SWIFT FIRE UNDER CONTROL
Loss on ST. Joseph Packing Plant Will
Not Exceed sixty Thousand
Dollars.

ST. JOSEPH, Sept. 1s.-Forty men were
overcome by heat and smoke in a fire
which threatened the destruction of Swift
and Company's packing plant in South st.
Joseph last night. With the possible ex-
ception of Alexander Mason, hose company
foreman, and George B. HeastOn, a fire
man, all are out of danger. The fire started
in the basement of the cold storage build
ing and 1t was not under control until 6
o'clock this morning. The loss is about
100000. The operation of the plant will not
be interfered with. Foreman Mason tied a
rope about his waist and went into the
basement to fight the stubborn blaze,
where he fell unconscious, and was dragged
out more dead than alive by the firemen,
Fire Chief Kane and o.. w. Waller, gen.
eral manager of the plant, were among
those overcome, but they have almost re-
covered.

The dc 'clared policies of the two great parties are more nearly alike than they hay" been for many years, and whichever party goes into power, there IS but very little danger of a serious wrench or shock Co the business of the country. All signs points to slow but steady and sure revival of manufacture and trade, and we believe this will go right on. irrespective of the campaign.

Good Cough Medicine FOR Children.

The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher,
of Ripley, w. Va, says: 81 have
never used anything other than Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, for my chill
dren and it has always given good
satisfaction" This remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child as
to an adult. For sale by Hays &
Field and Yellow Pine Pharmacy.
