There they discovered that the ceuse of the alarm was a small blaze in Vou Arx's boat house down on the beach below the COW barn.
 The formal opening of the new store of the Erie Drug Company last Thurs day evening drew large crowd of people from the twin cities, and par. took largely of the nature of social affair.

The new store is equipped with all the latest devices for the con. veuieuce of customers, from fancy soda fountain to a rest room for the ladies.
