Drs. W. A. Stern and 7. j. Billion,
of the firm of Billion & Stern of this

is worth those few thousands Of coin
weighs rs milligrams and is one
third Of a grain or about the size of
a head Of a pin.
The valuable bit of mineral whose
curative powers are said to be inval-
liable and not yet completely known
through the action Of the peculiar
rays which emanate from It, was
shipped here by express, protected
against loss or theft by insurance in
the sum of $4,000. In use by the
physicians. the radium Is first in
sulated i'm a silver tube which is en-
closed in another tube of brass and
then wrapped in rubber. The locaI
firm of doctors expect to retain the
radium here for use for about one
week. This is the first time radiun

Bic FIRE IS
SWEEPING THE
LITTLE TOWN
Of NARRENTON

A message received by the Mar
tins Ferry police at 4 o'clock this.
morning stated that the little town
Of Warrenton. Ohio, in Jefferson
county. ten miles above this city,
is being swept by the fire fiend.
Four houses had been de-
stroyed and twenty-five or thirty
others we're threatened. A high
wind blowing at the time made
the efforts Of the few volunteer
fire fighters ineffective.
An urgent appeal was made by
telephone to the Martins Ferry
fire department for assistance,
but this was found to be impos.
sibIe. owing to the bridge over
Dry Run. north Of the city. being
TOO weak to carry the weight Of
heavy apparatus.
At AIS d. NJ. it was reported
that four houses had been entire
Iy destroyed and the fire had
spread 70 fifth house. while
many others were in the path Of
the flames All of the houses
burned were dwellings.
Warrcnton is d town Of few
hundred population, on the river
front. in the southern section Of
Jefferson county. II is the juno
ton point Of the StcubenvilIe and
