THE REMEDY.-To escape the worthless
denominations offered under the title OF
Flavoring Extracts and Baking Powders,
rests wholly with the consumers, they are
the ones that have to suffer. Purchase
only those articles you know by expert
enae to be pure. Look upon cheap good,
as an evidence of their adulteration and
worthlessness, upon those that dealer;
complain of as being too high to keep fol-
sale as an argument in their favor; fol
good, pure goods cannot be sold as chear
as worthless ones, and afford less prof.
to manufacturer and dealer. DIR, Prices
True Flavoring Extracts and Cream Bak
ing Powder are acknowledged by chemists
to be the purest, and the only scientifically
prepared articles of their kind in the mar
ket, and are now used in million homes

Hills Block entireiy Destroyed.

About o'clock this morning the Dayen-
port fire bells sounded an alarm and it was
soon discovered that hills Block, on the
corner of Third and Brady streets, in that
city, was on fire. The wind was blowing a
perfect gale, and 10 short time the entire
block was in flames.
The Davenport fremen..saw they could
not control this FIRE, against the strong
wind, and SO sounded their alarm for as
sistance from this side of the river. Our
fremen promptly responded, and before 2
o'clock the Wide Awake Hose and Hook
and Ladder Co. with truck, and the
Phoenix, and the Hope Hose companies
were at the FIRE and had six streams play
ing, The Rescue and Neptune companies
were ordered to remain at home to protect
the city. When our companies arrived in
Davenport only two streams Of water were
playing on the FIRE. The Mt Ida Co, did
not arrive until after our fremen were at
work. This was probably owing to their
being unable to hear the bells, the wind
blowing from northerly direction.
The fire was got under control shortly
after 8 o'clock.
The block was occupied by stores and
Offices and the total loss is estimated a
between $4,000 and $4,000. Insurance
lsaid to be small
There was Centennial celebration il
Olympic Hall lin that block last evening
and the cause of the fire is attributed t.
this, some fire being used in the perform
ance.
