The big fire at Toledo. O.. last week
destroyed the chamber Of commerce
building. in which building O. z. Falls
q Co. had their architect office. Will
lam A. Stevens, well known TO our citi-
zenS, is in the employ OF this firm and
had left the office only twenty minutes
before the fire alarm was given. VIII
returned and with his usual GOODNESS
headed a brigade that made an ineffec-
tual attempt to save the big building.
He was the last person to leave the roof.
where he had been directing a three
inch nozzle all alone for thirty minutes,
and when he left the roof he stopped
in the Office long enough to gather up
some very valuable papers belonging To
/ the firm, never for a moment thinking of
his own instruments and other property
worth two or three hundred dollars. none
of which were insured and is a loss To
him heavy TO bear After the fire was
over Mr.. Falls told Billy that he
/ the only one about the building who had
seemed TO retain possession Of his senses.

About the most contemplate and I'M
| American organization yet formed is
| the \. L. A. 1t cannot be too severely
/ condemned by every true American cit
len Any organization that prOscribes
class of citizens on account of their
religious belief is inimical and dangerous
TO the liberties of the people Of our
country 1t should be throttled at its
/ inception. The constitution gives each
citizen the right 10 worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of his own con-
science, and any attempt to abridge
! this right ought 70 and will receive the
just condemnation Of all liberty-loving
! and fair-minded people. I understand
! that an organization Of this kind has
| been effected in this city. | don't know
| who compose the membership, but I am
quite sure of one thing, that whoever
| they are. you can write them down as
set of narrow-minded bigOts whose in
tolerant ideas of religion are enough
( TO make the devil weep. l am told that
one Of the leaders of this organization
is a man who a few years ago left this
city under a cloud. Such man is a fit
! leader for such an organiZtion.-COTres-
pondence in Washington Democrat.
The Lagrange Democrat notes that
IAN advertiser in the Michigan City
Dispatch is still running a double
quarter display advertisement annOunc-
/ ing Thanksgiving day specialties, tur-
keys, groceries, etc, with a big cut APP
propriate TO that day. He probably
wonders why advertising does not bring
larger returns and his spectacles are
no more misty than those of many other
merchants who do not realize that a
good medium having been selected, the
| prOdtableness of the investment varies
according to the amount of attention
the advertiser is willing to devote TO
preparing fresh copy often, and OF
always keeping before the public some
/ thing attractive and of interest. The
\ time Of the merchant who can for q
year or a time indefinite keep standing
in his space The simple announcement
that he has a full stock constantly on
hand at the old stand has long since
passed away. Only professional men
can afford TO adopt 2. fixed phraseOlOgy.
and the merchant in whatever line Of
business must keep constantly changing
the nature of his advertisement in order
! to get the greatest possible benefits"
About 9 O'Clock on Thursday morning
| of last week BERTHE Tracy, an excellent
! and highly esteemed young man living
a few miles east Of Macy, aged about
/ sixteen years, met with an accident that
| resulted in his death in a few hours.
| He was in the woods hunting, had got
out Of his buggy and was standing on
] a log with his gnu in his hand, when
/ he slipped in some way from the log and
| the weapon was discharged. the contents
/ Of both barrels entering his abdomen.
! Some men who were working in the
/ woods near by came TO his relief and
conveyed him to his home, when death
! relieved him of his suffering about 4
O'Clock in the evening. His parents are
| overwhelmed with grief over his untime-
| ly and tragic death. The young man
showed wonderful courage and pluck in
| his terribly wounded condition. After be-
| ing shot and while his bowels We're pro-
/ truding from the wound made by the
| fatal discharge Of his gun, he arose and
/ walked some distance 3nd finally
reached his buggy unaid 49, He must
| have realized from the first that death
| was near at hand, as no man could long
| survive such a wound as that.-Roches-

A dispatch from North Judson SAYS
| there is great excitement there over the
belief that Mrs. John Emmons was
| buried in the cemetery there. Saturday.
/ before she was dead. although the re-
| mains had been kept five days. The
| history of her ancestors reveals the fact
! that they have been subject to frances.
! Her grandmother was in a trance eight
| days, revived and lived twenty years.
Her mother and sister underwent similar
! strange experiences. The husband pro-
| tested against the interment to the last,
/ but gave in to the dictates of the
/ woman's physicians and a few friends
| Although the body was kept in warm
| room there was no sign Of modification.
| The coffin glass displayed dampness on
/ the inside and when there was a de-
| preston made in the corpse it instantly
/ assumed its normal shape. When her
| flesh was pierced with sharp instru-
ments, no blood came The hands be-
| fore a lamp showed no pink behind the
| fingers. With all these tests failing TO
reveal life, the interment was made.
/ The feeling is general since learning the
| history of the family that the woman
was not dead and the remains viii be
exbumed. Mrs EmmOns leaves six chill
! dren, the eldest ten years.
In his speech opening the tariff debate
| Chairman Wilson showed that on the
! 4th Of March, 1889, when President Cleve-
| lands first term ended, there was "an
| available cash balance, amounting, in
| the form of the treasury statement used
| in the past two years, of 1885, 600 000"
| The phrase form of treasury statement
used in the past two years is significant
| During President Harrison's administra-
! ton the form of the treasury statement
| was changed twice. Secretary Window
| changed it so as ''to conceal the surplus
| and later it was changed by Secretary
| Foster Ito conceal the bankruptcy of the
treasury" Secretary Foster was a past
| master in this art of juggling with finan-
| cial statements as the collapse Of his
! own varied private interests shortly after
| he retired from public office showed As
secretary Of the treasury and as a pri-
| vate business man he kept his books on
