rich are considered in dangerous condition
and will probably die. The fire was frat
discovered in the third story. Its origin
is mystery, but supposed incendiary. 1t
is suspected that something of an explo-
sive nature was placed between the floor
and ceiling in the third story for the pur-
pose of causing the destruction of the en-
tire block. The building was owned by
the Fairchild estate. Rowley & Co. ,furn-
ishing goods: G A Damon, tailor; Mcdonnell
& Smith, stationers; s. Klauber, clothier;
Thos Morgan, restaurant, were occupants
of the building. Their losses are princip-
ally from water and the removal of goods
and are fully covered by insurance.

little Rock, Ark. March 29.-On the
the night of Sunday last the town of Fay
etteville was entered by band of about
twenty armed men. Several proceeded on
foot to the southeast corner of the public
square where both barrels Of shotgun,
loaded with buckshot, we're discharged To-
to the window of the Sentinel Office. The
party then moved deliberately by the res
ldence of A. P.Farmer, Reuben Carter and
z: L, Summers, into all of which they fred
with shot-guns. The two parties joined
near Summers where they remounted and
gTalloped off on the West Fork road.
There is no doubt that the party was con-
posed OF the men who week or more be-
fore had threatened the town in revenge
for the death of the desperate Reed. who
was killed at the Jail.

alarm was Immediately given by means OF

their goods were removed in safety and no
one hurt. The school will go on without
interruption. The building is damaged
more from water than from fire. 1t is now
impossible to make close estimate, but
$4,000 will probably cover it. The fire
originated on the roof. A workm an, engaged
in repairing the roof, left bis soldering pot

CONSERVATIVES TAKE NOTICE

CONSUMPTIVES TAKE NOTICE
Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the iudicious
choice of a remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor OF DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Sy up, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all hat can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates Of many persons OF the highest
responsibility, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians of
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as those evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
| ployment of two other remedies which Dr.Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional RENE
dies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. BY the timely use of these medicines, ac-
cording to directions, DR.. Schenck certihes thai
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. schenck is professionally at his princlps
