WORK OF A FIREBUG.
Four Fires Started In a Few Hours
on the Same Premises.

on JnS same PREMISES.
The police have very little doubt
that the fires at Simon FpSt's place
on South Flores street are of incpn-
cCndiary origin, and this theory
seems to be borne out by several
circumstances strongly indica ting
that arson was a crime that was
committed four different times on
that day. The circumstances by
which the theory is borne out are
rs follows: There is Polish
woman who has been a tenant and
occupant Of one portion Of the
premises whom the owners
have been trying unSuCcesS-
fully to dislOdge, until Satur-
day, the day of the fires, when
she was finally disposscssed
of the premises she occupied.
Soon after the frs fire, which was
started in the morning, had been
eXtinguished, it was started again,
and after it was put out again, was
started afresh a third time, in a
different portion of the stable,
which was fired. Finally, late in
the evening, the house, which had
been occupied by this woman, was
fired, making four fires that had
occurred on the premises within
Jew hours of each other, under SuS-
piciOuS circumstances The woman
does not entertain very kind feel
ingS towards the owners of the
premises, and revenge is the mo-
tive to which the officers attribute
her attempts at arson. \ fire in
guest should be held and the grand
jury should investigate the matter.

great merit, on its merits. An article
having large sale, paying over 100 per
cent. profit, having no competition, and
on which the agent is protected in the
exclusive sale of deed given for each
and every county he may secure from
us. With all these advantages to our
agents and the fact that it is an article
that can be sold to every house owner,
it might not be necessary to make an
''extraordinary offer" to secure good
agents at once, but we have concluded
to make it show, not only our confidence
in the merits of our invention, but in
its STABILITY by any agent that will
handle it with energy. Our agents now
at work are making from $3.50 to 5000 a
month clear and this fact makes it safe
for us to make our offer to all who are
out of employment. Any agent that will
give our business thirty days trial and
fail to clear at least $l00 in this time,
above all expenses, can return all goods
unsold to us and we will refund the
money paid for them, Any agent or
general agent who would like ten or
more counties and work them through
sub-agents for ninety days and fail to
clear at least $3.50 above all expenses,
can return all unsold and get their money
back. No other employer or agents ever
dared to make such offers, nor would we
if we did not know that we have agents
now making more than double the
amount we guaranteed; and but two
sales day would give a profit of over
$125 a month, and that one of our agents
took eighteen orders in one day. Our
large descriptive circulars explain our
offer fully, and these we wish to send to
everyone out of employment who will
send us three one cent stamps for pos
tage. Send at once and secure the
agency in time for the boom, and go to
work on the terms named in our extra
ordinary offer. We would like to have
the address of all the agents, sewing
machine solicitors and carpenters in the
country, and ask any reader of this paper
who reads this offer, to send us at once
the name and address of all such they
know. Address at once, or you will lose
the best chance ever offered to those out
of employment to make money.
