They could not save the building, and although the loss was not to exceed $100 it took from Mrs, Magner, who is quite oid, all she had in the world and left her without a home. The cause was a defective flue, About five minutes after a fire was found to have started in the store room of the hotel on the Pierce street side. The damage was confined to $100 on the building and $25 on the stuff it contained. The flames were ex- tinguished so quietly that the inmates of the hotel, many of them, were not awakened, The injured property b:longs to O. H. Simons and was insured. §5, now $3.25; $4 want them.

Wealthy lowa Widow Reduced the Arm of Weary Walkers by One, CLINTON, Ia,, Feb. 15.—(Special Telegram.) —A romance in which the hero is a genius of Weary Walker type has just been cli- | here by his marriage to a pretty and | wealthy widow, after a decidedly rocky cours: of truslove. S:veoral months ago a poor, penni- less tramp, George Reed by name, struck the town of Delmar, this county, drifting in | from nowhere, tired and hungry. Something in hs makeup or distressed condition pleased the fancy of Mrs. Ann Parker, a comely and wellsto-do widew of that town, and he found much favor in her sight. She teok him in, and together they planted shrubbery, hoed in the garden, walked in the twilight and sat in shaded nooks during many happy and bliss ful weeks. The widow had considerable prop- | erty, and his trampship helped enjoy it. All | went merry as a marrlage bell unt'l the| widow's relatives interferel. ut the tramp and his lady love were defiant and brooked no interference with their domestic relations, and served notice upon the werld to mind its own business. But the relatives were determined, and two weeks ago had Reed arrested for lewdness, and the court was asked to appoint a guardlan for Mrs. Parkers The tramp was convieted an the charge and eentenced by Judge Wolf to ninety days in the county jail. But his stay in durance vile was short. The buxom widow, having enjoyed his society for some time, was loth to part from him, so she ap- pealed his to the supreme court, fur- nished bonds for him In the sum of 00, produced a license and a_ clergyman and was forthwith united in marriage to the object of her affections. the max Bridge Carp nter Instantly CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Feb. 15.—(Special Telegram.)—At Dayton today a bridge car- penter named Sellers was instantly killed by a Northwestern fre'ght train.

At the matinee the usual scale of 25 cents for any seat in the house will be in force. Today Sadie Martinot and Max F'gman, and their elegant supporting company, will close their engagement at Boyd's theater by giving two performances of the brilliant comedy, “The Passport.” Of all the higher class of comedies that have been seen here at the Boyd this season, none can surpass “The Pase- port,” as performed by the Martinot-Figman company. Miss Martinot, as Mrs. Darcy, is simply resplendant. Her ablity to fully make the most of a character of this kind has been shown by her record of the past. There cems to be no woman on the stage today who can compare with her in presenting the sweetness and tenderness of a girlish dis position without making the character color- less or vapld. Miss Martinot occupies a posi- tion on the stage wholly her own, and has a legion of followers, One of the funniest of quaint comedians, and a leader in his line, is Eddie Foy, who will be seen at the head of hiz own company at Boyd’s theater for four nights, beginning Sunday next, in his most successful imper- sonation of Cluster, in the latest good thing in the extravaganza line, “Off the Barth.” As Cluster, Mr. Foy makes one of the hap- piest hits of his career, and as he is sur- rounded by one of the largest and best equipped organizations cf its kind ever seen here, his performance is all the more en- joyable. There are enough pratty girls, pretty costumes, pretty melodies and pretty scenic effects in “Off the Earth” to equip half a dozen smaller organizations, Mr. Foy is de- termined to be seen at his best here, and every stitch of scenery, as well as all the electrical effects used in the original produc- tion, will ba seen here. A special ladies and children’s matinee will be given on Wednes- day. The sale of seats will open this morn- ing at 9 o'clock. One of the special features at the Midway, Eighteenth and Capitol avenue, last night was the fencing, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all, and added quite materially to the regular atfractions. The new dance in Ca'ro street also came in for much worthy praise and was more appreciated than the female impersona- tor the night, before, There were new dances and sonfs introduced in the Irish vil- lage, a Scottish dance, with bagpipe, and all the accompaniment being added. These at- tractions will be repeated aga'n tcnight, and the management hope to have arrangements completed for others. Every one of the large crowd evidently en- Joyed “‘Our Own Midway,” as all were loath to ge, and almost all waited until the last parade was over. Tonight will be the last night and all those who have nct yet visited the Midway should avail themselves of the opportunity. She Used on Ax. Thomas and Alice Alklus were arrested yesterday for creating a disturbance in the Ainscow block at Fourteenth and Leaven- worth, They are old offenders of the law and the disturbance was started by Alice, who went on the war path with an axe, looking for her recreant husband.

