Hour ! > n Few SparKx In Avoca.
Sheriff John T. Hazen'y residence , Just out-
Bide of Avoca. was totally destroyed by fire
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Hazen has been
laying all his plans to move back to Avoca
as soon as his term of ofllce expires , In
January. Ho moved the old homestead a
short distance nway , and began the erec
tion of a new IIOUDJ on the old Bite. It was
almost completed , the finishing touches be
ing all that were lacking. The old house ,
which stood only a few feet away , was oc
cupied by renters. Yesterday afternoon some
flying sparks from the chimney set flro to
the new house. It was only a short time
until several hundred people from town were
on tbo ground , and the flro would have been
put out had It not been that the pump handle
at the well from which they tried to draw
water broke off short. The houwe was en
tirely destroyed. It cost $3,100 , of which
IL'.GOO had already been paid by Mr. Hazcn
to the contractor , Tom Snyder. The latter
had taken out a policy for $2,000 Insurance
on ( he building , and that will probably bo
turned over to Hazen , The old house , which
was nlco destroyed , onfalls a loss of about
$300. The place was a part of the old Cuppy
homestead , and was remarkable for ite
beauty. Big evergreens grew all around the
liouues , and they were killed by the heat.

It has btcn many moons since the atmos
phere of the bar room and prize- ring was
* o perceptible In n meeting of the rchool
board as It WAS at a nretlng which was held
In Secretary T , C. Dawaon's ofllco last night.
It was supposed to be a secret session for
the purpose nt discussing further the matter
of allowing the supervisors of music and
drawing to give special Instruction to the
teachers outside of school hours , but the
scheme foil through , so far as the secrecy
was concerned. A newspaper man appeared
on thu tcenfr shortly after It had com
menced and found a i oil-hot debate In prog
ress. President "Moore and Members Rob
erts , Snyder , Thomas , Morgan and Fonda
were present. At ths- previous meeting of
the board Snyder , Ilobcrtson nnd Morgan
were opposed to granting the supervisors of
miislc and drawing permission to receive
pay for Instruction furnished the other teach
ers , while Moore , Thoi.ias and Fonda were
In favor of It. It was hoped that by last
evening either Snyder , Robertson or Fonda
would have changed his mind no that the
plan might carry , but they were all on hand
ready for n fight.
Ilobertcou was the pugnacious oneof the
lot He had come loaded for bear , and he
didn't care who knew It. Fonda tried to
make a talk on his tills of the question ,
but Hohcrtson persisted In Interrupting him
with exclamations of nil sorts. Fondi or
dered him to kep still , accused him of not
being a gentleman , nnd finally threatened to
punch Ms head If he did not keep still. And
Robertson talked on , but his conversation was
nt so rambling , disconnected n sort that
nothing but a verbatim report would give
any Idea of It.
Robertson brought the matter of politics
up , an 1 accused the board of being a political
machine. President Moore , who Is a staunch
dttrccrat , bridled up at this and remarked ,
"I'm a member of a school board In which
thereIs no politics , Dr. Robertson , no mat
ter what you arc. and 1 want to say right
hero that I think It a disgrace to bring poli
tics Into It. "
"It use-d to bepretly respectable. " was
Robertson's reply , "but It's gettln1 disreput
able lately. "
"Please keep still a few moments , " said
Fonda to Robertson ; "you ought to be
ei cugh of a gentleman to do that. '
"Yer , doctor , " said the president , "I'll look
after Mr. Fonda , and If ho says anything
out of the way I'll call him down. "
"That's all right. " said Robertson , "but
I ain't a-goln' to take any cracks off Fonda. "
"You are making this a personal matter ,
Robertson. " was Fonda's reply , "and I'll
make It that way , too , If I get started , you
bet. "
But Fonda didn't punch anybody , and
finally had to give up the floor to Robertson
simply because he couldn't find a placs for
a word edgewise.
"I want you to understand , you know , "
said Robertnon , when he had risen , "that I
don't object to the supervisors teaching pri
vately , you know , but what I object to Is
their getting pay for It , you know. When we
hlro supervisors of music and drawing , you
know , and pay 'ern as much as ws do some
of the others , you know , we ought not to give
'cm a chance to earn extra pay , you , know' .
As far as I know there hasn't been a com
plaint made by any of the teachers because
of this plan , you know , nnd I know I'd have
heard th ? complaints , you know , because I
knew 'cm all danced with a good many of
'em , at private dancing parties , you know. "
He rambled on In this Interesting way
awhile , nnd then Director Thomas Introduced
a resolution that the supervisors of music and
drawing should be allowed to Instruct all
teachers who wished to be Instructed , pro
vided there was no compulsion nnd no com
pensation. Robertson objected loudly to hav
ing this even voted upon , because "there
ain't any dispute over that. "
During the discussion Fonda had stated
that ono of ths supervisors had come to him
and said that rhe had never tried to coerce
any of the teachers into going into her class ,
but had rlmply sent circulars to the princi
pals , not to the sub-teachers , announcing the
formation of the classes and Inviting every-
ons who wanted Instruction to Join nt $2.50
a term. Morgan , on the other hand , stated
Just as positively that one of the supervisors
had told him that the new teachers were
given to understand that they were expected
to take the lessons. On account of this dis
crepancy Fonda madea motion , which wao
seconded by Morgan , to adjourn subject to the
call of ths president , and cite the supervlsore
to appear before tbo board and explain away
the discrepancy.
"I don't want to see 'cm , " said Robertson ;
"they never came to see mo , and I haven't
any reason to want to see'em now. "
But the motion was carried , Moore , Fonda ,
Morgan and Snyder voting aye , and Robert
son and Thomas no.
"I don't approve of this thing , " said
Thomas ; "It's a small piece of business all
the way through , and I think we should have
been men enough to settle It right here. "
"No , I don't approve of It cither , " seconded
Robsrlson ; "It's all d d nonsense ; all d U
nonsense. "

