A LITTLE HISTORY.

The tin shop destroyed was erected in 1845 by Timothy Jordan. The drug store was part of an old building moved here from Bedding by Dudley Squires about 1850. The old school building destroyed was used about 1849 as blacksmith shop. The POStOtfice block originally stood on the site of the Brick store, and was moved to it's present site in 1857 It was remodeled by MT Glover IS or 20 years ago. For these facts we are indebted to EX- Senator Glover.
 The big safe of Hiram lodge reposed on two beams on the second floor, and kept its place long after the siding had burned away. It finally went to the basement with a crash. There was some excitement about the time the fire got to burning in the store of Postmaster Sniffen. Boxes of car tridges began to explode and people began to rush to lthe shelter of the nearby buildings. Mrs George F. Fay l Tor displayed thoughtfulness in send | ing out to the men working on the | hand engines pitchers of steaming coffee. Charles Hawley expressed his appreciation of the Newtown boys fo1 saving his sheds by sending them a $2 bill for their treasury. It was pe- culiar coincidence that the people of Sandy Hook had been agitating the question of fire protection, and a few days before the fire c. F. Taylor had circulated a paper and raised S25O fol buying gasoline engine, pump anc hose.

MY STERY AT COTTER.

The Cotter Courier man has 'em bad. He sees mysterious light" just across the river from his of flee every night. and in the last is- sue of the Courier he gives the following account Of the mystery.
 Those who claim to have seen the flame say that 1t looks like a very large torch without a flame but glowing like a large coal of fire. 1t first appears near the waters edge then gradually as- cends the steep bluff, to perhaps 100 feet of the top and after lin gering there for a short time dis appears as though 1t had entered the fade of the bluff, which Is sol i'd rock and perpendicular for 100 feet. Each time the light is ob- served it's course and action is the same, and 1t is seen about the same hour each time. 1t has been seen by number of persons and is watched for nightly. It was first noticed less than two weeks ago. So far as known mo investigation has been made, and no plausible explanation IS given, but there is no lack of theories. l."

A CARD OF THANKS.

We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for the many deeds of kindness during the recent fatal illness of our father James B. Henderson. While all the love and tender care that could be glv- en could not keep him with us and while it is hard to give him up, still the remembrance of all your kindness to him will temper the grief death has brought. You did all for father you could. May God bless you in time eff need and give you kind friends and tender care, and lowing sympathy when the death engel calls for those that are so near and dear to you by the ties of nature. May God be with us all when We come to press a dying pillow.

 Warrensburg. Mo, has man who claims to be able to tell in- telligibfy the politics of any other man. Here is the method of pro- cedure: Get him into a wash room. The democrat will wash and empty the basin; the republi- can will wash and leave the water standing; the prohibitionist will wash in the water left by the re- publican; the populist will comb his whiskers and not wash at all; the socialist will refuse to use eith- CT water or comb.
 An exchange truthfully remarks that no young man has moral right to go courting with bottle of whisky concealed upon his per son. If he cannot give up whisky he should give up love. The girl who permits herself to be sweet heartened by a young ruffian whose breath smells like frosted sugar cane and whose attentions are divided between herself and d quart bottle, has no reason to ex- pect fair division of his time af- ter marriage. The bottle will get nearly all her husbands consider ation and she will get his criticism and complaints. Furthermore, she will be lucky if she doesn't t have to take in sewing in order to pay his fines.

DRANK COAL OIL.

Paragould, May 6.-The two- year-old daughter of J. W. Cole, prominent merchant of this city, drank a cup of coal oil yesterday evening and for several hours her life was dispaired of. Older chil- dren had been using the cup of oil to start the fire with, and the tot got hold of the cup and drank the contents. She was taken sudden ly sick and it required heroic work to save her life. For eight hours she lay as if asleep, and the only sign of life was an occasional gasp as if she were strangling.

Wakeful?
Sleeplessness Is a Sign of Nerve Trou- ble and Should
 Be Looked To.

There are three different manifesto tiens of sieeplessness.
 First, hardly to sleep wink all night second. to lie awake a long time before, falling asleep: third. to fall asleep soon,. waking up after several hours and thens find 1t hard to sleep again.
 They mean that somewhere in tic nerve flores. somewhere in the brain cells. somewhere in the blood vessels that carry blood to the brain, something is radically wrong, and must be lighted, or the end may be worse than death.
 To right it. take Dr. Miles Nervine.
 Some other symptoms of nerve trou- ble are- Dizziness. Headache. Back ache. Worry. Fretfulness, Irritability. Melancholy Lack of Ambition.
 They indicate diseases which may Ieaa te Epilepsy. Fits. St. vitus' Dance. Nervous Prostration. Paralysis. Insanity.
 Nothing will give such quick and last- ing relief as pr. Miles Nervine.

ROUGH ON PANHANDLERS.

Police Justice Higgins has determined
to make an example Of all professional
panhandlers who are brought before MIN
for soliciting money from pedestrians. A
law compelling New York magistrates to
send all men convicted Of panlrandlng to
RIackwell's Island for six months has
driven many Of Them away from New
York. and the surrounding cities are
overrun with them. Many of them re-
SORT u ingenious devices d ldas upon the
sympathies Of the unsuspecting pedes-
drian. One Of them happened to run up
against Police Justice Higgins few
DAYS ago. He had one Of his hands
bandaged. The Justice insisted upon
him removing the bandage and the man
demurred until the Justice put him under
arrest. 1t was found that the bandaged
hand was absolutely nnhart. The nan
was yesterday sent to the County Jail
for thirty days.

MADMAN KILLED.

NEW ARK, Jan. 4, 1905.-Four men
Samuel Redden, Charles Herder, James
E. Wilson and Thomas Murray are un-
der arrest on a charge of manslaughter.
Their victim was Patrick Corrigan a pa
tient in the Essex County Hospital for
the Insane where the prisoners were en
ployed as attendants. Corrigan was vi
olent and it is charged that his death re-
suited from efforts on the part of the
four men to subdue him.
Prosecutor Young while admitting
that force is necessary in the handling of
a dangerous patient like Corrigan, still
is Of the opinion that some features of
the case call for the closest scrutiny. He
will endeavor to learn why Corrigan was
permitted to leave his cell with but one
attendant near, and how he came into
possession of the fork with which he at
tackled the attendants. He viii also ask
how the patient secured the hammer
which was found concealed in his clothes.
Corrigan was man of great strength
and wicked disposition and was in a
frenzy of rage while still armed with
the fork He had previously tried to
kill two attendants.
Supt. Daniel NJ. Dill, Of the hospital
said the hammer had been used in nail
ing up pictures and Corrigan had prob
ably taken it while the attendants were
not looking. In the fight Corrigan's ribs
and breast bone were crushed in. He
inflicted painful injuries on the men who
tried to subdue him.

Mediation, however, is nowhere regarded
