The Fury of AN Unfettered Element Fails
10 Crush Them--The Fire Fiend Defied.

The FURY or AN Onfettsreu Element falls
10 Crush Them--The Fire Fiend Deiied.
The news comes from Attica, Ind.
Of the destruction, by fire, of the big
laboratory and Office building OF the
Sterling Remedy company, makers OF
Cascarets Candy Cathartic and No-To-
Bac, the original guaranteed tobacco
habit cure. The preparations made by
this big corporation are known
throughout the world.
The fire broke out in one Of the
hacking rooms on the third floor during
the noon hour. and had made consider
able Roadway before it was discovered.
The Sterling Remedy company is the
principal industry Of the beautiful lit
tie city of Attica, employing several,
hundred people, besides being affiliated
with the interests at the Indiana Min
eral Springs, the famous Magno-Mud
Cure. The entire population was
worked up to frenzy Of excitement.
Meanwhile the almost proverbial
energy and presence Of mind of "Hust-
ling" Harry Kramer, the general man
ager of The Sterling Remedy company,
was displayed. He was the coolest
man at the scene. He quietly walked
away. and secured a big carriage show
room near by, and had all Office furni-
ture. charred and delapidated as it
was, taken there. Several shipments
were made the same evening from
goods saved, and on Friday morning,
all departments were at work in var
ious rooms about town, while gang
of men were cleaning away the wreck
age preliminary to rebuilding.
The actual damage amounts TO many
thousands of dollars; the loss due to
interruption of business and confusion
of detail is inestimatable. but pluck
and energy of one man will turn de-
feat into victory and move the wheels
oe business to eYer-increasing speed.
Nothing can stop the success of Cas-
carets and No-To-Bac with such char
acteristic force behind them.

CFrons the kalamazoo Telegraph,

The following statement is one of great
interest to many a citizen of Kalamazoo,
and man as well known as Mr. Wallace
should carry more than ordinary weight
with our readers. Here it is as taken
down by our representative:

this right here in Michigan. Ask any one

Meath, constituency for which he
sat till his death in 1875, when he was
succeeded by Mr. Parnell. Mr.. Mar
tin, who had been a leader in the
young Ireland movement Of 1S4S, and
had undergone heightened term OF
Imprisonment and subsequently of ex-
lie, had in his wanderings got into the
habit of wearing a SLOUGH hat, to which
he was determined to adhere at St
stephens. On taking the oath he
walked up the floor of the house with
this musical headgear in his hand, and
was subsequently observed at the side
of their chair in close converse with
Speaker Denison. Mr.. Martin sought
the speakers counsel to knew
whether he might wear in the house
the SLOUGH hat to which he had been
so long accustomed. To this the
speaker saw no objection, although he
pointedly observed that it was the
usual practice to wear a tall silk hat.
Mr.. Martin then said that perhaps Mr..
Speakers views would be met by hia

this heavy slumber, when he saw with
terror that the childs eyes were half

LOCHINVAR IN A BUGGY.
Girl Elopes with Another Man on Her
wedding Night.

Wedding Night.
From Oakman, Walker county, Ala
bama, comes the story of a marriage
which did not take place in the usual
way. James Willingham, prominent
young farmer residing near Berry, was
to have been married few nights ago
to Miss Brown, one of the bellies OF
Oakman. All preparations were made
for the affair, which was expected to
be the swell society event OF the sea-
son. Willingham and four friends
drove over from Berry to Oakman in
buggies. They reached the home OF
the prospective brides parents but a
short time before the hour set for the
marriage. The guests were rapidly
gathering and the kitchen and dining
room presented a scene of great activ-
ity, where preparations were in prog
ress for an elaborate wedding supper.
Just before the arrival of the happy
hour it was found that the bride was
missing. Investigation brought to
light the fact that a short time before
she had quietly left the house and,
having met another lover had eloped
with him. The pair drove rapidly
across the country to Jasper and were
married. Willingham took the matter
good naturally, but the assembled
guests and the parents of the young
lady were greatly shocked. However,
at Willingham's suggestion the supper
was served and all partook of it, none
more heartily than the disappointed
young man whose intended bride at
that hour was hurrying to Jasper with
q Young farmer named ]. T. Echols.

HER HOPELESS LOVE.


Clarissas Vain Attempt to Become as Thin
AS the Corporal.
At West Point, in the hotel Miss Clarissa
comes to the typewrter's table, white, sen
timental, similar to saint in "A missal,
frightened in her gown, and she sits be-
tween two vases filled with flowers in an
irreproachable keepsake pose. 1t is not
secret for any body that Miss Clarissa is in
love with Corporal Anthony Wayne Chum-
ley, the prettiest and the thinnest of all
the cadets.
Rightly or wrongly, but rightly doubt
less she thinks that this ravishing young
man will not pay attention to her until
she shall have become as thin as he is. She
is thin. She is bee, but Anthony Wayne
Chulnley is wasp. AS she appears the
big Major Banks cannot suppress cry of
admiration.

Then he goes to the mirror and delight
fully admires himself Strictly nodded in

the ten fingers of little girl, and his waist
might pass through finger ring. He
contemplates himself, finds himself ador
able and hardly refrains from sending
kisses to his image, reflected by the com
plaoent mirror.
Clarissa in despair returns to her room
breaks 20 laces and gets thinner, but wher
she has returned to her table she under
stands, measuring the corporal's thin
waist with her eyes, that she cannot race
with him.
And as Joseph, the waiter, comes tc

unlikely to result in another attempt to
remove the Turks from Thessaly by
force, which would seem to be the same
as committing national suicide.
So far as the statesmen of England are
concerned, they have allowed themselves
to be outwitted on every move IN the
settlement of the war. How much better
it would have been for Great Britain to
have interfered in behalf of Greece and
insisted that not one ell of land or one
farthing should be paid to the sultan un-
til the last Mohamedan had vacated
Grecan territory, and seen that that con-
dition was carried ont to the letter. But
as it is, there is neither honor nor profit
for that nation in the outcome of policy
of weakness, of treachery aud of pelf.
