About I 30 o'clock Tuesday morning fire
broke out ID the rear OF the residence OF
Mr.. w. II. Rouark, I3S South Queen
street. and the changing Of the FIRE bell
awakened the slumberers IRON their
dreams.
The FIRE department responded immedi-
ately and in a very short space of time
enough were on hand and fighting the
flames.
The second. third and fourth alarms
drew an immense crowd Of people TO the
scene Of the eon1agration, aud all went
TO work with a win TO snbdue the flames
The fire was discovered IN the kitchen
OF the dwelling BY Mr.. Rouark. who was
awakened by the smoke entering his bed
room. He quickly arose and seeing the
building IN flames turned in the alarm.
Il was not more than four minutes after
the first alarm that the iremen we're at
the scene Of the blaze and had a stream
Of water playing IN the destroying
elements, Notwithstanding they hadto cut
their way through a fence TO get at ii.
The kitchen wa 4 mass of flames by the
time they arrived and the top Of the
second story was burning brskly. A
second and third streams were soon
playing on the flames and ia a short time
they were subdued.
The firefnen deserve much credit for
their prompt arrival and heroic work.
They never did quicker or more effective
work at any fire. All honor and praise to
our fire ladies.
How the FIRE originated is not known,
but is thought to have been occasioned by
a defective tlue OF the result Of spontane-
Gus combustion, no fire having been IN the
stove since s o'clock. During the blaze
the force OF water was cut off by Suprein-
tendent Shaffer, owing to a burst in the
water main near the water works. AS
soon as he shut the water off from the
bursted circuit il was turned on again.
The loss OF property amount 10 $500,
$500 on the building. which is owned by
Mrs. Heller, of Baltimore, and 500 on
the personal effects of Mr.. Rouark. There
was no insurance.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only n way to ure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inlamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness caused by catarrh)
that ann be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The City Band Carnival of Music AND
Strawberry Festival came to a close or
Saturday night, after proving n OF the
most successful musical events OF the sea-
son. The attendance, however, was not
as large as had been expected ,andit should
have been much larger.
The orchestra and the Martinsbure
Choral Society rendered a good concert
on the closing night under the direction
of Prof. Luscomb. This was the first APP
pearance of the Choral Society before the
public and the singing was greatly en-
joyed by all who heard it.
The amount taken in by the band dur
ing the three nights was SI27.55; the
amount received from few contributors
$1,000; making a total of SI46.55. Their
expenditures for hall rent, etc, was about
$4,000, leaving a balance o fS8I.55 cleared

turn thanks to all who in any way helped

part, those who attended, those who
contributed and all who in any other way
assisted.

Tomahawk.

DR.. James H. Shipper and family Of
Jones Spring. WA, left this week for his
new field of labor at Gerrardstown.
1t is with deep regret that we make the
above statement as the community has
sustained a loss which cannot be easily re-
paired.
DR.. Shipper was born near Jones Spring
and located there as a resident physician
about two years ago. Though his prac-
tice during hat time extended for many
miles, even in the adjoining counties he
felt that it would only be doing justice tc
become better situated if possible.
He leaves with the best wishes Of his
many friends, and the success with which
he has been attended in the past will prove
him worthy Of the people Of Gerrardstown
and vicinity. l.. S.

This Is the Place whore Magellan Landed
TO Take Possession for spain.

TO Take POSSESSION LOT cpafus
Cebu. on the eastern side OF the long,
narrow island Of the same name, in
the heart of the Visayas and OF the
whole archipelago, is a much more
attractive place than Iloilo, though IL
has been commercially eclipsed by the
latter on account of advantages as o
shipping place for sugar. CeDu is the
place where Magellan landed in 1921
to take possession of everything with
in reach for Spain. and opposite Is the
little island of Mactan, where the nav
igator was killed, having imprudently
interferred In a native quarrel |. Here
toe, Legaspi, landed in 1866, and first
made the Spanish possession effective.
Until he discovered the advantages of
Manila, a few years later. the colonial
government was established here, and
Cebu continued to be the capital OF
Nisayas to the end of the Spanish do
minion. 1t also continued to Re a sea-
port of some Importance, though the
bulk of the sugar shipment bad been
drawn TO Iloilo by its more convenient
location for the collection of the pro-
duct. and it is still, next to Manila, the
chief point for TIE export of hemp.
Moreover, its situation is attractive,
and it Is a well-built town.
The island of Mactan, in front, has
a picturesque aspect, while behind the
city is a ridge of verdant nils. 1t is
the seat of a bishopric, aud has a
cathedral and several other churches,
including that of the Santo Nino, or
Sacred Child, whose image is an object
of reverence, not to say Alteration, to
the whole island. The triangular fort
is of stone, painted red, and the gov
eminent buildings are solid looking,
while there are stone residences that
indicate comfort and taste as well as
comparative wealth. The whole ISL
and Of Cebu, which is a hundred miles
long and somewhat mountainous, Is
not only fertile and verdant, but 1t Is
healthy and is occupied by n people of
%peaceable disposition and civilized ten
denotes. 1t is doubtful If they know
Aguinaldo, or would be much enticed
by his emissaries. Several foreign
consuls and commercial agents have
long lived at Cebu. anu when we get
ready to take possession it ought TO
be a favorable centre from which TO
diffuse a better understanding of Dull
purposes and of the character of
American sovereignty.
