by Fire.
Superhuman Efforts OF the Flremen OF Morris
and Hancock, Save the Town from

~h~ saSh@@~" ~~NS @"S WV
Destruction,
On Monday morning little after
ono o'clock. fire was discovered in the
store of F. y. Hancock, i'll the Good
building. IT had gained such heaG'
way that it could not be got under
control till it had destroyed that fine
double store, and five other stores,
and Mr.. Goods furniture warehouse
on the back street, over which was Il
hall occupied by the United Work
men, Odd Fellows, and llibernian
Society; the regalia of these societies
was all saved.
The Masonic hall being over Goods
store was destroyed, with all the fine
furniture, regalice &C., worth $4,000.
The losses, as near as we could
ascertain were:
F. y. Hancock, grocery stock loss,
$1,000; insurance $1,000.
J. d. Good, buildings, hardware,
furniture, timers outfit &C, loss,
$40, 900; insurance, $l3. 400.
Masonic orders, loss, $4,000; insur'
ance $4,000.
NJ. J. Foley, restaurant, loss, 81 200
insurance, none.
Larson & Nilsson, buildings and
general merchandise, loss, 5000; in
Surance, $1,000.
Anderson & Siverson, meat market
loss. $500; no insurance.
Fritz BuckeEtin, drug store, loss,
s., 500: no insurance.
j. ChriStianson, saloon, loss, SIS, 600;
no insurance.
e. kohler, harness shop, loss, 500;
insurance, $1,000.
Dr.. Duley, lost all his books and
surgical Instruments $3.50.
The cause of the fire cannot be as
certained. The firemen wrought all
night heroically. The Hancock fire
company came up on the regular 1915
train, which was held for them till
they got ready, the manner in which
that Co. got their engine off the car,
TO the scene of the fire, and laid their
hose down showed them to be experts
at the business, but, unfortunately
their plunger broke early in action,
which rendered their engine useless:
but they went in for all they were
worth to assist our men in every way
they could,to stop the progress of the
flames; too much praise cannot be
given them for their zeal in our aid,
in the hour Of our peril.
Morris owes Hancock a debt of gra'
titude which we hope never to be
called upon to pay in kind.
The Willmar Co. also came to our
assistance by special train. but hav'
ing over so miles to come, arrived
too late to take hand in the work;
the fire was subdued when they got
here, but they were willing to do all
they could for our assistance, ard we
tender them the hearty thanks of the
ifrsGp1c. Of Morris fog *be,r s>r"mnt
response to our call.
The Norris Steam Engine paid for
herself FIVE times over that night;
there was delay in getting water, but
when she got started she threw two
strong. steady streams till all was over.
1t is astonishing that such a fire
could be Subdued in the middle of a
row of frame buildings, almost built
into each other.

Epoch
The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the in.
diyldual. Such a remarkable event
is treasured in the memory and the
agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in
praise of Electric Bltters. So many
feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use Of the great altera-
tive and tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of the Kidneys,
Liver or Stomach, of long or short
standing you will surely find relief by
using Electric Bitters. Sold at SCOTS

An Incident OF the Firs,

AS everybody was packing his
traps on Monday morning, to escape
the devOuring element, SO did Fred
Bunnell pack up plates, dishes, silver
ware, meat. bread, butter and every
thing eatable, or to use in eating, and
had them moved to the new hotel, a
block away, when it was suggested to
him that the Hancock and Willmar
men who came so far, and iabored so
hproically ought to get lunch. HIS
help went TO work, got the goods
back to the hotel, cooked a good
breakfast and had IS Wen at table ell
loving themselves, all in three
quarters Of an hour from the time
the suggestion was given.
Bunnell and his help deserves {
vote of thanks, and we give it then
without motion.

HOW IT WORKS.
Practical Illustration of the Brace Game
X own as Louisiana Lottery.

We give the following clipping
from the Pioneer Press, to show how
easily people are gulled by THE nefa'
rious game of lottery. They sell
tickets amounting to 2,O00,090 and
put into premiums 100 900, leaving
to the stock holders the snug little
sum of 100000. The wonder is, that
people can be found, silly enough TO
take such chances:
TO show the demoralzing effects of
the lottery, the experience Of
California can be referred 20. In San
Francisco warfare is being wagcd
against the Louisiana lottery gamble,
and there are hopes that in some way
this form OF robbery may be stopped.
The following table shows the the
amounts to be won and the odds
against winning. all calculated at 81 Il

A Card of Thanks.

The ladies' of the Grace-Street Baptist
church desire to express their grateful ap-
probation of the part taken in the m,Si-
cGie at that church on Tuesday evening 10
the following parties: To Mrs. Willie
Knowles, Mrs. Durrett. Mrs. Clements, and
Miss Montgomery for their exquisite solos
that were so highly enjoyed by the au-
dience; to Messrs. Watkins, Cunningham.
and Leftwitch. Richmond's fav0rite song
sters: also 10 the accomplished organists,
Professors Watson, Powers, and jenkins.
and 20 the pianoists (teachers Of the Rich
mond Conservatory, Misses Allen, Good
wyn. Dickinson, and Professor Unkel. who
rendered their brilliant numbers with such
artistic effect.
The whole programme was intensely en-
loved by the large audience present. as was
evidenced by the repeated e,cores and the
expressions of delight heard on al sides.
Great credit is reflected on the skill of
the performers when is borne in mind the
fact that the musicale was gotten up on
such short notice that not n single re-
hearsal was held.
Professor Watson. the skilled organist at
Loigh-Street church, was the accompanist.
Grateful mention must be made here
also of courtesies and valuable help rem
dered by Mr.. Allie Epps, Of Epps Il Bos-
siux. 10y Alr. Mores, and tbe Dispatch and
State
