ABOUT three p. m, last Wednesday

Mr.. G, Auperlee. who resides about
four miles southwest from this city, was
discovered to be on fire. The first init

Mrs. Auperlee. At the time there was
no one about the premises but Mr.. and
Mrs. Auperlee The former at once
rushed out to the building, but on open
ing the doors found the interior in
flames. He went to work trying to get
out the machinery that was stored in
side and to save some of the hay and
other contents, While doing this Mr..
Auperlee was severely burned on the
hands. arms and side. The flames were
noticed by ncighborS and by son who
was working on another part of the
farm and by great exertion on their
part the granaries and outbuildings
were saved Medical assistance was
quickly summoned for Mr.. AuperIee
whose wounds were found TO be severe
but not necessarily dangerous. The
day being very pleasant one the stock,
generally confined in the basement Of
the barn, including two line hlooded
horses. had been tursed out. and We're
thus saved. The building was insured

QUITE a radical change has been eff
fected during the past week in the old
established house of Nathan, Schreiner
& Go. The firm which has hitherto ex-
isted under the above name has been
dissolved by mutual consent, the num-
erous lines in which they have been en-
gagged made this move desirable Under
the new arrangement of affairs. Mr..
John Schrener, whose name will here
after be given to the house. Takes the
store with the dry goods, boots and
shoes and general departments. while
Mr.. Joe Nathan will devote his time to
stock and produce. The changeis more
internal than external the clerical force
remaining the same Us under the old
firm. Under the new regime the same
prompt attendance to the wants of Gus
toners and unvarying politeness, which
has made this favorite trading point
in times past, will continue to be the
rule. Mr.. Schreiner's name being a
guarantee that nothing will be left I'M
done to secure and hold rapidly in
creasing trade. The new advertisement
of the firm will appear next week, look
out for it.
