Fire Department Headquarters.

When the new Central fire station is
erected In Exchange place il is intend
ed to equip suitable quarters % be used
ms offices by the board Of fire. commis-
siouers. which is something that the
members OF the board desire as they
claim that like the police officials, they
can do better service by having their
headquarters IN the Central station.
This would leave still more vacant
room i'm the basement of the city Hall

would leave five good sized rooms to be
used by other departments
It was suggested that In time the
public school department should have
its Headquarters at one of the CEN

To make this change, he claimed, is
comparatively easy, as the police head
quarters can be transferred TO the
Quarters at present occupied by the
poor department, which, OF course.
would be transferred 10 the now quar-
tiers ON Eddy street, which are ready
for occupancy by Overseer OF the Poor
Cummings and his clerks. 1t Is sa o.
that Mr. Cummings has stated that he
viii not go 10 Eddy street. and Will not

statement Is pronounced absurd by
those who have heard it. The city has
been 70 great deal of expense in fix

The boys of this city who have been
camping at Blue Lake for the past two
weeks, have returned home, and speak
in glowing terms of the Lake as first
class fishing resort The accomoda-
lions are good, and there are an I'M
limited number Of fine camping places
near the lake. They report good time
with lots Of fun. Their sun-burned
faces and general appearance caused
many of the people along the road to
take them for returning soldiers from
the war. They speak in high terms of
the hospitality of the citizens of Ona-
wa, and especially of Mr.. Fairchilds,
at the Lake.

Burglars.

Sometime last night burglars pried
open window at the pastoral resi-
dence occupied by Rev. L. j. Mullen,
and ransacked the house, securing
about 500 in money. One of the front
windows of the residence, had been in.
advertently, lett unfastened, and, it
was but the work of minute for the
burglars to raise the window, and thus
gain access to the house. Apparently,
they were old hands at the business, as
they entered the room in which the
Rev. Mullen was sleeping and took his
clothes off chair which was not two
feet from the bed. They rifled the
clothes In search of anything of value,
taking about twenty dollars In paper
and coin. At present 1t Is not known
whether they took anything else of
value, but so far nothing has been
missed.

is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,
N. Cit may be question whether
the editor of newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as preventive
of suffering we feel it duty to say
good word Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine In our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found 1t reliable. In many cases
dose OF this remedy would save hours
Of suffering while physician is
awaited. We do not believe in depend
ing implicitly on any medicine for q
cure, but we do believe that if bottle
of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy
were kept on hand and administered
at the inception Of an attack much
suffering might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by Elliott
