 The tfirebugs were evidently on a picnic last night, for after giving the fire depart ment an exhilarating run to Cedar Hill and hardly giving them chance for a rest gave them more exercise in jaunt to Konold's distillery, and before the flames had subsided into smouldering mass at the latter place, they furnished more work for the weary fire men by setting fire to Calvary Baptist church Fire was discovered issuing from the chancel, which is in the rear of the church on the York street side, about ? o'clock, and an alarm struck from box 24, which is located at the corner of Chapel and High streets, brought the engines from the scene of the distillery fire as rapidly as horse flesh was able to travel Before the first engine had arrived the flames gained good headway and rapidly mounted to the roof of the chan eel, then running along the ceiling leaped to the front of the church and were quickly bursting from the front of the edifce on Chapel street. Lines of hose were laid on Chapel and York streets and the flames attacked from every available point One line was taken up through the front en- trance of the brick house adjoining the chancel on York street upon the roof, and from here the fremen were able to throw water directly into the burning mass. The hook and ladder men were set at work and began tearing off the burning roof as fast as possible.
 The fire soon became so hot that this work had to be abandoned and the fremen set to work to save the adjoining property, which they succeeded in doing The beautiful church edifce with it's fine organ however was doomed to destruction, and it became evident that it could not be saved. The walls and steeple, it was thought, would be saved. The church was erected at cost of $1O5, 900, and it is thought the property was well insured
 Some of the tenants of the Dickerman block, adjoining the church on York street, set about removing their household. effects This building was at one time in great danger of destruction. The block was occupied by MT. Eaton, Mrs. Laverty, Doctor Jewett and others.

Much of the distress and sickness attribu- ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhna and other causes is occasioned by humor in the stomach. Several cases, with all the charac- teristics of these complaints, have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Other cures effected by this medicine are so wonderful that the simplest statement of them affords the best proof that it combines rare curative agents and when once used secures the confidence of the people.
