CURTIS SCHOOL eYMNAs1uM.

Last Saturday evening the fine large gymnasium of the Curtis school was burned to the ground with all the con- tents. About 6. 45 one of the servants came to MrLCurtiS, who was at the supper table with his school family, telling him the gymnasium was on fire.
 He at once, with all the boys at the table, hurried to the gymnasium, talk ing with them all the fire extinguish- CTS they had in the building, but on arriving at the spot it was seen at once
 was impossible to save anything, 80 the
 boys and many of the neighbors turned
 their attention to the other buildings
 to keep them from getting on fire.
 A hen house near by was saved by hard
 work, the boys of the school all work ing like beavers drawing water which the older 'OneS put on the building. The fire evidently started from the southern end of the building, and aft- CT it had burned up into the building
 and formed hot gas in the tightly closed building, it caused an explosion,
 blowing out all the windows in the several miles around and the heat
 from the building was intense. After the explosion which occurred just be- fore MT Curtis reached the building,
 the whole structure seemed to be a
 mass of flames and was without doubt beyond all control. Besides the loss of the building there was in the buiid-
 ing fine upright piano, 250 portable chairs, the fixtures for the gymnasium and all the shoes the boys used when practising in the building. The fire must have started about o'clock and
 it was nearly seven when discovered
 and by 8 o'clock the building was
 burned to the ground. MT Curtis es- inmates his loss about S5OO0, with an
 insurance of about S35OO It is thought
 the fire was of incendiary origin as there had been no fire in the building for over week and no one had been
 near it with 8 light of any kind for several days. There was large gath ering from all parts of the town to
 witness the coDflagration aud many
 worked hard. All were ready to give any assistance in their power. MT and Mrs l.. F. Curtis wish, though the columns of TEE BEE. to thank all for the good work done at the time of the fire in saving the other buildings.

There have been i'm itations, to be sure, but never has there been one to even compare with Allcock's-thew worlds standard exter- nal remedy.
