ment:-
The Carnival committee have made
sufficient progress in settling up the
meny bills and expenses incident to
the Carnival to be able to announce
that the net proceeds will be between
$500 and $780, ss.. ss~s.
They recognize that this success is
due to the splendid support given the
enterprise by the people, the Traction
Company and its officers, the liberal
ity Of the merchants and farmers and
the time and labor SO eheerfully given
by the many who assisted during the
busy week, and desire to thank all
who in any way we're identified with
it.
This sum will enable the Directors
to pay all outstanding bills and give
them brief breathing spell before
deviaing the next method lof raising
money for the institutions needs.
The work of the Hospital is con-
tinuous, the majority Of the patients
being unable 60 pay for their care
and the providing Of funds must also
be continuous. What the Hospital has
done the last year can be seen in the

discouraged, showing oommendahle
vigor in putting the plant back in
good shape.
The company has spent considerable
money druing the summer in making
improvements to the plant. and this

was assisted much by Lorenzo Davis,
who came over from the Crystal Ice
plant.
Frank Gibson, Immediately the fire
blazed forth, hurried to the oil tank
and quickly shut off the oil, thus pre-
venting greater disaster.
David Mcbride. Isaac Nelson and
Samuel Gallagher were among others
who did especially good work.

fire and was entirely overcome and
had to be carried from the factory.

$4,000 FIRE AT CARMAL,

Flames at Carmel Saturday morning
wiped out property estimated to be
valued at $4,000 aud as a result Of q
great factory being destroyed, sixty
five persons are temporarily out of
employment.
Isaac Rosen for some time has been
operating the large factory at Carmel
which is owned by the Baron De
Hirah Fund, the manufacture Of coats
being carried on there quite exten-
sively.
The plant was in full operation yes
terday, and prosperity smiled beam
ingly upon the enterprise.
| 1t was is O'Clock this morning
when some one discovered fire in the
structure. The flames were in the
northwest corner Of the building, "a
J part of the structure which was used
solely for the storing of manufactured
coats. With startling rapidity the
flames spread carrying throughout the
whole structure and destroying every
thing within its wake. Nothing was
/ saved, the fierce heat of the flames
driving back those who attempted to
snatch something from the danger
threatening. The building was frame
and with the highly oomhustible
material within made confagration
| that was remarkable for the quick
work of destruction.
| Some little distance from The factory
was barn of Fred HeIder and very
/ quickly was this burned to tie
ground, entailiDg loss Of 5000. The
house of Herder was threatened, Ia
fact it was attacked. sparks firing the
roof, but Frank and Leslie Miller.

AL Carmel was fighting the fire,
preventing its spread, protecting the
surrounding homes. There were four
hundred people about the streets and
under the leadership Of Jacob Sobel-
man prevented the village from being
wiped out Of existence One hundred
feet from the main factory structure
was thirty gallon can filed with
gasoline, aud the fire fighters managed
to protect this danger point success
fuliy,
The entire factory with Its every
contents was destroyed absolutely.
| Mr.. Rosen, when seen this morning,
estimated his loss at possibly s25. 600
and said there was but $1,000 insurance
upon the plant, 800 on the building
and $500 upon the stock and fixtures.
There were in the building at the
time of the fire 1400 manufactured
coats. all of which were destroyed.
A large number of them had been
packed for shipment yesterday, but
the carriers had failed to call for them
and their loss is added to the burden
to be carried by the owner.
| But last Spring a So, 500 addition
had been built to the plant and large
amount of machinery had been put in
the building, and further increase of
capacity had been planned.
The building was three story

being entirely occupied with manu-
featuring,
Mr.. Rosen said to-day that he fully
intended to replace the plant as soon
as the insurance could be adjusted and
plans prepared for the work
Immediately the fire was controlled
Carmel arose to the occasion and a
volunteer fire department. was formed.
Mr.. Rosen promptly made 5000 con-
tribution toward securing the proper
equipment to battle with the flames.

No other medicine gives such prompt
relief as Hyomei in the treatment of

Immediately after the robbery, the men
ran away. Mr.. Green notified the police
and the detectives were hard at work
within a few minutes of the time the
robbery occurred. but up to 3 o'clock the
officers had failed 10 find the men.
The robbery was a rather bold one. The
loop is directly under an arc light at a
point of considerable travel and there are
many residences within a few steps of the
Top. The car had no passengers when it
reached the end of the line and the man
knew that th.- We're in no danger of being
seen by any Except the motorneer.
Mr. GTabif was quite painfully injured
on account 81 the brutal trea tment he re-
ceived at the hands of the robbers. He
was turning the loop when suddenly a
man grabbed him by the coat collar from
inside the ear and a man cTawled over
the gate OF the vestibule. The Sl5.S5 be-

making change for passengers. 1t is not

Cataracts

Are cured without the use of a knife.
Prof. Samuels has published from time to
time names of persons that he cured of
cataTacts with his secret remedies. Here
is published another name, of a well
known lady in Halstead, Kan, Mrs. Dan
Wright She went blind in one eye with
a cataract some time ago. The occulist
advised her as soon as the cataract was
formed on the other eye to come and
have an operation performed. She read
a testimonial from Ex-Governor st. Johns
wife, who was cured of a cataract by
Prof. Samuels with his remedies. She
thought il was the safer way of treat
ing. She called on Prof. SamuelS a few
months ago and is glad TO say the cata-
ract which formed last is entirely cured.
She can see and read the finest of print
with perfect case. She wishes to have it
published for the benefit of others. Prof.
