How fire could originate on the Sec
ond-story back porch of Carl Ellingson's
building adjoining the Grand hotel, at
o'clock in the morning, with apparently
nothing to start from, has been the sub
ject of considerable speculation about
town. The blaze was quickly extin-
guished by some of the fremen who
were aroused by the waterworks whistle,
and no damage to speak of was done, ex-
cept to a cupboard standing on the
porch, which was somewhat scorched.
The fire started outside of this cupboard.
The incident is shrouded in mystery, as
there is not clew to the origin of the
blaze. beyond the strong odor of kero-
sene detected by some iremen who in
spected the place.

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-
ing and e1hilerating effects may seem,
for a time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles of the
blood are sure TO do great and lasting
harm in the long run. Besides they
beget craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.
Only invigorating and nerve strength

famous medicine for women. IL can