L. H. Weller, gressman, well known “Calamity” Weller, owns farm mile or two south of town. Being a patron of home institu- tions and a granger at heart he had a cer- tain mount of hay insured in the Chicka- saw Farmers Insurance company last sea- son. The Chicago & Great Western rai'- road crosses a corner of his farm, and during the dry weather st summer a fire was started” that consumed an amount of hay estimated at a value of $200, He filed & claim for damages caused by the railrand company K the fire, and after a ume was allowed nearly $300, which amount cov- ered the losg upe the hay ineured in the County Mutual. At the was negotiating with the in:urance for the payment of the loss and or two after the date of settle- he was paid $100 for the loss by the insurance company, thereby receiving double pay for the hay consumed. When the insurance company ned of his having also received pay for his hay from the railroad they began action to recover back the $100 paid by them. His defense was that he was entitled to pay for damages caused by the railroad company's neglect, also for the amount of insurance, causs he had paid a premium for such insurance. He took the ground that there was no distinction between his position thar that which followed injury to a_person who s insured against accident The e was stubbornly fought, but Judge Fellows de- cided absolutely against Weller, giving a judgment for the amount of insurance paid. The case has been appealed to the supreme court.

They were locked out of some of the places, and in each case they formed in line and sung. “Glory to God,” exclaimed the leader at the first place that was found locked, ““we have closed one saloon already,” and they sang the doxology and moved on. Ten minutes after the proprictor was hand- ing out the drinks to his regular customers and_discussing the experience. The day’s work was closed by a call at the mayor's office in the city hall to tell of their shameful treat- ment by the police, and they found the mayor not at home.

