MiIIiugtOn Suffers a Serious Loss.

In proportion to the size of the two
places the Millington fire is a far
more serious disaster than the Balti-
more conhagration of February z, as
pot only the entire business section of
the town has been wiped out, but
very large number of the residences re-
duced to ashes. 1t is a noteworthy
fact that the houses that escaped the
fire were mainly those of the well-to-do
residents and retired farmers The
population of Millington is between
600 and 700 and it is feared that unless
prompt steps are taken the business of
the town will disappear forever. The
home of Mr.. H. H. Loper and the
Methodist Church, which are on the
edge of the burned district, were
among the few buildings that escaped
the fire by the sudden shifting of the
wind. The Millington National Bank,
which was a new structure that had
been occupied only two months, is a
complete wreck. It is believed, how
ever, that the vault is uninjured and
that the contents are safe. Rev.
Ware, the Episcopal rector, and Rev.
Gardner, the Methodist minister, are
both tireless in their efforts at reliev-
ing the distress of the people. Post
master Wall opened up the pOstOffice
in his own house the next morning
and will continue it there until some
other place is provided. Included
among the buildings destroyed by the
fire are the two hotels.

Searching For His Wife.

William Vaughn, a coal shoveler
who is employed at Nahant, was in
the city Saturday seeking his wife,
vino ne says deserted him three weeks
ago. leaving with another man and
taking his money with her when she
left. Vaughn is a hard working man
and he says he is left with a lad
years of age. He believes his wife is
now working in hotel or restaurant,
and for this reason he visited all the
intelligence offices and labor bureaus
in the city, and learning nothing as to
her whereabouts at any of them he
has invoked the aid of Mayor Phillips
and the police. Mrs. Laura Vaughn,
nee Roberts. is much younger than
her husband. who is SO years of age.
She is described as having curly hair,
and wearing an upper set of false teeth
set in black vulcaniZed rubber The
police have a description of her dress,
height, and other characteristics, and
doubtless will find her if she is in the
city. Vaughn in his search Saturday
discovered that a woman answering
her description had applied for work
at the Windsor hotel as dishwasher.

which you have been struggling for
several days, perhaps weeks. Take some
reliable remedy for it TODAY-and let
that remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup which has been in use for over
80 years A few doses of it will undoubt-
eddy relieve your cough or cold, and its
continued use for a few days will cure
you completely. No matter how deep
seated your cough, even if dread con-
sumption has attacked your lungs,

The Diseased Spot, a Cure is Easy,
System Renovator Does This.
Guaranteed Cure

Here's something new! Isn't it reason
able to expect that medicine that con-
tains ingredients that act on every vital
organ is sure to strike the diseased spot?
And that when it finds it, if it is power
full and scientifically formulated will
regulate and drive disease from this
affected spot? That's the new principle
in DIR. Merrow's great SYSTEM RENO
VATOR, explains why it cures all chronic
diseases, (tumors and cancers excepted
when other treatments, that have been
guessing, have failed because they didn't
touch the spot. Banishes the lesser
troubles, indigestion, no appetite, tired
feelings, like magic. Makes you feel
splendid No risk, every one of the fol-
lowing druggists will refund purchase
price after trial of the RENOVATOR,
if it proves unsatisfactory.
