On the night of December 26, Lexr: Jngcon was visited by a disastrous fire in which about $20,000- worth of property was destroyed. The origin of the fire will never be known but it is evident that it must have been the result of the defective flue in the stoie of H N Kaminer & Co. At 12 o'clock there was no visible signs of' fire. Mr. Klecklev, the policemen wound his watch clock at that corner, and Mr. Norman Geiger, who was with him saw no signs of fire and at 14 mihutes oast that hour the fire had progressed to such an extent as to be beyond control. This writer did not retire until 12 o'clock and his clock stopped at 12:41, the time it was taken off the mantlepiece io his room. When he was awakened the flames were bursting through the roof of the store of H N Kaminer & Co showing that the fire must have originated between the ceiling and roof. This building, together with the green grocery of B K Kyzer and the dwelling of F C Corlev were totally destroyed. The -large store house belonging to the estate of W P Foof and occupied by J Goldberg and Co was in imminent danger of catching bat by bard and persistent efforts of the bucket brigade the fire was successfully fought and the buildiug saved. Had this building caught there is no question but what the entire business section of Lexington would have been destroyed. Too * mnch praise cannot be given to the men who so gallantly fought the fire at this point and saved Lexington from the flames. L The losses are about as follows: HNKaminer& Co., in whose establishment the fire originated, carried a stock valued at $12,000 and $15,000, and carried insnranoe on the stock to the amount of $6,000. The building was valued at about $2,500. with insurance ot about $1,800. B. K. Kyzer, who operated a market and green grooe^y adjoining the Kaminer j store, carried insurance to the amount of $500. His total loss is estimated at about $1,500. Frank C. Oorley, owner of the residence occupied by J W Ogilvie, carried no insurance on his 1 1 - T- 1 , . .__?! nouse, wrucn was vamea at aoouc $3,000. Mr. Ogilvie's furniture was damaged considerably. Kaminer & Oo., have opened up a nice stock of groceries and hardware in their warehouse on Lower Church street. They are preparing to erect a handsome brick store on the site of their old store. B K Kyzer has opened up his green grocery and beef market in the rear of Goldberg & Go's Store. Mrs. R. Taylor, of Crider, Mo., had been troubled with sick headache for about five years, when she began taking Chamberlain's Tablets. She has taken two bottles of them and they have cured her. Sick headache is caused by a disordered stomach for which these tahlets are esrw?cin.]lv ir?- ' tended. Try them, get well and stay well. Sold by all dealers. Card of Gratitude.
