IN LOVING REMEMBERANCE
of Alma Hawks
Gone but not Forgotten
A precious one from us has gone.
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon His love had given,
and though the body slumbers here
The Soul is safe in Heaven.

FIRE
Completely Destroys the Millinery Stock
of Mrs. Etta NEWTON
and damages SAVAGE & RAY's Photograph Studio
Last Friday evening the people of Lowell were called upon for the first time in years to fight fire. The blaze was discovered about 9:50 by Misses Maud WILLIAMSON and Nellie GRAY, the operators at the Farmers' Telephone Exchange. The girls sleep in a room adjoining the office and had retired for the night, but had been in bed but a short time when the smell of smoke became very offensive. Upon getting up and opening the door of the room containing the switch board they were almost blinded by smoke. Miss WILLIAMSON ran to the switch board and rang up person after person. She had called almost everyone in town having a telephone, when she was forced from the room by F.A. BOYLE. In the meantime Miss GRAY ran to HECKMAN's and told Mr. HECKMAN that the millinery store was afire. He rand down street giving the alarm and was heard by Frank SPIES and Lewis HENNIGER, who ran to the engine house and rang the fire bell. Mr. HENNIGER afterwards breaking into the German Church and ringing the church bell. By Miss WILLIAMSON's presence of mind, and the ringing of the bells the majority of the male portion of the village and many of the gentler sex were at the scene of the fire in less than five minutes after the girls discovered it. The fire engine was run to the canal, connection was made and the blaze soon extinguished. The most of the loss is covered by insurance. The building, which is owned by Mrs. C.M. MATTERN is well insured. Mrs. NEWTON, who is the heaviest loser, had her stock partly covered by an insurance of $700. Everything in the store was burned to a crisp and the fire will cause her a total loss of about $800. SAVAGE & RAY, whose photo studio occupied the second floor of the building carried no insurance and much of their stock was damaged by smoke and water as the fire had not made its way into the studio when extinguished. The total amount of the damage is nearly $1,800. The cause of the fire is not known, but it is supposed to have been burning for some time before it burst into a flame. When discovered the blaze was burning in the northern corner of the building in which the Telephone Exchange is located.
NOTES OF THE FIRE
SAVAGE & RAY will soon be ready for business
Ed ADAMS, Will TRAPP and Wm. SAVAGE stuck in the mud with the fire engine.
C.G. SCHNEIDER as we all know can kick, he kicked the millinery store door in.
Henry RIETZ thought Dr. GLASS as afire and threw a bucket of nice cool water on him.
John KNOCHS cut his arm quite badly on a piece of glass.
Otto HENNIGER is the champion manipulator of a chemical fire extinguisher while Thomas VAN GELDER holds the championship for moaning and groaning.
Mrs. Kate STANLEY diped water faster than the men could carry it.
In case of fire, confine Orville SWAIN, he too gets excited.
Had the fire started two hours later the most of the "fashion" square would probable have been ashes.
Ed GEORGE can tell you how to fight the next fire.
F.A. BOYLE was the only one who did not get excited --- Well people say newspapers don't tell the truth anyway.
The fire clearly demonstrated the fact that Lowell should have a volunteer fire department. Friday evening everyone was excited, some were doing nothing but yelling, others were trying to do good work but were only assisting the fire in the destruction of property. A department with a commander in chief would do away with all the confusion and quick results would be obtained. Without the assistance of Albert HENNIGER and Chas. RECHSTEINER it is probable that the fire engine would hot have been started until too late to do much good. Organize a fire department and ______ for speed.

DEARTH IS CLEARED
The hearing of Robert DEARTH, who was charged with cruelty to animals, it being alleged that he abused a cat, was held in Mayor LEEPER's court at Marietta last Monday afternoon. Mr. DEARTH was cleared. About twenty-five witnesses from this place were examined and several other people from this place attended the trial. Owing to the circumstances the case was one of un_____ interest to many of our towns people and it was stated that the evidence was of such a nature that it showed that the cat might have been injured by fire crackers which were set off near it by other parties, instead of being hurt by the blank cartridges which DEARTH exploded at it.
