SABBATH QUIET WAS RUDELY BROKEN IN UPON BY ALARM CALLING VALIANT FIRE­

MEN TO HOME OF J. M. LARAMORE, ON WEST MAIN

AN HOUR'S HARD STRUGGLE

Before Fames Were Conquered— Great Crowd Gathered, and Many Helped Remove Furniture The

Top Story Burned and Entire Interior Water-Soaked—Fire Caught in the Bath Room—Insured.

The shriek of the fire whistle at 12 o'clock Sunday rudely disturbed the usual Sabbath quiet, as it called the valiant firemen to the home of Dr. J. M. Laramore on West Main street, to fight a fire that had made considerable headway and which for an hour threatened to consume the entire building.

The fire was discovered by Mr. Laramore immediately upon returning home from church, and it seemed to have originated in the bath room, which is in the second story, and at the west side of the house. Although the firemen made a quick run to the scene, the flames were ready to burst but through almost the entire roof and the firemen had the hardest fight they have had in years to save the building. They were handicapped a part of the time by a lack of water pressure and the fact that their ladders were not long enough. The house is two and a half stories high and the roof very steep, with many gables. It was thought for a time that 110 part of the building could be saved and willing hands began to empty the house of its contents.

After nearly an hour's hard work the fire was under complete control, but not until almost all the upper part was burned away and every room was thoroughly watersoaked. The furniture had all been removed and it was not so badly! damaged as the house.

A great crowd of people, numbering several hundred, gathered at! the scene in a few minutes after the1 alarm sounded and watched the tire-j men in their desperate light against! the flames with the odds greatly' •against them at the star!. Although dressed for church, the firemen' "went at the work without a moment's hesitation, some of them not! even taking time to put on tin* rub-! her coats and their clothing was: thoroughly -water-soaked in a few! minutes. I

In their elTorfs to get at Ihe lire' in the top and center of the building, some of the firemen suffered some severe burns and cuts about the hands. When the fire was out! at 1 o'clock, the top of the house was a to I a 1 wreck and only the out-j side shell of the" first floor can be utilized in rebuilding. The firemen were favored in one way, as there was no wind blowing, and the house! of W. A. Service within a few feet of the burning building on the west.. was seemingly but slightly damaged.

Street car traffic was tied up for an hour, and many fancy Sunday dinners became cold was the incon-j venience to the public. Had the! fire burned fifteen minutes longer) before being discovered, it would! have been almost impossible to! save any part of the building.

This is the second had fire which has occurred at this corner, aceord-, ing to the older residents. The first was in 1877, when a double house, owned by the Rifle brothers, was entirely consumed.

Mr. Laramore had his house and goods fully insured against fire loss in the Home, of New York Company, Ora Myers agency. Mr. Laramore remarked this morning that he had just about as much home now as a rabbit.

Saved Many From Death. W. L. Mock, of Mock, Ark., believes he has saved many lives in his 25 years of experience in the drug business. "What I always like to do," he writes, "is to recommend Dr. King's New Discovery for weak, sore lungs, hard colds, hoarseness, obstinate coughs, la grippe, croup, asthma or other bronchial affection, for I feel sure that a number of my neighbors are alive and well today because they took my advice to use it. I honestly believe it's the best throat and lung medicine that's made." Easy to prove he's right Get a trial bottle free, or regular 50c or $1.00 bottle. Guaranteed by M. C. Quigley.

CHILDREN AT

Embarrassing to Children to Be Watelied While Eating Picture Show Precedes Feast.

If has come to the attention of the committee in charge of the Red Men's Thanksgiving Dinner that many children who wQuld otherwise partake of this annual dinner, do not do so because of the fact that 011 former occasions many visitors have been present during the noon hour. It is very embarrassing to many older people to be watched while eating, and especially so to the children. After due consideration it has been decided by the committee that at the dinner to be given by the Red Men next Thursday at the M. P. church, no one will be admitted to the dining room during the meal time except the children and the ladies having immediate charge of the dinner.

