A FIRE ON LINCOLN AVENUE.

What might have been a very serious
blaze but for its being discovered Whlie
yet incipient. started in the Schroeder
building on Lincoln avenue yesterday
morning shortly after two o'clock. ot-
ficer ]. J. MCIlale was making his
rounds in that quarter when he no.

the Mitchell hose Company's quarters
and succeeding in arousing the sleep
ing fireman. who soon had the hose
attached to the fire plug at the corner
of Main street and Salem avenue. The
wind was blowing at the time in ter
rife manner and had not the officer
discovered the fire when he did there
might have been IA destroyed block. 1t
was found upon Investigation that the
insulation had been worn away from
the electric wires where they entered
the building and a hole about SIX
inches in diameter had been burned
through the walls, which is about five
inches thick. The rain blew through
the breech and wet the floor. to
which fact Mr.. Scroeder probably owes
the undestroyed condition of his build
ing today. The wiring in the structure
is an old style used by the Electric
light company some years ago and
was not heavily insulated.

A RUNAWAY YESTERDAY.

Yesterday morning the handsome
black team belonging to James Bar
rett, the South Main street grocer,
caused considerable excitement on
Main street by making an exceedingly
lively dash down that thoroughfaTe.
The street was crowded with pedestrians
and it is surprinsg that no one was
injured. Several persons had narrow
escapes from being trampled under the
hoofs of the maddened animals.
The teams was standing on North
Main street near Aitken's corner and
ran from that point to the slight in
cline on Pike street, where they We're
captured. The animals likely escaped
injury, but the wagon was slightly
damaged. as was the harness. The
team is one of the finest teams in the
city and are very spirited and have
run away on several previous occasions.
The damage to the wagon was exceed
inkly slight and before the day was
over ii was In use

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES


The only way to cure piles i'm every
form is to use remedy like the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure which is applied directly
to the parts affected and its wonderful
healing effects are felt on the first ap-
plication because the medical proper
ties are rapidly absorbed by the SEN
sitive membranes Of the rcctum and the
cure is speedily made, and almost be-
fore the patient is aware of it, every
trace of piles has left him.
This Is one reason why the Pyramid
Pile Cure has been so successful. 1t is
applied directly where is is needed and
where II will do the most good. Not
by the roundabout way of the stomach
nor b. the harsh. barbarous methods
of various surgical operations and so
called systems.
It's advantages over all other pile
cures are these; 1t cures without pain.
the cure is lasting, it contains no poison
and is the quickest and cheapest cure
yet found. II is made by the Pyramid
Drug Co., of Marshall, Mich, and sold
by all druggists at one dollar per pack
age

Thursday was done against the wishes

dangerous, as the electric fluid became
grounded at two different points on
Main street and the wires were melted
and fell upon the ground, making an
electrical display that could be seen
for miles Although several persons
were in close proximity to the falling
wires no one was hurt. 1t would be a
good idea to first get the line in a
safe condition before trying it again.
