DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Was the boarding House of Mrs. shepherd
Friday Night While Its Occupants
We're Away SIeighriding.

A very bad fire in its results was
that OF last Friday evening, which de
stroyed boarding house in the east
part OF the city, occupied by Mrs. Lily
Shepherd. She and all her boarders
twelve girls and one young man, were
away on sleighride, not soul being
about the premises when a neighbor
discovered fire had broken out in the
upper portion, very probably from a
defective chimney.
The fire alarm was sounded but our
usually accurate (?) fire alarm system
registered it as from box four or box
five. The fire department accordingly
made swift run for the southwest part
OF the city and of course were unable
to locate it. They were returning leis-
urely to the hose house when the
tlames broke out and made sufficient
light for the department to locate it
and they made another race. The
building was OF course by this time be-
yond hope. Neighbors had removed
considerable of the contents from the
lower floor, but the clothing and effects
OF the boarders was all destroyed, they
only having what they were wearing at
the time left.
The names OF the girls are Anna
Kennel, Agnes Jenson, Edith Lewis,
Minnie Giles, Ethel Kennedy, Eva
Orpha Moreton, Grace Cline,
Florence Urich, Lora Lind, Jennie
Lind and one other whose name we did
not learn, all of whom are employed in
Belding Bros. & Co.'s silk mill. A
5u Inscription was at once started for
their benefit aud one hundred dollars |
was subscribed in the mill. We under
stand considerable has also been raised |
outside the mill which will be divided |
among the losers, and help provide for
necessities. They feel duly |
grateful and request the BANNER to |
return their thanks TO the generous
The building was owned by c.. w. |
Perry of HowardCity aud probably was
insured, although we have no definite
knowledge on that point. Loss esti-
mated at about 200. Mrs. Shepherd
lad insurance on her goods and the
idjuster was here Monday and effected
settlement with her at $319.50, aud
he has the company's check for that
mount. The policy was in the Aetna

w. C. T. U. COLUMN.
"For God and Home and Native Land"

"For God and Home and Native Land"
Mrs. Caulkins of Kalamazoo, ma.
tional lecturer OF the w. G. Il. u. gave
an interesting lecture in the Congre-
gational church Sunday evening, Feb.
4th, under the auspices of the w. G. Il.
U. She is a very interesting, enthusi-
astic speaker, fully alive to the needs
of the home, and she strives to awaken
her hearers to the dread situation Of
affairs with King Alcohol hustling
through this beloved land OF ours. She
is God-send to any community who
are fortunate enough to secure her SER
vices, and we trust that she awakens
many slumbering souls to the danger
Gus surroundings and temptations OF
our youth and to the great response
blllties resting upon US as American
citizens. There was good audience
who listened attentively to her address.
A collection of over seven dollars and
half was taken and 2S new members
were added to the "White Ribbon
Army"
The local Union feels quite encour-
aged with the outlook and hope that
the seed sown may take deep root, and
great may the harvest be; that many
more will feel that they have duty in
temperance work and, as Mrs. Caulkins
expressed, will feel that they can give
their penny a week with two weeks
vacation IN the year and become men,
bers of our Union, or help to strengthen
some other temperance organization
with their mite and influence.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival OF the doctor. An Albany
IN. Y. dairyman called at drug store
there for a doctor TO come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor In, he left word for
him TO come at once on his return. He
also bought bottle OF Chamberlain IS
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain 's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for IL from that part OF the country
For sale by all druggists.

every new stern parent, /" father"
behind his back and speculates on how
many hogs he has until new fancy

Who is il?
They who keep their youth by
mingling with youth are the happy
ones of the earth. The home that is

bors is a happy contented one.
Such is the home of Peter Carlson,
south of Elkhorn, and last Sunday
his friends gathered there and midst
cheer and plenty had a royal good
time. We are assured by the people
present that everyone was made to
feel at home and The congenial spirit
of the host and hostess was felt by all
until everyone felt the spirit of a
good time.

Fred Robinson was over from
Avoca the first of the week making
arrangements to bring over number
OF Shetland ponies, which he is in
hopes of disposing of to our people.
Fred Bennett and Frank Smith
left Oh the afternoon train Tuesday
for Calhoun county. Fred goes TO
look for location for blacksmith
shop, and Frank to look up location
for a dray line.
The Oaktield people seem to think
Ward Smith is taking a great deal of
interest in the arrangement of that
new house, for single man. Can it
be possible that Ward is thinking of
occupying it himself?
Miss Dell Reynolds, of Atlantic.
who has many friends in and around
Brayton, has been in quite poor
health of late and will probably take
a trip to the mountains in the near
future in the hopes Of benefitting it.
Next week Ed. Lewis goes out to
put the finishing touches on Geo.
Johnson's new house The
inside of the house is finished in
chestnut and spruce, which, when
hard oiled, Will MAKE one of the
incest finished houses around here.
Mr.. johnson has also just completed
a large barn which Ed. will paint.
Art Merrick's little girl, Helen,
who is about five or six wears old.
was playing in the rain barrel one
day last week, when she became over
balanced and fell in head first. But
luckily her mother missed her about
this time and went out to look for
her and found her just after she had
fallen in and rescued her from surely
drowning in very few minutes.
Last Sunday afternoon Robt. Pol
lock hitched up his team to take a
buggy ride and he and little son were
sitting in the buggy near the bank
when the team became uneasy and
started to run. Making quick turn
they threw MIR. Pollock out, but the
little boy stayed in until the buggy
struck the coal box at Bisom's corner,
which it did with such force as to
throw him in the air several feet and
land him near the middle of the road.
The little fellow was picked up and
on examination it was found that he
had escaped with hardly a scratch, as
did also Mr.. Pollock. The team kept
right on going and finally landed in
barbed wire fence and one of them
was quite badly cut by the wire.
Clyde Bowen, who works Tor Jno.
Noon, came to town last Thursday to
get mower which they had had re-
paired at the blacksmith shop and
fastened it behind the buggy. On
the way home he hitched his team in
trout Of b. F. Greer's store in Oak
field. Mr.. Greer's son, Ralph, was
playing in front of the store at the
time and when he saw the mower
thought he would examine it and
went out where it was and was stand
ing by it when the horses started for
ward and threw him under the
machine. 1t took three men to ex-
tricate him from his perilous posi-
ton. When he was finally gotten
out it was found he was quite badly
bruised on the left arm and on his
sides and back. 1t was lucky escape
for the little fellow.
