A PROMINENT NEW YORK PHYSICIAN
"A lately complained to Dundas Dick & Co.

that sometimes they cured miraculously, but
that patient of his had taken them without

PURE OIL in the BEST AND CHEAPEST
form.
Dundas Dick & Co. use more Oil of Sandal
wood than all the wholesale and retail drug
gists and perfGmers in the United States COM

PURE OIL is sold cheaper in their Capsules
than in any other form.

Fire In East CotunsbiG-C reiDJ,tORs Mills
Burned TO the Gr0ttnd.

Fire In Last Iunt6tG-CreightOhes AiIls
Burned TO the Gro,.nd.
An alarm of fire from box 243 about
twenty minutes after nine last night
summoned the Fire Department to de-
structive confagration in East Colum-
bia. A second alarm was struck ten
minutes later tor second relay Of en-
gines. Robert Creighton's saw and
planning mills, situated between Main
and Mccullough streets, and the river
bank and Eastern avenue, were the
scene OF the fire, and were burnt entirely
to the ground. There were two frame
buildings, one two and half-story
frame, about fifty feet in height. and one
hundred and thirty feet long by fiity-tive
feet wide, used as a planning mill, sash,
door and blind factory, and box facto-
ry. The second was large one-story
frame of about the same dimensions, and
used as saw mill. The engine-room
was situated at the lower end, near the
river.
The fire was discovered in the root
Of the river end of the box factory, which
department had not been in use for
week or more, and had not been entered
by any one for several days. 1t is sup
posed that the fire is the work OF an in
cendiary.
The flames were bursting through the
shingles and had gained fearful head
way before the building was entered and
the alarm sounded. The nearest engine,
the Eighteens', about mile away, had,
on arriving, scarcely got water when the
hose burst, causing considerable de-
lay. The Elevens fought the fire bravely
but the efforts tof the firemen were of
comparatively little avail. The flames
had gotten beyond their control, and
could not even be checked when the
second relay Of engines arrived, and by
ten O'Clock nothing but smoking mass
OF mouldering ruins remained. The ad-
joining property was all saved.
Mr.. Creighton, who at the time of the
fire was sick in bed, estimates the value
of his mills, the machinery. destroyed,
and the furnished and unfurnishet stock
in the neighborhood OF $4,000. The
machinery, including two fire steam en-
gines of the newest pattern, entail loss
of about $4,000. The insurance on the
buildings and machinery amounts to
about $40, 900, of which the bulk is in for
eign companies, only some $4,000 being
in local companies; the Enterprise and
MARSHALL y Co.. each having $1,000.
There is little or no insurance on the
stock.
During busy times the mill employed
from forty-five to fifty hands, though
lately only twenty were engaged, and
are now thrown out of employment.
Mr.. Creighton will at once proceed to
rebuild his mill.
