DANGEROUS FIRE ON SQUARE

<'oiitlugnitioii Started in J. II. Hiimilton'H Hardware Store Karly Sunday Morning CatiM-s Big Srar*-— Cigar Si itli Dropped in Spittoon Tin- Origin.

BLAZE SCORCHES OIL BARRELS

A disaster, which might easily have equalled the burning down of the larger part of Greencastle many years ago, was narrowly averted early Sunday morning by the timely discovery and the prompt attention given by the firemen to the little blaze which broke out in J. H. Hamilton's hardware store on the northwest corner of the square. As it is the little conflagration caused comparatively little damage, but had it remained undiscovered another half hour, the west side of the square and probably the western part of town would have been doomed. The cause of the (Ire was the dropping of a lighted cigar in a box, filled with saw-dust, which took the place of a spittoon. N’ight Officer Williamson’s suspicions were aroused when he passed the store on his regular round at about 2:30 Sunday morning, and he spent some time trying to see the cause of a dim glow, which filled the rear part of the store but, finally deciding that it was from the open door of the stove, he passed on to the restaurant. About fifteen minutes later, a little boy came running into the restaurant saying that he thought there was a fire in Hamilton’s store. Williamson then went back and upon seeing smoke issuing from the sidewalk, gratings, he turned in an alarm. The firemen gained entrance into the store by forcing open the front door. Two lines of hose were laid, one in the front and the other in the back, but for some time little progress could he made as the fire Itself could not be located. When the men finally worked their way back to the office, they discovered that in some way the box filled with sawdust, which was used as a spittoon, had been lighted and that it had burned its way through the floor and had fallen on a pile of wheel-bar-rows and other combustible material in the cellar. The fire was one of the hottest that has occurred in Greencastle for some time and the fire-fighters were further handicapped by the fact that for some time they had to fight the blaze in the cellar through the hole in the floor, as the cellar door was not forced open until later. Had the firemen been a half hour later, tlie fire undoubtedly would have reached two barrels of oil. The loss caused by the fire, It is stated, is fully covered by insurance. Badger Williamson, the owner of the building, receives the smallest loss, as the damage done to the floor is all that was caused and it was settled in full by the company in which the building was insured. The damage to the stock has been harder to estimate, as considerable was burned beside that which is considerably damaged by water. The stock was insured by the Glenn Falls and the Ohio Farmer Companies. The joke of the evening is on the firemen, who spent some time in trying to drown out the electric light in the hack end of the store. The light was so placed that the men could see only the glow and as there was much smoke in that part of the store the firemen naturally started both lines of hose for that place with the result that they soak<“d all of the : took near there before they discovered their mistake. The fire gave the company their first chance to use the new box which was put in at the request of the business men, who have their stores located near the square. Instead of ringing 321 as would have been done not long ago, the bell gave out the 24 alarm which notified anyone interested, that tlie fire was in a business house on or near tlie square. As i result a large number of business men appeared on the scene, having hastily gotten out of bed and rushed down town to see if their buildings were in any danger.

WRECKS TO BE PREVENTED

T. K. Freeman, Engineer of Greencastle Water Works, is Patenting \ Device Which He Claims Will Revolutionize Kailroad History.

IS OPERATED BY ELECTRICITY

Greencastle is soon to come into prominence again and this time new publicity will he from a new source. T. It. Freeman, the engineer for the Greencastle Water Works, has just completed a new invention, to be used by railroads, which will do away with danger and sometimes horrible results of head-on, rear-end and side-swipe collisions.. The mechanical device lias required more than fifteen years of the Inventor’s time. After devoting all of his spare time of tlie prime of his life, Freeman has completed the device which, he claims, will revolutionize the history of the railroads. This is a version of a well known story, but Mr. Freeman states that his plan has been tested and that it has been examined and recommended by some of the leading railroad men of the country. As the device has not yet been patented, the engineer plans to apply for a patent this spring, the details of the instruments are kept well guarded, only a few of Mr. Freeman’s friends being allowed to see the drawings of the future life saver, but it is stated that electrical devices, according to his plan, are to be placed on all engines and that these devices will automatically stop the train upon its entrant* into a block which is already occupied by another train. Mr. Freeman's many friends wisli him every possible success with his new invention and offer him their earnest hopes that his life's work on this device, will soon become one of the new successful inventions of the country.

BE DEMOCRATIC IN 1912

Wiilium Jennings Bryan Made a Speech at Tampa, Florida, on Thursday, in Which He Declared That There is a Growing Sentiment Favorable to Democracy.

ARISTOCRATIC GOVERNMENT BAD

From Tampa, Florida, under date of February 4, 1909, comes news as follows: Speaking to an immense throng of people from the grand stand at the race track tills afternoon, W. J. Bryan said he brought to the Democrats of the South a message of good cheer, that there is a steadily increasing sentiment that makes for '.lie growth of the Democratic party In the United States. Ho commented upon world-wide spread of Democracy as one of the “signs of tlie Umes,” when the masses would demand their rights of the aristocratic elars, which is now using every end to bold its own against such a growth. He commented upon the usurpation of power by the “aristocratic party,” the present administration, the head of which he referred to as delegating to himself all the authority of a czar in the manipulation of his high office. But a change is surely, if slowly coining, he declared, and added that prospects were brighter than ever for Democratic victory in 1912.

Making Good.

There is no way of making Uistlng friends like "Making Good;” and Doctor Pierce’* medicines well exemplify tins, and their friends, after more than two decades of popularity, are numbered bv the hundreds of thousands. They have "made good" and they have not made drunkards. A good, honest, square-deal medicine of known composition is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Atedical Discovery. It still enjoys an immense sale, while most of the preparations that have come into prominence in tlie earlier period of Us popularity have "gone by the board ” and are never more heard of. There mu-t be some reason for this long-time popularity and that is to be found In its superior merits. When once given a fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections, its superior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence It lias survived and grown in popular favor, while scores of les- meritorious articles have suddenly (lashed Into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten. For a torpid liver with its attendant Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per- I haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite. ] with distress after eating, nervousness and debility, nothing is so good as Dr. 1 Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It’s i an honest, square-deal medicine with all ! its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper — no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug, therefore don’t accent a sulmtltute that i the dealer may possibly make a little t ig- j ger profit. Insist on ycur right to have what you call for. Don’t buy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription expecting it to prove a "cure-all." It is only advised for woman’s special ailments. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. Less advertised than some preparations sold for like purposes, its sterling curative virtues still maintain Its position in the front ranks, where it stood oyer two decades ago. As an invigorating tonic and strengthening nervine it is unequaled. It won’t satisfv those who want "booze,’’ for there is not a Prop of alcohol in it.. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, the orielnal. Little Liver Pills, although the lir-t pill of their kind In tlie market, still lend, and when once tried are ever afterwards in favor. Easy to take as candy—one to tnr<M! a dose.
