TWICE ATIRE IN ONE DAY.
The Double Frame House of Michael
Kilgallon Destroyed.

A double frame house belonging to
Michael Kilgallon, situated in the rear
of Farview street. caught fire about
430 o'clock yesterday morning and be-
fore the flremen reached the scene II
had about half burned down. One side
of the house was occupied by Michael
Hogan and family. while the other was
vacant. The fire originated in the
vacant side of the house and is be-
lieved to be of incendiary origin. or due
to spontaneous combustion. The lat
ter belief is strengthened by the fact
that a large quantity of straw was
stored in that side.
The Mitchell company responded to
the first alarm, but their hose was sew
eral feet "shy." The Columbias were
called out by a second general alarm
and arrived in time to save a part of
the building.
The same building caught fire again
shortly after IL o'clock and burned
nearly to the ground, both companies
responding again and extinguishing the
flames In short order. 1t is understood
that the loss Is fully covered by insur-
ance.
The Mitchell company damaged their
hose cart so that it had to be sent to
the blacksmith shop before the hose
could be replaced on the reel.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in it's place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
1t was never intended as a medicine,
and people who use 1t as such will some
day regret 1t
We refer to the common use OF soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach
a habit which thousands of.people prac-
tice and one which is fraught with dan
ger; moreover, the soda only gives tenn
porary relief and in the end the stom-
ach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
1t has accumulated in the intestines,
causing death by Inflammation or peri
tonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
tacid dyspepsia) an excellent prepal "a
tion sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 2o-grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
ural acids, peptones and digestive ele-
ments essential TO good digestion, and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before 1t
has time to ferment, sour and poison
the blood and nervous system.
Or. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases OF stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they create flesh and
strengthen the action of the heart and
liver. They are not a cathartic, but in
tended only for stomach diseases and
weakness and will be found reliable ir
all stomach troubles except cancer OF
the stomach. All druggists sell stuart

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage
of it. A little forethought will also
save much expense ana valuable time.
A prudent and careful man will keep
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cole Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until
necessity compels it and then ruin his
best horse going for a doctor and have
big doctor bill to pay, besides; one
pays out 25 cents. the other is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders why
his neighbor is getting richer while he
is getting poorer. For sale by all drug

communication in regard to the bicycle
ordinance was read. 1t states that an
officer making the arrest shall, upon
coming before the burgess, make COM
plant on oath. The burgess will then
hear the case, and IL fine is imposed
and the defendant refuses to pay, the
burgess can commit him to the lookup

states that the borough can tax all poles

company and collect the same as

by a deed of said streets, was pre-
sented. After a short debate the

The report that has been given out
that the Ontario and Western man

fraternity on Saturday evening in not
running a train to Hancock as pre-ar-
ranged, has caused no little comment
The Ontario and Western management
is not responsible for the trains not
running, nor the eleventh hour notice
given out by the Masonic fraternity.
The train was chartered for $50 and a
general canvass made up and down the
valley. On account of its being Sum

and many working on first OF month
