L. Card broke open the door of the bak34-ery and secured H. M. Pomeroy's Racine fire extinguisher. It was loaded and ready for business.

The stream of chemicals was poured upon the flames and subdued them effectually and in a very short time. A half dozen of these fire extinguishers in the hands of competent persons would be tan immense value to the city, as al protection against fire. The meetings at the Baptist church Sunday night was dismissed without ceremony. The alarm of tire was not given publicly, but two or three persons were told privately that there was a fire. These left hurridly, of course, and others followed.

Finally some one who had not located the fire correctly called out that H. M. Pomeroy's bakery was on fire. As 9 fire could not well start in a more dangerour place for the town, nearly all left without waiting for the benediction. Dr.

Mr. Cooper got up Yugal was a prominent life insurance shop here, went to Onaga last week, and opened the dining room door. agent in Wamego. He attended looking for a place to locate. The fire burst out through the door and he was unable to shut it.

The organ and a few articles were saved but almost everything was lost. The family could not even get up stairs for their clothing and saved only the night clothing they had on. The dining room where the fire originated warmed by a fire-place and it is probable that the fire rolled out on the floor. The house was built of stone rnd was one of the largest and best in that part of the county. The loss is about $2.000 with 8500 insurance.

Mo Comas House Caught Fire: The McComas house caught fire, Sunday evening from a lamp in the dining room. For some reason a hanging lamp blazed up high enough to set the ceiling on fire which burned until the lamp fell before it was noticed. The falling of the lamp attracted D. C. McComas attention to the fire, which had burned along al joist to the west wall from which the fire was blazing.

Help was called and the fIre put out. A bole ten or twelve feet long and from two to four feet wide wils burned from the west wall. The contents of one bed room caught fire and the burning bedding caused so much smoke that it was with some difficulty that water could be got where it would be most effective. Those who extinguished the fire showed excellent judgment and caused little damage that could have been avoided, There is $800 insurance on the building but none on the con- tents. James Siddons Dead.

James Siddens, who lived north of Westmoreland, died at 5 p. m. Sunday, February 10, 1895. The funeral mon was preached at the house, Tuesday at 11 a. m.

by H. D. Fisher D. D. and the body was laid to rest by the side of his wife in the Moodyville cemetery.

James Siddens was born in Green Castle, Indiana, February 9, 1836, and was therefore tifty-nine years and one day old at the time of bis death. He moved to Kansas in the spring of 1867. In 1868 he married Martha McMurry. who died the 2d of last month. He united with the Methodist church in 1875 and hasever since been a faithful member.

Mr. Siddens has long been a resident of this vicinity. He moved to his present farm twenty-six years and one day previous to his death. His hearing wils very deftcient. otherwise he would have been among the most sociable and companionable of men.

At the time his wife died he was improving in health, but after her death he seemed to have little ambition and failed very fast. He leaves two daughters, Ida B. and Sarah wife of William Evans. Abe Siddens is an older brother of the deceased and Mrs. J.

Q. Mark and Mrs J. T. Youngman are his sisters. New Pastor for Plymouth Congregationa Church, Salina.

Salina Republican- Journal: A week ago Plymouth church gave a very hearty and unanimous call to Rev. T. V. Davies to become senior pastor of the society from March 1. next, and a large audience assembled last night to hear his decision in regard thereto.

Mr. Davies accepted the call, and made a very impressive talk to the church on the importance of the work to be done, and he made a strong appeal for the united prayers and active co-operation of all the members and friends of Plymouth church. It is a well known fact that Mr. Davies has labored hard with the retiring pastor of the church for nearly eighteen months with great acceptance and success, and it was the natural and fitting thing for this call to be extended to him, and it isa matter of rejoicing that he has been led to accept the same. Mr.

Davies is recognized as one of the strongest ministers in the Congregational body in Kansas, and his great musical abilities and fine scholarship will make him a leader of exceptional power, and he will doubtless be successful in his pastorate. Mr. Mucklow will close his work with Plymouth church in February, and will soon start for a visit to the Pacific coast and other points, and some time in April will remove with his family to New York City where he will superintend the important business of Riley of Bradford, England, in the United States, and will also have charge of special mission work among the masses. The Open Church will be continued under the joint proprietorship and editorship Messrs. Mucklow and Davies, and for the time being will still be published in Salina.

About this time he left Wamego and the company claims that he failed by about $300 to turn over the funds that he had taken in for the company. He was tried on a similar charge in DesMoines, lowa. He was convicted on the first trial, but it was afterward shown that a portion of the jury was drunk during the trial.

He was granted a new trial and acquitted. He is also known as J. R. Jugal. Mr.

Yugal is well educated and speaks fluently seyeral languages. He is a Bohemian and says that his name in the old country was Jaroslav Rudolph Jugal. Jand are the same in Bohe mia, and as his first name is difficult of pronunciation in English, he has for the most part since he came to America, placed his first Christian name second, and as his sir name is pronounced with the sound of spells it with that letter. He says that the money he spent in Wamego, was all for the benefit of the insurance company and that if they had left alone he would have made plenty of money for the company and for himself. He says that he was summariby dismissed while at Wamego, because he could not pay what he considered was advertising for which the company was liable.

He was unmarried at Wamego, but shortly afterward married a widow with a small child. His wife sticks tohim through all his trouble and asked Mr. Blaylock to take good care of him. Mr. Yugal has been in the insurance business for fifteen years.

How to get $100 and Perhaps make a Fortune. We secure patents and to induce people to keep track of their bright ideas, we offer a prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on the first of every mouth to the person who submits to us the most meritorious invention during the preceding month. We will also advertise the invention, free of charge in the National Recorder, a weekly newspaper, published in Washington D. which has an extensive circulation throughout the United States and is devoted to the interests of inventors. NOT SO HARD AS IT SESSMS.

The idea of being able to invent something strikes most people as being very difficult: this delusion the Company wishes to dispel. It is the simple things and small inventions that make the greatest amount of money, and the complex ones are seldom profitable. Almost everybody, at some time or another, conceives an idea, which if patented, would probably be worth to him a fortune. Unfortunately such ideas are dismissed without thought. The pimple inventions like the car window which could be easily slid up and down without breaking the passengers back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle stopper, the Show shovel, are things that almost everyone sees some way of improving upon, and it is these kind of inventions that bring the greatest returns to the author.

The prize we offer will be paid at the end of each month, whether the application has been acted upon by the Patent office or not. Every competitor must apply for a patent on his invention through us, and whether he secures the prize or not, the inventor will have a valuable patent.
