A NEW DISCOVERY!
Spiritualism Explained

The question of questions
with thelearned and unlearned,
the materialist, scientist, re-
ligionists, and in fact every
b ody, is hat is Modern
piritualism?' Is it verify or
is it all a humbug? Can it be
explained from a physiological
standpoint and does it come
under the head of Physics, or
does it come from supernatural
causes and without laws or or
der. That the phenomena ex-
lists, is beyond dispute, whether
it will ever be explained re-
mains to be seen. That some
spirits can be seen, handled
,andmade use of to a good adj
vantage as well as explained is
also a fact to which all drug
gists and chemists can testify.
They need not be named, be-
cause their name is legion.
We refer principally to those
medicines through which spirits
figure largely as restorative
agencies. Saur's Drug and
Medicine Depot harbors a large
number of healing spirits which
can be purchased for a very
small sum of money and if used
according to directions will be
the means of relieving pain and
restoring the health of the af-
ficted. This same drug store
has many other things in which
it seeks to make itself useful
and to benefit mankind. The
book department furnishes the
provisions upon which hun
dreds OF brains are fed and are
thus kept alive and active. The
large stock of elegant patterns
of wall and window paper is
another medicine by which
many homes is made warm and
comfortable. Then, too, comes
the many different celored
paints which are not only a
great preservative agency, but
add to the beautiful as well,
tons of which is sold annually
and which gives employment to
thousands of people. This is a
branch of business In which this
house also figures largely. Saur's
Drug and Book store seems to
be the depot or store house IN
which everything is kept which
can be found in any drug and
book house, at prices which
everybody will acknowledge to
be very low.

Carroll, only a few months since. Through the aid of the telephone and district telegraph an alarm was quickly given and the hose companies were quite prompt in getting to the fire, considering the depth of snow through which they had to draw thelr carts, and with the assist arice of the hook and ladder company were soon playing on the burning building. The fire being Tn the upper story under Mansard. roof covered with slate 1t was quite difficult to be reached, and as the in- terior wood work was of yellow pine the fire gained headway quite rapidly for while, aud not until tie whole of that story was burned was the fire extlnguished. The lower floors, containing the valuable pin machinery, etc. were damaged to considerable extent by smoke and water. The loss on manufactured goods, of which quite a stock was on hand. is considerable The loss on the building is fully covered by insurance, held by eight differen, companies through sBeach & Hunts agency, and amounts to some $5, 0OO-Courant.
