MONROE, Ind., July 17.—This town suffered another disastrous fire last night, the blaze being first discovered in the rear room of the grocery and. meat market owned by Clyde Graham. The citizens turned out as soon as the alarm was given, but before anything could be done, the entire building was a mass of flames. The fire soon spread to the dwelling of Mrs. Agnes Wagoner, adjoining, and that building was in flames, only the household goods being saved. Mrs. Wagoner owned both buildings, her dwelling beihg valued at S6OO and the store 'building at i s*4oo, with insurance on the two for $650. The loss of Mr, Graham is ; also about SIOOO, with S9OO insurance. The total loss is "$2,000, with [ $1550 ’insurance in the Graham & 1 Lower agency of this city. Th© origin of the fire is unknown.

Y OCCURRED AT LIMA, OHIO Assault was Uncalled for—Earl Was in Hospital a Week—ls at Home Now. Earl Hendricks, son of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Hendreks, who reside on Noth Seventh street, is confined to his home, slowly recovering from injuries received nearly a week ago at Lima, Ohio, at the hands of a ruffian. Earl left several weeks ago with a number of race horses and the first stand was made at Lima, Ohio. The first evening in Lima, Earl, in company with several other horsemen, left the fair ; grounds and went to the city, taking > a street car as it was several blocks . distance. When the party left the > car, and just as he stepped to the r ground, a big, burly man said sotne- [ thing, to Earl, which he could not understand and be turned half around ’ and asked the party what he had , said. This §0 enraged the man that ? he struck Earl in the back of the j head, knocking him down and ren- - dering him unconscious, and then 1 proceeded to kick • him , about the - shoulders and ribs. The men -who 1 were with Earl interfered and pulled 1 the man away and a policeman took t charge of him. An ambulance was r called and Earl was taken to the hos--3 pital, where his injuries were dress- - ed, and he was cared for. He re--1 mained in the hospital for a week and t on Saturday was dismissed and came - home. Upon arriving here, he suf--1 fared a relapse and was at once put 8 to bed at his parents ’ home and medical aid summoned.; He is feeling some improved and his physicians say that he will get along all right unless he is hurt inB ternally, and this they are unable to determine.’' “"The'boybody from his shoulders to his hips, is black ajid blue , and badly, bruised, and he has a bump on the; baijfciof his head, where it either came in contact with the ruffian’s fist or the brick pavement.' The man who struck Earl was arraign- " ed in the police court at Lima, but - refused to divulge his true name. He - plead guilty to the charge and was assessed a fine of twenty-five dollars and costs, which he promptly paid, 3 and was dismissed. Earl is unable 1 to tell the cause of tile assault, but r is inclined to . believe that the man f was mentally deranged or would not - have committed the act he did, as it ? was unwarranted. H expects to rel main at home until he. fully recovers, - and will then join the force at some - point in Pennsylvania, MR.

COLLEGE GLEE CLUB COMING Northwestern Club at Evangelical Church, August 6th. The Young People’s Society of the Evangelical church have arranged with the Glee Club of Northwestern College, for an entertainment to be given in our city on the evening of August 6. This musical organization is at present engaged in their summer tour of over sixty appointments in various cities in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and 'J Ohio. If press comments are an in- 1 dex to the class of music which they 1 render, and the acceptableness of the same on the part of the audiences, their success is secured. In every city and community the needs of good musical concerts is keenly felt, and especially those in which the human g voice largely predominates in song. It affords an opportunity to cultivate ' . | a better taste in music; it sets before "-1 the minds of young and old the possibilities of the voice in solo and in combination with other voices, encourages culture and better use of this most wonderful of all instruments —the human voice. The public . will be given an opportunity to enjoy a first class musical entertainment in the concert to be given by | this College Glee Club. A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES. 1 Itching.
