Mr. Eginhardt Schmitt, manager of the Golden Bule dry goods house, received a telegram yesterday afternoon, informing him of the destruction by fire of the firm's main store at Danville, Ills. The fire occurred while the store was filled with customers. It started in a large show window from an electric light wire, and a cleirk thought he could easily put it out.

We guess beautiful neck- appeai-ance, Afler January 1st Kates Life Insurance nill be Adraiiced. As the end of the year approaches local insurance agents are beginning to count up their profits and see how they stand for the year. They are also receiving instructions from their companies as to rates, for the coming year. Considering all things, the year has been a fairly profitaole one, some agent's books showing a slight gam over last year, while others show a slight falling off. Upon an average the business is in a fairly good condition.

The Instructions sent out do not show any advance in rates at the beginning of the year so far as fire risks are concerned. The figures fixed by the local board in October last, when they were reduced from ten to fifteen per cent, will be in rorce. In life insurance the first of January will see an advance. The Mutual Life of New York, the New York Life and Eanitable of New York have all signed an agreement to advance their rates, and have so notified local agents. A policy for 11,000, that now costs $30 per year, will cost from 12 to 93 more after January 1st.

In all else insurance rates lor 1898 will remain as they are. SITES LOCATED For the Indiana Soldiers' Monuments on the Chickamanga Battle Field. Capt, D. B.
