Paullina, Dec. 9.-The drug store of

fire Sunday morning. The blaze was
discovered shortly before o'clock ana

remarkably short time our well-organ-
lied fire department was at the scene
of the fire and throwing a heavy volume
Of water onto the blaze, so that tho
fire was confined to the drug store

building. The heroic efforts of the fire
department, aided by the citizens, saved
the hardware and implement store of
A. Book. situated south of Fittons drug
store. The Bank of Paullina building,
being brick, altho one story, assisted
some in staying the flames.
The chief loss falls on j. T. Fitton &.
Co., whose stock was about Sc, 900. with
about $4,000 insurance.
The general store Of A Hanson suf-
fered greatly, but 1t is understood that
Mr.. Hanson's stock was covered by in
Fsurance.
Mrs. S. Paul loses the store building
occupied by the drug store. and the
same will be a total loss, as she had no
insurance.

worth of property would have been de-
stroyed.

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse This is soon followed by Pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and 1t will
dispel all symptoms Of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by all druggists.
