Fire that was discovered at about
1880 o'clock this morning in the drug
store of Mrs Minella II. Dobson, at Lee
Grand, completely destroyed the build
ing and for a time threatened to spread
to the adjoining structures and cause
heavy loss. Fortunately the burned
building was of brick and the villagers.
who responded to the alarm with will,
confined the flames to the one place
where they originated. Mrs. Dobson
estimates her loss at $4,000, and she
carries insurance for about half that
amount.
The drug store, its fixtures and stock
do not represent Mrs. Dobson's loss by
any means, for her living apartments
were in the building, and she lost
everything co-tained therein. Mrs.
Dobson was away from home at the
time and when she and others whoWere
notified as soon as the fire became
known arrived there was nothing left to
do but use every effort to prevent the
flames from spreading. The restaurant
of G. w. Dean stands directly east OF
the drug store property, and as 1T is
frame building it was feared for time
that it's destruction would surely fol-
low. The Cummings hardware store,
the next building to the east, was also
in danger. The men of the town worked
with will to save the outlying build
ings, and with nothing to work with
hut buckets their efforts were heroic.
The burned building was without
doubt the best store building in the
town. 1t was q one-story structure,
built of pressed brick, and was nicely
furnished. The stock and fixtures alone
were valued at $4,000 and at this time
of ithe year the stock was naturally
larger than at other seasons

Loses $500 in Notes.

I. S. Rist, of Clemens, came to the
city Thursday night and reported to
the sheriff's office that he had lost ST.
500 In notes, portion of which Were
made payable to himself. The greater
amount of the paper, however, was in
such shape that it could be cashed
without suspicion by any one, and Mr..
Rist is taking every precaution to pre-
vent any one realizing on them. Mr..
Rist who is a salesman in the employ
of the Standard Stock Food Company,
has not the least idea where the notes
could have been lost. They may have
been dropped in a field, or along a
roadside in the snow, so that finding
them will likely prove difficult matter
All of the banks were warned and the
sheriff's officers will keep a lookout for
the paper, should any of 1t turn up here.

the Paley Sheriff's Sale-Stocks of
Two Stores in One This Year.

The work of transferring the Paley
Hellberg's store has been completed
and the array of Christmas jewelry

richness. Hellberg had already put in
an unusually large stock of holiday
jewelry, but the Paley stock was Of
fered at such sacrifice that Hellberg
could not let the opportunity go by.
He is now prepared not only with an
enormous stock of new goods beyond all
former occasions. but the low prices he
is offering on many Of the goods he
got out of the Paley stock are more
than extraordinary. Hellberg says that
the bargains in the Paley goods will
keep his store full of Christmas shop
pers and If some of them don't find
what pleases them in his regular stock
of elegant gold watches, chains, rings
and sterling silverware it will not be
his fault.
There is nothing so precious, so rich,
so lasting or so luxurious and accepta-

fine jewelry. Hellberg has long led the
race in rings. He offers this year more
rings for selection than all other
stores In this section combined. Gold
watches are a speciality, because He'll
berg loves a watch and knows its value
and will not sell an inferior article.
With his own and the Paley stock COM
bined he has this year more elegant
goods in solid silver and new and up
to-date novelties than all other stores
put together. Hellberg this year offers
the stocks of two big stores in one and
after the losses of the former partners
in their sheriff's sale experience his
prices are startling; in many cases be-
low factory cost.
