The Residence Property of Clay Brothers Almost Totally Destroyed Friday Afternoon—Damage Covered fc-jr Insurance.

The frame residence property of Clay Brothers, 30 east Elm street, was almost totally destroyed by lire at near 1:45 o’clock Friday afternoon. The fire, which started from an unknown cause, but supposedly from a defective Hew, was discovered by James Black, who was near Lie house at the time. When first seen by Mr. Black the tire had just begun to break through the roof and smoke was pouring out form all sides. He immediately gave the alarm, and rushed into the house to warn those within. A young lady student was in the upper part of uenouse and was unconscious of the tire until told by Mr. Black. The upper half of the house was totally destroyed and the rest was ompletely water-soaked. Mr. Brothers, who is a railway mail clerk, was at home at the time of the fire and he with the assistance of neighbors succeeded in getting all the furniture out of the house. The firemen were greatly hampered in their work by a false wall in the north gable of the house where the fire started. They were unable to reach the rear of tne flames until this wall had been partly chopped and partly burned away. The house is insured by Ferd Lucas for $1,000, and the extent of the damage is estimated at between $600 and $800. The house will have to be rebuilt from the first floor up it was a story and a half frame structure. The residence of J. B. Hoover, which is the first house east of the Brothers property was slightly damaged by the heat. Ferd Lucas also carries the insurance on Mr. Hoover’s property. The fire was rung out near 4 o’clock. The high school directly across the street from the Brothers house was dismissed for the afternoon, as it was impossible to keep the pupils at work.

TRACTION FILESJREIGHT TARIFF By the introduction of a new despatch system the schedule of the freight cars of the different interurban lines of Indiana and Ohio have been so arranged as to make direct connection at junction points, assuring shippers prompt delivery of all through shipment. All lines have double freight service each way daily and today the merchants get an ex- ; press delivery at the usual steam toad freight rates. But a few years ago for a merchant to ship or receive freight from some great distance, by steam road especially, where one or more transfers were made, would take from three to four days, and more often he was compelled to wait a week to receive goods that he may now order and receive in one or two days. The through freight business on the traction roads has grown steadily and now is one of »ge great advantages of the popular interurban systems. Joint freight tariffs have been completed by the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company and have been tiled with the interstate commerce commission. These tariffs are now In the hands of the local agents and show the class freight rates from and to all points touched by traction lines In Indiana and Ohio.

HOW I CURED SWEENY AND FISTULA. “I want to tell you how I saved one of our horses that had a fistula. We had the horse doctor out and he said It iwas so bad that he did not think he could cure it, and did not come again. Then we tried Sloan’s Liniment and it cured it up nicely. “One day last spring I was plowing for a neighbor who had a horse with sweeny, and I told him about Sloan's Liniment and he bad me get a bottle for him. and it cured his horse all right, and he goes off nowlike a colt. .« "We had a horse that had sweeny awfully bad and we thought it was never going to be any good, but we I used Sloan's Liniment and it cured it up nicely. I told another neighbor about it and he said it was the best Liniment he ever used. “We are using Sloan's Sure Colic Cure and we think it is all right." A. D. Bruce, Aurelia, la.

Delinquent Tax Payers tile Subject of Another Letter to County Treasurer Walls Who Is Instructed to Proceed at Once to Collect.

STRENUOUS TIMES ARE AHEAD

The State Board of Tax Commissioners is growing more and more earnest in the prosecution of delinquent tax payers. Some time ago they sent out a letter, signed by Commissioner McArdle of Montgomery county urging the treasurers of the counties to collect the delinquent taxes. Friday another letter was received by Treasurer Walls, which states the case more in detail, and demands Immediate action. The letter follows; Treasurer of Putnam County, Greencastle, Indiana. Dear Sir: — The law makes It the duty of the State Board of Tax Commissioners “to see that all taxes due the State are collected” and to enforce penalties prescribed by any revenue law of the State for disobedience of its provision.” Upon investigation we find that there is a large amount of delinquent tax that can and should be collected. The law provides that after you have made deligent effort to collect the same, and have failed, you shall certify such facts to the Prosecuting Attorney who shall bring such action as is necessary and can attach property and garnishee wages. We must insist that you exhaust every provision of the law for the collection of the delinquent tax in your county. If taxes have to be collected by the Prosecuting Attorney, each person, in addition to paying the amount now due from them, will have to pay all Court costs and the prosecutor’s fee of ten dollars. FRED A. SIMS, Chairman. JOHN E. REED, Secretary. Accompaning the letter was a blank form of notice to be sent to those delinquent. If the money is not forthcoming in twenty days the law is to be set in motion.

It was the first trme the public had been invited to the hall and to say that the guests were happily surprised at the appearance of the new quarters, is putting it mildly.

Music by Henry Werneke, who played several trombone solos, music by a string trio, composed of Barton ahipley, Elmer Long and Henry Werneke, vocal solos by Henry Moore and songs by Charles Bridges, colored, helped make the evening more pleasant.
