Seminary liurnel.

GODFREY. H.. Nov. 5,--The Monticello
ladies' seminary caught fire at one O'Clock
yesterday morning and by daylight was
destroyed. The fire originated in frame
building adjoining the main building used
as a kitchen and servants' quarters. The
inmates Of the main building were aroused,
and Miss Haskell ordered the pupils to
dress and secure what effects they could
and then leave the house. There was no
panic, and pupils and teachers escaped
without iujury, but some were frightened
and neglected to clothe themselves sufli-
cently for comfort. The seminary loss on
building and contents is over $50 900, in
surance s7j 900. The loss of pupils and
teachers in clothing and jewelry is heavy.

plus, Sl,050, l53, decrease of 1927 79i; in

net earnings Of the Union Pacific for Sep

President Adams says he knows of no rea-
son for the large increase in the operating
expenses, beyond the fact of large ton
mage at low rates. This, he says, is the
disturbing element with all Western rail-
road property, and he knows no reason
why the Union Pacific should be exempt.

BARB WIRE FENCES.
How 10 Prevent Injury to Horses and
Other Farm Animals.

How TO Prevent Injury to Horses ana
Other Farm Animals.
Notwithstanding the several simple
means for preventing injury to horses
and other farm animals from barb wire
fences, we are repeatedly hearing OF
severe injuries inflicted by these fences.
In all cases, so far as we have heard,
the injury has come from the fences
made wholly OF the barb wires. Where
ditches and banks have been made at
the bottom OF the fence, or q rip-rap
wall OF cobble-stones foot or two high
has been placed beneath the wires, in
the manner we have repeatedly recom-
mended, not single accident has oc-
Cured within our knowledge.
Some persons have strongly advo-
Gated the prohibition, by law, OF all
barb wire fences next TO neighbors or
along highways, TO prevent the many
accidents which frequently occur, but
no general law Of this kind can be
passed 80 long as farmers find these
fences so much cheaper, more efficient
and more durable than any other farm
fence that can be constructed. Itwould
be equally impossible to prohibit the
running of railway trains on account OF
the disasters which often occur from
them. All that is necessary is to adopt
the simple and cheap remedies recon-
mended. among which the earth bank
and double ditch is capable Of nearly
universal application, and which has
some advantages in cheapness Of con-
struction, in addition to the protection
Il affords. Country Gentleman
