never fail to pass laws to prevent the
same whenever it is possible to do so.
They have got to the point in Ohio

They have commenced proceedings to

ELL1NwooD sooRoHED.

About APO Friday morning of last
week farmer who was up early to go
to threshing crew discovered fire in
the rear of Theo. Austerhous' tailor
shop in Ellinwood, and gave the alarm.
Before any concerted effort could be
made to stop the fire it had spread be-
yond control, and in short time swept
from existance all the frame buildings
in the block, from Petz s. Schulte's to
the street north.
First to 60 was the tailor shop, one
story frame owned by Col. Huffman,
Insurance $3.50; the contents saved with
the exception of loss of about $50
worth.
Next, was the Commercial house, a
two-story building, owned and occupied
by VIM. FEEDER. It carried ST. 1000 in
surance; the contents we're saved, with
the exception of dishes and stoves.
The billiard hall, one-story, owned
by the Widow Cline stood on the north
corner; was insured for $500; partial
loss of contents.
Jake Dressen's restaurant occupying
a one-story frame owned by Isaac
Bacon-no insurance-next succomed
to the flames.
A frame building back of Petz &
Schulte's butcher shop, used as store
room, was also burned to the ground,
and the north wall of their brick build
ing somewhat injured.
There was very little wind at the
time, from the northeast. Had the
wind been blowing hard the town
would have been in danger from being
wiped from the face of the earth, as it
has no means of protection from fire,
other than individual efforts with
buckets.
It els an unfortunate blow to the
town, but we believe Ellinwood's bust
ness men are of the kind that will not
be discouraged, but will 60 to work and
soon have handsome brick structures
where now only ashes appear.
A Babcock engine, or a powerful
to furnish a supply of water, would
give the town good protection from
future fires.
On Saturday two rough looking
characters were found in possession OF
boxes of cigars, some ''hop-tea" and
other goods, and were suspected OF
having some connection with the fire
they were arrested. charged with house
breaking. County Attorney Hotchkiss
examined the evidence and prisoner s
but found no evidence sufficient t.
make a case against them, and the.
were turned loose and advised to shak,
the dust of Barton county from thei
feet. They were, by-the-way, the sam,
men who were under arrest at Hoising
ton at the time of the recent fire there
Whether or not they had any connec
ton with :the fires, it is thought tina
they will better maintain their physica
vigor by staying away from this vicinity

A Halifax special says: A cable

French warships mt st. Georges

take or buy bait there. Under the
treaty OF 1918, Americans have the
same rights Us the British on the
French shore, and they never before
have been interiorcd with. Tho con-

GREAT GUNS.

How They Are Made aai what They Cost.
The forging OF the immsn5e guns is
q most interesting process. The ritied
guns OF the present are kade by re-
enforcing the tubc with rings and re-
peatoi layers of steel called jackets,
which are fitted one over the other
over the original tube Or barrel of the
gun. The jackets or hoops must fiji Us
closely TO the guns as if forming an in
tegral part of its composition. Tho
only way to get them on is, of course,
Ly heating, and thus charging them.
When they cool they tit snugly. 1t Is
evident that the exact size Of the jacket
and ring when heated SO that it can be
put in its place must be matter of the
incest mathematical calculation. The
coarse powder now used makes such
havoc with the riding of the largest
guns that ono hundred charges are
about all that can be expected from
them. The jackets and ings can then
be removed, and fitted to mother tube.
The various parts Of II gun arc not
nut together at Bethlehem, but are
Bont to Washington, 20 Il departm mt
of the Arsenal called the assembling
loOm where the tube is riiled. and the
gun is finally completed. A steel gun
of the largest calibr5 costs about 500,
600. The ordnance of our modern
navy is therefore one of the most costly
items for which Congress is expected
TO display patriotic generosity.

NEWS FROM THE CHARLESTON.
She Touches at Callao Having Seen
Nothing of the Itata.

The navy department May 9th, re-
ceived the first news from the Charles
ton since she left Acapulco the first Of
last week in continued pursuit of the
Itata. When the vessel failed TO
ouch Panama within the time cxpec-
ted the department said it was very
probable il had been decided TO keep
straight on down the coast and that
the Charleston would DC heard from
at some Peruvian port. This predic-
ton is fulfilled, for the port at which
the Charleston announced her arrival
is Callao. The whereabouts Of the
Itata are as far from being known as
before, for Captain Remey reported he
had seen nothing of the ltata on their
cruise down the coast. The Charles
ton will join the squadron under Adj
miral Mccain in Chilean waters and
it is surmised a report will at no dis
tant date come thence announcing the
peaceful surrender by the insurgents
of the elusive craft which the United
States government will libel and per-
haps forfeit for the violation OF ncu-
trality laws.

we are standing to-day on tho bor-

in the domain of life. 1t seems to be
region rich in the promises of benefit
TO man, when after patient toll we
shall have learned more of the re-
lationship3 of these tiny organisms to
one another and to higher forms. The
richest harvest garncred hitherto in
this domain has been the power to
understand the cause of certain dread
human scourges and thus to stay their
progress.
In the face of threatened epidcmics
of Asiatic cholera we stand to-day

maternity have largely lost their
vagueness, and with this their power
TO harm. The great cloud which for
so many years has hung low over the
heads of the children of tubercular
parents has at length begun to roll
away. The terrible epidemic scourgej
of fsrmer times no Longer haunt the
