THIS REPUBLICAN.

Temperance Column.

Pt'eparad by the ' Womens’ Chi iff tan Temperance Union of JSchfiselacr Ind., TbeW. C. T. y. on last Saturday Wt with Mrs. R. S. I)wiggins, a called meeting was appointed for Monday evening, at which a programme was adopted for a temperance entertainment, most of which is to be given by “The Band of Hope". The programme will appear in the next issue of The Republican. Owing to the funeral and the rain on last Sunday afternoon, the attendance at the Temperance School was small. A special effort is to be made to build up the school' and revive the interest in temperance work, and the loaders in this, very much desire the help q 1 all good people.

A temperance meeting. This is one of the blows that we quietly deal to fashion the sledge with its face of steel that battens the stone that grinds the ax that cuts the wood that feeds the fire that Old Nick built. , Temperance pledge. This the smith. v that works with a will 10 give the .blow that we quietly deal to fashion the sledge witty its face of steel that batters the stone that grinds the ax that cuts the wood that feeds the fire that Old Nick built. Sternal truth. This is the Spirit, so gentle and still, that nerves the smith to work with a will to g.ve force to the blows which we quietly deal to fashion the sledge with its face of steel that .batters the stone that grinds the ax That cuts the wood that feeds the fire that Old Nick built.— Selected. The Gospel Temperance Meeting at the Presbyterian church Sunday evening was a success. The sermon, by the Rev. B. F. Ferguson, -fras upon the subject of Temperance. He was assisted by Rovs. Dwiggins, Small and Webster. After the sermon Mr. Webster sang, in an impressive manner. the song entitled, “Where is my boy to-night"? Tbe Salmon Business Defined. „ It is a business which is opposed to svery clergyman in the country. It is a business which every merchant and business man hates and detests. It is a business which is the standing dread of every mother. It is a business which is the constant fear of every father. It is the business which is the horror . of every wife. It is a business which makes 90 per cent of the business of the criminal courts. . It is a business which makes 90 per cent of the pauperism for lax payers to support. It is a business which keeps employed an army of policemen in the cities. It is the business which puts out the fire on the hearth and condemns wives and children to hunger, cold and rags. It is the business which fosters vice for profit, and educates in wickedness fpr gain. Drunkenness comprises all ether Vices. It is the dictionary of vice, for —iT includea every vice.— Drunkenness means peculation, theft, robbery, arson, forgery, murder—for it leads to all these crimes —Cien'ral Methodist.

Some details on this head may hot be without general interest.

More About the Remington Fire.

The Indianapolis Journal and the Fowler Era stated the loss at the Rem* ington fire to have been $70,000, the report in the Chicago Times put it at about O- B. Mclntyre, at $6,000. Among such widely varying aecounts, it was difficult to get any very accurate account of the matter, and for that reason we republish entire, the Remington News’ account of theoccurence, presuming as.a matter of coarse that the News gives about, “the straight” of it: “About 11:30 last Monday night* the cry of tire, which is getting to be quite frequent and full of terror to an average Remingtouian, > rang out on the midnight air, and many citizens hastened forth to discover that George Stitz’s meat inarket and Chas. Wilson’s harness shop on South Railroad street opposite the depot, were ablaze. The flames spread eastward with amazing rapidity among the wooden bifildings and with red demon-like tOßgues speedily licked up all the buildings in that row, wh'ich consisted of seven business rooms. The depot was badly scorched and was only saved by th& most heroic work—the building was on fire several times but was promptly extinguished by the gallant bucket brigade. The aggregate losses figure Up about $8,500, with probably $3,000 insurance. The losses are distributed about as follows^.

Geo. Stitz, meat market building, fixtures, &c, $700; insurance $-100. Cha3. Wilson, harness stock and tools, $1,300; no insurance. Chas. llarlaeker, 2 rooms, $800; atbout s2^o’insurance. ——— McDougle, building, $2',000; no insurance. A. Beasley, damage to Photograph Gallery, $200; $l5O insurance; household goods were also damaged, A. H. Witman’s loss on jewelry stock l and household goods will probably exceed $-'00; pertly insured. G. B. Clark, P. O. building, $3 000; insurance $2,000. Treat Durand, building occupied by Mrs. Hoos’ millinery shop, $300; no insurance, The millinery? stock was saved from the flames, but was more or lfess damaged by moving. I. O. Q. J?\, Lodge loss about tbO, on furniture, &c. The P, O. contents, fixtures, &c., were safely removed, though, badly demoralized. Charles Wilson’s loss on Harness stock and fixtures, was mo3t complete; he barely having time to saye his trunk and a few horse blankets and collars. He had a large new stock, and his insurance had just expired. == rThe tire appears to have started- in the space between Stitz’s butcher Shop and Wilson’s harness shop and was undoubtedly the nefarious work of some heartless fire-bug. This is Rem ington’s thiyd serious visitation within the last 18 months and such disasters are becoming alarmingly prevalent. Our greatest need is certainly some apparatus with which to light the flames: that they have not been provided long since, seems to have been the result of gross carelessness. The post-office is temporarily established in the Hart House Sample room. Witman’s jewelry store will be located one door east of Green & Co.’s hardware store

Mrs. lloos’ millinery shop may be found upstairs over Brigg’s drug store. Messrs. Wilson and Beasley are yet undecided as to locations in town. We hope to see the burnt district speedily rebuilt, as it i,a fiords good locations for all kinds of business.

AYER’S -i ' ■ Cherry Pectoral. No other complaints are so insidious in their attackas those affecting the throatand lungs: none so trifled with by the majority of sufferers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious exposure, is often but the beginning of a fatal sickness. Ayer’s Cherry, Pectoral has well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight with tlifoat and lung diseases, and should be taken in all cases without delay. / A Terrible Cough Cured. f‘ In 1557 1 took a severe cold, which affected my luugs. I bad a terrible cough, and passed night after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. I tried Ayer’s Ciiekry Pecyoral, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for the recovery of my strength. By Abe continued use of the Pectoral a permanent cure was effected. I am now 62 years old, hale' anil hearty, and am satisfied your Cherry Pectoral saved me.
