Stro sliliiaIs Eros. Foundry and Machine
Shop Completely TEained 10y Fire.

From the Journal.
One Of the most disastrous fires ever
in West Superior occurred W ednesday
night at $50 an alarm was sounded to
which the department responded
promptly. The fire was located at once
and proved to be Strothman Bros. ma
chine shop and foundry on Tower Bay
at the foot of Ogden avenue. The
firemen made good time and was soon
working upon the flames, which, upon
their arrival had completely envel0ped
the entire north end of the building.
At the beginning it was thought that
the machine department would be
saved, but in few moments it was
evident that the entire building must
go. The iiremen worked faithfully
but ii was seen at once that something
was lacking at the progress Of the fire
was not apparently checked. 1t was
thought by many that if the fremen
had entered the building on the start,
that they would have succeeded in
getting control Strothman Bros. came
to Superior from Minneapolis in the
spring Of 1883, had built up fine bust
ness, and are one of the solid concerns
at the head of the Lake. The build
ing was of solid brick, but is probably
a total loss. About thirty men were
employed, and the firm was in a pros

\ week ago the West End Chamber
ol commerce seemed TO be struck by
a spasm OF righteous Indignation
at the nasty action of the village Coun-
Gil III letting the contract OF the high
toned crematory, and no doubt Justly
censnred that body for such action, and
brother Stow led the attack for an
honest investigation If the matter. OF
course 1t soon developed that such an
investigation would knock both the
crematory and the Council silly" so

The extreme, and no doubt the angels
went Tor their hip pockets for handker-

gone, and the world still moves. The
blood has been washed off and the
wounded patriots are al doing as wen
as could be expected under the cir

headed their tickets with better men.
but the few bosses ON both sides had it
all arranged even before the charter
was granted and there was no change
TO be thought Of. 1t was a case Of the
people be ID ON the part of the
bosses, especially so in the republican
party. For instance the delegates in
the convention of Saturday from the
first ward knew, if they new ANYTHING
about i at al, that Mr.. Ross could not
begin to carry The first ward nor the
second ward, and yet they, having the
power to nominate or reject him, nom
mated him The committee put no
workers III the field, but left an I'M

RAISING TURKEYS.

The turkey under domestication is a
difficult bird to raise, and requires great
care and constant attention for the first
month of its life. If the mother is al
lowed to wander out with her brood into
the wet grass in the morning or after
showers, the chicks are very likely, to
take cold and die. The young birds
should be confined in a pen or coop until
they are strong enough to bear the fa-
tigue of wandering about the field. Fol
the first day after the chicks are hatched
they should not be fed or disturbed. Il
the eggs hatch irregularly, then the first
chicks to come out should be removed
and fed when twenty -four hours old, and
returned to the nest when all the egg
are hatched. The first food should bt

tablespoon of sulphur should always b,
thrown in the nest at the time of giving
the bird the eggs, and this will prevent
lice breeding on the old bird or infesting
the chicks. In regard to employing com.
mon barnyard fowls as mothers for tur
keys authorities differ. Some claim thai
the hen turkey is never so good mothei
as the hens Of. our ordinary barnyard
fowls, on account of her natural roaming
habits, while others are quite as pro
nounced. in her favor. But as the eggs
of our barnyard fowls hatch in from
eighteen to twenty-one days, while thost
of the turkey in from twenty-six tc
thirty, there is danger of the common
hen abandoning her nest at the end Of
her natural period of incubation Of three
weeks. The Brahmas, Cochins and
similar large and heavy breeds of fowls
are usually large enough to sit month il
necessary. and for this reason make very
good mothers for turkeys.-Nev Yorl
