FIRE HI FACTORY
CAUGHT FROM PASSING TRAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND CONSUMED THE OFFICE
AND CONTENTS.
THE SHEDS WERE ALL SAYED
By Hard Work All Night—Ed Pierson, Watchman, Loses Clothing —Fight to Keep Fire Out of .. Townsend Glass Factory —Spreads Quickly.
The office building, with its contents belonging to Dr. S. S. Boots and Charles Barr, east of the city, was burned Saturday afternoon by a fire which originated from a passing Pennsylvania train.
The fire, which had been burning in the blue grass along the railroad right of way, gradually ate its way into a leld adjoining the factory and burned alongside the fence and crossed the strip of ground between the fence and rear of the office building.
The alarm was not given until the roof of the office was almost ready to fall in, as hands who were working for Mr. Townsend, thought it was burning only on the right of way. With hard work the sheds aijd racks were saved, but the office with its desks and furniture, and all the correspondence of the company were destroyed. Also one end of the small engine house adjoining the office.
When Mr. Barr and his hand came home late at night they remained at the factory until Sunday morning fighting the fire, as it attacked the sheds and racks which are dry as tinder, and being of pine, caught easily.
They have placed no estimate on the damage as yet, but it will be considerable.
Mr. Pierson, the watchman, lost about $25 worth of clothing and other belongings that he kept in the office. The hands employed by Mr. Townsend had a fight with the lire to keep it out of the gla§g factory, as it burns rapidly and stealthily along the fences in the dry grass and in the stubble of the fields.

BISHOP WM. QUAYLE'S NOVEL REFUGE PLAN.
Accompanying a picture of Bishop William A. Quayle, a story was published in the Indianapolis Star Tuesday concerning the novel plan of the bishop of establishing an open-air "spiritual" hospital in or near Chicago for men and women who find it difficult to lead Christian lives, because of the many and varied temptations that beset them in the complex city life.
The proposition will be considered at the fifty-second annual camp meeting of tfhe Chicago Methodists, which opens next Wednesday at Desplaines, 111. Bishop Quayle lectured here a few weeks ago and was formerly an Indiana pastor.
Hay Fever and Summer Colds Must be relieved quickly and Foley's Honey and Tar Compound will do it. E. M. Stewart, 1034 Wolfram St., Chicago, writes: "I have been greatly troubled during the hot summer months with Hay Fever, and find that by using Foley's Honey and Tar Compound I get great relief." Many others who suffer similarly will be glad to benefit by Mr. Stewart's experience. M. C. Quigley.

UNDERTAKERS THERE BUI WASN'T
Muriel Glascock Victim of Peculiar Accident That Could Have Been Serious.
Muriel Glascock had a very peculiar accident Sunday, and he was lucky that it did not end seriously. He had attached his bicycle to the motorcycle of Charles Jackson and they were skimming over the Morristown pike just south of town, and were just coming near to the Brandywine bridge, when the handle bars of his wheel broke, throwing him down a high embankment. His bicycle lit on the fence.
Oak Morrison, who was in that neighborhood on professional business, happened along about this time, but it was soon found that his services were not needed in a professional way, as Muriel escaped without serious injury.
HELPFUL WORDS
From a Greenfield Citizen.
Is your back lame and painful? Does it ache especially after exertion?
Is there a soreness in the kidney region? These synjploms indicate weak kidneys:
There is danger in delay. Weak kidneys fast get weaker. Give your trouble prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills act quickly. They strengthen weak kidneys. Read this Greenfield testimony: Elijah Hunt, 523 Broadway, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I never had occasion to take Doan's Kidney Pills personally, but I know them to be a remedy of merit. They have been used in my family for backache, and a weakness of the kidneys, and have lived up to all the claims made for them. They cured a member of my family about six years ago, and as there have been no symptoms of kidney complint since then, we look upon the cure as a permanent one."

