FIRE CAUSES LOSS
 IF OVER S10,0OO
Lack of Water and Apparatus
 Adds to the Loss
WAS ON NORTH HIGHLANDS
Mayor Drennen and Several Aldermen See With Their Own Eyes Where the Trouble LIes-Firemen
 Did Excellent Work.

Fire which started yesterday after noon about o'clock totally destroyed three residences on Fourteenth avenue and North Twentieth street, causing a loss which amounts to about SIP, 900, well covered by insurance.
 The fire originated from an unknown cause in the residence of T. L. Bell l42a North Twentieth street, and quickly spread to she residence of his brother, W. A. Bell at l43o North Twentieth street, and the residence of John Crane. l426 North Twentieth street. The stable of Alderman Copeland was also destroyed.
 Discovered the Fire.
 Mrs. Copeland discovered the fire. and called to a little boy to run to the fire department about two blocks away and give the alarm. When she first saw the fire, flames and smoke were issuing from. the roof at several places and by the time the alarm was turned in all three houses were on fire. A brisk wind was blowing and the flames spread rapidly from one portion of the houses to an- other. Four hose wagons and three steamers were sent to the fire, and other surrounding property was saved.
 The losses and insurance were as fol- lows:
 w. A. Bell, value residence, $sooo, in surance $500; value contents $7oo, no in- surance; T L. Bell, value residence ssooo value contents about 5000; insurance on residence and contents about $25oo; John Crane residence 5000, insurance $23oo; contents 5000. insurance $500.
 Acting chies Walton.
 Captain Walton was acting chief and he states that when he arrived at the fire in the chiefs wagon the three build lngs were all burning rapidly. He sent at once for additional apparatus, and sec ond and then a third engines with more hose wagons were sent. The third en- zine would have been practically useless, as the nearest plug, except the two in use by the ether engines, was nearly 2ooo feet away The nearest plug to the fire was two blocks away.
 / Mayor D-ennen, Alderman Gray, Alder man Copeland, Alderman Barbour and Alderman Cooper were at the fire, and were able 10 witness for themselves the need of more fire protection.

The average white man in too many cases does not judge of the growth of the race by the intelligent, conscientious, indus trious black man who Is quietly perform ing work for himself or for others, but is tempted in too many cases to judge the race by the shiftless, idle class to be found upon the street corners and around the barrooms. have always advocated industrial training as well as literary education for our youths, because l be- lieve that every boy and girl should have a trade, and in proportion as they pos sess trade and learn the dignity and beauty of labor, idleness among us will cease.
 Habit of Thrift.
 Tt is not enough that we STOW into bet ter ways of performing service, that we cease idleness but that we cultivate the habit of thrift, of saving, that we begin early to teach our children the value of a penny. No race that makes a practice of spending all that 1t earns, as soon

tical and pressing necessity which should have the attention and active help of both races in all large cities and that Is the maintenance of at least one first class school for the training of domestic servants. Such schools exist outside of the south in all large northern cities and throughout Europe and there should be training in the south as well. It is im- possible for Tuskegee to train such ser- vants-but 1t IS training and will con tinue training persons capable of serv- ing as teachers in such schools.
 "One of the fundamental essentials for the growth of any race Is the ownership of land and possession of little home As strongly as I can, l want to urge each member of the race to become the owner of a piece of land and build upon that land a neat, comfortable cottage, and make 1t just as attractive as pos sibe It is in the home in very large degree that the salvation of the race Is to be worked out

UNCOMMON WISDOM.
Sistersville People Should Profit
By Neighbors' Experience,

It's a wise man who profits by
the experience of his friends and
neighbors. Here is a chance to do
it, and every man, woman or
child in Sistersyille who knows
the misery Of a bad back, the ner-
vousness and restlessness caused
by kidney complaint or the an
noyance of urinary disorders, will
show uncommon wisdom to profit
by this citizens advice.
Frank Huff, who lives on the
South Side, near the bridge,
! Parkersburg, says: "My kidneys
were always weak, but during a
year the weakness developed into
something more serious, causing
a good deal Of pain in the small
of my back and side. Sharp
twinges caught me often, espee-
tally when stopping or lifting, and
l was so bad sometimes that it
hurt me to straighten. When I
took cold it affected my kidneys
and back more than any other
part, and I was compelled to do
something for it. I went to a
drug store for Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured me-"

Unknown to Women.

Every woman should read, without
fail. the following paragraph. She
will learn something about herself she
never knew before.
Thompson's Barosma is not only
wonderful kidney, liver and bladder
cure, but has particular advantage
rs q remedy for Chronic Female Weak
ness. Palpitation of the Heart, bearing
down sensations, Nervous Debility,
Leucorrhoea or Whites, and Dropsical
dwellings. It's peculiar advantage lies
In the fact that it is both female reg
'ulator and kidney, liver and bladder
cure. The womb is situated back of
and very close to the bladder. A wo-
man having any pain or distress in the
back or side at once attributes 1t to fe-
male weakness when many times her
trouble is entirely from the kidneys or
bladder. Hence woman making this
grave mistake will find sure remedy
In Thompson's Barosma, for whether
she is suffering from womb disorder or
any disease of the kidneys, liver and
bladder, Barosma will effect perma-
nent cure. For this two-fold reason
Thompson's Barosma Is the best wo,
mans remedy on the market. Thomp-
sons Dandelion and Mandrake Pills
should be used with the Barosma, for
the liver and constipation. They are
purely vegetable and do not grippe.

BrAia Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent adthsrities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food Is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish q particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, howevef,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by, indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine Of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, puri6es the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
