THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION
COUNTS.
New Berne Journal.

New Berne Journal.
Few persons realize the Importance
of putting into practical use every
day 1.-the ounce of prevention"
The looking after the small affairs
in business, and the trifling matters
Of health, seem inconsequential and
perhaps annoying, when business is
good and the health is unimproved.
But when business reverses come,
or health fails, then will it be remem-
bered that the original first causes
leading up to the disaster could have
been easily averted by slight use of
caution, and little careful attention
to details.
At no seasons of the year is the
neglect of this ounce of prevention SO
seriously felt as during the summer
and fall months.
1t is the neglect of a community
which fails to protect itself against
disease Immediately after winter ends
that causes the physical illness OF it's
people to be reflected in the business
interests, which must suffer if those
in charge have ill health.
1t is the little act of neglect about
the premises, which gives disease
opportunity to develop, multiply and
take possession of the members of the
household.
The refuse pile is only small one
but it can breed germs of death. The
unused rain water barrel or cistern

River Navigation Closed.

Dubuqe. Dec. 12.-As the river navi-
cation for the season has closed, it will
be interesting to know the number of
boats and other vessels and RATS which
passed thru the bridge at Dubuque dur
ing the season. The draw was opened
the first time on March 2Sth and the last
boat to pass thru was on December 8,
making a total open season of almost
nine months. AS compared with the
season of 1900 the draw this year did
not open as many times. but more pack
cts passed thru this season than last.
while last year there were over 100
more raft boats than this season. There
is also falling off in log RATS this
season, but in lumber RATS this season
boats last year. On the whole, however.
there Is q decline in river navigatlons,
and as the years go it will be shown
more and more. as the lumber industry
which has been an important factor is
gradually growing less.

timated receipts today of 1900 trade

the strictly choice fat beeves Of rather
heavy weights. prices showed further
decline of 10 to 25
Hogs-The market is being glutted all
the time with light weight droves and
prices continue on the down grade. To-
days receipts were in the neighborhood
of 1000 and as 5000 were carried over
last night there was some $4,000 in
the yards today. Shippers took a few
prime heavy hogs early at about steady
prices, but the market soon weakened
and hogs averaged 10 to Is cents lower
with a slow trade.
Sheep-With estimated receipts only

Residence Of F. L. Goeppinger
Partly Burned. The Loss
Not Large.
Special TO Times-Republican.

Boone, Dec. 12.-This morning about
o'clock Boone was visited by the dread
fire fiend and much damage was done
Scarcely had this fire been extinguished
a second fire was in progress. The first
fire was the meanest one to fight that
Noah Harding said this morning that he
never was at a fire where 1t was SO hard
to get at.
The first one was i'll the shining par
lars of Lou Williams, on Eighth street.
1t burned thru the floor and the smoke
and water played havoc with the stock
of Mitchell Bros. on the first floor. The
alarm was turned in about o'clock and
the fire company was soon on the
ground with their apparatus and was
pouring floods of water into the base
ment where the fire is supposed to have
started. The shining parlors were run
by Lou Williams, colored. Men always
sleep in the room back of the parlors
and last night there were occupants, but
the first thing they knew of the fire was
the smell Of smoke. One Of the men
arose and lit the gas. Meanwhile the
firemen were trying to get into the base
nent with their hose and when the wa
ter struck the gas the flame was extin-
guished. This escaping gas added to the
fury Of the flames in the basement until
it was shut OF.
The fire spread and hole was burned
thru the floor of the building into Mitch
ell Bros tailoring establishment and
the smoke and water ruined every piece
of cloth in the place. The occupants OF
the rooms upstairs had no damage
done.
The building is owned by Mrs Martha
L. Jordan and the amount OF insurance
carried is So, $780, Mitchell Bros. were in
sured for $500 on the fixtures and $500 on
the stock. The loss to Mr.. Williams will
not be very heavy.
Scarcely had the smoke cleared away
from this fire when the fire bell again
sounded and the house owped by F. L.
Goeppinger at Eleventh Sad Marshall
streets was on fire. The house was oo-
cupied by Ed Bergman and he can give
no cause for the fire unless thatsit
started from the flue. After a short
fight the fire was put out and the dam
age will mostly be from water The
house was insured and the loss Will only
be light.

Dubuque, Dec. 12.-After separation
of twenty years from her first husband.
during which period Mrs. Pherters had
married three times and was chief
mourner over the biers of as many de-
parted lovers, she again became bride
for the fourth time yesterday afternoon
when she was joined in the bonds of
matrimony, for the second time with
her first love, julius Studenmier. The
above version of marriage performed
by him, was given by Justice Carney.
The ceremony was performed in the
drawing room Of the squire's home on
Eighth street at $50 O'clock. There were
no attendants or other evidences of os-
tentation attending the nuptials which
were witnessed by none but the offfciat-
ing justice and members of his family
twenty-five years ago the bride of
yesterday became the wife of the pres
ent husband; the marriage was solem-
nized in this city and for several years
the couple lived together, happy in the
knowledge that they possessed each
others love. The husband pursued his
occupation as plasterer and his wife
made the home which they owned bright
and cheerful by her presence. AS time
passed it became evident to their friends
that the couple were gradually becom-

of few short months from the time the
first evidence OF dissatisfaction appear
