Eagle Hotel Burned.

The old Eagle hotel, situated on
West Main street, was burned to
the ground last Sunday evening.
The flames were first discovered at
about seven O'Clock, and at that
time had gained considerable head
way in the lower center of the struc-
ture.
The fire boys arrived soon after
the alarm, but all that could be done
was to prevent the flames from be-
ing communicated to surrounding
buildings. The fire is supposed to
have been started by the explosion
of kerosene lamp.
The house, which was owned by
M. d. Henry, was occupied by the
family of John Young, and a num-
Der of roomers. The house was in
sured for $1,000, which will nearly
cover Mr.. Henry's loss. Mrs.
Young had $3.50 insurance on her
household goods, but her loss foots
up total of over $IIoo. The eff
fects of the roomers were also total
loss, without insurance.
The Eagle hotel was constructed
i'll 1892 by Frank Burnam, being
purchased by Mr.. Henry only few
months ago. Mr.. Henry has not
yet decided whether or not he will
rebuild, but it is probable he will
do so in the settled weather of the
spring.

It is said that to forget is more noble
than to forgive. One is q human possibil.
ity, and the other divine. Christian forget
oblivion. One may know q thing, and yet
be ignorant OF it. God cannot forget in the
sense of being ignorant of the past. Om-
niscience involves all times and things.

all that he once suffered. The furies are
aroused to their maddest passions every
time the incident is related. And, further,

most direct way Of creating a suspicion

one-sided. There il usually n shadow on

are not present. It requires q strong man
to forget. As one is able to do this he ap-
proaches the divine. The best way to for.

Tho Spiritual Kingdom.

Intellectual doubt goes deeper down
than the intellect, nor will intellectual
clearncss cast it out. Unless the heart be
settled in Christ, the intellect may go on

spiritual kingdom that gives laws to all the
rest: they depend upon it, not it upon
them.-William +. Stevenson.
