share of honorable mention we have neglected to speak of the gallant work of the two fireman at | the water works station. Harvey Rice and Tom Baker who though > not in view of the cheering crowd did more than any one else to combat with the flames. When the fire started Harvey Rice wa* on duty He realized the importance of keeping the pr>ssure and keeping the big tank full of water. The tank contained 240 ' barrels of water but with four stream- of hose playing on the fire this amount was rapidly cut down though the water was r>--ing pumped in as fast a- possible IJ.t.re' .- -WJ «♦. . 'Lb? j fast work to do this and both men | are to be praised for their work It is not always the greatest hero who runs over falling walls or climbs steep ladders, though each is entitled to his respective share of glory. Quite a crowd of Bluff ton . people were here Sunday viewing the scene of the disaster and hundreds of farmers and j<eople from nearly every town were here at ■the’same time S=-v-i-1 •;> the site were taken. In an v.with John E. Ksm. one of the members of the firm. Monday, that gentleman said, "I understand that Allison and Studabaker are going to rebuild, and I hope sincerely that they will do so. If our insurance is adjusted without trouble as we have every reason to believe it will., we will be ‘■’Johnny on the spot,"ready to try it again. While we feel very keenly to the loss, and realize we have lost the labors of five years in a few hours, we also realize that there is no use crying over spilled milk. We shall try to j regain what we have lost. ’’ This is' the right spirit and is sure to win. and it takes the right kind of nerve to make a statement of this kind after a man has stood and watched his life’s earn ings go up in smoke The firm will be better able, however, to make a pcentive statement after a few weeks time, within which period the insurance adjusters will have, no doubt, concluded i their work. On every hand can be heard words of sympathy and every stranger who has visited the city is awe stricken fly the scene. How- . ever, the smoke is clearing away and a more cheerful aspect already presents itself. 4 »

Texas. “I got temporary relief, but it came back xrain and again. and for six long years I La’ - suffered moremisery and agony than I can tell. It wa* worse than death My husband spent hundreds of dollars for pbvßiciaps , prescriptions anc treatment without avail. Finally w* moved to Bosque county, our present borne, and one day I happened to ; *-* an advertisement of Chamberlain s Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a test.monial of a man who had oeen cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try tne remeay. The result was wonderful I could hardly realize that I was well aga:n. or believe it could be s: after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me.’’ For sale by Holthouse Drug Co. j K it s loii- Stomach wh? no! tn the Waters at CamDidge samss.
