The destruction of the big warehouse
of the Lennox Furnace Company
standing to the north of the main fac

noon today, when fire broke out near
the south entrance. An employe was

an instant the blaze resulted.
The companys fire department was
on hand as soon as the fire started,
and was making good Roadway in con-
filming the fire to the building when the
city department reached the scene aft
er long run. The blaze was soon UNI

Ing damaged much by fire itself The
water damage will be the greater, and
this is largely confined to the tin pipe,
fittings, and registers. stored on the
second floor. The interior Of the
building was somewhat scorched, and
two holes were cut in the roof to get
at the fire. Aside from this the build
ing did not suffer much.
Until the stock is examined care
fully, it will not be possible to give an
accurate estimate Of the loss sus-

covered by insurance. The building
contained at the time Of the fire about
SIS, 900 worth OF manufactured fur

Time to Cry . Halt Before Panic
Comes.
The business spirit Is crushing out
the sweeter element OF home life. We
are in danger of q great commercial
decline, because men, as whole. think
only Of getting wealth.
There are thousands, both men and
women, who do not take time to eat
properly. They rush thru life, and as q
result we have an age of Indigestion,
nervousness, irritability, sleepless
nights, and morose disposition.
With the discovery of Mi-o-na tab
let's, there is no longer any excuse for
one to have i'll health from stomach
weakness.
Mi-o-na strengthens the walls OF the
stomach, stimulates secretion Of the
digestive juices, regulates the liver and
restores muscular contraction to the
intestines and bowels, so no laxative Is
needed.
Sick headaches, palpitation, bad taste
in the mouth, yellow skin, irritability,
coated tongue and melancholy are a
few of the many distressing results of
indigestion. Mi-o-na never fails to
dispel all these troubles.
Mcbride & VIII sell Mi-o-na in so
cent boxes, and guarantee to refund
the money IL the remedy does not give
complete satisfaction.

+ When a woman reaches 1.-The point

means to restore the fresh, charming
bloom Of the complexion of their

It Is quite an easy matter to mix the

than give this preparation a trial It Is

ed in Chicago for murder, was released
from custody this morning upon the
arrival Of Detective Eagan from Chi

not the man wanted, altho he bore q
striking resemblance to the murderer.
Takio answered the description quite
infinitely, with the exception that he
was little heavier than the descrip-
ton furnished for Yong Sou. A scar
over the right cheek was also taken
as mark of Identification. Yong Sous
scar. however was made by burning.
which was not known until Detective
Eagan reached the city.
Efforts were made late Tuesday aft
ernoon to secure Taikois release on q
writ OF habeas corpus. Judge Brad
shaw sustained the writ, but Chief
Nicholson Immediately rearrested the
defendant on charge of being fug-
tive from justice. 1t was on the
showing for the state than an infor-
nation was being filed in the case that
the court sustained the writ, the court
taking this as confession that the
state had no right to detain the pris-

no statute Of which he was aware
that permitted man being thrown In
jail on mere suspicion.
Detective Eagan says that he would

Editor of The Times-Dispatch:
Sir.-It was minated to me by a
friend OF the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch
that my article of the 4th instant In
your paper might be construed as a
reflection .on the Norfolk paper as an
advertising medium. I certainly did
not intend any Injustice by saying that
knew new "o any t ABOUT o the meeting"
The ad. appeared in the Ledger-DIs-
patch of October 25th, calling attention
to meeting at which was to speak
on political topics October Goth. I
requested in person that the morning
dailies follow the ad. up. on the 26th
and 2sth, respectively. but on Account
of misunderstanding the ad. never
appeared at all.
From the Indifference OF the people
as regards the election in Norfolk last
Tuesday. If they had read the ad. in
the Ledger-Dispatch on the 25th they
would have forgotten all about It on
the 29th, and that Is what meant.

Germany has a credit currency
which expands and contracts four
times every year at the rate OF S2.l2

ratio would give us SlSO.O00,0o0 o.

In reply the Springfield Republican

now; but it did not prevent the crea-

THE FIGHT ON ANDERSON AGAIN.

THE FIGHT ON ANDERSON AGAIN.
The resolution adopted last night by
the Central Trades and Labor Council
in which City Attorney Pollard was
taken to task for appointing Colonel
George Wayne Anderson as his assist
ant. will carry no weight with the
citizens at large.
The old Fulton riots are recalled, and
because Colonel Anderson, in discharge
OF his sworn duty, put down open law
lessness. he is characterized as an
enemy of organized labor. 1t will be
sad day for labor. organized or UNI
organized. when patriotic discharge OF
dangerous missions means political
suicide. In our government there are
no classes. We are all members one
of another, and lawlessness. whether
the sporadic acts of individuals or the
combined and applauded efforts OF
large bodies, is a wrong to the Whole
community.
