Now and again we hear some one complain that coffee is unhealthful, An odd one here and there discon- tinues its use, but the mase of people - keep on drawing benefit from its stimulating effect. We have always thought it was largelya question of what sort of coffee aused. Pure coffee harms no one. Our idea of Coffee goodness costs 40c a pound. Buy and try. R. A.

About 4 o'clock o Tuesday afternoon fire was uotieed in t• attic of the But- ton Blook, near the o ntre of the build- ing, and en alarm wa rung. The fire- men quickly responds to the call and soon had the water phi; nig upon the fire, A hole had been made n the roof and by this means access —as had to the scene of the flames, wh oh were, appar- ently, soon extiuguishe I. About 5.80 o'clock on Wednesday morning, how- ever, au alarm was so ,tided, and the firemen were quickly on hand and did valiant service in bat ling with the flames as in avery r few minutes three s e streams were playing o the building, A strong south-west g le fanned the flames and the efforts .f the firemen were chiefly directed t• confining the fire to the one building, , n which they were successful. The block was re -buil some years ago by Mr. Wm. Button, t o present owner being Mr. W. F. Van tone, live stock dealer, who purchased it some two years ago. Occupying the ' rat storey of the premises were Mr. L. G. Kruse, grocer and provision mero,ant; Mrs. W. E. Aley, milliner; ii r. VanStone, the owner, also had his •ffice in the rear of the grocery; the u stairs was occupied as dwellings by fly; families, Mr. W. E. Aley, Mrs. McLea , Mr. Charles Swan- son, Mr. Thos Fe s and Mr. Lswson Bisbee. g toh rong Owingwind and the w rapidity with wh 'ch the flames spread to all parts of the building, many of the occupants had dilaculty in getting out safely, escaping in their night -robes. Practically none et the stook, furniture or effects belonging to any of the parties was saved, and t building is a total wreck. Fears were enter •ained for the safety of Mr. J. T. Lam° y's restaurant and confectionery store just north of the Batton Block, and r. R. Clegg's brick residence to the ea t, but these were not in imminent da ger, and by seven o'clock the flames vere well under con- trol. An unfortunate circumstance in connection with the fire is the fact that some of the occupants had no insurance on their effects, a d Mrs. McLean is at pe away presenton a isit. The following i an estimate of the as can be losses and insuran e as far ob- tained :—W. F. V uStone, loss on build- ing, $0,000; insu d for 83,250; Mrs, W. E. Aley, milli ery stock and house- hold furniture, $2, 00;insured for $1,000; L. G. Kruse, groc ry stock, $2,500; in- sured for $1,500; re. ]McLean, house- hold effects, $00 ; insured for $350; Thos. Fells, hous old effects, $t]00; in- sured for $300; Lawson Bisbee, house- hold effects, $500; no insurance; Chas. Swanson, househr Id effects, $500; no insurance. Airs. Aley had nearly $100.00 in money in her bedroom and up to late yesterday afternoon the molly had not been re- covered and it i i believed has been burned. Mr. Kruse had his books partially . destroyed ; Mr. Fe is secured his, while those of Mr. VanS one were locked in the safe. As will bo seen ly the above estimate, the loss to the °wilier and to each of the tenants of the bui kling will reach a con- siderable amount. Mr. VanStone is yet undecided as to what he will do i_ the way of re -build- ing the block, bu will probably erect a good substantial uilding in tl spring to cover the who a of the c, ler lot.
