Disastrous Fire.

On Saturday evening last, at about
eight o'clock, occurred the most disas-
trous confagration that has ever visit
ed this section, which terminated in
the total destruction of the steam saw
mill owned and operated by the Jenny
Lumber Company. The fire was first
discovered by the Waterman in the fire
room, and before he could get to the
whistle to give the alarm the mill was
enveloped in flames. So rapid did it
burn. that before any help could reach
the spot the mill was burned to the
ground. Very soon after the flames
were discovered large crowd from
town reached the premises with pals
and such other appliances as could be
got hold of and commenced vigorous
work trying to save the lumber. Three
or four hundred willing and able men
were soon on the ground and commenc-
ed. the work of moving lumber, tearing
down lumber tracks and putting water
onto the flames. By much vigorous,
we'll directed work they succeeded in
saving the most of the lumber, only
about 500, 900 feet of the five million
feet being destroyed.
The loss on mill and property can
not be less than $50, upon which
there was insurance of about $4,000.
The loss falls very heavily upon the
preprietors Messrs. McCord & Howe,
as it is not only loss but serious
interruption of their business, and
leaves them with about three million
feet of logs ON hand which they will
have to lay out Of the avails Of until
next year. 1t is also quite severe
loss to the place, as it throws about
fifty men out Of employment.
The Company have not yet decided
whether they will rebuild or not, but
they say they have decided, if they do
build another mill, it will be one that
will be credit so the place. -MerriU
Advocate.

ing liberty pole and hosting the
National Flag at half mast on account
of the news that President Garfield
was dead but later in the day, the

Who Saw 1t FirstP

The question of who discovered the
present comet has become most
momentous one. Over 500 persons
have laid claim to the honor and the
Warner Prize of 5000, and all of them
are within comparatively the same time,
It is desirable that no injustice be done
in this matter, and to this end all parties
who saw the comet during the week
ending June 18th, or previously, will
please forward their claims without
delay to Prof. Swift. Director of the
Warner Observatory, Rochester, n. Y.
1t is certain the discovery was made
by private individual, but who that
individual is remains to be seen.

DAY EXPRESS.

gW@A terrible train wreck took
place at Hudson this week, where
by one engineer was killed and two
locomotives badly wrecked and ditch
ed into the river aud about 40 loaded
freight cars smashed into pieces. The
way the accident occurred was in this
wise: Two freight trains we're made
up at Hudson each having two engines
one to start and the other soon to
follow. There is long and steep
grade to climb for several miles out of
Hudson. The first train had gone
and when nearly at the utmost top of
this grade all hands went forward to
wood up and before the brakeman
had gone to the back end of the train
the engineer was ordered ahead. Put
ting on the power TO move the heavy
train broke one of the coupling links
and fourteen cars became detached
making their way back to Hudson
down this grade. The train men did
not discover their train was broken in
twain for short time but as soon as
they did they side-tracked the train
and with one locomotive started for
the missing portion. 1t was gaining
speed at every revolution of the
wheels and was now going at the rate
of so mile per hour. They telegram
ed to Hudson of the danger ahead
but it was to late. A moment later
the cars came pounding round the
curve into the yard with a terrible
crash. The wreck is the worst ever
known to the northwest.

Susan B. Anthonv's Gains

Susan B. Anthony said recently in
reply to the question, "What have YOU
accomplished by your work for woman
suffrage?" ''Well, should say we have
accomplished great deal, Since the
beginning of the woman suffrage agita
ton, thirty years ago, We have gained
school suffrage in twelve states; law,
theology and medicine-all the profes-
sions have been thrown open to us; all
the western colleges and universities
admit woman; there are In this coun-
try one thousand licensed female doc
tors. there are fifty female lawyers, and
women are allowed to practice in the
supreme court of the United States,
although number of the states still
shut us out; there are forty female min
listers in the Universalist church alone,
while hundreds of licensed female
preachers are in the Methodist church,
doing the best kind of revival work.
Thirty years ago woman could only
sew, cook. and teach. Now not a
trade hardly but has a woman in it.
Women are managers of large stores
and business, and manage great farms
with success. Why. the largest farm
in one county of Illinois is owned
and managed by a woman. Your
eastern people ought to go west and
see how women are getting along with
only few of their rights"
