Rain Is Badly Wanted in Northern
Wisconsin.

Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, May 13.-The forest
fires still rage all around this city and
to-day took fresh start. About mile
east of the city they are burning fiercely
and are doing much damage. Across
the bay they also got fresh start back
of where they have been burning, and
are now running through some of the
finest timber in this section. Rain is
the only thing which will quench them.
BLACK RIVER FALLS. Wis, May 49,
Fierce forest fires are raging in every
direction from this city tonight, and
still there are no signs of the much

prevail for another week crops which
looked promising two weeks ago will be
a failure.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 13.-Prairie

buildings at st. Louis will be replaced

timber are being burned along the Oma-

cannot be estimated for some time. 1t is
hoped that in thickly grown districts
there is enough moisture to check the
fires. Settlers along the railroads have
sought refuge here and elsewhere.

Three-Ouarter Mile Track.

ST. LOUIS, May 13.-It is now almost
definitely settled that new three-quar-

East ST. Louis. Grounds are already
secured, and there is plenty of capital
behind the enterprise. The track will
be thoroughly equipped and the ap-
pointments first-class. 1t is the inten-
tlon to race nearly all the year round,
but there will be no conflict with the
regular st. Louis meeting. 1t is said
that work will be begun on the new
track Immediately after the local meet
ing. There seems to be general i'm
preston among bookmakers that the
anti-pool room law will be declared
constitutional.

steamer George Roberts, lying in the
Monongahela river at the foot of Market

of the boat and soon enveloped
the tow boats Eagle and Twilight. lying
alongside. The fire department of this
city was too late and the three boats
were soon completely wrecked. every
thing on board being lost, the crew mar
rowly escaping with their lives. The
handsome Roberts, burned from her
moorings, swung into midstream and
her light upper structure blazing up
like paper made beautiful scene,
far out of reach of the inef-
fectual land fire department. The
government dredges Oswego and Ohio
were in the midst of the flames, but
were saved by the clever work of the
United States marine service on board
each boat. The three boats were
burned to the waters edge, the loss on
the Roberts being $4,000, on the Eagle
$4,000. and the Twilight $4,000, all
partially insured in the Boatman's In
Surance company.

you account for any man of genius?
How account for Gallileo. whose father

greatest of poets. What had been pro-

pictures and statues have been painted

all others. All the colors of the world
