The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Hest Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either fatal onset Of
pneumonia, or complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The wige course for all is preven-
tion. BY wearing q Benson's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) you are
safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer
ing from grip, orirom the usual win
ter coughs sand colds. Benson's Plasters
are sure and speedy relief and cure.

Bruce will be remembered as the

the 21st of last December. The
forgery was not discovered by
Mr.. Folkens until recently. Neff
pleaded guilty to the charge, but
as justice could not accept
plea Of guilty wherein a felony
had been committed, Justice Col
vim fixed young Neff's bond at
$500 for his appearance for trial
at the next May term of circuit
court, but Neff could not furnish
the required bond, and was

concluded to become still more
hilarious after reaching Keytes-
vile station, and ran truck
across the Wabash railroad track.
The truck was struck by pass
ing train, knocking it into
smithereens, partially wrecking
the park fence and tearing one or
two boards loose from the depot
platform. For this offense Cook
was arrested and fined $3.50 be-
fore Justice VIM. P. Jared. Both

editor of the COURIER Monday,

been taught them will result in
their forswearing the evils of the

it was soon realized that the en-
tire structure was doomed to de-
struction, so attention was turned
to removing the contents, which
were about all saved, but in a
more or less damaged condition.
By the constant application CT
water to the rear side door and
windows of Mr.. Chapman's brick
store-room, occupied by Thrash
Bros. on the east, that valuable
structure was saved, and also
Agee Bros and Anderson and
Rucker's business houses ad-
joining.
Thrash Bros. had no insurance
on their stock of groceries and
meat market fixtures, hence re-
moved all of their goods and by
so doing sustained consldera-
BILE loss by damage to their wares.
Mr.. Chapman carried $500 in
surance on the Horsley property,
which, by the way, is where his
wife was born, reared and mar
ried, but places his loss at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
J. M. HALEY carried $500 in
surance, but estimates his loss
and damage to stock at $3.50
more than the amount of his in
surance. Mrs. Haley lost two
finger-rings and a lady's gold
watch, which she thinks were
stolen by some e-fingered
thief.
Fortunately the frame portion
and the woodwork of the brick
part of the Horsley house were
mostly native hard wood and
burned slowly. To add to this
favorable feature there was but
little wind at the time of the fire,
but Notwithstanding this, flying
sparks set the roof of Chas Park
er's livery stable on fire more
than.a block away and had burned
La hole about the size of a water
bucket, when it wac discovered
and extinguished.
Everything considered, our
people may well congratulate
themselves that the conflagration
of Mr.. Chapman streasureo
birthplace of his good wife was
not more disastrous.
NOTES.

presented showing why Keytes-
vile should have fire protection.

were burned to death. Their
home was burning, and they
seemed not to know what else to
do but be consumed with it.

Fires.


Giles Rice, who owns the A. G..
Stevenson farm 1 1-2 miles north
of Chraneville, had the misfor-
tune to lose his country residence
by fire about II O'Clock Tuesday
night. The fire was communica-
ted to the house from an old
fashioned fireplace, and the
flames had made such headway
when first discovered that the
house could not be prevented
from burning. The greater por-
ton of the contents was saved.
, Mr.. Rice had the building and
household goods insured on the
installment plan in the Continen-
tai Fire Insurance company, but
was in arrears on one or more of
his payments, and for that rea-
son will not likely collect any of
his insurance. The loss falls
heavily on Mr.. Rice, who has the
sympathies of many friends and
neighbors in his i'll luck.
Oren, the second son of Mr..
and Mrs. E. R. Dempsey of Key
tesville, made a timely discovery
of a fire at c.. L. Whites, a
neighbor's, about o'clock Tues
day night. Oren had started for
DR.. B. Hughes to attend his
(Oren's) 11-year-old brother,
Marvin, who was sick and
threatened with pneumonia. AZ
ter getting out of the house Oren
noticed that Mr.. Whites fence
between his yard and stable lot
WAS on fire, and at once informed
Mr.. White, who lost no time in
extinguishing the blaze, which
was then leaping about four feet
high. and going right in the di-
rection of the stable, and had the
fire reached that Mr.. Whites
stable, house and other buildings
would have gone up in smoke
and down in ashes, and would
also have likely consumed the
residence property of Mrs. j. P.
Tippett, occupied by j. L. Crop
per on the west, as well as have
endangered other residence prop
erty in that neighborhood. 1t
was a close call, and hair-rais-
ing experience that Mr.. White
does not care to have repeated.
1t is believed that the fire had it's
incipiency through some hot
ashes that had been thrown
against the fence. The property
was fully insured, but the loss
was so small that no claim will
be made on the company.
~
Keytesville Was thrown into a
furor of excitement about 4
o'clock Tuesday afternoon when
the alarm of fire was given, and
it was learned that the frame ell
i to the old j. r. Horsley brick
building, owned by George Chap
man, on the south side of Bridge
street, opposite the COURIER office,
was ablaze.
The frame part Of the structure
was built in 1882, and was pur-
chased by J. R. Horsley in 1886,
who added a two story brick
front, containing four rooms and
a hall, in 1851. So the property
was among Keytesville's old
: landmarks.
The fire had its origin in the
explosion of a peanut roaster
belonging to j.. M. HALEY, who
occupied the lower rooms of the
brick building, the east room as
living apartments and the west
room as grocery store. A por-
ton of the frame ell was used by
Mr.. HALEY for pigeons and Bel
gian hares and as wareroom.
The east and west rooms up
stairs in the brick front were
used as rooming quarters by G.
M. Dewey and wife and Mr.. and
