A gas lamp was put in Mrs. j. B.
Gosh Orn's millinery shop the other
day and tbegas lit. The lamp burned
all night aud the next morning a
charred place was burned right
through the ceiling. The lamp was
only about foot and a half from the
ceiling and the heat burned the thin
strip of pine ceiling clear through.
Had there been jOist over head TO
hold the fire, the chances are that a
cOnf1agratiOn would have ensued.
This should he warning to people to

near the woodwork. Some one will

proven by experience, fire proof aud a
fire will result.
Mr.. l.. H. Wishard was showing
one of his partners i'm the Manufact-
uring Co., how the joiner worked last
Friday, when the rapidly revolving
knife caught the index finger of his
righj hand and cut the nail off. The
doctor thinks the finger can be saved,
but the nail is gone. In response to
our expressions of sympathy Mr..
Wishard observed: "The worst thing
hate about it, aside from the loss of
the nail, is that there are just az bad
fools as l am going around here with
out any brand on Them" He also
asked us to say that he was not
monkeying with the buzz saw and
that while some people called the
machine a joiner, his experience would
go to show it to be q dis-jOiner.

The three-year-old boy of j. A.
Johnson, of Lynn Center, ILL.,, is sub
ject to attacks of Group. Mr.. Johnson
says he is satisfied that the timely
use of ChamberIain's Cough Remedy,
during severe attack, saved his
little boys life. He is in the drug
business. a member of the firm of
Johnson Bros. of that place; and they
handle a great many patent medi-
cines for throat and lung diseases.
He had all these to choose from, and
skilled physicians ready to respond
to his call, but selected this remedy
for use in his own family at time
when his child's life was in danger,
because he knew it was superior to any
other, and famous the country over

John Carmain, whose arrest and
trial was noted in last weeks paper,
has returned from FIT. Scott. The
court fonnd him guilty and fined him
5000. Mr.. Carmain is back at work
in the New York Store and stated to
a REGISTER reporter that he was alb
sOluteIy innocent of the charge. Mr..
Stephenson, who had him arrested,
charged with mailing postal card of
defamatOry nature to himself, had
several witnesses from here who
swOre to conversations had with Car
main leading in the same direction,
while Carmain had a witness who |
said he would have recognized Step |
hensOn's handwriting on the card |
The guilt seems to have
been rather in doubt and the court !
imposed a moderate fine from the
evidence given, which was rather |
one sided. MIR. Carmain is a very |
gentlemanly young man and has a
host of friends who will be slow to ad-
NIT his guilt.
