DREADFUL CRY OF FIRE SOUNDED AT AN EARLY HOUR THIS MORNING. HreiiM n Property Des.myp.l I'ire Original in a Ititrn Eleven ll-al of llrfs Ihirned -1 ni piciit ISIaze in :i Drug store. From Wednesday's Daily. At 5 o'clock this morning the dread cry of fire was sounded in Bremen and the populace was rudely awakened to lind a destructive lire alreadywell under way. ILM. Garver's livery barn was a nias of hissing llames and was, when discovered, beyond any hope of saving. It is supposed that the lire started by a lantern which was left hanging in the barn about 4:10 this morning by a man named Johnson, who had charge of the barn and who left it to go to the hotel. The barn was discovered m llames at 5 o'clock by Albert Martin who found the whole interior burning like a seething furnace. The alarm was sounded but the llames were beyond control and the barn with its entire contents already doomed. HOK.sKs iu km:i. Kleven horses were burned to death and all the buggies, harness, feed and other contents of the barn went up in smoke with an uninsured loss of about otiiki: losses. Fire was communicated to the ollice of Dr. J. W. Church, which was destroved with its contents of drugs and surgical instruments at a loss of auout S?(J). So insurance. .Joseph Beagle's barn took lire several times hut Wds saved from destruction by hard work, so that Mr. Beagle's loss probably lies not exeeids slot) A wagon shop was also slightly damaged. Our advices state that no insurance was had on any of the property lost. ax i:ai:mi:i: him:. About h o'clock last night, a lamp, be ins lillcd in 0. F.

The Michigan City News surely places tue following in proper light bei ore the publishers of newspapers. It is a warning and should be heeded and followed by those who publish country journals at least. It U an underhanded trick certain advertising agencies o er the country have of asking a publisher to give ratet, on certain space, at the same time withholding lroin the publisher the line of business to be advertssed and the name of the firm desiring the advertising. The scheme is a iraud upon the advertiser desiring the space and a sneaking imposition upon the newspaper fraternity, and should in no case he tolerated by the latter. No news paper shoul 1 encourage such underhanded methods and the publisher should write to t he advertising agency, upon the back cd' such a proposition, ' give us the line of business to be advertised and the name or names ol the parties desiring to use the space and we will give you rates," or words to that effect. Unless the newspapers of the county stand more lirmlv agiinst shark advertising agencies, and nine out of every ten of them are the "shark" order, the agencies will, in time, virtually control the advertising columns of the press. Let the publishers stiffen their back bones a little, many of them need it badly, and turn the blull on some of the advertising agencies that assume to control their prices und dictate as to the manner of conducting the advertising business and make up of pa per. Do not let a little paltry advertisement weild so much influence over your columns and do so much toward demoralizing advertising rates. Decline it; throw it in the waste basket and do jour own business and the fraternity justice.

The supreme court yesterday again sustained the "blackboard law," requiring railroads to note upon a blackboard, at least twenty minutes before the schedule time of the arrival of passenger trains, the fact as to whether such trains are on time, and, if lute, how much.

I Tliir's I'oimkI in a Cave. Considerable excitement has been caused in Michigan City by the discovery of a secret cave for the hiding of stolen property and the apprehension of a gang of six boys, members of good families, who have been guilty of systematic robbery. The youthful thieves range in age from b to 111 years. The plunder recovered consis'ed of lap robes, whips, groceries and miscellaneous articles. U'liy 1 I l.ivi-.

There is not the slightest doubt that Alcohol and nicotine are the deadliest kind of posion.

When the meeting was called to order there were about 100 people present showing that the members of the Band were not far astray in their belief that the citizens of 1'lvmouth were in direct touch with them regarding this important movement. The meeting was addressed by a number of good speakers and the universal sentiment favored the pushing of the work to a successful finish. At this meeting a committee was appointed to draft a constitution, composed of the following members of the Band: Messrs. E. Brooke, Geo. II. Thayer, W. E. Reynolds, Rev. Landis and A. R. Zimmerman. It is expected that this committee will report at next Sunday's meeting, and at that time a permanent organization will be entered into. President Rothenberger. II. G. Thayer and A. 11. L'nderwood will attend the the State V. M. C. A. convention held at Terre Haute this week, and will no doubt have an interesting report to make next Sunday.

While we were fully aware of h;s fact, we did not dream how closely our actions as a state were scrutinized by others. But here conies a tale from the sucker state w herein the shrewdness of the wild animals that abound in our midst is commented upon. The following is from the Fekin, (Hl.i Times, and it being a democratic paper, the truthfulness of the story is assured. "John Davis, one of the largest cider linkers in lndiaua, killed thirteen coons one morning during the past week under very peculiar circumstances. Mr. Davis cider mill is built of wood and stands away from his house. lie was awakened during the night by 3 noise in the mill, and upon investigation found that thirteen coons were on the inside, drinking cider. lie fastened them in and locked the door and went to bed. When he got up the next morning he took a coon dog andseveral hands and begun the killing. He found the coons drunk and undergoing all stages of jags. The scene was a most peculiar one. They had rolled the barrels over, which had been left open to allow the eitler to work. They had then drank themselves full ot hard eitler. In a few minutes all had been dispatched and their skins werebrought to this city as substantial evidence." This coon yarn coming to us from old Illinois, must surely produce evidence enough, to fully satisfy o :r pen-