Remember the name Doan's— and take no other. 4
MACHINE WASHES 18,000 DISHES PER HOUR
The never-ending washing of the dishes is probably the greatest bugaboo of housekeeping. Likewise, it is one of the greatest troubles of the steward of the large hotels. It is necessary to wash them thoroughly as well as quickly, for guests will not tolerate dishes that are not spotless. Louis Haustetter, the steward of the Hotel La Salle, in Chicago, having wrestled with the dishwashing problem for years, has devised a machine which can wash and dry over 18,000 dishes an hour when operated by two men at full capacity. The machine is described with illustrations in the August number of Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Kidney Diseases Are Curable under certain conditions. The right medicine must be taken before the disease has progressed too far. Mr. Perry A. Pitman, Dale, Tex., says: "I was down in bed four months with kidney and bladder trouble and gall stones. One bottle of Foley's Kidney Remedy cured me well and sound." Ask for it. M. C. Quigley. I
QUICK TRIP IS MADE TO SAVE A CHILD'S LIFE.
The little child of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Lusc, of Brandywine township, was brought to Dr. Bruner's residence Sunday for an operation that may save its life. It wag found Sunday that the operation would have to be performed at once, and Morrison's ambulance was telephoned for. Mr. Morrison drove the auto ambulance to the Luse home, about ten miles or more, and brought the child and six grown persons to the Bruner home, where the child was prepared and operated on at once. In about two and a half hours from the time the ambulance was telephoned for, the operation was completed and the child put back to bed at the Bruner home.

ORDERED LOCAL PUBUCATION
Two Unusual Circumstances Uncovered By Eli Hagan While in Tipton County in Interest of
Goble Printing Company Here, Last Week.
While representing the Goble Printing Company, of this city, in Tipton county last week, Eli Hagan uncovered two unusual circumstances, which go to show more fully that Hancock county is well represented and represented well, even in some of the most distant states.
Mr. Hagan went to see Philander Scudder, trustee of Wildcat township, Tipton county, about school supplies. Mr. Scudder is a brother of Mr. Tilghman Scudder, formerly trustee of Brandywine township, this county. While there another brother of Mr. Scudder, Mr. B. F. Scudder, of Tempe, Arizona, arrived, and Mr. Hagan soon learned that he was a school superintendent in Mari Copa county, Arizona, and he ordered the Home and School Visitor sent to his schools.
In the talk concerning the three Scudder brothers who have been in the school work, in practically the same capacity, the superintendent, in the Arizona schools, being about the same as trustee here, Mr. Scudder related a fact that we have no reason to be ashamed of. At a recent meeting of three school superintendents of his county he said the conversation developed the fact that they were all Hancock county, Indiana, products. One had been reared at Charlottesville, one in Blue river township, and Mr. Scudder in Brandywine township. While they had all been associated together there in the school work, they did not discover that all were from this county until one of them incidentally spoke of his old Hancock county home.
Escaped With His Life. "Twenty-one years ago I faced an awful death," writes H. B. Martin, Port Harrelson, S. C. "Doctors said I had consumption and the dreadful cough I had looked like it, sure enough. I tried everything I could hear of for my cough, and was under the treatment of the best doctor in Georgetown, S. C., for a year, but could get no relief. A friend advised me to try Dr. King's New Discovery. I did so, and was completely cured. I feel that I owe my life to this great throat and lung cure." It's positively guaranteed for coughs, colds and all bronchial affections. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free at M. C. Quigley's Drug Store.
A FORMER OFFICIAL HAS MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED
Ex-Treasurer of Rushville and Also Trustee Has Not Been Seen For Two Months.
Rushville Republican. T. E. Gregg, former city treasurer and township trustee, has been strangely missing from his old haunts in this city for two months, and his friends are unable to account for his continued absence. He was last seen by some of his acquaintances in Indianapolis the middle of May, and since that time no word has been received from him.
His friends scout the foul play theory and believe he has gone on a jaunt and will soon return. They cite the fact that Mr. Gregg suddenly disappeared once before in his life, and no word as received from him for a few years. As suddenly he appeared again, as it is expected, he will do this time.

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes. President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drug law in its relation to Prepared Medicines, does not refer to such standard medicines as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully compounded of ingredients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical profession itself as the best known. remedial agents for the diseases they are intended to counteract. For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Compound has been a standard remedy for coughs, colds, and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for children and for grown persons, and it retains today its pre-eminence above all other preparations of its kind. Foley Kidney Pills are equally effective and meritorious. M. C. Quigley.

He has added to his sorghum business that of cider making for the reason that a great many people want to save their apples in some form or other, for the reason that an apple crop is not an every-year occurrence. That being the case, they want to make up any surplus they may have in cider. Mr. Hamilton has prepared his plant to take care of them in the best of shape.
