A FIRE BUG IS AMONG US,
A Third Incendiary Hall Way Fire Was
Discovered Saturday Morning.

At little. before o'clock Saturday
morning an incendiary fire was dis
covered in the hallway on the second
floor, between Weferling's restaurant and
Rodick's. barber shop at 506H Congress
street. Mr.. Rodick went to bis shop early
and when he started up the stairway he
noticed a light in closet at the head OF
the stairs Running up he opened the
door and found blaze rapidly gaining
Roadway. The fire was on shelf about
as high as man g head. On this shelf
were several rolls OF room paper. These
had been pulled apart and set on fire.
The woodwork at the top OF the closet
and the door casing were smoking, but
had not yet burst into blaze. Mr.. Ro-
dick pulled the paper down and was able
to extinguish the fire without calling on
the fire department. No damage, to speak
of had been done but it was o narrow
escape. Ten minutes more and fierce
blaze would have been in progress
TAis is the third hallway fro this week
and the origin of all three of them Is
somewhat obscure. Many people think
the other two were set, as well as the one
which was discovered in time Saturday
morning. Saturday mornings fire was
evidently set at about the Same time as
the one on Middle street. Have we fire.

Last summer one of our grand children
was sick with severe bowel trouble.
Our doctors remedies had failed, then we
tried Ohamberlain's Colo, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave very
speedy relief. We regard it as the best
medicine ever put on the market for
bowel oomplaints.-Mrs. E. g. Gregory,
Frederickstown, Mo. This certainly is
the best medicine ever put on the market
for dysentery, summer complaint, colo
and cholera infantum in children. 1t
never fails to give prompt relief when
used IN reasonable time and the plain
printed directions are followed. Many
mothers have expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected.
