FIRE NUMBER THREE. ► - S A. Robbins' Barn and Contents Except One Horse Burn Up. An alarm of fire was sounded Friday . evening of hist week about 9 o’clock, t caused by the discovery of fire in the roof of ,8. A. Robbins’ barn. All of the upper part of the barn had burst 0 into flames before the fire tvas seen, s Mrs. Robbins who was in the house 5 reading, heard the horses jumping about in the barn, but thought little of ( this at first, but as the restless sounds r made by the horses continued to emal nate from the barn she became concerned and called Mr. Robbins, who had retired for the night. At this juncture the fire was seen from town and the cry of fire was heard by Mrs. Robbias. She then looked out and saw the whole roof of the barn on fire. It seemed to burst forth almost instantly. By this time the fire engine and a large number of people were on the scene to fight the fire. But it had gained too much bead way to save the barn. An effort was made to save both horses, but only one was rescued, and this one.was quite badly burned, though there is some prospect that the horse may by careful treatment yet be saved. James Shields, advance agent for the Emma Sardou Comedy company, which gave an entertainment in this place last Wednesday evening, rushed into the binning barn aud cut loose both horses, but one of the horses iu jumping about got fastened in the manger in some manner and could not be rescued. Mr. Shields was overcome by the heat aud as he came out of the door of the barn staggered and fell. He was picked up aud carried away from the barn aud wus restored in a short tine. Everything in the barn, except the one horse, was burned. There was considerable hay, four sets of harness aud a number of other thing” destroyed. How the fire originated is a complete mystery, but it is thought that tramps may have been in the barn and accidently set it it on fire, as they have been known to make that something of a resort after night. The barn being located on the outskirts of town and within convenient reach of the B. & O. railroad it makes quite an inviting lodging place for the “knights of the road .” This seems the most plausible theory of the origin of the fire. This was the cause, or else some oue set the barn on fire purposely, but it seems hardly credible that any one would be so inhuman as to do such a thing without first liberating the horses. The fire started iu the bay mow, as that part of the barn was the first to burn. There was an insurance on the barn and contents. This was the third fire within a week in Walkerton, and it is to be hoped that “the third time will be the charm” in this case. Some good fighting was done at all three fires, but without effective means to battle with fire the efforts of willing men are greatly handicapped and much good energy and ability thereby wasted. These fires have accentuated with special force the importance, yes, absolute necessity, of a good system of tire protection in Walkerton to protect the homes and property of our citizens. If it is found that we cannot meet the cost of water-works, then let us have cisterns and a good hand water engine with sufficient volume to meet the demands of such fires as are apt to occur iu Walkerton. fire no. 4. Later.—The above write up had not been all put in type until another alarm of lire rang through the streets of Walkerton. This lire, the fourth one, was discovered about 8 o’clock Wednesday morning. The lire started on the second floor of Mrs. Carrington’s building next to the B. & O. railroad. It originated undoubtedly from a defective chimney. The house was rapidly consumed in spite of all efforts of hard fighting. The adjoining l i, y Mvo. Cnrrington, soon took fire and baffled all efforts to extinguish it. Both buildings were in ashes within an hour after the lire started. Good work was done with the tire engine on surrounding buildings and also with ropes in tearing away smaller buildings adjoining the burning houses. Levi McDonald’s residence had a close call aud it was only by the hardest lighting that the building was saved. The building in which the fire started was occupied by Jonas Dipert as a lunch counter and residence. His i goods were insured for S4OO, but most ’ 1 of them were saved though several • I j things were damaged. Mr. Dipert settled with the insurance company H for S4O. His cook stove and a few L other articles were destroyed. The adjoining building was occu- • pied by the families of Lou Paul and Mr. Martine. The goods were all saved from this building. Mrs. Carrington suffers a total loss, as there was no insurance on either building. The loss is about $1,200.

Dr. Arlington is giving special attention to the treatment of chronic • diseases and owing to the great increase in his offlee practice has concluded to devote the entire Saturday of each week to his offlee patients. Hereafter he will not answer calls to the country on Saturday. It may save you time and money to be informed that, when you need a blood-purifier, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is the kind most in favor with the medical profession. It is the standard and, as such, the only blood purifier admitted at the Chicago World’s Fair. A True Saying. It lias been said that habitual constipation is the cause of fully one-half the diseases that flesh is heir to. Keep your bowels regulated by Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and your system will be in proper condition to keep off diseases of all kinds. Get a sample bottle (10 doses 10 cents) of J.

Raed, a highlyrespected Merchant of Mid- ’ dietown, 111., of a Young Man who was supposed to be in Consumption. “Ono of my customers, some © years ago, had a son who had all ® the symptoms of consumption, o The usual medicines afforded him o no relief, and he steadily failed o until he was unable to leave his ® bed. His mother applied tome © for some remedy and 1 recom- o mended Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. ® The young man took it according © to directions, and soon began to o improve until he became well © and strong.”—T. AI. Reed, Mid- ® dietown, 111. © “Some time ago, T caught a © severe cold, my throat and lungs o were badly inflamed, and I had a ° terrible cough. It was supposed ° that I was a victim of constimp- o tion, and my friends had little o hope of recovery. But I bought a © bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, © I took it, and was entirely cured, o | No doubt, it saved my life.”— o j 1. Jones, Emerts Cove, Tenn. I .