James Jacoby , an expre-ssman , living at C36
Bluff street , Is missing and his wife and
friend ? arc much worried , fearing that he has
committed suicide. About two or three
months ago he lost a child , to whom he was
very much attached , and has been brooding
owr the- loss ever since. He was continually
talking about the little one , and talked so
strangely that hU family feared he might be
come deranged , Tuesday afternoon about 4
o'clock he sent his team back to the stable
by one of his men and started down street ,
lit pjlil nothing as to his Intention of going
away , but he has not been seen since.
His wife reported the matter to the- police
yesterday afternoon and turned ovsr to Chief
Scanlan a note which she had found In the
l.ouse addressed to her from her husbind.
In It hu stated that he had become a victim
of the gambling habit and that so long as the
city authorities permitted gambling to run on
it was Impossible for him to keep away from
It. He told her thai the. next time she saw
hip body It would ba brought up from the
bottom of the Missouri river. He went nway
with his working clothes on , wearing a brown
duck overcoat , black cap and gray trousers.
Ills under coat was found lying In the bottom
of the wagon , so that It Is not believed that
ho went far.
Jacoby Is quartermaster of Abe Lincoln
post. Grand Army of the Republic , and It Is
stated on reliable- authority that he Is short In
his accounts to that organization. General
O. M. Dodge makes n practlcj of wilding $100
to the post every year , to be expended In
giving a merry Christmas to ths children of
the old soldiers. It Is reported that this Is
nil missing , but hopes are expressed that sub
sequent developments may prove that his
defalcation , If such It really 1 ? , Is not so bad
as Is now feared.

The case of Willis and Frcddla Strong ,
aged 9 and 11 years , sons of Joe Strong ,
a county paupjr , Is bothering the county
authorities somewhat. Their case was to
have come up In Justice Vlon's court yester
day , but a continuance was' taken until Sit-
urday. In the meantime the boys are in the
county Jail , where their quarters are more
comfortable than they would be at home ,
If the stories they tell are true. Sheriff
Hazen has Investigated the case and found
three neighbors of Strong who vouch for the
itory told by the boys of their father com
pelling them to cat scraps of meat out of
garbage that he had collected at the res
taurants , hotels and private houses on his
regular 'Hjeat. " He also found that the
beys bad told one of their friends that they
were going to steal something so as to go
to the reform school , where they thought
they would have better treatment.
Some little time ago Judge Smith sug
gested , In course of conversation , that the
state should have some Institution wher ?
boys who wore not properly cared for at
home could be taken and educated at the
state's expense , thereby cheating the peni
tentiaries of some portion of their raw
material. Thp reform school does not esem
to be- the sort of place to send boys who
ar-3 convicted of no crime , for there are too
many Iron bars and other symptoms of a
prieon to make a good citizen out of an In
mate. There Is no such provision , however ,
and the only thing to be done Is to end
them to the- reform school , unless some
good home can be found for them.

JEFFERSON , id. , Dec. 4. ( Special. ) It
Is amazing the amount of cai'h buried In
thN county. At the tlmo of the financial
flurry two years ago a 'great ' deal of money
wai removed from , the1 , ' hanks and for the
want of a better place , as tho. dappsitors sup
posed , was burled-Uu the earth. Recently
a farm was sold lo a well known farmer
and the 'purchase ' 'price was to be paid In
cash. When the deed was delivered the
purchaser brought forth nearly $3,000 In
gold. The agent transacting the business ,
noticing the coin was considerably soiled ,
remarked in fun that the man must have
kept the money In a hole In the ground.
At this the man with the gold acknowledged
he had taken the coin from the earth and ,
not knowing where else to put it , had dug
a hole In the earth and burled the result
of many years of hard \york. He also said
there were many other farmers who bad
dene the same thing.

THE BARS OF HEALTH
once down , discnse finds nn easy en
trance.
If there is n weak spot in the body , dis
ease-genus will find it. They will lodge
right in that spot nnd unless they are
driven out nt once , will increase nnd
multiply and grow into seriousness.
Weakness is a predisposition tb disease.
Whether the weakness be local or gen
eral , it is dangerous. Good healthy
strength all over the body is the best
safeguard ngninst disease. _ Debility of
any kind is a direct invitation to serious
sickness. The reason that Dr. Picrce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures 98 per
cent , of all cases of consumption if taken
jn the early stages of the disease , is that
it puts the whole body into a hearty ,
healthy condition. The poisonous tuber
cular matter is thrown off by the
lungs , and the pure , rich blood cours
ing through them , quickly stops the
inflammation , heals the broken mem
branes and makes the lungs perfectly
strong and sound. Consumption is
marked byvastiug away of the bodily
tissues and vice versa. A wasting of the
flesh brings on consumption. Doctor
Piprce's Golden Medical Discovery in
duces the accumulation of sound , hard ,
healthy flesh. It increases the appetite
and the capacity of the digestive organs
for the assimilation of food. It is a puri
fier , a tonic and a powerful curative rem
edy , all in one bottle. All who will send
their addresses , this notice and six cents
in stamps , to World's Dispensary Medi
cal Association , Buffalo , N. Y. , will re
ceive by return mail a large book of
160 pages , which tells all about the
