A NARROW ESCAPE

From Serious Fire Yesterday After
At SO o'clock yesterday afternoon
an alarm from box No 26, at Four
tenth and Water streets, called the
entire department to the three-story
building occupied by the Wheeling
Drug Company, at Nos 1909 Main
street and 140S South street. The
fire was in the cellar, near the
west end of the building, and close to
the foot of the steps leading to the ce!-
lar. The department responded in
first-class style. and the Eleventh
street chemical company soon had a
stream on the fire through holes cut
in the floor by the hook and ladder
boys. In very short time six or eight
lines of hose had been laid into the
building and the firemen stood by the
nozzles ready to turn on the water
should the occasion arise, but beyond
short service by one line, the engine
streams were not required, and the loss
will not amount to over 500, if so
much. 1t was very narrow escape,
however The cellar of the establish
ment of w. A. Wilson & Son, next adj
joining the drug building to the south,
was also filled with smoke, but no
damage was done there. An immense
crowd was attracted to the scene.
AS nearly as could be ascertained
the fire originated from swinging gas
bracket in the cellar being accidental
ly knocked against some bottles of oil,
one Of which exploded. The building
is owned by the Gutman estate.

dred members at Charleston and an
other of over one hundred and fifty
members in Parkersburg, w. Va.
The charter list in both of these
cities contain the most prominent pro-

A simple glance through the pros
pectus will account for the great sue
cess of this society, as the insurance
features are very attractive.
One of their leading features, which
is exceedingly attractive to experienced
insurance and business men. is its
Ideal Reserve" fund, which guaran-
tees regular monthly installments OF
a fixed amount regardless of deaths,
and insures the monthly or yearly cost
to be reduced one-half after fifteen
years and cash settlement at the age of
seventy, besides introducing number
of other attractive features which are
new to the insurance world.
The order is strongly Endorsed by
Dunn and Bradstreet, besides all the
bankers and leading professional and
business men of their home city, Sc
dalia, Mo.
AS fraternal societies ere popular in
this city, the organizers are confident
of establishing strong lodge here in
a few weeks

her girlish dreams. and the balance of
the two feelings was destroyed-0f the
practical and the romantic side of her
character.

After the conversation with Eva.
BERTHE felt as though he were living in
n more subtle atmosphere. wandering
In a labyrinthe full of mysterious ways
Of craft and cunning. in which he must
walk very ci~rcumspectly ii he did not
wish to lose himself. He knew very
well what he had been driving at; he
wanted to instill into Eva suspicious OF
Franks constancy. Did she not her
self know her lover to be tickle. almost
capricious? Had not his hints been
web chosen?a Had he not Gown che
seed OF doubt? He did not know. He
saw nothing TO reassure him in the
regular, monotonous routine Of every
day life, in which the subtle shades OF
manner so often escape even the keen
est observer. Eva had. indeed. once
asked him about that Something; but
after that, in appearance, at least.
their intercourse had been on the old
footing again. He saw no difference
In Eya-none in Frank: SO Eva could
have said nothing to her lover and
asked him. no questions.
Before that afternoon BERTHE had
known hesitancy. and felt some dis
gust at his own heartiessness. some
horror OF his own monstrvus selfish
ness. But that talk with Eva had
been the first step on the downward
path. where it was now impossible TO
turn back. 4 singular iucidity OF
thought dawned In his brain. as
though his brain was a crystal mirror,
In which hts ideas Were reflected in a
vivid light. Never yet had he felt
himself so keenly alert. so clearly log
ical: never had he aimed so true at an
object In view. with the precision of a
needle. The ~clearness of his mind was
so perfect that in a naive perception of
his own baseness-a lucid moment of
self-kn0wiedge which once flashed on
him. to his surprise, for no more than
q second-he wondered that he should
not apply so much talent and ingenuity
to 4 nobler purpose.
why did he never become an art.
isti' he could hear Eva asking him.
But he only smiled: the practical
WEAKNESS of his life rose up before
