ANOTHER MYSTERY FIRE FAILED

McHenry, Miss, Jan. 27.-An at
tempt at incendiarism occurred We'd
nesday night, which proved abortive,
but the mystery surrounding the fail
ure to burn the building is beyond
the surmise of the shrewdest guesser.
Some time during the night, en-
trance was made into the old bank
building, the second floor of which is
used for a town hall, and where all
the municipal books and records were
kept. Kerosene was poured upon the
floor of the hallway and set on fire.
About a gallon of oil was left at the
foot of the stairway, as if to make
sure of the incendiary's work, but the
oil burned after being fired, scorching
the floor and walls of the hallway,
which failed to ignite. dying out with
little damage to building. The oil
in the can and the building escaped
without burning makes another won
der.
Still another strange feature is the
fact that the night watchman's clock
indicates that it was punctually
punched during the night, and one OF
the keys is located within three feet
Of where the oil burned and he knew
nothing of the attempted incendiar
ism until today.
The building is owned by the State
Bank of McHenry and is covered by
insurance. The only motive that car
be ascribed for the attempt I, is the
supposed intent to destroy the towI
& books and records.

great amount of interest to their many
customers. They are now giving away
premiums for the purchase of shoes at
their establishment. When a purchas-
er makes purchase there he is fur
nished with a card upon which a GER
tain amount appears, and for each pur-
chase this amount is punched from the
card, end when the card has been con-
sumed for the amount issued, a hand
some premium will be given to the
customer free of charge. These pre-
miums are quite out of the ordinary as
they consist of such things as hand
some beveled plate plass mirrors,
handsome coppered cuspidors of the
turtle back variety, handsome hat
racks, and quite a good many more
articles that will be appreciated by
the housewife. This custom was es-
tablished in the North with the dry
goods stores some years ago and while
1t brought great deal of trade to the
merchants, the customer was well re-
paid for concentrating his patronage
at a certain store. When making pur-
chases please ask for one of these
cards.
