There was no live stock in the shed at the time but there was considerable hay and some farming Implements.The loss Is estimated at about $400 on the shed and contents and is said to be covered by Insurance.A NIGHT RUN.IJy tlu* Fire Depnrtinent Proved Unnecessary Rut tlu* Alarm Was Genuine.An alarm of fire was sounded last night about 12:45, the Information being sent In by telephone and the alarm was also turned In from the box on West JackSon street. However, as the department had actual Information as to the location of the fire they paid no heed to the alarm.Frank Whitman was acting in place of Chief McGaughey last night and Tom Hoskinson was also sleeping at the house. At the first clap of the fire bell they were up and In short order the team was hitched and ready for the run. Frank Coats, who sleeps at the Martin Undertaking parlors only a few doors away, joined them by that time and with Whitman handlthg the reins they tore out. So quick were they out and gone that residents in the other portions of the city who responded as quick as they could throw on their clothes did not even hear them running so far away had they gone.The fire was at the residence of Geo. Hahn, S04 West Calhoun street. The street lights had been turned out and it was pitch dark but the team was sent at full speed down West Carroll street as Calhoun street Is not paved. It was a wild ride with no lights to guide, but the team was sent at full speed with Whitman urging them to their best efforts. The result was the department was there promptly and ready to do some service had it proven necessary.The fire started at the base board in a bed room behind a door on which some clothing was hanging. The family was sleeping up stairs but were awakened by the smoke and immediately gave the alarm. Neighbors responded promptly and as a result the blaze was' extinguished with a few buckets of water. The fire had not gained much headway but the base board and the door were badly scorched and the clothing was ruined. The house was filled with smoke which was very dense, coming as it did from cloth. The loss to the house is but slight, but there was considerable clothing injured and destroyed.Mr. Hahn’s loss was entirely covered by insurance which he carried in the Hartford for which Anderson Anderson are agents. About all of the family’s clothing was destroyed except that they had been wearing that day and the bed clothing they were using.The house is the property of L. Hickman of near Sciota. The damage to it is only nominal.Had a Hog Shot.Monday some one killed a fine 300-pound hog for John Larner, at his residence on West Chase street. The animal had been shot three times —twice in the neck and once in the leg—and was dead when found. The bullet was evidently of a 22 calibre, and is thought to have been fired from a rifle. As yet he has not been able to find the guilty parties but expects to commence a vigorous prosecution if he can locate them.Hour Stomach.When the quantity of food taken is too large or the quality too rich, sour stomach is likely to follow, and especially so if the digestion has been weakened by constipation. Eat slowly and not too freely of easily digested food. Masticate the food thoroughly. Let five hours elapse between meals, and when you feel a fulness and weight in the region of the stomach after eating, take Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets and the sour stomach may beavoided.
