The Cause Of MANY Fires.

A great deal has been done in Chicago
in erecting what are called fire proof
buildings. A building is called fire proof
when its walls are so constructed that
they will not ignite and viii not conduct
heat to such an extent as TO char or in
flame substances inside Of them. wall
that will stop the progress Of flames is
often spoken OF as fire proof.
1t is noticeable that most buildings are
burned by fire started from the inside and
not from the outside. They may be,proof
against exterior, but they are not proof
against interior fires In fact, it is gcner.
ally more difficult to extinguish a fire in
one Of them than in a building con
structed of wood. Much rloney is spent
in constructing massive exterior walls
of stone or brick and in building parti.
tons Of materials that cannot be burned
The building however Is diled with in
nammablo substances All the furniture,
and there is likely to be much of 1t, is
msdc of materials that viii readily burn
The upholstery can be ignited by a spark
Iii the counting room will be several
desks of large size containing many draw
ers. each filed with papers. Newspapers,
books, and waste papers of various sorts
are allowed TO accumulate in many of the
rooms. A fire started in any of them
would spread with great rapidify and
would be very difficult 80 extinguish. The
heat produced would be sufficient to set
fire TO the wood that composed the floors,
doors. and wood in she partitions. The
smoke would render it impossible TO use
the apparatus employed in eXtinguishmg
incipieut fires. This apparatus, by the
way, few understand how TO make use of
when occasion requires.
Many persons who think that they are
careful keep coal oil, naphtha. benzine and
varnish in building containing IN i'm
mense amountof valuable property They

stances would produce flames that would

The air of mountains possesses greater
amount Of ozone than that Of the seashOrc.
What particular effect ozone may have
upon the health Of man has not yet been
clearly made out In some directions il
seems 90 be- absolutely injurious. There
is good evidence TO show that it Is often
productive of bronchial affections and
especially Of influenza. During epldemics
of this disease an increased amount Of
ozone has been fo-nd in the atmosphere.
On the ether hand there is 10 doubt that
ozone is a great purifier OF the atmosphere.
and it is doubtless owing 10 the Increased

and invariably the bad smell was at once

as u destroyer Of certain germs which are
capable of producing disease This IS
especially true as regards what we cali
malaria. and which, as everybody knows,
produces in the human system some very
characteristic diseases. Several observers
have found that this sntagonism between
ozone and malarious carnations really
exists DR. William A. Hammond in Chi

Mr. and Mrs l. J. Edwards, of the
town of Oak Grove, mourn the loss OF
their only daughter, May, Is years old,
whose death occurred on Monday morn
ing, after an illness of about three weeks.
She was a beautiful and accomplished
young lady, general favorite among old
and young, and all take her death as an
almost personal loss. Her grief-stricken
parents and other relatives have the sin
cere sympathy. of the entire community.
Thermometers in this vicinity registered
40 degrees below zero on Saturday morn
ing last, the coolest weather ever exper-
fenced here.
Our people have, during the past week,
again witnessed the disgusting sight of a
man old enough, smart and intelligent
enough to know better, making drunken
beast of himself. When saloon-keepers,
for the sake of raking in a few dollars,
sink so low as to sell whiskey to such an
Individual, well knowing what the result
will be, even conservative people begin to
wish that it was possible to put stop to
the entire traffic.
Reports have been received here of the
death at his home In Good Thunder,
Mimi. of Alonzo Crane, for many years
resident of this place, where he was en-
gagged in merchantile business until with

purchased farm in Minnesota.

As an incident of the snow blockade in
western Minnesota it may be stated that

time of writing, the first mail for three
weeks had just arrived, and they had just

pie that if the town will raise this 81 900,
they can get the 81 900 voted to the town
by the county board. In this they are
very badly mistaken. If they will read the
law bearing upon the subject, Chapter
1877, Laws of 1885, they will perceive that
it is not as easy TO perpetrate such steal
as they imagine, and the time has not yet
come when the county board of Dodge

trary to law. w.

A FREE-TRADE organ says that salt is
"raw" material, because no labor is re-
quired to produce 1t except that of pro-
viding for the evaporation of brine. This
is like the mass OF free trade absurdities
The brine in the depths Of the earth, or as
it exists in the form of sea-water, is raw
worthless, for it can be put to no human
use. But the machinery, labor and cay
ital required to collect the brine for the
purpose Of evaporation, and then to pack
it for market and get it there, give it value
and take it entirely out of the list OF

THE supreme court of Indiana has rem
dered decision of Importance to Catho-
lies in particular, and to church societies
in general. The case is well-known.
James, son of John Geary, of La Fayette,
died from the effects OF pistol shot, and
without absolution. His father owned a
lot in St. Mary's cemetery, but Father
Walters denied him the right of burial
under the rules of the church. Mr.. Geary
took the matter into the courts, and Judge
Vinton decided against the church. The
remains were then removed from q vault
and inferred in the family lot. The
church claimed that this act desecrated
the lot and ban was pronounced upon
that portion of the cemetery. The church
then built brick wall about the Geary
lot, and in 1885 reconsecrated the desc,
Grated portion without the lot with i'm
posing ceremonies. The church appealed
the case to the supreme court, and its &c,
cision reversed the decision of the lower
court.
