A Destructive Fire.

Fire was discovered early Monday
morning on the second floor of the
bnilding occupied by the Acme Drug
Company, and considerable damage
was done before the flames were ex-
tinguiehed. All the adjoining proper
ty was more or less damaged, and it
was only by heroic work that tho fire
department prevented serious Gca-
migration.
The fire originated from so;ne un-
known cause in an unused room up
stairs inst in the rear of the room
occupied by Mrs. Daisy Deane as an
art studio. The upper story of the
building, which is owned by Fl. e..
Townsend, was badly damaged by the
flames. His loss is estimated at about
$1,000. and is covered by insurapce.
Mrs. Deane's loss will be about $500
with no insurance. Mr. SniDes. who
Of the building, estimates his loss at
$3.50, with no insurance. The Savoy
Cafe on the fret floor was heavy
euterer. The lose will approximate
$1,000, which is partly covered by in
eurance. The Offices of the Anderson
Oil and Phosphate company were near
by, but the papers aud records were
saved without considerable damage re-
sultiDg.
The Acme Drug Company was the
principal sufferer. The large stock of
goods was Injured by the flood of wa
ter that poured in from above. The
company loss cannot be &C, urately
estimated Yor several days, but the
manager. Mr. LigOn, thinks the ,3ss

of the stock of goods. The stock or
hand exceeded $4,000, upon which
there was $31 600 insurance.

Dispensary Petitions Given TO County
Supervisor.

The petitions asking for an election
on the dispeDsary question were placed
in the hands of County Supervisor s.
D. Jackson Saturday. The committee.
to whom the matter was referred, had
the lists of petitioners thoroughly
purged to ascertain the real number
of bona tide registered vOters' signing
and thus to settle this phase of the
issue in the very beginning. Consid-
erably mora than the necessary NUM-
Der of qualified voters asked for an
election, and the county supervisor is
fully satisfied on this point.
A generel understanding was reach
ed sometime ugo that the dispensary
election would be ordered for the same
day that the election to fill the vacancy
in the Legislature takes place, and this
will be done. When the speaker of
the House of Representatives. formally
orders the Legislative election, the
county supervisor will order tho dis
pensary election for the same date.
The result of the election in Ander-
SOD County on the dispeDsary issue ia
f0regone conclusion. The dispen-
sary will be voted out. The large
majorities against the dispensary IN
other counties strengthen the move
nient against the "great neral institu-
ton" as the fight prOceeds.

Its being the best. No other will cure
