QUINCY.

Last Friday night a little after two
O'Clock the Ferrell brick block was dis
covered to be on fire. Our citizens
were asleep and had it not been for a
passing train perhaps 20 minutes more
the whole block would have burned
with many other buildings. The engi-
neer blew his whistle in a most horrify-
ing manner which awakened many of
our people. By prompt, energetic and
heroic efforts the flames were soon sub
dued. 1t was the work of an incendi-
ary. A board of the floor was raised
and large amount of newspapers satu-
rated with coal oil was found in the
partition wall between DR.. Culp's Office
and the office of the Quincy Gazette.
Other punches of paper with coal oil
were found in different places under
the floor. So much coal Oil was used
that it ran through into Mrs. Bilegar's
store room below. Harry Emrine and
Howard McConaughey worked in the
Caaette office until near 2 O'Clock aud

CHINA STAYS OPEN.
OUR VICTORY Is NOW
COMPLETE
Americas Proposition Accepted Bx
All of the Big Powers-Text
of Replies Withheld.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The negotia-
tions opened by Secretary Hay with the
great powers of Europe and with Japan,
towards securing common under
standing for continued open door
policy throughout China, have met
with most gratifying results. The
State Department is unwilling at pres
ent to make public the nature of the
replies received, as this information
will be embodied in a special message
to Congress. But in other quarters,
thoroughly reliable and in position to
have trustworthy and accurate infor-
nation, it is learned that favorable re-
sponses have been made by Great Brit
ain, Germany, France, Russia, the Rus
sian communication coming as late
as yesterday. There is no doubt,
it is thought here, that Italy,
the remaining country addressed, will
make favorable answer, if indeed it has
not already done SO. The position OF
Italy is felt to be assured by the favor
able course adopted by the other four
great powers of Europe.
| The Russian position, it is under.
stood, is similar to those preceding it,
with the same condition that Russia
alone shall not be bound, but that all
the interested countries shall join in
the agreement to keep the ports Of
China forever open.
In what order in the negotiations
Japan's favorable attitude was made
known can not be stated, but it suffices
that Japan made her position unmis
takably in favor of the American prop
in all the other cases that unanimity
should be reached.

OBITUARY..

Caroline Pollock johnson was born
in Richland county, o., Aug. IT,. 1926.
The deceased was married TO Hiram
Johnston, Oct. 80, 1915. There were
ten children born to them-six sons and
four daughters = two sons and four
daughters still survive her. Mr.. and
Mrs. Johnston lived near the city O1
Mansfield for four years, then remov-
ing to Logan county in 1S49, and set
tied on what was then known as the
Chas. Folsom farm near Zanesfield, hav-
ing only $34 in money. Living in log
cabin, they toiled and battled with the
hardships of life until saving enough
money they purchased the farm known
as the Michener farm, the first home
they ever possessed. Then selling this,
they owned three other farms which
they afterwards sold, and in 1864 pur-
chased another of 166 acres near East
Liberty, where she resided until her
death, Dec. II, 1899, having reached
the advanced age of 73 years, months
and 25 days. Her health had been poor
for number of years, and she was con-
fined to her bed for several weeks but
bore her suffering with patience and
fortitude, longing to be released from
the sufferings of earth. She was con-
sistent member of the M. E. church.
She leaves an aged husband to mourn
her loss. She will not only be missed
in the home saddened by her death,
but in the community.
The funeral services were held at the
home Wednesday, Dec. 13, 1899, at
10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Crist.

Is intended to nourish and sustain us, but it
must be digested and assmilated before it
can do this. In other words. the nourishment
contained in food must be separated by the
digestive organs from the waste materials
and must be carried by the blood to all parts
of the body. We believe the reason for the
great benefit which SO many people derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that
this medicine gives good digestion and make
pure, rich blood. 1t restores the functions OF
those organs which convert food into nourish-
ment that gives strength to nerves and mus
cles. 1t also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt
rheum, boils, sores, pimples and eruptions
| catarrh, rheumatism and all diseases that
have their origin in impure blood.

UNDER recent decision of the Su-

Company will be compelled to pay tax
on each instrument used in the State,
on valuation based on the business,
instead of on valuation of S3.40 for

instruments in the State and this will
considerably increase the revenue
from this source.
