An Unfortunate Fire.


w. S. Dicksons immense barn six
miles south west of here burned to the
ground Friday morning with all contents
Except some three hundred bushel of oats.
About ten minutes past six an employee
while at the house saw some smoke iSsu-
ing from the middle part of the south side
Iof the barn and an alarm was given.
They were completely handicapped in the
matter as they dare not attempt to get in
where the smoke was coming out for the
|opening made by such movement would
have given the flames better draft and
made the fire more intense. They set the
large pump to work and the men divided,
the larger part of them getting out what
grain they could. The three hundred
bushels of oats was all that was saved,
and five hundred tons of hay one thous-
and bushels of barley and sixteen hum
dred bushels of oats went up in the
smoke before Mr. DiXon'S eyes and those
of his helpers, employees and neighbors.
They were powerless to stop the rapid
spread of the fire and in a short time the
second largest barn in the county lay IN
ashes where for but one year it had stood,
the pride of all the surrounding country.
1t was a very large and extremely well
built structure with two distinct parts.
The cow shed was 60X120 and the hay
barn 40x1O0 making it on average about
22Ox50 feet The barn was put up less
than year ago at cost of So, 600 to re-
place the one destroyed by fire short
time before that with much Of its con-
tents Mr. Dickson, who is president of
the Wisconsin Dairy Company at Chicago,
seems to be very unfortunate regarding
fires There was comparatively small
insurance on the property. No stock was
burned. Mr.. Dickson thinks that it was
case of spontaneous combustion; that
the hay had become heated and that
it is probable that the fire had been
smouldering there for days. The loss will
reach in the neighborhood Of S12, 900.

The Caledonia Building and Loan AS
ISOLATION.

We Inadvertently omitted in our last
issue an account of the meeting of the
Caledonia Building and Loan Association
which was called to take place Monday
evening, but was adjourned until
Tuesday evening because Of the absence
of several officers.
President Cavanagh made a few point
ed remarks on the workings and advan-
tages of the associations and showed con-
clusively that the benefits to be derived
from the association were great. He
complimented the shareholders regarding
the success of the organization since it's
origin and expressed his deep regret that
est Of the association his own, had rdecid-
ed to resign the position of secretary on
account of i'll health.
Messrs. Hugh Innes, E. L. Grant and
John O'Donnell were elected directors and
Mr. Innes was rendered a vote of thanks for
the time he had spent and the interest he
had exhibited in making the business Of
the association the successful one that 1t
has been and Will be- After the meeting
Mr. E. L. Grant was elected secretary Of
the association and we might add that his
qualifications are such that the Caledonia
Building and Loan Association has reason
to be congratulated'fo for the choice that has
been made.
Mr. Innes retires from the secretaryship
with the thanks of the entire membership
and the association has lost very able
officer.
A building and loan association is a
good thing for any town if its workings
are similar to the one here. 1t improves
the town. enhances the value of real es-
tate and places more poor men as owners
of homes than any other method to be
employed Even in the first year just
passed of the associations existence
marked improvement in the condition Of
its members may be already clearly seen
and we predict better circumstances and
more thrift each year for it's members as
time rolls o. No better investment can
be made. 1t is the only thing in which
both parties interested make gain.
The following officers have been elected
| for the ensuing year
President-James Cavanagh
| e-PreSIdent-Geo A. Yule.
! Treasurer-R. f. Howe
Secretary-E. L. Grant.
Loan Commit tee-James Pennefeather,
| John O'DOnnell, E. l.. Grant.

The Old Settlers Grounds to be Moved

The Old Settlers Grounds to be Moved.
There seems to be no question now re-
garding the moving of the old settlers
grounds to place on the railroad. The
Observation-Disclosures man called upon
Hon. E. 6. Timme yesterday and asked his
views about the matter. Mr.. Timme has
been looking after the subscriptions in
this city He said that "the movement
on foot to change the location was moving
along at rapid rate and that he finds a
unanimous sentiment in this city as well
as in Somers and Pleasant Prairie in favor
of the movement. The old settlers are
unable to make such trip overland. It
is clearly out Of the question. A large
number of the old settlers including Col.
NJ. Frank, were unable to attend on &C
count Of the long ride, while if the loca-
ton had been upon the railroad, they
could all have gone. 1t is a day for the
old settlers and the position of no one else
in the matter should be consulted The
young people are able to make the trip
easily but it is the old settlers whose con-
venence must be looked after If the
grounds are located on railroad those
who were absent may be enabled to at
tend
[ have charge of the subscription paper
for Kenosha and am situated in pecu-
liarly favorable manner to feel the pulse
and ascertain the sentiment of the people
here, which is undoubtedly in favor of
grounds upon the railroad, and l find a
number of prominent men here who sig
Nifty willingness and anxiety toward
subscribing for the improvement Of old
settlers property, but positively decline to
do SO while it is located at Paddock S
Lake. So it is on every hand. There is
a general demand for the removal Of the
place of holding these gatherings to some
place on the railroad and unless this de-
mand is properly recognized, we will have
hard work to make the future meetings a
success.
Some people have talked a great deal
about Silver Lake. Hooker Lake would
answer the purpose equally we'll But so
far as that is concerned it need not be on a
lake at all. We have $500 already raised
under any circumstances and if the loca-
ton is changed no trouble will be found
to raise much larger amount"

Fire Department Excursion.

The Fire Department held meeting on
Monday night at the city hall to transact
important business. At this meeting it
was decided to give an excursion on next
Saturday to Milwaukee and return at 81
for the round trip. The train will leave
here at about $40 IN the morning, and
leave Milwaukee at p. M, giving a day
of general pleasure in the Cream city
The proceeds of this excursion will go TO-
ward making some needed improvements
in the department and should be generally
encouraged and patronized. tT
When one stops moment and gives
the volunteer fire department question a
little deep thought they cannot help but
admire the modest heroism displayed in
the organization. There is no organiza
ton in existence to-day that does more for
the safety of life and property in a town
like this than an organization of this
kind. Through mere public spirit they
brave the elements and leave their homes
at any hour to assist in saving property
from the devouring flames, oftentimes at
great risk and sometimes loss Of health
from the exposure met in the line of duty.
Sometimes they are thanked and somL-
times not. One thing is certain, that no
word of praise Of their labors is oVer-esti-
mated and in any project by which they
are to be improved they should be met
with the encouraging hand of the public.
Let us all attend their excursion.

To increase the salaries OF the guards
and cook at the workhouSe from $40 to
To Si5 per month. There were some
heavy cuts, amounting in some cases to
20 per cent, made in salaries two years
ago. and the disposition seems TO be "a
restore about ten per cent. OF this.
At last evenings session Of the Com
mittee on Health, the fact that the as
sistant at the cFematOry has TO work
twelve hours for Si.5O per day, while 4
city laborcr gets Sl.75 for nine hours

Death of L. j. Glannon.

The death OF Thomas Joseph Glannon,
which took place at the home OF his
daughter, Mrs. NJ. Dolan, in Benwood,
at II o'clock yesterday morning, is sad
occurrence. Mr.. Glannon was native
of Galway, Ireland, and emigrated to
this country in 1853. He came to
Wheeling in 1873. He was seventy
three years of age at the time of his
death, aud had he lived week longer
would have celebrated his golden we'd
din. His wife and six children survive
him.
The family residence is in part Of the
Windsor Hotel building, and just before
Mr.. Glannon was taken sick, the family
moved temporarily to Mrs. Dolan's, in
BenwOod, as the house was to be remod-
eled and repaired. His remains will be
taken to his home, 1885, Main street,
this morning, where the funeral will
take place.

more.
