 BURNED OUT Fire Started About 10 O'clock Sun day Night and Building and it's Contents Destroyed

The Newark Mercantile Com pany's big building together with its entire contents were complete ly destroyed by fire early Sunday night.
 The fire originated near the cen ter of the building on the inside, and the flames had gained such headway before the fire was dis covered that it was impossible to save the building, and only very small amount of goods were saved in fact, comparatively nothing.
 It is not known how the fire or iginated. Some seem to think that 1t was the work of an ineindiary, while others are positive that it was not. The early hour at which the fire originated and the fact that there were yet a number of people on the streets, makes 1t hardly probable that the building was set on fire.
 The theory advanced by Mr. Whiting, the general manager of ] the company, Is that the fire was  caused by a mouse cutting q match. \ large quantity of matches were stored near where the fire is thought to have originated. A large quantity of goods were be- ing handled, and in packing and lunpacking, shavings had likely been allowed to accumulate in l that part of the building. \ large quantity of coal oil WIS also stored i in that section of the building, and 1t seems probable that the fire might have been started by a mouse.
 EXPLOSIONS ADD FURY TO FLAMES.
 1t was only few minutes after the alarm was given until q large crowd had gathered, but the fire was spreading so rapidly that it was impossible to extinguish the flames. Some tanks of oil and pow der exploded, before any effectual work could be accomplished, blow ing an immense hole through the roof and thus assisting the angry l flames in their work of destruc- ton. The crowd was powerless, and could only stand and look on.
 LOSS AND INSURANCE.
 The loss on the stock, building and fixtures is between S7 300 and S8. GOO; insurance, S4, 200.
 The building was a large one and was only recently completed.
 WILL BE REBUILT.
 Mir. Whiting was cut at Hazel Grove when the fire occurred, and as there is no telephone connec- tions with that place, he knew nothing of the fire until he reach ed Cord coming home Monday morning.
 Upon his arrival he was seen by q Journal representative, but would give out no statement con corning the fire. However, he in- formed us on Tuesday that the building would be rebuilt and the business resumed Us early as possi- ble.

CLASH BETWEEN MINERS.

Spadra, Ark, July 25.-fhe importation of Italian and GIeek coal miners from Pennsylvania, by the carload, to work in the mines in this district has stirred the American miners and citizens to q high pitch, and a public mass meeting, held by the resident min CTS aud farmers, resulted in the Italians and Greeks being notified to leave the district by midnight, the 25th. If they failed to conn ply 1t was stated they would be marched out by force.
 The Italians and Creeks did not go. and are determined to stay. and trouble of a serious character is expected. The miners make nc fight on Americans that come, but are going to resist an invasion oI foreign laborers, and take the law in their own hands to secure that end if necessary
 Bloodshed seems imminent.

 To the County Examiner aud teachers of Independence County, Ark.
 Your committee on teachers salaries. ask leave to make the fol- lowing report:
 We find that there has been q l general increase of teachers sala- ries. in most of the Districts throughout the county, an increase commensurate with the increase of the revenue and in obedience to the willingness and demand of the electors in the different school districts.
 We commend this spirit as a move in the right direction and believe that this increase will prompt a feeling of encourgage- mentor the part of teachers to bet terqualify themselves and to fulfill the noble objects and aims suita ble to their avocation.
 Ne recommend that this in- crease of salaries be continued and fully believe that such will be done whenever the revenues and funds will justify and permit of such in- crease.
 We recommend that it is the du- ty of each and every teacher to contribute whatever he can reason- ably for the advancement and i'm provement of teachers.
 We recommend that all the teachers should cooperate with each other and work in harmony for their betterment and the im- proyement of the schools.
 We further recommend that 1t shall be considered unprofessional for any teacher to disregard their duties in this respect.

BRADLEY MARTIN STARTS
BOOM IN HIGHLAND kits.
From a star Correspondent

Edinburgh, Dec. 3.-From one of the
craft, / learn that Scotch tailors have
an American to thank for a sudden
boom in a particularly wellpaying
branch of their trade. Since young
Bradley Martin distinguished himself
by appearing in Highland kits on his
wedding day quite a number OF orders
have been received my makers Of the
national costume. who believe a real
revival in kilt-wearing is coming and
are correspondingly elated.
Fashionable kits are expensive gar
ments. The materials employed are
costly, and only skilled hands who have
served long apprenticeship at the
work, are competent to make them. In
consequence OF the sudden boom"
many workmen In "tartans," who for
some time have had to content them
selves with poorly paid labor in the
army clothing factories in London,
where uniforms for the Highland Regi-
ments are made, have crossed the
Tweed again and are finding steady
employment at excellent wages In the
fashionable Quitting establishments Of
Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness.
While the canny Scots openly ridi-
Guile the taste displayed by American
sojourners in their midst who insist on
arraying themselves in Highland garb,
they have a shrewd appreciation Of the
money to be made by ministering to
their folly and devoutly hope that next
season every American who shoots over
a Scotch moor VIII feel IL incumbent
on him to wear gIorified kits.

