caught fire in the senate wing
shortly after noon today, and in few
minutes it looked ae if that portion was
doomed. The fire is supposed to have
originated in one of the committee rooms,
but from what cause is not known. The
fire spread rapidly and soon the immense
building WAS filled with smoke. so it was

prevailed among the clerks and soon the
halls were filled with excited girls and
women. The chiefs Of departments re-
manned cool, however, and in few min
utes all valuable papers and records
were locked up in fire proof vaults
There were not enough fire plugs
near the state house to keep the
engines working, go the firemen
labored at a great disadvantage. The
tiremen reported shortly that all com
mittee rooms in the senate wing and the
senate chamber were ruined and the
loss would probably be from 100000 to
$4,000, and unless the fire was soon
checked would probably reach Sl,O0O,-

having been set TO work today to make
repairs. 1t is said they left their stoves

visiting the Seburns here. relatives of her
mother. when her father, who has a Sec

not want to leave the friends who had
cared for her and the Seburns. refused to
give her up.
The case attracted a score or more of
witnesses, causing the court to declare
that more had been summoned, than was
necessary and hat each side would be
limited to five witnesses. The girl was the
most interested listener in the case. She
sobbed a great part of the time, and when
Judge Bartholomew began his decision with

Why should an individual become surety
for a friend? Friendship? That's no ex-
cuse. 1t only saves the few dollars which a
mpa would charge, while he who signs
assumes a contingent liability, for which he
receives nothing, and which is likely some
day to turn up in the shape of a claim for
thousands OF dollars. The percentage OF
loss by dishonesty is nearly as large as by
fire. What would you think of a man who
would go around issuing fire insurance pol
icies without pay? The only difference is
that fire insurance has been long estab-
lished. Fidelity insurance is now becoming
firmly established, and as a result the far
seeing business man looks upon the fidelity
corporation with the same favor, as COM
pared with individual bondsmen. as he does
upon substantial fire companies as COM
pared with Lloyds. There is the same diff
ference between the two exactly. There
are some good private sureties-there might
be some good Lloyds. but the best security
is always to be found in the corporation
whose every asset is pledged to the pay
ment OF Its policies.
Cut this out, put 1t in your pocket-book,
and If you require a bond or are asked to
sign one, refer to FIDELITY & DEPOSIT

A Loss OF $SO,OOO,OOO!

Labor-saving inventions or discoveries
have often been violently opposed on the
ground that they take workingmen's bread
out of their mouths. Although experience
has shown the fallacy of that theory the
feeling. or fear. was natural.
But it is not so much the lack Of work as
the inability to work that causes poverty
and suffering. In England and Wales every
workingman averages ten days of sickness
every year, with a total loss of wages for
all of about $50. 100000 per year. In this
country the loss is much greater. In all
countries the prevailing disease is indiges-
ton and dyspepsia and its consequences
such as rheumatism, and other ilments re-
sulting from impure blood; a result OF
dyspepsia.

Twelve per cent. interest and commission
is the amount that many money lenders
with chattel security expect to derive from

ton Of the mortgage record n $50. 1t is

interest, etc.. and that a chattel mortgage
was taken as security, it being properly
filed. 1t turned out, however, that a prevf-
Gus mortgage against the same chattels,
furniture, was found on file. 1t is alleged
that Aufderheide & Zumpfe, land their
agent Wiltsee, had loaned Anna Fitzgerald
$50 on the same goods the year previously
and that, though the note was properly
paid, it had not been satisfied on the mort
gage record. The new lender. therefore.

no effect and to clear all title to the said
property. In the complaint 1t Is alleged
that the said Drimmies who lives in Ken

Aufderheide & Zumpfe to be loaned SO
that he would derive II per cent. interest.
