Between the hours Of 10 and IL Thurs.
day night the sharp cry OF fire startled the
early.to.bed portion Of our community, and
men half dressed pushed out only to see the
new court house in flames. In less than a
minute 20 or so buckets Of water were be.
ing passed by as many citizens into the
blazing element, and the fire which few
minutes later would have been beyond
control, was rendered harmless. The fire
was without donbt the work Of an incendi.
airy. One Of the offices in the lower story
contained large pile OF finishing lumber,
at one end Of which the fire was kindled.
4 trail OF scattered shavings leading near
the fire gave evidence Of the manner OF
k'neiling. A volunteer guard armed and
equipped occupied the building the remain.

slight relapse. Attacks of vomiting re-

Fruit Stains.

In the season of fruits, the napkins
used at table, and often the handker-
chiefs and other articles, will become
stained. Those who have access to a
good drugstore can procure a bottle
Cf Javelle water. If the stains are wet
with this before the articles are put in
to the wash, they will be completely
removed. Those who cannot get ia
velle water can make a solution OF
chloride of lime. Four ounces of the
chloride Of lime is to be put into a
quart of water, in a bottle, and after
thorough shaking allow the dregs to
settle. The clear liquid will remove
the stains as readily as Javelle water
but in using this, one precaution must
be observed. Be careful to thoroughly
rinse the article to which this solution
has been applied, in clear water before
bringing it in contact with soap. When
Javelle water is used, this precautior
is not necessary; but with the chloride
of lime liquid it is, or the articles vii
become very harsh and stiff.

TIE condition of affairs in what is
known as Egypt" in southern Illinois,
is exceedingly distressing. For an area
extending one hundred miles north
from Cairo, and from the Indiana state
line west to the Mississippi river. a rich
and fertile farming country has besn
literally deprived of many of its usual
products. The long drouth dried up
the fields and the streams. The wheat
was almost a total failure, and the corn
has failed to mature, the young plants
dying before being halfgrown. The
root crops are exceedingly meager
The pastures are dried up. The cattle
are suffering for want of food and wa,
ter. The unfortunate people are IN
sad plight, and many of them will soon
need help from outside to keep from
starvation. Already they are selling
off their last horses and cattle. and
have but little left. Never before has
Southern Illinois been affected as now
