TWO DANGEROUS BLAzEs.
They Occur on Sherwood Avenue,
 Sunday and Monday Nights.

At one o'clock Sunday night, J. H. Davis. proprietor of the Enterprise store. who sleeps in the rear room of the building. awoke and discovered flames of fire bursting out around the chimney which serves as fue for the stove in his store. and also in the Kan sas City meat market. He quickly gave the alarm and soon number of tiremen and citizens were on hand, in spite of the fearfully cold weather, to fight the flames. In the mean time the fire had broken out in the meat market and it took quick, hard work from both sides to put it out The cause was poorly constructed Hue.
 The second blaze started on the meat market side. about eight o'clock Monday night and was discovered just in time to prevent damaging fire. Mir. Pumphery who had been ordered not to use the defective flue, had tim ner come and cut hole through the roof of his building and pass the pipe out through a thim ble, until new fiue could be built. This jcb was not well executed, and caused the second blaze. The location of these fires be- ing in the middle of Front street, !" made them particularly dangerous; threatening destruction of large por- ton of the business portion of the city.

FIFTEEN DEGREES BELOW ZERO.
The General Freeze-Up Gave Mena
 fer Share of Cold.

The sweeping blizzard that spread all over the country Saturday and Sun day, causing much suffering, brought the coldest weather to this section that has been known for many years.
 Some thermometers being so unac- customed to such terrible weather evidently got little excited and, like some people, declared it to be colder than it really was.
 Early Sunday morning thermometers registered as low as twenty-two de- grees below zero, but D. H. Hopkins of Dallas, who is the United States weather observer for this section, states that the lowest register of his government thermometer was fifteen degrees below,
 Although this is very unusual wealth CT it is not believed that the fruit is damaged or any other bad results re- main from the storm.

people.
No more striking case could be
imagined than Mrs. Gillet's. For
twenty years she has suffered every
thing night and day aud as she grew
older other complications developed,
such as heart and stomach troubles.
Nobody thought there was any help
for her, and 70 this day her husband
expresses wonder that ANYTHING was
done 50 long had she suffered. But
in less than two months DR. McElwee
