The fire originated in an upstair room in the rear of the building and the stock stored in this room was destroyed. Happily for the block of building the fire was discovered in time to avert abig fire.

At the suggestion of Prosecuting Attorney Clark and Sheriff Mudd, the county court made an order Monday that hereafter all prisoners serving jail sentences will be put at hard labor breaking rock and worke ing onthe roads. The order pro- vides that any city, town or district in the county can procure tbe bro- ken rock for macademizing by pay- ing for the rock and all expenses for guarding the prisoners while at work, ete. so that the county will be at po cost or expense whatever. The city council of Butler basa de- cided to make arrangements to buy rock and pay the expense of macademizing Obio street from the square to the depot, and there will always be a demand for all the rock that can be broken in thisway. This is a splendid idea, and the county court is to be commended for this long needed action. In thie way culprits who are in the babit of getting in jail will come to bave the same fear of a juil sentence they do of the penitentiary. and the eff-ct | will be most salutory, and this moch desired object will be attained with- out the cost of a dollar te the coun- ty. Our new sheriff and prosecuting attorney are making splendid rec- ords, and their promptness and success in bringing about this much needed reform ie receiving universal praise and commendation. C. B. Lewis informs us tbat he has raised by subscription $330, to assiet in the work on Ohio street. Many a wo- man sees the reflection of death in her mir- ror without really realizing it, and with not even a guess at the cause. Beauty wanes — eyes grow dim and black encircled —radi- ance fades from the skin—a leathery look supplants the soft peachy appearance—age comes before life has fairly begun. These are but outward signs of the death that lurks within. These are only danger sig- nals. Careless or too busy doctors make a | hundred diagnoses and prescribe for nerv- ousness, for insomnia, for indigestion—for a hundred different diseases. They are wrong —mistaken nine times in ten. When a woman fades—grows old, weak, sick—the trouble is almost always with the organs that make her a woman—the most im t, the most delicate, the most sen- sitive, the most vital organs in her whole body. They are so closely knit with the ta disorder here means and anywhere. Such the expert skill of the § a specialist is Dr. RB.
