A WARNING,
We wieK'to call the attention c
the Town Authorities to a number c
bitizens having their homes connect
ed with the sewer. Every munic
pality that has sewerage has ver
strict laws about ;this class of wor
and is only allowed after a close it
m
spection. The plumbing done her<
tofore in our town has been done b
contract without close inspection an
wc have doubts if half a dozen jol
will stand even a mild test. Few <
those having the work done kno
anything about it, and if the work
allowed to proceed in the way it hi
started we may have an epidemic <
typhoid fever or some other troub
and wonder where it came from.
The insidious sewer gas has i
' smell or color and being one of tl
lightest gases ever known, may se<
' through the smallest opening ai
find its victim,
We do not care to oriticise t
Sewerage Commissioners or Tov
Council, but one of these bodl
)
should take the matter In hand 1
fore it is too late.

IFIRE AND PANIC I
IN A THEATRE.!
Hundreds of People Killed and j
Their Bodies Mangled.

Work and a Volume of Flame is
Blown Across the Orchestra and
into the Balconies, Burning the
People in their Seats and Causing
a Terrible Panic.
About five hundred and fifty people
were killed In ten minutes Wednesday
afternoon during a fire in the
Iroquois Theatre, the newest, the
largest and, as far as human power
coulc^ make it, the safest thoatre in
Chicago. Estimates of the dead and
Injured vary. The police account of
the dead is 58(5. The estimates of
the newspapers is 562. Besides this
there are 55 people missing at midnight,
the majority of whom are probably
among the dead in the morgue
and various undertaking establishments.
Eighty-six of the dead have
been positively identified, and 62
others are known to be injured.
A few of these people were burned
to death by fire, many were suffocated
by gas, and scores were trampled
to death in the panic that followed
the mad plunge of the frightened
audience for the exits. It will be
many hours before all of them will be
identified. Thore are bodies lying by
the dozens tonight (Wednesday) in
Ithe undertaking rooms, in the police
stations and in the hospitals, from
which nearly everything that could
reveal their identity to those who
knew them best is gone. Their cloth
lug 18 corn to rags or burned to cinders,
and their faces have been
crushed into an unrecognizable puip
by the heels of the crowd that tramplod
them down as they fled for safety.

Christmas trade was the moat ^
>f factory ever enjoyed, both in poinbN
)f volume and in the agreeableness ok
t the customers with whom they had X
. to deal.
Wo are among those who believe iu
y giving "honor to whom honor is due"
k aud who do not believe in waiting uni
til a man is dead to heap flowers upe_
on his grave. From conditions that
have existed in our town every year before,
especially along about the
l(* holiday season and the time when g
J8 every merchant has the right to ex- p
of pect the mc i satisfactory business 3
w of the year, we are sure that at least ^
iH a large measure of the good business,
which all the merchants have enjoyed.
especially in the fruit and pro- ;
duco line, can be attributed to the h
I0 fact that our thoughtful and consid- i|
erate Mayor and Board of Wardens 1
Q0 have protected the merchants of this
he city who aro regular tax payers and ]
keep open their places of business l?
0P both through the dull and good sea- (
Q(* sons for the benefit of the town and
county, have not allowed a class of
he men, who do not pay taxes, at least vn
in this county, and who contribute
nothing to the citizenship of this
count;, from coming in during the
)e" best part of the business year and
demoralizing trade by making a house
to house canvass and offering cheap
and inferior fruits etc. to the people.
And in this connection we feel that
,y< we can afford to say that we never
t0 saw a more bountiful supply of de[D.
llcious fruits and in our recollection^

IW. We believe that every other tnerbe
chant in our line of business, must
)n, feel as we do about this matter, and
we take the privilege of.publicly acknowledging
to our Mayor and War)/?t
dens our gratitude for endeavoring to
give to the merchants of this city,
8l(j this part of the trade, which legitimately
belongs to them, by keeping
3a* out of our midst, except for whole^r
sale purposes, these foreign dealers,
per whose sole outfit consists of a wagon
,Ip. and what stock they can carry and
_ who always place their stands where
!! they draw nqost largely from some
^4 established business.
They have also kept down side
os- issues and catoh pennies that heretofore
have been placed on all our
street oornera, and which are carried
' on by men at this special season of
'or the year, who at other seasons have

MOORE'S CROUP MIXTURE.
I would like every mother in Union county to give this famous prescription
a trial this winter. It has been used many years by scores of parents
and those once using it always depend on it in the croup and coughs of
their children. Being free from opiates it is especially suited to infanta
and children. Of course it is important to have the genuine prepared by
the old original formula. I guarantee mine to be genuine.
