Open Temple Meeting last Sunday
evening at the Congregational church
was we'll attended considering the
cold aud disagreable weather. The
W, G. T., Z J. Wood, opened the
meeting with a few brief remarks,
upon the encouraging signs fer tenn
perance reform, and after listning to
several beautiful anthems sung By
the choir, Rev. Norris addressed the
audience His words were timely and
we'll received. Tho ne spoke plainly
he spoke honestly, claiming one OF
the broad roads to intemperance in
its worst form, and all its consequent
evils, was the ''pest house at the Y
in Centralia. It seems high time for
respectable people to act, do somthing,
when crime is Haunted in their faces
in broad day, and to such a degree as
to force itself question for the pull
pit. The address was good and listen
ed to with attention.

The popular drug store Of John
Bauman, in Oshkosh, went up in the
flames on Friday last. His loss is
estimated at $4,000 and has $4,000
insurance. We regret that Otto
Schultz was unfortunate in being there
Just at that time. The SentineL'S spec
ial says: "This afternoon fire broke
out in the Beckwith House, Oshkosh,
and before the arrival of the fire de-
partment the flames made such head
way that it was impossible to save the
fine building, and attention was turn
ed to saving adjoining buildings The
assembled crowd was Mortified to see
in the fourth story window two ladies
to whom escape seemed impossible
save by jumping Mrs C. E. Harlow
wife of prominent citizen, jumped,
her fall being broken by robes and
blankets, and escaped without serious
injury. Mrs. Simon B. Paigt, wife
of a prominent, lumberman, with
whom Mrs. Harlow was visiting, fear
ed to jump, and was burned in the
building, her body being taken from
the room half an hour later By fremen,
who finally secured a ladder long
enough. 1t is feared that two or
three lives are lost; among them is a
servant and Negro porter, who are
missing. The latter is supposed to
have been asleep in his room. Mr.
Paigt, who was away from the scene,
arrived almost frantic, and offered
$4,000 to anybody to recover the
body eff his wife. The inmates of
the hotel, among them a number of
commercial travellers. lost largely.
Stocks in stores in the vicinity
were moved into the streets and the
loss will be large on that account
In two hours after the fire broke out,
the hotel was mass of ruins. 1t is
said Mrs Paigt often feared danger
by fire and a rope fire escape had
been placed in her room by her
husband, but was not thought Of by
the unfortunate lady in the critical
moment. She appeared at the win
dow and retreated in sight Of those
who cried for her to leap. The fire
is ascribed to the bursting of a
kerosene lamp under the main stair
way and in an instant after the
explosion the house was all filed with
dense smoke. The Beckwith was
one of the finest hotels in the north
west and the loss on building and
furniture is estimated at $50, 900.

On Saturday last, week, goodly
number Of Mr.. and Mrs Ira Purdy
neishbors and friends gathered at their
home to celebrate the twenty-ffth an
niversary of their welded life, Most
of the invited were elderly people but
they made it lively just the same, en-
joying the evening very pleasantly.
The host and hostess spared no pains
to make each guest feel at home and
agreeable. Quite a number of gifts
were presented.

We took no half ticket, we don :

uncles, our cousins and our aunts, and
duplex grandfatheTs and mothers, and

than eight hours, probably because we
ate the whole ticket. Every raisin
was either an air pillow, life preser-

The crust was the light of the trip,
and so short. that we abbreviated our
trip at least two weeks. The first
intimation we received that our
''splendid time was all in our over

The Marshfeld Time says: The
new office and bank building of G. NJ
Upham & Bro. is rapidly nearing COM
pletion. When fairly under way this
will be an important enterprise and a
want supplied.-Fred Upham, the
source from whence eminated the most
sound republican sentiments during
the campaign, is somewhat indisposed.
Sore throat is the principal difficulty.
Mr. Warren Cady and lady have
eur thanks for choice ham presented
US this week. We feel unworthy the
many favors that are being heaped
upon US by our friends, with the en-
enlargement and support we have re-
ceived at the hands of our patrons
We hope soon to be able to reciprocate
at least in measure.

