sensation in her nose after she had retired
for the night, and all efforts to remove the
annoyance was without the desired effect,
the difficulty remaining for several days,

down into the throat, causing a choking
sensation. and finally disappeared. Inn

copious doses of brandy, which failed to

We have harped on this subject SO often

sort Of discouraged, but well try u
more tut before we bust the instrument
of q thousand strings. Ifa mar were order
ed TO find fifty towns in the State which
are well supplied with fire apparatus the
first town he would light down on would
be Somerset, Why our means for fighting
fire cannot be surpa sed anywhere and can
be equaled by very few places. Let us see.
Yes, every family in tow possesses at least
one water bucket then there are several
rain barrels, huge, monstrous rain barrels
that nee done duty as the half of an oil
barrel. We must not forget the ladder. Oh
no, it would not do to forget that, it weighs
about two hundred pounds and would
reach about half way TO a ducks back, this
is about all I; no, we have fearless hearts
and strong hands who do their duty nobly.
But isn't it time to cry. ''hold, enough"
Isn't this being penny wise that we MAJ
waken up some of these cold winter morn
ings to find ourselves pound foolish. In
heaven name if the borough is too impecu-
NOUS to furnish and sustain a fire compa-
ny let us make such arrangements as will
al least allow US to make use of our water
buckets. How would it do TO sink large
~cis;erns in different parts of the town In
order that the supply of water may not
grow short as it has on several occasions?
If the authorities are unable or unwilling
TO take the proper steps let our citizens
take hold OF the matter. In this not one
but all are interested.

DISASTROUS FIRE.-At three O'Clock
last Thursday morning the people OF our
usually quiet little town were rudely star
tied from their slumbers by the cry oil
fire. Notwithstanding the fact that by
far the largest part of the male population
of the burg had been up to the wee sma
hours ayant the twal. waiting GA election
returns the two previous nights. five min
utes after the alarm was sounded hundreds
of them were on the spot. The fire. was
first discovered in Prof. Shepperson's
barber shop from whence it was quickly
communicated to the adjoining buildings.
In less than an hours time the barber shop,
Hoover & Lichty's Grocery and ware
house, Cook & Beerits' Grocery and Feed
Store and Wike 6 Young's Meat Market
we're reduced TO ashes. The fire was COM
inundated from Cook & Beerits' Grocery
TO the Mammoth Block and in a few mo-
ments the northern end of the building
was in flames. Through the emu ex-
ertions of our citizen the fire was O
checked and confined to its original limits.
Hoover & Lichty and Cook & Beerits
each saved portions of their stock. Wike
& Young saved their entire stock.
Following is an estimate OF the losses
sustained;
Cook & Beeriis s., 0eO. Insured for
"a, 000.
Hoover & Lichty 81 200 and ali The
books ofthe firm. No insurance.
H. F. Schell $3.50. No insurance.

1t would be well If politicians, in

brought to realize the fact that peo-
pie who have no personal or pectilila-
ry interest in politics, who never held
an Office, never expect TO, and who
have no ambition IN that direction,
are sorely ashamed and grieved at
acts of official corruption. We no
t,ce that Il congressman asserted IN

A greater mistake was never made.
