Roberts and Mr.. Anderson is that it is

jority, and is now ready to present to
the house."
There was some discussion over the

would not if they were mere members.
w. A. Funk said he was glad for once
to agree with Brother Willard.

Dangerous Vertigo

Associated With Sense of Fullness,

ing Apoplexy or Paralysis.
DR.. A. w. CHASE'S
NERVE PILLS

If the person subject to attack of diz-
illness or swimming of the head, COM
monty called vertigo, would only stop
to realize that these symptoms are not
n disease in themselves, not temporary
ailments, but the plainest sort of warn
ings from nature of grave troubles of
deeper origin, of an exhausted nervous
system or of an oncoming apopleXy,
epilepsy or paralysis, the matter would
receive prompt attention. DR.. A. w.
Chase knew this and provided the cure
in his celebrated Nerve Pill, medicine
that brings back the glow of health and
strength by its power to furnish just
what the lily fed, half starved nervous
system needs, good, rich, wholesome
blood and nerve force or energy.

ger had narrow escape last week. He
was driving home from Vernon Center
behind team of bronchoes, and as he
stopped to visit with a neighbor, one of

entangled in the lines and the team
started to run. He could not Olsen
tangle his feet and was dragged fer
some distance over the rough road,
part of the time under the buggy and
part of the time outside. His long
fur coat topped back and protected his
head, but his legs were stripped of
clothing and skin. In relating MS SEN
stations, he said he knew he would not
be killed, as he was praying all the
time.

saved the company great expense. In
appreciation of this, the company pre-
scented the fire department this morning
with a check for $25, accompanied by IL
letter thanking the department for its
heroic work.
The American Express company suf-
fered damage from hasty handling of
its furniture in moving out of $3.50 to
5000. The building it occupies, owned
by William Irving, was damaged 5000
to $500.
A large part of Mrs. Phelps millin-
cry goods were removed to John Klein
& Co.'S store during the fire.
Six streams were on at one time. The
heat was so great that four lengths of
hose were destroyed The fremen feel
the need of more hose. The first thing
that Captain Vosbeck did when he
reached the fire was to go through the
second story to see if all of the occu-
pants were out, and especially the la
dies. He burned one hand severely The
halls were filled with smoke and the
deer knobs were so hot that they burn
ed his hands.
Drs. Beach and Dahl have leased
office rooms over the Overman music
store, in the Thayer building, corner
of Second and jackson streets.
Chief Beach states that the. great
heat against the other buildings was
caused by the fact that two sides of the
Glass Block were made of glass and
when they broke down there was moth
ing to shield the other buildings on
those sides or the firemen. He states
that no other building in the city would
be so dangerous to adjacent buildings
if it was to burn.
Totals Large.
Local insurance men today estimated
the total loss caused by the fire at
about $l50,000, and the total loss to the
Insurance companies at from $4,000 20
$4,000. This latter is three times the
amount of premium received by all
the companies last year.
