Cook, Tin Jail in his person. What may be
done to him may be done do us. The question
is: Shall evangelical Christendom in the United

not know what effect red tape may have upon
Mr.. Cook-the color is said to be infiamma,ory
to some quadrupeds-but we are quite sure that
"Romanism" will not trouble him. 1t exerts

Vevay was visited at o'clock this morning by

store were successfully consumed. The
progress of the flames wasusituated beyond the
tin store, and was of little value. All the build
ings burned, with the exception of tho Tower
House. were one-story frame structures and
their contents were in the main more valuable
than the buildings The Tower House was
valued at $40. 600, and was insured for 5000.
There was also insurance Of 5000 on the surni-
ture it contained. B. w. Simmons pro-
prietor of saloon on the first floor OF the
house, lost the greater part of his stock. On

insurance on the building County Auditor DIR.
