A Small Blaze

The fire department was called out to
Washington and Main streets last night by
an alarm turned in from box 94. The fire,
which was in a small shed, was quickly
extinguished, no further damage being
done than the destruction of the shed and
a few bales of hay. The origin of the fire
is not known, but it is believed to have been
started from lantern used by the men
about the stable.

that has ever been offered to medical

resides at No. IA Peoria street, Pasa-

keeper for the well.known lumber firm

treating her for congestion Of the liver.
She steadily grew worse, and i've Of
the leading physicians of Pasadena
held consultation at her bedside and
sagely wagged their heads and said she
must die within three days.
Under the Shadow of Death,
Surrounded by her weeping relatives
Mrs; Waller's soul was lowering on the
borders of eternity. Her lips were
duced to q ghastly skeleton, weighing
only rs pounds. A happy inspiration
prompted weeping friend to send for
DR.. A. J. SHORES, and that medisal

The South, with barren hill-sides riven.
Hath precious stores to mankind given;
And many a precious gem doth shine
From many a late-diScOyered mine.