A royal good time was enjoyed. every

quality. The gifts were very nice
We acknowledge samples of cakes,
which we pronounce splendid. These

The Fire Fiend F.!

L IIC L llO L ICIlu
It .S,ceeps Henry Belanger's and the
old Worthington block of the face
of mother earth.-4bout ten thous
and dollars north of property con-
sumed.
About half past six O'Clock Tuesday
evening, the fire bell rang and we soon
learned the fire was in Henry Belang-
ers grocery store. The flames and
smoke belched forth through the roof
near the chimney. Willing hands
made short work of taking out the
stock of goods. The fire enigma was
soon playing on the fire as also the
Centralia Babcock Extinguisher. But
everything done seemed to avail moth
ing. Music Hall caught fire next and
two streams of water were kept pour
ing on and still the fire kept up its
march of destruction. The building
being apparently doomed to burn Mr..
SLIDER began removing his large stock
of clothing, trunks, etc, which was
accomplished in about twenty minutes.
Gradually the building passed into
smoke and assembled heavenward. It
made beautiful sight to look upon
but sad thought to think about. our
city losing the three story building.
By hard work with the engine and
men and pals, the building occupied
by Wm. FeIten as a tin shop, and the
one owned by J. D. LaBreche, and
used as a barber and shoe shop were
saved. R. W. Lyons wagon and
blacksmith shop was miraculously
saved though one side charred almost
through. NJ. G. Warren removed
his entire stock of furniture into the
street but his buildings were also saved
by the work of the engine. A portion
of the time the engine would not work
but one stream and some of our citi
zens Immediately censured the engin,
eer, Mr.. Riggs, without knowing what
caused the trouble. First place, Mr.

ELI PERKINS.

J. X. Appiebec, late of London.
England, will deliver a lecture in this
city on the night Of the 1Gth. His
subject will be ''Our Boys. How they
may become Good and Noble men"
Mr.. Applebee comes to us highly
recommended by the press generally.
We clip the following from the Duly
Journal, of Battle Greek, Mich:
Those of our citizens who were
absent from the lecture of Mr.. James
K. Applebce on Dickens, last evening,
missed a rare mental entertainment.
Indeed, we doubt whether there has
ever been an occasion in our city. when
the intellectual discrimination Of the
critic and the finished art of the actor
have been so pleasingly and perfectly
combined, as in the deIinea:ion which
he gave Of the writings and character
Of the great English novelist. The
discussion Of Mr. Dickens works from
a literary point of view would of itself
have made the lecture remarkably in
structive and entertaining; but the
presentations of the noted creations of
his genius gave the rendering dra-
matte attractiveness and clothed the
creations themselves with such
realness as to cause the listner to almost
feel that he had actually been spending
the evening with the noted parsonages
that people Mr.. Dichcns's volumes.
Mr.. Applebee has a manly and
vigorous style, both of thought and
expression, his language being marked
with great clearness and precision and
his voice being full and pleasant at
ordinary, and possessed Of peculiar
power in the dramatic dellneations.
As lecturer, Mr.. Applebcc is certain
Iy entitled to the very great reputation
which he has secured both in England
and in our own COuntrv

A dispatch from Dublin says: Boy
cotting is now also used to compel
unwilling persons to join the land
league and to subscribe money thereto.
A Dublin gentleman who has few
acres of land on the borders Of the
country has received letter warning
him that he must join the league before
Saturday or take the consequences.
The most recent development in Boy
cotting is in country towns where
8hopkeepers and even padaIers are
required to produce tickets showing
that they are members Of the league,
or they will not be allowed to buy or
sell. Even Orangemen, in some places,
are obliged to join the league rather
than lose thier business, property or
lives The organization becomes more
perfect in it's minute details. The ac-
emulation Of arms in the country is
regarded with much apprehension.
One house here supplies 30 rcvolvers
weekly to different parts Of the county.
