SCHULENBURC.
Yesterday (Sunday) Just about
one o’clock* p. m., the report of pis-
tol shot* and ringing of tire bells
disturbed the Sunday quietude and
alarmed the inhabitants of our burg.
The City hotel, occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Stanley, was ablaze, and as
quick as thought a large number of
willing hands were on the spot, as-
sisting to remove the contents of
the building, while others emptied
the dwelling of Mrs. A Schwartz,
only a few yards distant from the
burning hotel. At the lime there
was a light east wind and the part of
town west of the hotel was in dan-
ger. Soon after the wind veered to
the southeast, threatening the side
of town lying north and northwest
of the conflagration. Some sparks
even flew as far as Mr. Hollands
dwelling—fully two blocks distant.
The hotel was soon devoured by the
flames, as was also Mrs. Schwartz s
residence. West of the hotel the
flames destroyed a house formerly
the property of A. Gelber. Next
to it was a house belonging to P.
Frutsche. The Eclipse livery stable,
belonging to the Schwartz Bros.,
caugh fire repeatedly, and was save 1
only by miracle and th6 herculean
elfort of our citizens, white and col-
ored, all alike worked like giants.
The efforts were general and almost
superhuman, and besides water was
getting somewhat scarce. Luckily
Mr. Campbell got up steam in a
hurry, thus affording much water
from the railway pumps.
Much
gratitude is due to Mr. Campbell
and the railway company, and our
fire boys worked like beavers. A
dispatch was sent to Weimar and
was promptly and generously re-
sponded to by the Weimar fire de-
partment who arrived in a body
with hose, axes and ladders on the
west bound train. Hurrah for the
Weimar lads; they are friends in
need! At about three o’clock the
fire was under control. Of course
the pumping had to be kept up.
Mrs. R. A. Wolters gave evidence
of renparkable thoughtfulness and
kindness by coming from her home
with a large bucket of hot coffee
and a basket of edibles for the brave
men who immindful of the hot sun
were workiug the fire pumps with
tireless energy.
Mrs. Stanley saved a portion of
the hotel furniture and outfit; still
her loss may amount to about $400.
Mrs. Schwartz’s household effects
were also promptly saved.
The fire started at the roof in the
north L of the City hotel. Cause
of the Are unknown. The building
was the property of H. P. Schaefer.
No insurance on any of the build-
ings, exoept SchwarU’s livery sta-
ble, which has been badly scorched.
This conflagration ought to prove
a forcible argument with our city
oounoil in favor of water works.
Hon. A. B. Kerr passed through
today on hia way home from Austin.
Dave Hughes of Halletsville
passed here on his way to Hallets-
ville, his present home. Mr. H. has
been on a visit to relatives in New-
ton county, Texas.
Dr. Everton, whose dental office
was at the City hotel, lost the great-
est part of his instruments and den-
tal supplies by the recent fire.
H. P. Schaefer is examining the
waterworks at Shiner and other
places, with a view to establish a
similar system in this city.
Cotton is coming in quite lively.
The oompress will begin operations
this week. Mike.

The postman gets blamed for a
hundred and one things for which
he is in no way to blame.
About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen mouths old, had au
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting I gave it such remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for a physician and it was under
his care for a week. At this time
the child had been sick for about
ten days and was having about
twenty-five operations of the bow-
els every twelve bouts, aud we
were convinced that unless it soon
obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recommend-
ed, and I decided to try it. I soon
noticed a change for the better; by
its continued use a complete cure
was brought about and is now per-
fectly healthy.—C. L. Boggs,
