TnURsDAY NIGHTS FIFE.

at ~ o'clock last Thursday
night the slumboring city was
awakened by the ringing Of the
lire bell and the vigorous shouting
OF Fire! I'irel People rushed from
their houses to behold the skies
brightly iliuminated,and the smoke
gushing forth from what appeared
in the dense excitement as being
the whole of Main street.
On investigation it was found
to have started from an unknown
source at back Of the Emporium,
and before any measures could be
taken to stop the grim destroyer it
had spread into Prior Bros. harness
shop.
The large city hose was imme-
diately obtained and an immense
stream of water soon had the
flames under control, but not be-
fore it had destroyed both build
ings. But for the heroic work of
the men and the tremendous force
of the water the whole block would
undoubtedly have shared the same
fate. AS it is the loss is quite
heavy. Mrs. Hush, who was at
Payson, did not hear Of the fire
till Friday morning. She lost
$4,000 in all, with only $1,000 in
surance.
The loss to Prior Bros. harness
will probably reach $500 or S700,
with no insurance.
The harness shop building be-
longs to Mrs. Priscilla Swensen,
on which there was no insurance.
The FIRE also had its ludicrous
side, and had there come sudden
light it would no doubt have re-
vealed some very comic sights.
One lady is reported to have ran
eight blocks without realizing the
fact that she was dressed only in
night apparel; another appeared on
the scene wrapped snugly in a
dishtowel; men were there shirt
less, sockless, and what seems fun
nior still, they did not realize this
fact till the excitement had died
away What then must have been
the wild hayoc that reigned during
the San Francisco disaster.

paralyzed. Panic and CONSERVATION

escaped death and injury became fren-

clouds of smoke and vapor settle in

the awful calamity.

FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE
DIR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS TIE
BEST NERVE TONIC.
A Michigan Mother Preserved TO Her
Family by This Wonderful
Remedy.

When the blood IL impoverished the
nerves starye and neuralgia or some-
thing more serious swiftly follows.
Nervous people are generally pale peo-
pie. BY supplying through the blood
those vital elements that the nerves
need, DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People have performed those remark
able cures that make It impossible for
any nervous sufferer TO neglect them
with justice TO himself.
A recent case Is that OF Mrs. Peter
Morrissette of No. 3lb Eleventh street,
Alpena, Mich, who writes as follows
MY trouble started with childbirth.
After one of my children was born |
had II kind OF paralysis, | waa very
weak and my mouth was little crook
ed ] was always tired and was so
nervous that could not bear 10 hear
a dog bark or a bell ring--even the lit
tie bird In its cage would anoy me. My
heart huttered a great deal and had
dlszy spells. | was not able to be left
alone
My doctor gave me different kinds
OF medicine, changing II several times.
When IL was evident that he could not
help me he said he did not understand
my case. This was three years ago and
| was very much discouraged, when
my brother. who had taken DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills recommended them
&c me. tried them and noticed a
change for the better when / was taxi
ing the second box. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills cured me and | have been
well ever since. ] now do all my own
housework. sewing and washing for
seven of US have recommended the
pills to number OF people and am
very glad to make this statement"
The fact that DR. Williams Pink
Pills cured this stubborn case. as we'll
as others more severe, leave no doubt
that they will cure lesser troubles
arising from dlsordered nerves and
lack OF nerve force. They have also
cured diseases caused by impure or
impoverished blood such as rheuma-
tism, anaemia and after-effects of the
grip.
All druggists sell Or. Williams
Pink Pills or the remedy will be mail
ed, postpaid on receipt OF prize, 90
cents per box, six boxes for $3.50, by
the Dr. Williams Medicine Co, Sche-
nectady ~ Y.
