ALARM FROM A DRUG STORE

Fire First Discovered From Zike's Store and Firemen Are Soon Doing Efficient Work. The

Building and Goods Fully Insured. .A Big Crowd.

One of the meanest fires to fight that the local company lias had to deal with for a long- time originated from the furance in the basement of the Lee G. Thayer building, occupied by Simon Koin with a grocery and dry goods store Monday evening about 7:30 o'clock.

The store was closed for the day and the alarm was sent in from /ike drug store, which adjoins the Spot Cash store on the west. M. C. Quiglev. Harry Meek, Mr. Reed and Albert White, who were in the drug store, smelled smoke, and upon yoing to tin.1 rear of the store found smoke pouring in around a steam pipe. Upon opening a rear door they located the lire in the furnace room of the ypnt Cash store, which is directly the rear of the drug store. They sent in an alarm quickly and the firemen were on till? .job a lew minutes with three lines, of hose, one in the rear alley, one irom the Main .street, hydrant and one from a hydrant north. 'J.lie Jurance room is sandwiched in between the basement to the grocery and dry goods departments and it was difficult to get at the lire, which had made considerable headway when the alarm was given. Smoke was pouring out of the front of the store from all the openings and had also gained access to the second lloor corridor and ollices and the adjoining building.

The fire was first fought from East .sireef., the big plate glass windows to the cloak department being broken out. The firemen worked their way as rapidly as possible to the basement, which, however, was filled with dense smoke, as a large pile of se\eral tons of coal was on fire. They soon had two lines of hose playing streams of water on the basement fin and in half an hour from the time the alarm was given, the fire was under complete control.

Practically everything in the cloak room was ruined by fire, smoke and water, and many of the fixtures were destroyed. The grocery contents were also greatly damaged by fire and water. The dry goods department on the south of the cloak room also suffered a great deal of fire, water and smoke damage, wiiile both basements were flooded with water several inches ideep and they were filled with smoke.

The building was also bacfly damaged, several large plate glass windows being broken and the floor to the cloak room being burned until ,it gave way in places and was ready to drop to the basement floor. The west end of the furnace room was burned out. This opens onto the alleyway and was watched closely, as it endangered several other buildings in that locality, being divided from the Qujgley building and the

H. B. Thayer building by partitions. The second story of the Lee C. Thayer building was damaged by smoke, which filled the hallways. Many of the men 'who have offices there were on hand to look after important papers and other possessions, if necessary. It was seen. however, that the firemen had complete control in a short time and no uneasiness was felt.

The fire occurring early in the evening attracted a great crowd of people from every part of the city, who watched the skillful and dangerous work of the firemen with interest as they entered the burning

building and hunted the fire to the smoke filled room and scorching basement.

Smoke was so dense everywhere that one could hardly breathe. When the doors to Zike's drug store were opened smoke rolled out in great clouds and also from the front of the Spot Cash store. The smell of smoke lingers about all the buildings yet, and will for some time.

The damage to all concerned is hard to estimate. Mr. Thayer estimates the damage to his building at $5,000 or more, and he is fully insured with Wood Bros, agency. Mr. Koin counts his stock practically a total loss and estimates his damage at from $18,000 to $20,000. He carried $21,600 insurance on stock and fixtures in D. B. Cooper & Son agency. H. H. Zike carried insurance on his stock of drugs and fixtures in the John Corcoran agency. The drug store is in the west room of the Lee C. Thayer building.

How to Prevent Bilious Attacks. "Coming events cast their shadows before." This is especially true of bilious attacks.. Your appetite will fail, you will feel dull and languid. If you are subject to bilious attacks take three of Chamberlain's Tablets as soon as these symptoms appear and the attack may be warded off. For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement.)

DID GROUND HOG SEE HIS SHADOW

Some Say He Did and Some Say Not. Any Way It May Turn Out to Be "Middling'' Fair.

Weather.

Did old Mr. Groundhog see his shadow? That is the question that seems to be in doubt. The sun was almost shining about 9 o'clock, but whether it was bright enough to cast a shadow? or not seems to be doubt. So one may rather expect "middling" fair weather rather than extremely good or bad.

Some think the legislature should take some action on groundhog day, fixing it for the first sunless day in February. A few years ago Harry Stri'.-kland, then Hancock county representative, tried to legislate against the groundhog and there is talk of petitioning our present representative. Robert F. Reeves, to give us some protection in this matter.

Colds and Croup in Children. Many people rely upon Chamberlain's Cough Remedy implicitly in cases of colds and croup, and it never disappoints them. Mrs. E. H. Thomas, Logansport, Tnd., writes: "1 have found Chamberlain Cough Remedy to be the best medicine for colds and croup 1 have ever used, and never tire of recommending it to my neighbors and friends. I have always given it to my children when suffering from croup, and it has never failed to give them prompt relief." For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement.)

Recognized Advantages. You will find that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has recognized advantages over most medicines in use for coughs and colds. It does not suppress a cough, but loosens and relieves it. It aids expectoration and opens the secretions, which enables the system to throw* oft a cold, ft counteracts any tendency of a cold to result in pneumonia. It contains no opium or other narcotic, and may be given to a child as confidently as to an adult. For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement.)

"The Best Laxative 1 Know Of." "I have sold Chamberlain's Tablets for several years. People who have uised them will take nothing else.
