The Fury of on Unfettered Element fall! to Crush Them—The Fire Fiend Defied. The news comes from Attica, Ind., of the destruction, by fire, of the big laboratory and "office building of the Sterling Remedy company, makers of Cascarets Candy Cathartic and No-To Bac, the original guaranteed tobacco habit cure. The preparations made by this big corporation are known throughout the world. The Are broke out in one of the packing rooms on the third floor during the noon hour, and had made consider* able headway before it was discovered. The Sterling Remedy company is the principal industry of the beautiful lit tle city of Attica, employing several hundred people, besides being affiliated with the interest! at the Indiana Min eral Springs, the famous Magno-Mud Cure. The entire population was worked up to a frenzy of excitement. Meanwhile thj almost proverbial energy and presence of mind of “Hust ling” Harry Kramer, the general man ager of The Sterling Remedy company, was displayed. He was the coolest man at the scene. He quietly walked away, and secured a big carriage show ■ room near by, and had all office furni j ture, charred and delapidated as it ! was, taken there. Several shipments were made the same evening from goods saved, and on Friday morning, all departments were at work in var ious rooms about town, while a gang of men were cleaning away the wreck age preliminary to rebuilding. The actual damage amounts to many thousands of dollars; the loss due to interruption of business and confusion of detail is lnestlmatable, but pluck and energy of one man will turn de feat into victory and move the wheels of business to ever-increasing speed. Nothing can stop the success of Cas carets and No-To-Bac with such char acteristic force behind them. “The Adventures of Francois,” the new novel by Dr. S.

Va., and North Mountain, were completed No* vcmber 1st. They cover a distance of nearly four miles, starting three miles west of Martlnsburg, and extending some distance west of Myers Hole, which Is near the North Mountain sta* tlon. At Myers Hole the line was changed, taking out some very objec tionable curvature, and the roadbed raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating two grades of 42 feet per miles which came together at Myers Hole, and sub stituting therefor an almost level track. This point on the road has always been a dangerous one and many freight wrecks have occurred there. Apart from doing away with the dangerous feature of two sharp down grades coming together, as was the case in this instance, the saving in operation of the road by the change will be very large, as It enables the tons per train to be greatly increased and reduces the liability to accident to the minimum. ' At Tablers the road bed haa been lowered about thirteen feet, and the same at Tabbs, besides taking out ob jectionable curvature and reducing the rate of grades at these points from 42 feet per mile to ten feet per mile, thus increasing the cars that can be hauled per train. Though these' improve ments have cost quite a sum of money, the expenditure Is fully justified by the great saving in operation.
