About two o'clock Thursday. morning officer
Goodenough discovered a dense column of
smoke arising from the rear part of Madole S
bakery, and promptly sounded the alarm. The
response from the fire 1addies was prompt, and
their work vigorous, by which the building and
adjacent structures were saved from destruction.
The fire gutted the bakery proper before be-
ing extinguished. destroying everything as far as
it went. The furnace was injured so as to re-
quire a new front, and all the baking utensils
and about twenty sacks of -four put in the day
front were deluged with water, running carpets
and doing much damage to furniture and other
articles.
The fire started in a pile of wood near the
oven.
| Mr.. Madole estimates his loss at about $500,
fully covered by insurance. The loss on the
building, which is owned by Mrs. Otto Sontum,
is about $500, also fully covered by insurance.
But for the timely discovery of officer Good
enough a great confagration of buildings must
have ensued, for the rear part of the bakery
forms part of long row of old crazy wooden
affairs extending west from the north Meridian
street corner.
C. A. Severance and family were the only in
mates of the building, occupying the rooms
facing Main street, over the store department of
| the bakery, and they were unconscious of all
danger until aroused by the commotion.
We remember several other similar occasions
when John, by his faithful rounds, prevented
disastrous fires. Such fidelity to duty is worthy
of commandatory notice, and we are pleased to
pay John just tribute. We have never heard
word of complaint against him.
The same morning about nine clock, smoke
was seen issuing from the basement of the Rid
die Block, but it was found to have originated
from some ignited paper which one of the up
stair tenants had thrown into the waste dump,
which not being smoke-tight, emitted some of
the vapor.

The Sugar Bounty-IIs True In-
WardneSs.

Editor of the Press:
AT the Farmers and Sugar Makers Conven-
ton recently held at Garrettsville, the beauties
C2) of the Sugar Bounty were incidentally limited
at, but in this strong hold of protection, no one
seemed to have the courage to tackle the sub
ject.
In this section the greater part of the maple
product is manufactured into syrup. This syrup
in former years has brought the farmer from Is
cents to 81, 90 per gallon. Now, with the aid of
protection, they may think themselves lucky if
they get an average price of over so cents per
gallon.
The maple orchard has been. in former years,
the rock on which the struggling farmer has
clung for safety from financial engulphment.
but with the change, maple orchards on one
side, and the glorious protective bounty on the
other side, the outlook for remunerative prices
for the maple product is gloomy.
To pay this bounty to the few producers of
sugar, the farmers in this and adjoining counties
will contribute in such a direct way that they
will undoubtedly realize the fact, but they will
be told that they are patriotically supporting an
infant industry of one hundred years of age,
and may possibly nurse and keep in weakly ex-
istence the beet sugar industry, and will un-
doubtedly consent to be MIXED for this patriotic
purpose for another hundred years.

AT the meeting of the State and Local Boards
of Health at Columbus last week, several i'm
portant measures were considered, and the ses-
sion was of the most important ever held
From DR.. M. G. Mcbride, who was present
during the entire session, we learn that a COM
mittee on legislation was appointed, with in
structons to draw up several new bills by which
some very radical and much needed changes
will be made in the sanitary code of Ohio. 1t
proposed, among other measures, to SO revise
the existing laws that physicians, midwives, and
heads of families shall be required to report all
births, and physicians and undertakers all deaths
in each county, township, or other subdivisions
of the State. 1t is a well known fact, that as
the laws now are, the record of births and deaths
are very incomplete and unsatisfactory. For an
illustration, one needs but to examine the mar
riage records of Portage County, and he will
discover that there were 2o5 marriage licenses
during the year 1891, and that notwithstanding
the law requires that the Justice, Mayor or Off
ciatng clergyman to'make due return of every
marriage solemnized by him, under penalty of
$50 fine, many of them have not been returned.
1t needs but moments thought to see the
far-reaching Importance of having complete
records of such matters.
1t is seldom that Assessors perform their full
duty in reporting births and deaths in then ter
ritory, although required by law SO to do. If
one desires legal proof of the birth or death of
particular individual, it is often very hard to
obtain it, and sometimes impossible to do so
simply because there are no complete, reliable
public records.
Another measure is for the Legislature to
create either County Boards of Health with
Township officers, or Boards of Health for each
township. In this way many evils outside of
municipal corporations may be abated, which
now are impossible to be reached.
George P. Hunter, Esq, of Warren, one of
the ablest Sanitary Lawyers in the State, is
Chairman of the Committee, and it is proposed
to introduce a bill embodying these two, and
other measures at the present session of the
Legislature.

1t is not always possible to successfully carry
out a surprise party. Some people can seldom
be caught mapping. And the seventy-five neigh
bors and friends of Mr.. and Mrs. 81 i'm Cutler,
who entered their pleasant home on last Satur-
day evening. are ready to believe that they are
among the number who are not easily surprised,
for when they arrived there they found the house
brilliantly lighted, an extra supply of chairs on
hand, and everything in good shape for the en-
joyment of the crowd. The occasion was the
fifteenth anniversary of their marriage, and was
very much enjoyed by all present. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cutler were presented with a beautiful
