Fire Last Night.

Last night a short while before
eleven clock an alarm of fire was
.-lven and the locationwas as,ertain'd
TO he the Presbyterian manse. When
the fire was first discovered n small
blaze WIS burning i'm the North gable
end near the top Thesfames spread
rapidly and the whole upper portion
OF the house between the ceiling and
roof seemed to be on fire i'm a little
while. The fire department responded
promptly and did heroic service, bnt
1T was not until the entire roof was
burned practically that the flames
were checked
The piano and good deal of the
furniture and other effects were re-
moved. The lower floor was flooded
and people waded around i'm water
above their shoe tops until holes were
cut to let the water out Carpets,
rugs, &c.. were saturated and soiled
and Mr. Mcclure library Jared badly.
Articles that could not be removed
were piled up in back room to get
them away from water and far from
the reach OF fire as possible, and this
room presented pathetic and dis
heartening spectacle afterward.
There was 81 900 insurance on the
house. enough to repair the damages
Mr.. Mcclure had no insurance and
what he suffered in damage and loss
is a total one to him.
Mr.. Mcclure was away from home
at the time. Mrs Mcclure and the
children were alone save for the pres
ence of a Young lady who was spend
ing the night with her, and it was a
rude awakening that they had. The
night was dreadful enough outside
had there been no fire 1t was rain
ING and sleeting. the weather raw and
disagreeable. But there were warm
hearts and willing hands quick to
succor and to save, and that house
and contents were not total loss
and no life sacrificed is cause for re-
ioicing amid all the wreck and ruin
wrought.
Origin of the fire is unknown.

The Mock Court Trial.

But despite this handicap he handled
his side of the case admirably and
won praise from opposing counsel as

advantage of it.
Witnesses on both sides told their
stories which were humorous and lu-

Chavasse, and the bride. dressed in

gave her away.
The marriage had been announced
to occur on the seventeenth of Feb
ruary but circumstances arose to
change the plans. Intelligence was
| received OF the critical sickness OF the
| brides mother, in the Eastern part
/. OF the State, and the likelihood that
she would not recover. This would in
| all probability defer the marriage
| and rather than there should he any
delay in celebrating the nuptials it
was decided that the marriage take
| place at the time and manner indi-
| Gated.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Chavasse left on the

Millions of Lives Lost.
The Awful Toll Collected by Consump
ton.

II people could only understand that
Catarrh is an internal scrofula-that
nothing applied externally does much
goOd-they would not need to he warned
so often about this fatal disease, which,
when neglected, invariably ends up in
Consumption, at the cost OF millions OF
lives every year. Yet Catarrh is easily
cured if the right treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in the
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system External remedies give
but temporary ease. Although the eff
fects are often seen in the form of PIN
pies, rash, eczema or dry scaly skin, the
trouble is internal, and can never be
cured by external remedies.
The only way to cure Catarrh is by
employing a medicine which is absorbed
and carried by the blood to all parts of
the system, so that the mucus men,
brane or internal lining of the body is
thoroughly medicated, soothed disin-
fected of germ matter, and the soreness
healed.
We have remedy prepared from the
prescription of Il physician who for
thirty yeas studied and made Catarrh
speciality and whose record of success
was a cure in every case where his treat
| ment was followed as prescribed. That
| remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are SO
positive that it will cure Catarrh in all
it's various forms, whether acute or
chronic, that we promise to return every
| penny paid us for the medicine in every
| case where it fails to cure or for any
| reason does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall MucuTone
| on our recommendation and guarantee.
| We are right here where you live, and
| you do not contract any obligation Oh
risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on
| our guarantee We have Rexall Mncu
| Tone in two sizes. The prices are soc
| 81. Very often the SOC. size effects a
| cure Ofcourse, in chronic cases a longer
treatment is necessary. The average in
such instances is three 81 bottles. W

HAD QUIT WORK So
READY TO GIVE UP IN DESPAIR

Il was sick, rundown and finally
had to give up work. After trying
q number of remedies and several ply
sicians, | was just about ready to give
up in despair. l saw Vinol ad-
vertised and decided to try it,
and it has done more good for
me than all other means combined. 1t
has built me Up and restored my
strength until l now feel twenty years
younger, and am able to attend to NV
work again as usual" Job Jeavons,
1896 Lind street, Wheeling, W. Va.
The reason Vinol is SO successful in
such cases is because it contains tonic
iron and all of the strengthening
blood-making and bodybuilding ele-
ments of cod liver oil, but no oil.
Vinol is unexcelled as a strength
creator for old people, delicate children,
weak, rundown persons, and after
sickness-and is the best known rem
edy for coughs, colds and bronchitis.
We return your money If Vinol fails
to give satisfaction.

STEAL MARCH ON La TOILETTE
SENATE LEADERS ACT DURING
ABSENCE OF WISCONSIN.
Decide to Continue Present Commit
tee Assignments for the Extra
Session Of Congress.

Senator La Toilette has been expectin.
for several days that the republican lead
ers OF the Senate would try to pass a res
olution continuing the Senate committees
as at present constituted throughout the
special session Of Congress. The fight OF
the insurgent republicans, which he has
been leading, has been for the purpose OF
securing recognition on the committees
after March 4. While he and Senator
Cummins were out Of the chamber for a
few minutes yesterday the resolution
made its appearance and was passed
Senator Aldrich, as usual, turned the
trick. He had been waiting for the
proper moment About = o'clock Mr.. La
Toilette proceeded into the lobby to have
few minutes earnest conversation with
Gilbert E. Roe of New York When he
returned he found his chance to fight
for committee reorsaniza ton was gone.
1t is not the intention of the republican
steering committee to leave untitled the
vacancies on the finance committee, which
will consider the tariff bill in the extra
session. That committee will be reoroau-
lied and the membership completed As
Tor the others, the present plan Is not
to make any change until next Deem
Der when Congress will meet again in
regular session.
There has been much speculation as to
what effect the resolution will have on
Elihu Root and Theodore Burton, who
Will become senator's March T.
IL has been expected that both would
jump right into the middle of Senate ac-
tivities. but II they are not 10 have COM
mittee assignments-and 1t is not likely
they Will go on the finance committee
there VIII be little they can do until next
winter.
