Water supply.

Belleville, ILL.,, May 15.-Belleville
tirmen were engaged, Wednesday, IN
fighting the most destructive fire that
has visited that city for several years.
At IL a. m. fire was discovered in
the cellar of the Penn building on the
northeast corner of the public square.
The drug store of Kohn G. Ludwig,
which occupied the first floor, used
the cellar as a storage place for oils
and other inflammable materials.
The fire spread rapidly, and by
noon the drug store stock and in
terror was completely destroyed, and
the fire had damaged the second floor,
occupied by the Bell Telephone Co. as
it's central station.
Mrs. Louisa Hoerr's millinery stock,
on the first floor, was completely de-
stroyed.
On the third floor is Castle hall. The
fire had not communicated to the hall
at one o'clock, and the firemen ap-
peared to have it under control.
The insurance agency office of Hen
Ty 0s Film. WIN SdlC oCPoo'e 'Hoi"
on the first floor, was saved by great
effort.
Water pressure being inadequate
the engines were brought out, ant
water was drawn from the cistern'
which formerly were used by the fire
men.
The entire fire department was n
work, and it was only by the mos
strenuous endeavors that the uppel
floors of the building were say
from destruction.
The Tenn building was filled witt
persons who gathered to watch tn
progress of the fire.
Fireman William Nebgen, accom-
panied by Henry Funk and Adam Mar
tin, had a close call. The three mel
scalded the ladder to the third foo
and entered Castle hall.
The hall was full of smoke, whicl
soon overcame them. The men fell t.
the floor. In the small area o
breathing space near the floor the.
revived sufficiently to get back t.
the window and go down the ladder

FOR woMEN's TROUBLES TOO.

New Baden, I'LL, August 12th:-Mrs.
Anton Griesbaum, Jr., has been very
i'll. Female weakness had run her
down so low that she could not do her
Homework. She had tried many things,
but got no relief.
Dodd's Kidney Pills, new remedy,
which is better known here as cure
for Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy,
and Rheumatism, worked like charm
in Mrs. Griesbaum's case. She used
three boxes and is now a new woman,
able to do her work as well as ever
she was. Her general health is much
improved, and she has not single
symptom of Female Trouble left.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are making a
wonderful reputation for themselves
in this part Of the state.
