Last Thursday morning fire was
discovered in the large barn belong
ing to the hotel of Mrs. John II. Rob-
erts. The fire was under good head

The loss of buildings consisted in
the main barn which was the largest
one in the city; also small barn,
sheds and some outbuildings be-
longing to Mrs. Roberts, and IA small
barn near by, belonging to John Cor
nish, all of which were entirely con-
sumed.
The loss in other property con-
sisted of span of good horses be-
longing to DR.. Chas. Schmitt, veteri-
nary surgeon, together with top bug
gy, cart, cutter. double and single
harness, robes, blankets, all his sugi-

Insurance.

Yesterday "wednesday morning
at about II o'clock fire was diccov-
cred in the rear of the large barn of
Mr.. Jas. A. Hoare, and in little
over an hour the barn, which was
considered the largest in the state,
several sheds. 125 tons of hay, 5000
bushels of oats, 800 bushels of corn
and IA lot of machinery, amounting
in all to over $4,000, went up in
flames. No one seems to know the
origin Of the fire, and there was no
evidence of it until the flames broke
through the barn. Mr.. Hoare and
his sons were working at the opposite
side from where the fire started, and
did not see or smell any smoke.
The ringing of the school bell first
gave the alarm, then followed the
city hall bell and the different whis-
ties, which brought willing hands to
the scene, although they were pow
erless against the heavy wind that
was stirring, and the only thing left
to be done was to try and save the
dwelling and other adjoining out
which they succeeded in
doing.
AS we go to press, "Wednesday 3
D. M the fire is still burning. The
insurance is from $1,000 to $4,000.

Coming Of Baby.

When a baby comes to the house
real happiness comes. The care
and anxiety count for nothing
against the clinglng touch OF the
little hands and the sound Of the
little voice. The highest function
given to human beings is bringing
healthy, happy children into the
world. Over thirty years ago the
needs of women appealed to Dr.
Pierce, now chief consulting ply.
sician to the Invalids' Hosel and
Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N
Y. The result Of his study i'm
proved by thirty years of practice
is embodied in DR.. Pierce's Favor

puriies and makes healthy the OF
gaus distinctly feminine. 1t gives
weak women the strength aut

President Cleveland, no doubt,

of valuable information, from the
"jipgo" speeches which have been
precipitated upon Congress by
Morgan, Mills ct i'd genus onnne, reIa-
tive to the respective authority OF
Congress and the Executive as to
the recognition of new States
struggling for existence among the
nations of the world.
The loquacious and i%rrepressible
Morgan has already been retired
to the obscurity of private life b.
the Legislature of Alabama. Tht
Legislature of Texas would confe1
a similar benefit upon the public
if the same course should be pur
sued towards Mills, whom his tim
expires.
This class Of men, who have n
other object in view, except per
