bottles Of beer at drug store upon q

Seneca Courier-Democrat: A pecu-
liar characteristic about the late fire is
that of four different firms who are en-
gagged in the insurance business and
were located in the Variety block, only
one firm had any insurance and that a
small one. They appear to be related
to the preacher who said, "Don't do as
do, but as tell you" It is the shoe
makers wife that has cold feet.
At Belle Plaine a man had a two
hundred and fifty barrel water tank on
tower whereby he supplied his house
with Adams ale. The Pipes froze up

the tank, spilling two hundred and
fifty barrels of ice water on the men
who were trying to extinguish the
blaze.

of speech in slight degree; but, while
he is conscious, he is evidently growing
weaker. As he is now approaching
we'll on to 80 years of age, it is not ex-
pected he will ever be up again.

the present collection is the largest ev-
er made in that Office, all of which
speaks we'll of the prosperity of the
county. Other counties near us do
not report SO large per cent. collected
as this. The people seem to have money
IN spite OF the low price OF stuff.
