Saves Considerable Fire
Damage.
BLAZE IN MEAT MARKET
That Was Hard to Get at Damages
Durkee Block to Small
Extent.

A fire In the Union Cash market in the
Durkee block at "A North Main street. last
evening, did several hundred dollars dam
age and created for the time being quite a
scare among the occupants Of that and
other wooden blocks near by.
Bat the prompt aud effective work Of
the fire department soon had under con
troll blaze that threatened much damage.
The fire started in the little Office room
located almost under the stairs that lead
to the tenements above aud had evidently
been sm0uldering some little time before
ii was discovered from the smoke that
found its way through the stairs to the
hall above aud into the street through the
doorway. The smoke was seen from the
street by Ed Cheever, who hastened TO
box 23 and rang in the alarm. The de-
partment made quick work ia getting to
the fire and Ia putting it out, although the
location Of 1t under the stairs made it very
difficult to get at.
The origin Of the fire Is not known, but
is supposed to have started from an oil
stove In the Office in the market
The damage by fire was confined to the
meat market and the stairway, aud with
the smoke and water its contents are near
ly a total loss. The ma ket carried an In
surance Of 81, 900 In Ballard's agency.
q. H. Wood worth's barber shop, which
Is separated from the meat market by a
partition only, was quite badly damaged
by water, though Mr.. Woodworth saved
his mirrors and tools Of trade only by re-
moving them.
Under the market is Wing Hangs laun-
dry which was damaged BY water, as was
also Huntington's City Fish Market, under
Weodworth's barber shop. Mr. Hunting
ton covered much of his stock with rubber
blankett His damage Is about 500.
The tenement directly over the market
was occupied by George Brothers, wife
and two children, and the one above that
by Frank Denis, wife aud month old baby.
Mr. Brothers had been ont to order some
wood and on his return found smoke in
the hall, He hastened up and taking his
two children, sent Mrs Brothers up stairs
to wdrniMr aud Mrs Denis. Mrs. Broth
ers was given the Denis baby to carry out,
but Mrs. Denis was frightened and faint
ed once or twice before she was led from
the building The two families found
temporary shelter In the Salvation Army
rooms. Later the Denis family returned
to their own tenement and the Brothers
family stopped with friends on West
street over night.

Of the season was experienced at Water

the river would fresze solidly. The oldest
inhabitants Of the town say they have new
er known such thing to happen. This

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have runb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing. and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL, condition, hearing will be de-
strOyed forever;nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which IS moth
ing but an infiamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.

BELIEVE REVENGE THE CAUSE
Everett Police Stick to This Theor,
of the Howard Case.

Everett, July 24.-Notwithstandin
the report from the King county sher
ifs office that there are no new de-
velOpments in the Howard murder
case, the local police are confident
that they are on the right track. Ac-
cording to Deputy Sheriff Williams
there is nothing to the theory that
HOwardd was killed by former pal
out OF revenge. He says that he
found but one person at Auburn who
saw Howard in company with another
man, but that he could not give a de-
scrlptiOn of the latter. He says that
he is working at the right end of the
case. but still believes that it will
remain a mystery.
The police say that they are conf
dent that Howard was killed for re-
venge, and they suspect HOward's
former partner. Accurate descriptions
have been secured of a man with whom
Howard was in Everett, and between
the two it is believed that a clue to
HOward'S murderer can be secured
The murder took place in King county
but all the clues seem to lead to Ev
erett and this vicinity, but nOtwith-
standing that fact the Seattle people
have not correspondent with the local
police.