From Somerville, Mass., Boston's wealthy suburb, Charles Cromber Bruce, one of the ablest young pastors in the state, writes: “Iam nearly 38 years of age and weigh nor- maily 158 pounds,at pres:nt my weight is 1481 My sickness took me down to 13414, so that vou see that T am getting back to myself, and, d willing, shall soon be there, “I have been a very s'ck man, but owing to the goodness of the supreme powers I am now on the royal road whose end is perfect health. ““After 20 years of exbessive labor in study- ing and preaching, I wis elected to a positicn in a high school in Boston, but the work told on me and I grew ill. The illness lasted for about a year and a half. But now I am so that T can see the end, and a more thankful man you never saw. A gentlemen who lived near me began to use Paine’s celery compound and it built him up. I thought of this and soon I was led to use it, and it has brought me out all right.” ST. THERESA'S ACADEMY. Mother Theresa, writing from St. Theresa’s academy, near Peoria, Ill., says that they have glven Paine’s celery compound a thorough trial, and found it to be all that is claimed for it. She adds: *‘We shall continue its use and also recommend it to cur friends.” REV. T. F. STAUFFER, The following testimontal from a man so widely known and beloved as Rev, T. F. Stanffer, pastor of the Faith Reformed church of Lincoln, Neb., is a most positive proof cf the wonderful medicinal power of Paine's celery compound and its great superlority over ordinary sarsaparillas, tonics and ner- vin “For nearly a_year past T have felt mys running down. My nervous system was grad- ually growing werse; I had slight symptoms of rheumatism, and was troubled a good deal at times with insomnia. T felt that something must be done, and concluded to use Paine's celery compound. After the first few days' use I began to improve, and I am very much better now. Indeed, I feel like myself once more. All symptoms cf rheumatism are dis appearing. I can sleep well, my nervous sy: tem is rapidly improving, and 1 believe a radi- cal cure s being effected. Paine's celery compound is a splendid remedy, and I can conscientiously commend it to the suffering in like cases. T further believe that if this medicine were taken in time it would eave many heavy doctor's bills. I have never us:q a remedy of any kind that met its promises 50 well and so readily.” EDITOR' OF THE.GEORGIA BAPTIST, Rev. W. J. White, D. D., editor of the Georgia Baptist, says: “My wife was in poor health. I think it a sort of general debility which caused severe attacks of heart palpita- tion. She was favorably impressed with Paine's celery compound and procured It at once. She felt benefited from the first bottle and 1 see a decided Improvement which s gratifying. We have spoken of this medicine to several friends, and several have already used it upon cur recommendation.” RECTOR OF ST. ANNE'S' NASHVILLE. Rev. T. F. Martin, rector of St. Anne's church at Nashville, gives his people confi- denco in the great curative powers of Paine's celery compound. He sa: “During the Lenten season last year, which, on account of multiplied services, is very try ing and laborious to a clergyman, T became o run down that I feared I would not be able to hold out to the end. Having seen accounts of the efficacy of Paine's celery compound in similar cases, I concluded to try it. I was soon delighted to find that it gave me new vigor, and by the use of one bottle, T was en- abled to get through the most laborious part of the eeason, including Holy Week and Easterday, with ease and comfort. I attribut my relief to Paine’s celery compound. I keep a bottle of it on hand and whenever 1 have a return of the feeling of exhaustion from un- usual labor I take a few doses, always with a pleasant sensation of relief, THE UPPER I0WA CONFERENCE, Among the many able ministers in the up. per lcwa conference none 1s better beloved by his church than Rev.

Hall of Mountville is one cf the best known ministers in southeastern Ohlo. Mrs. Hall, whose life was despaired of, was restored to health by Paine's celery com: pound: She writes: “The grip made a wreck of my natural good health. I suffered from continual headache. which nothing relieved, and from n->rvousness | which prevented sleep and caused me to have alpitation of the heart when startled by any. peeted noise or sound. 1 had distressing pains in my back and side, was constipated, billous and sallow complexioned. My pulse | was very changeable, metimes quick and at others scarcely peresptible, apif=tite poor, with a feeling of languor and weakness at time almost overcoming me. It scemed as if every organ in my body was diseased, and I was In despair of ever being well again. At times the grave seemed very mear. I can never de- ser'ba my terrible sufferings, and It would have been a great relief to have exchanged worlds, but like every mother, T would look upen my baby boy and cling to life “Not having much faith in advertis:d medi- cines, it was with reluctance that I began to use Paine’s celery compound, but after the first dose I slept well. My improvement was rapid; I took six bottles and gained between 20 and 25 pounds in welght, and now I am fleshy, ruddy cheeked and clear complexioned, the wonder of all my friends. I do my own work and assist my husband in his labors as a minster of the gespel. I always tell the siek and suffering what this grand compound has done for-me.” FOR ALL SUFFERERS. Rev. Percy T. Fenn, rector of St. John's at Boonton, N. J., writes: “It gives me great pleasure to commend the us» of Paine’s celery compound to all those who are suffering from nervous troubles, I had suffered for two years with nervous prostration brought:on by overwork and ex- ossivo study, and during th's time had tricd almost everything in the way of medicine, besides beiug treated by an eminent specialist in nervous dise but nothing help:d me until T used Paine's celery compound. This remedy has been of great benefit to me, and T ehall always recommend it to all sufferers.” The fact is, Pain='s celery compound makes people well. Try it and be convined. GEO. P.
