school of that OF DIR. Keith and is
bound to supercede the use of SO called
remedies that are made of we'll known
and active poisons, the use of which
can hardly be justified upon any
reasonable pretext.
Fire broke out about three o'clock
Wednesday morning in the O'Matley
building, originating from cigar stubs
or matches thrown into sawdust spit
toon used in the club rooms. The fire
burned downward through the floor
making hole about 19 inches in
diameter and letting the fire down up
on the goods beneath, quantity of
which was destroyed or badly dama-
ged. Prompt work of tiremen and
others saved the building and stock
! from a more serious damage and per-
haps total loss.
| Mr.. P. T. O'Malley, proprietor OF
the Cresco Department store wishes to
thank the members OF the Cresco Fire
Department for the prompt and effic-
lent services rendered at the recent
fire in his store. Considering the time
it occurred and the difficulty in hand-
ling such fire, the Department de-
serves great credit for its promptness
and the good judgment used in pre-
venting what promised serious con-
| tfagration. and this combined with the
water works saved for our city more
than the entire cost of the system.
Marshal Hall has also shown our peo-
pie that he is awake at night and at

ond or third fire discovered while yet
in an incipient condition during the
