About 10 =. ~. last Friday, our eitIzens

crowd quickly gathered. a breeze preTaiied.

were 50 20 100 feet distant. however, from any
others, and the wind not being very high, the
flames were confined 20 them. In an hour
they were . heap OF ashes.
The buildings destroyed were three In num-

They consisted Of Oue-story restaurant,

sleeping-rooms up stairs, furnished and oceIl-
pied by Mr.. Stone, Mr.. Culver, aud two male

Market street, the north side being near the

Mr.. Stone was among the first who reached
the spot, and he started up stairs for his room,
but was met and driven back by the flames.
One OF the lady students was Sick-A-bed with
fever and ague. She barely escaped. Several
parties who rushed up stairs to save some

was torn away to keep the IRE down o. much

The losses, a. near - can be sseertaIned,
were as follows: Mr.. Paisly, %100-uninsur-

A CASE IN PoIST.-A good friend OF ours
nom - township, was IN our ONCE the
other day making complaints about the re-
cent decision Of the people to give their stock
In our two railroads to secure another road
through the county. He said this thing OF
aiding 10 many railroads, was going to ruin
the country-especially the farmers. Well,
let us soc how It has ruined him, 30 far. He
has one OF the best farms in Lyon county.
Before the II. X. 4 7. was built, he put IL in
the hands OF an agent TO be sold 1t 81, 600.
Shortly after that road was built, he refused
eleven Thousand doIIdrs ia Sash for the same
farm. he has lately built . couple Of miles Of
plank fence. The lunher cost him S35 per
1000 feet. Before the railroads were built the
same lumber would have cost him 1t least
$5O per 900 feet. By the construction Of the
roads, he made money enough in this one item
OF fencing lumber, to pay his taxes for = num-
Der Of years. We advise our friend to hold
on. Money is scarce, but we will al come out
ahead yet.

The fire OF last Friday suggests three things.
Keep your money on deposit in any one OF our
excellent banks. Keep buildings and furni-
ture insured. And for the city to organize
aud equip IRE department. The latter on
an extended scale IL not practicable, and on .
costly scale IL not advisable. II an engine IL
purchased, let It be . steamer. A hAnd-sn-
gIne will cause more fires than all other
things together. AZ present, our water sup
ply is quite limited. A hook and ladder ap-
parAtus, the members also being provided
with firc eXtinguishers, would not be costly,
and we'll handled, would prove very service
able. We believe that II the IRE extingulaheT
belonging to the NEWS, and which Mr. An
drews took down to the fire, had arrived In
time, Mr. Hollis house would certainly have
been saved, and possibly Carter b Stones

occupied by the Emporia and Neosho Valley
Banks." Now, we should ike to know what

OF these institutions must be over-credulous II
they let the editor wander around ut random

HOMEOPATHY
FOR
DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
HUMPHREYS
VETERINARY SPECIFICS.

One of the great triumphs of Homeopathy is the
cure Of diseases Of DOMESTIC ANNALS. The
horse, the Gov, Sheep, Dog, and even Hog, are
cured of the several diseases TO which they are
subject, by the small doses of Homeopathy, with
a degree of certainty and rspidity that is ANA
ring. Some diseases incurabe by the ordinary
means are rapidly cured by this method, while
the ease with which the medicine may be given
and the rapidity of the cure is perfectly CHIT
full. No one who has witnessed the astounding
cures performed on Domestic animals by Hum
phrey's Veterinary Specifics would willingly
subject them to the bsIbarous tortures and the
lingering uncertainty Of tho old sy stem.