NOAH'S ARK REBUILT.
Danish Engineer Believes He Has
Produced AN Exact Model of the
Biblical Craft.

btbiicaI Craft.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Copenhagen, Dec. An. Vogt, q
Danish engineer. has attempted to
produce an exact model of Noah's ark.
To assist him in his task, M. Vost
had special TRANSACTIONS made by dis
tlnguished Hebrewists OF passages out
Of the Hebrew scriptures relating to
the ark. and got ideas, too, from a
representation Of Noahs craft on a
coin dated 800 b. c., which is the
property of a museum In Copenhagen,
Owing to the methods employed in
its construction, doubt was expressed
from the first as to whether M. vogt's
craft would ahoat at all--let alone
prove seaworthy in a blow" Popu-
lar tncredulity and rldicule, however,
disturbed the builder not at all, and
now he has good cause for satisfac-
ton for his crafts trial trip, the 9TH
er day, provide a complete success.
Carrying as passengers it's designer,
several engineers, and large party
or newspaper men, the ark not only
showed itself perfectly seaworthy, but
moved lightly and quickly through the
water In fact, experts have de-
clared that, in spite of her rudlmen-
tary design, the strange vessel is
steadiest craft ever seen on the high
seas.
AS nearly as NJ. Vogt is able to
judge, his vessel is one-tenth the size
Of the original Noah's Ark, and is of
about 200 tons burden. Entering by one
of the side ports, one finds surpris-
ing amount Of cabin space despite the
low sloping sides. AS the craft rides
high in the water, plenty Of light
comes through the large port holes in
the sides, which can be left open for
ventilation when the sea is smooth.
OF course the ark Is simply built and

Marriage, Limited. BY Frank H.
Wakefield. New York: The Neale
Publishing Company Cloth; price,
$3.50.
A celebrated English novelist recent
ly advocated limited marriage as a
possible solution of the divorce prob
lem. The suggestion started a food
tide of discussion. This book must
have been written in advance of the
Englishmens published proposition; yet
1t deals with the idea that he had in
mind-marriage for a limited period of
time. The manner in which Mr.. Wake
field handles his subject is at once
amusing and serious. The story is
both a novel and a sociological study.
1t pleases the fancy and instructs the
mind At the end of it the reader
hardly knows whether he has been to
school or to the play; but he is pleased
to have gone. 1t IS possible that this

Interesting Information Regarding a
Simple Way of Restoring Health
to All Sick Women.


Especial to the Morning News.)
New York, Dec. Sit is a bold man
who will venture to break away from
all the traditions of the medical pro-
fession, and give the public a few plain
1acts in language that they can I'M
derstand.
Yet that is what am going to do.
What l have to say will be addressed
to all women-young women, wives,
mothers. grandmothers.
But men who have women folks.
whose health may depend on their
care or advice, will also find these
fectS of value.
| want you, my friend, to bear in
mind one thing:
No woman should ever consent to
suffer pain.
Life is hard enough, in its worries
and fears, without the additional tor
ture of pain.
Some people say Pain is a symp-
tom.
But I say it is a disease.
1t is quivering of the nerves, which
can be set at rest by the proper medi-
cine.
Understand me; l am not advocating
the use of a Pain Reliever-but
Pain Cure.
Wine of Cardui is a cure for wom-
ems pains.
1t is the only one.
If you try it. you will see.
You know something about the
| nerves
One OF their main functions is to act
upon the blood vessels and to so
act upon them as to insure that the
| tissues are properly fed the waste and
repair of the body properly balanced,
perfect health properly maintained.
| Wherever there is a blood vessel
there is also tiny nerve, like a pa
trolman. policing his beat and keeping
traffic open.
Every now and then-if something is
wrong-he calls up central and re-
ports.
! You feel the bell ring.
1t sounds to you Ikea Pain.
Meantime there is great activity
throughout your body, one-tenth of
which you hardly feel.
The desk sergeant in your head fills
up patrol wagon with white blood
cells-disease quellers-and down they
rush to the seat of trouble.
Oh, there are a thousand intricate
little things done, that it would take
book to tell, and which all mean one
thing.
Your natural life forces are trying
to get rid Of the trouble.
When they are too weak to do this,
the Pain continues, gets worse maybe,
lasts, perhaps, off and on, all your
life.
What to do?
Take Wine of Cardui.
1t is a reinforcement of your nat
ural forces.
That's all.
Yes; but it's enough.
Wine of Cardui is a cure for Wom-
ems Pains. because it is a medicine
which acts upon the special nerve cen
tiers, which, in a woman, by reason of
her special womanly functions. are
most often in a weakened and untonic
condition.
For this reason it is a womans med
icine.
Because it is a woman's medicine, it
acts upon every woman with an al
most marvellous, tonic, strengthening
| recuperative effect.
1t relieves-cures-wo pains.
1t regulates womens forces and
| functions.
1t banishes womens nervous irrita-
bility
1t brings back women's smiles, roses,
bushes, complexion, strength.
| 1t aids mothers to stand mother
| hoods trials.
1t helps housewives to find work a
| pleasure.
1t assists girls and young women to
| study, grow and enjoy life, as never
| before.
In fact, in every condition, age, or
state of life, women will find, in Wine

scientific aid to health and happiness.
