almost everything on the top storey and
store was closed about a quarter to ten
for the night.
The stock is valued at about $50,000 and
the amount destroyed by fire is more than
equalled by that destroyed by water
which was poured in the top fiat for near-
ly two hours, and by smoke which flllcd
the entire building. The loss is roughly
estimated at two thirds and there is
$30,000 insurance.
Smoke also filled the adjoining stores of
S. A. McDonald, Beer & Goff and Moore

There will likely be considerable damage

Sr. JOHN, N. B.. Dec. 8.-Dr. E. A. Pres-’
ton is now charged with murder, and his
malpractice case here, began today, and
will be continued tomorrow. Nothing
has yet been done in the case of Howard
D. Camp, who is still held on suspicion of
counselling an abortion.
The charge of murder against Dr. Pres-
ton caused something of a sensation, as it
surprised the average day man. Dr. Pres-
ton has been held on just sufficient cvl-
dence to place him under preliminary
examination. It is understood that
the reasons for the charge
of murder are that the verdict
'of Coroner Berryman’s jury is looked
upon as directly meaning murder, and
only in cases of homicide is a dying decla-
ration admlssable, and it is desired to
get in evidence si statement made by the
girl Edith Clark, whom, it is charged,
;Preston illegally operated upon.

Grip Quickly Knocked Out-
“Some weeks ago during the sever
'winter weather both my wife and myse
Icontracted severe colds which speedily
developed into the worst kind of la. grippe
with all its miserable symptoms," says
Mr. J. S. Egleston of Maple Landing,
Iowa. “Knees and joints aching, muscles
sore, head stopped up, eyes and nose
running, with alternate spells of chills
and fever. We began using Ghamberlaiirs
Cough Remedy, aiding the same with a
dose of Chamberlaln’s Stomach and Liver
Tablets, and by its liberal use soon com-
pletely knocked out thc grip."
I It is agood plan to takeadose of the

I mote a healthy action of the bowels, liver
and kidneys which is always beneficial
when the system is congested by a. cold or

NEW Yonx, Dec. 7-“Graft seems to b
the watohword ln every line of llfe,” said
John  Rockefeller, Jr., at the ninth
annual dinner of the Young Mea's Bible
Class, attended by about 250 members,
and their friends, at the Hotel Vendome
last night. -
"I suppose," he continued, "that of
every two men who go into politics, one
goes, not for what he can do for his fel-
low man, but for what he can get out of
politics. Yes, I should say that four out
of every five, perhaps nine out of every?
ten, go into politics for what they can get
out of it for themselves.
“In this life of today, so full of struggle
and contest, in the etl`ort to get ahead, to
gain wealth, power, influence or position,
the watchword seems to be, gain it hon-
estlylf you can, but gain it at any cost.
No quality should receive such careful
consider ation and cultivation among
young men as moral courage. For, unless
the young men exhibit this courage, this
great- republic is doomed to the end of
civilization gone before."
Mr. Rockefeller said his class would not
be broken up, but he hoped another leader
would be chosen.
