Disastrous Fire

Shortly before o'clock on Saturday evening last, smoke was seen issuelng from the stable in the rear of the old Monarch Saloon, the property of Severe Vigil. An alarm of fire was given and the citizens immediately turned out and went to work with q will, tearing down adjoining fences, getting out bug gies and harness, and wetting down the roofs of the houses where there was any danger. They thus succeeded in keeping the fire confined to the sta ble, which was totally destroyed, burn- ing to death three horses, which were unfortunately tied in the end of the stable where the fire started, and de- stroying about eight tons of hay and half ton of grain. The horses were owned bv Dionicio Duran and Tomas Ortega, and the hay and grain by J. R. Armijo. The total loss will amount to about $500 and was uninsured,
 A heavy rain had fallen during the afternoon which wet everything in the vicinity and was great help towards keeping the fire from spreading and saved St. Johns from destruction of property which is fearful to eontem. plate.

In recent letter to the manufact- urers MT. w. F. Benjamin, editor of the Spectator, Rushford, N. Y., says: "It may be a pleasure to you to know the high esteem in which Chamberlaln's medicines are held by the people of your own state, where they must be best known. An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to visit me a few years since, and before leaving home wrote me, asking if they were sold here, stating if they were not she would bring quantity with her. as she did not like to be without them" The medicines referrd to are Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, famous for It's cures ofeolds and croup; Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame back, pains ln the side and chest, and Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy for bowel complaint. These medicines have been in constant use in Iowa for almost quarter of century. The people have learned that they are articles of great worth and merit, and unequaled by any other. They are for sale here by St. Johns Drug Co.,,

Came in Handy.

The folling little campaign story H. lustrates how the clever wife of far mer utilized two candidates:
 ''If 1t is not too early I would like to tell you a campaig story" remarked the chief of one Of the bureaus of 8 downtown department
 ''One of the actors in it was very ire quently spoken of as possible candi- date before the Chicago Convention, though he was by no means the most prominent, and the other, by pecu- liar combination of events, has been spoken of in connection with the nom- ination as Governor of his State.
 The scene was in Western State, though neither of the gentlemen re- sides in that State now.
 Both were candidates for small county office. and both men, as they are now. were hustlers for anything they were after.
 'They were making house-to- house canvass, which was necessary at that time, owing to the sparse population, and while they endeavOred to work in different sections they frequently found themselves in the same neighborhood at the same time.
 "The occurrence to which refer to was at farm about mile distant from the village where both candidates were to speak the following day. The can- didates kept their eyes pretty well on each other during the early part of the day, but during the afternoon they started out to do missionary work at the farmhouses. By singular circum- stance they landed at the same farm, though one did not know the other was there until later on.
 "1he man first referred to, finding that the owner of the farm was absent, devoted himself to the wife. and, of course, said all kinds of nice things to her, making special inquiry after the children, whether they had caught the measels, which prevailed at the time, etc. The lady seemed charmed with the attention shown her, but said she would have to be excused, as she had to milk the COW. The candidate kind ly offered to assist in that performance saying that though he could not milk he could keep the flies off the COW. or at least hold her tail.
 "Whlle engaged holding the cows tail he ventured to ask if his compet- itor for the office had been around yet. 'Oh, yes,' answered the wife, The is here now. He is in the back barn and is holding the calf, for this COW Will not give down her milk if the calf is in sight. .'"-Republic.
