Killers, or Headache LOZengeS are meet
ing with an unprecedented sales, and sue
cess, considering the short time they have
been before the public. They are put up

and headache, they are bound to take q
high place in the medical profession
We know what we are talking about,
because We have tried them ourselves.
A barn belonging to John w. Savage
was burned Sunday night, between nine
and ten o'clock. The family were all in
bed when the fire was discovered, and
although it was already breaking through
the roof, through the efforts of those
who assembled, numbering not over fifty
persons, the other buildings were saved
1t is supposed that the fire was set by
lightning some two hours before it was
discovered, the theory being that il
struck outside and run under the barn,
where it caught in the damp chat, and
smouldcred until it caught some dry
substance. The loss is estimated about
$500; insured in the Coos Mutual fol
$500.
