The fire department had two runs
last evening in response to alarms from
box rs. Both were occasioned by a
chimney burning out at the residence
of W. I. Boardman at GIT West Quartz
street. On arriving at the house on the
first alarm, Chief Flannery saw there
was no danger of damage and left a
man to watch till the chimney fire
burned itself out and ordered the de-
partment back. When it left, the man
left and shortly afterWard fire again
began coming out of the chimney and
the inmates becoming frightened
turned in another alarm. No damage
was done.

Considerable Damage to Both Rolling

A COW caused a wreck on the Mon

which did considerable damage to the
company's rolling stock and inciden~
tally to the COW. About o'clock in the
afternoon an ere train consisting of
locomotive and nine cars of ore was
passing through Meaderville on the
way to Heinze's smelter The train
was running at a pretty good rate of
speed when the COW walked on the
track in front of the engine. In an in
slant she was under the wheels of the
engine, which left the track and Went
plunging down an embankment dis
lance Of about 80 feet, followed by an
ore car. Fortunately the engine did
not turn over which, under the circum-
stances, seemed quite remarkable no
one was injured, but the engine and
one ore car were badly wrecked The
other eight cars left the track,
but remained in the grade and We're
not damaged.
The COW is now referred to in the past
tense.

THE OWNER or A #
Fine Sewing
Machine

If SO, this should be of interest to you,
for you certainly want to take care of
it, be it old or new. So many people
seem to think it is all right to buy any
thing that is labeled sewing machine
oil, and they could not make greater
mistake, for after using the so-called
sewing machine oil for few months
their machine commences to run hard,
and before the end of the year it takes
a half-horse power to run it, and by
this time possibly some Inscriptions
agent comes along and tells them the
machine is no good or is worn out, when
the fact is all the machine needed was
to have this inferior oil cleaned off and
oiled with a first class oil to make it as
good as ever. Therefore you had better
take no chances, but buy that which
you know to be the best, the pure Ex-
celsior Sperm Oil warranted not to
gum. Try it and be convinced.

walls and floor. Ingraham took
aboard more bad lands whislley than

discovered he was incapable of steer

anchor in the city jail. He was so en-
ragged at being forced to LAY to- that
he started in to break up the furniture
He completely demolished two or three
of the iron beds and had to be shut up
in the dungeon to prevent him from de-
,stroying everything in sight. He will
