Fire Destroys Dwelling House.

The house OF George F. Lewis on River
street was totally destroyed by fire Mon
day morning. The tannery whistle
sounded at $500 and, although the house
is outside the limits of the fire district, the
fire department laid line OF hose and had
stream Of water playing in about ten
minutes from the time OF the alarm. The
fire had gained such Roadway before the
alarm was given that the building was
beyond saving, but the fire department
did good service in protecting and saving
the neighboriug buildings OF X. II. Tup-
per, T.. ID. Gilsoa and G.. w. Berry. Had
1t not been for the aid of the fire depart.
ment and the absence of wind, one or more
OF the adjacent buildings would certainly
have burned also.
The cause OF the fire was a chimney
burning out. Sunday afternoon the main
chimney burned out and it was supposed
that close watch had been kept during
the night, as the family of Mr.. Wilcox did
not retire until 10 p. m, and an eSamina-
ton was made at midnight and again at
a. m, when everything seemed all right.
Arthur Wilcox, the tenant on the
ground floor, moved out nearly all his
furniture. Eugene Perry, driver OF the
Standard Oil team, boarded with Mr..
Wilcox and had room on the third story
and lost most Of his goods. julius
Moriaty had been tenant on the second
story, but had moved out few days be-
fore the fire. Mr.. Lewis carried $500 iu-
surance with the agency of Guy Wilson.
Arthur Wilcox has taken rooms in the
house of Mrs. M. NJ. Whipple in the rear
OF River street.

One on the Editor.


The editor of the COURIER stepped into
Frank Martins store last week and greet
ed Frank -
"Howdy? Anything doing ?"
"Howdoo," (glumly).
Now Frank has recently taken display
advertising space in the COURIER, and the
editor was sort OF feeling his pulse to see
how it was working. Before he could ask
the question, says Frank
Say, what did you do to my ad. last
week Set it up that was going to start
an order team, heb? ?"
The editor Strengthened up and his face
grew tense.
"Whwhy, was there mistake ?"
"Shouid say there was. You just look it
up and see what | wrote. Have had the
whole town on my back here this week
everybody dropping in to say, See you're
going to start team | don't like it
much ~
Visions Of new advertiser lost; of dis
satisfaction with poor service; OF trouble
in locating the error, ali hoated through
the brain of the poor editor while he
leaned YEARLY on the counter. He no.
ticed the clerk leering, but supposed 1t
was at his discontinue.
The store proprietor went along waiting
on customers, while the editor ruminated
Finally the latter edged toward Frank and
asked meekly,
"Shsll we reset the ad. as-as you wrote
it, or will you send new copy ?"
Anticipating quick and decisive,
"Neither; stop the thing !"
The editors legs wabbled when Frank
said,
"Say, old man, was just joking. The
ad. was all right. wrote it as you had it.

When the EDITORS smile had contracted
sufficiently to allow him exit through the
door, he hasted to tobacconist's and in
vested ten whole cents in cigar, which
he carried tenderly to Frank and saw him
light.