The children are asked to meet at the Red Men's hall at 9 o'clock, where they will be welcomed by the committee and a warm fire. Before going to dinner, the children will be taken to the Why Not Theater, where Manager Wm. R. White has arranged a special performance for their benefit.

The committee will endeavor to furnish a ticket to every child who desires to come, but should anyone be missed, we want you to come, whether you have a ticket or not.

By Order of Committee.

EASILY DECIDED.

This Question Should Be Answered Easily By Greenfield People. Which is wiser—to have confidence in the opinions of your fel-low-citizens, of people you know, or depend on statements made by utter strangers residing in far-away places? Read the following:

Mrs. Hettie Ellis, 120 Brandywine street, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I was subject to attacks of kidney trouble for a number of years and I also had symptoms of dropsy.~ I suffered intensely from pains in my back and shoulders and sometimes I was so weak that I could scarcely move about. I had dizzy spells and my feet and ankles were so badly swollen at times that I could not wear my shoes. My whole body bloated and the secretions from my kidney? were unnatural. Although I took medicine almost constantly, I continued to suffer and was at a loss (o know what, to do. One day I read a statement given by parties who had been cured of kidney complaint through the use of Doan's Kidney Pi lis. This induced me to procure a supply of this remedy at Quigiev's Drug Store and begin its use. I was benefited from the first and by the time had taken the contents of six boxes, the swelling and pain disappeared. Six months later I had another slight attack of kidney complaint, but Doan's Kidney Pills promptly gave relief. I keep this remedy on hand and I know that it has been the means of prolonging my life. There are no words strong enough to express my praise for Doan's Kidney Pills."

Chief Puts Ban 011 Dances. Chief of Police Pritchard, of Anderson, lias issued an order to the effect that no girls under 18 years of age will be permitted to attend the public dances in that city unless they have the written consent of their parents. Recently the police found that out of thirty girls at a public dance hall, ten of them were under 18 years of age. Formal notices have been served on the dance hall managers. The chief has also ordered that certain dances be discontinued, particularly the "Bunny Hug," the "Grizzly Bear" and the so-called moonlight waltz, with all the lights extinguished without regard to the moon.

Backachc, Headache, Nervousness and rheumatism, both in men and women, mean kidney trouble. Do not allow it to progress beyond the reach of medicine, but stop it promptly with Foley Kidney Pills.They regulate the action of the urinary organs. Tonic in action, quick in results. M. C. Quigley.

Selling Horses 25 Years. J. S. Lackey is now receiving consignments for his twenty-fifth annual sale, a longer time than that of any other sales manager in America. During that time Mr. Lackey has probably disposed of horses to the amount of $2,500,000— a record unsurpassed when the size of the town is taken into consideration. The consignments vary little in number each year despite the many sales that have come into action during the past quarter of a century.—Cambridge City Tribune.

PUT ROOSTER IN JAIL

Intoxicated Man Held On to Bird When Jail Doors Opened.

Although eye-witnesses say he w'as not to blame in the least, and that in fact he was completely helpless, having his legs securely tied, a fine looking rooster was landed in jail Sunday morning, together with his owner, Zulo Grigsby, who was wending his way down East Main street with the bird.

About 9 o'clock, when Mayor Ora Myers came down town, several people complained that an intoxicated man was taking up all the sidewalk on East Main street, as he met men, women and children on their way to Sunday school. The mayor went after him and found him in front of J. W. Cooper's home, carrying the bird, sometimes high in the air and sometimes dragging the ground. The mayor took charge of him and Grigsby held on to the chicken and in this way both landed in the lock-up, where Grigsby remained until Monday morning. The scene on Main and East streets was witnessed by scores of people wrho were on their way to Sunday school and church.

Prompt is the Word.

An exchange tells of a clergyman who received this note, asking him to perform a marriage ceremony: "This is to give you notice that I and Miss Jemima Arabella Brearly is coming to your church Saturday for operation of matrimony at your hands. Please be prompt, as the cab is hired by the hour."
