It was remembered by all that the destructive fire of nine years ago burned slowly at first and appeared to be under control until ail at once, when the whole church became a mass of flames.

The bell was rung loud and long.'- .. Priests Fight Fire. Fatehr Welland assisted the firemen In putting out the fire in the attic. In fact he was there before them. Father .

SHIVELEY BRINGS ACTIOHH COORT Sues Mecca Saloon for the Collection of an Old Whiskey Bill. MAY MAKE INVESTIGATION IT IS ALLEGED BY ATTORNEY THAT WET GOODS ARE PURCHASED AND SOLD BY MAN WITHOUT A LICENSE. Federal authorities will probably in vestigate the condition of afalrs at the Mecca saloon, 611 Main street, under the proprietorship of Killian Hart man, with William Corey, a barkeeper, as his assistant. If the federal au thorities do not act, it is then probable that the local authorities will take a hand, and as it is alleged by Ray K. Shiveley,, assistant prosecuting attorney, that Clarence W. Corey, the barkeeper, has been purchasing liquor and selling it, although he does not hold a license. Mr. Shiveley's attention was directed to the alleged violation when he talked with Corey yesterday pertaining to a liquor bill which The William Edwards Company, whiskey dealers of Cleveland, Ohio, wished him to collect. Suit was filed by him in the circuit court this morning for the whiskey firm against Killian Hartman and Clarence W. Corey on account for $215. The account has been running since April 5. Shiveley's Statement. Mr. Shiveley stated this morning that Corey told him yesterday he purhcased the liquor and sold it. The law provides that only the person who holds the license can . purchase liquor for retail purposes. In this case Hartman, being the proprietor of the saloon, should have purchased the liquor. The revenue authorities, if the case comes to their attention, will no doubt investigate. It is alleged that the saloon Is one owned by the Schlitz Brewing company.

A COMPLETE CURE IS ANTICIPATED BY HIM

For Past Three Months He Has Been Using Odd Cure And From the First He 0b tained Relief GreensforVIndV4ug. 2S. After using all kinfii of remedies of which he had hear' for rheumatista. John Y. Coddingam, a retired farrier living here, hjtf resorted to the experiment of allotting honey bees to stink himi - on tn$ affected parts of his body and Strang to say he is rapidly improving. flFor three years he has beedfeo crippled in his right knee with rheufnatisig that he could not bend It and had o move from place to place very sloway and with the aid of a cane. He has pow dispensed with his cane and can se his knee as well as any one. In'jjSpeaklng of his strange remedy to a friend, Mr. Coddington said that he ha read where bee stings would cure rheumatism. He had no faith In the treatment at first but driven to desperation with pain and suffering of three years, he was " willing to do almost anything. Going to the home of a friend, he asked him to loan a few honey bees. Of course, the friend was very much surprised and not a little doubtful about Mr. Coddington's mentality when he explained his purpose in asking the loan. Six Stings at First. The first experiment took place about three months ago. He allowed about six bees to sting him the first time on his right knee. In a day or so he repeated the experiment. Almost from the-irst he gained- relief -end has allowed as many as 40 or SO bees to sting him In one week. The rheumatism has not entirely disappeared. - However he Is -much relieved from his sufferings as the pain is ' not nearly so intense. At first it affected his hip slightly, then his foot and so oJO. He expressed his belief to friends that by the time the summer was over he would be a well man. Mr. Coddington is as much surprised at the success of his treatment as are his friends. He now walks as briskly as any man In the neighborhood of 05 years of age and goes all over the town, something that he did not do for several years prior to this summer. Mr. Coddington is in moderate circumstances. He was formerly a farmer near her. He Is well know all over the county. CONTRACT IS RELET Indianapolis Firm Will Build New St. Mary's Church. MAY END STONE DISPUTE The contract for the stone work on St. Mary's church and parish house. Eighth and North A streets, ahs been relet to Ittenbach & Co., of Indianapolis. Work will be started next week, it is believed by members of the church. The contract calls for the best Bedford stone and It will be supplied by the same company that Marion McLaughlin .. secured his . material from.. "f . . .. McLaughlin was awarded the contract for the stone work, but as the stone did not come up to specifications he was ordered by the architect la charge of the construction to either give up Ills contract or furnish a bet ter grade. McLaughlin . claimed the stone came up to specifications, but as the architect had condemned - it, he gave up his contract. The stone com pany on McLaughlin's bond entered suit. in the local ' courts 'against the church and in its complaint stated that the stone was according to specifications. However as the stone company Is to furnish the stone through the new contractor it is probable that their suit will be dismissed on motion of their counsel.

WANT MUTUAL AGREEMENT It Is stated by local tobacco dealers that a movement is on foot to either do away with the giving of checks on pool games altogether or charge two checks for a package of smoking to bacco instead of one as heretofore. As a result of the new tariff act there is a perceptible raise In the price of chewing and smoking tobac co and cigarettes. Dealers who are forced to pay a higher price declare that they cannot afford to sell, the article at the old price without a loss to themselves. The best way out of the difficulty it is said. Is to require the payment of two five cent checks for a nickel purchase and negotiations . are under way to establish this end among the retailers. The arrangement will not affect cl gars, candy, or chewing gum. While nothing has been done yet in regard to the matter it is probable that at any time a mutual agreement between the dealers of the city in this regard will be reached. - Professor John Cleland has retired from ' the chair of astronomy . of ' the Glasgow university, after occupying It for thirty-two years.
