How to Make Money.

Not many people think of the fact
that there is no surer way to make
money than by taking your county pa
per, but it is fact nevertheless.
There is TO city in this section OF the
State that has dry goods stores equal to
Bellefontaine-in stock, style or prices.
Every man who buys a suit, every
woman who buys dress or q wrap, pr
q hat, wants to know what is fashion
able, what is handsome, what is be-
coming, what is cheap. By watching
our columns you can learn this, and
when you come to buy you will know
where to buy and what to pay. The
bargains that are offered, of which you
can take advantage, will save you
money that will many times pay the
price of your subscription to the RE.
PUBLICAN. Watch our columns.

Main Building Of Wooster
University Destroyed
By Fire.
CURIOS AND DOCUMENTS LOST
Glasses to Be Held in Other
Buildings Unfit New
Main One Is
Built.

Wooster, o., December 1.-THE
magnificent main building of the Uni
versity of Wooster, which has long
been the pride of every resident of the
city, is no more. All that is left of the
stately structure is the blackened
walls.
Fire, which was caused by an explo-
sion in the chemical laboratory in the
basement of the west wing, was dis
covered shortly before 3 O'Clock this
morning and spread with rapidity. The
fire department of the city was power
less as the pressure from the water
mains was not sufficient to throw water
into the first story. Before the only
steam engine owned by the city could
be put into service the fire had gained
such headway that all that could be
done was to stand by and see the cost
ly buildings burn.
The loss by the burning of the main
buildings of the University is esti-
mated at $3.50, 600, on which there was
struction OF the buildings the less to
the institution, by the burning of hun
dreds of curios and relics in the muse
um is one that cannot be estimated, as
hundreds of the articles can never be
replaced. This is also true of much OF
the apparatus in the laboratories.
All of the instructors suffered loss,
the heaviest falling on Professor W. z.
Bennett, of the scientific department,
and Rev. S. F. Scovel, who mourns his
entire private library, besides many
manuscripts which cannot be dupli-
Gated, and on some of which he had
spent years of labor and study.
President Holden was out of the city.
and on his return tonight was met al
the depot by the college band. DR.
Holden, since coming to Wooster two
years ago, accomplished wonders, anG
the collegisns feel that he is the mar
that will create greater Wooster Uni
versity out of the present disaster. Citi
zens and the Board of Trade held 6
meeting tonight TO devise plans to Sc
cure quarters until a new building car
be erected. At meeting of the facul
ty this morning it was decided to con
tinue the work of the term, and tha
arrangements be made for continuing
the work of the year. All of tn,
churches of the city offered the use o
lecture and class rooms, and as othel
buildings on the campus can be utilized
the announcement was made that tn,
institution would not be closed singl,
day by reason of the disaster.

It's Different Now.

When we were boy, small pox and
cholera, were dreaded as scourges.
Such has been the progress of medical
science and sanitation since then that
with the assistance of quarantine regu-
latlons, cholera has become reminis-
cence, and small pox is no more dread
ed than many other diseases.
The last appearance of cholera in the
country was two or three years after
the war. Some of the oldest inhabit-
ants of our city tell US that when Belle
fontaine had its last visitation by chol.
era the streets of tho village were de-
serted, and people fed from the place
in terror.
We have been in Bellefontaine for
nearly 81 years, and We remember bu,
two visitations of the place by small
pox, in that time-one when a travel.
ing man developed case at the Mil.
tenberger hotel. He was quarantined
at once, and 70 other case developed.
The other case occurred at the resi-.
dence of Jerusha Thomas, near the ole
grave yard in the Third ward, and the
cases were confined to that house, an6
there was but little concern about the
| disease in the city.
When we read what scourages these
| two diseases have been in the world
and see how the danger and dread o
them has been minimized, we hav,
some appreciation of our great iudebt
| edness to modern medical science, AND
we cease to wonder that the average
length of life in our country has beeI
increased nearly one third.
