OUR NE|GHBORS LOSS.
WanSan Suffers a Great L oss By Fire
on Sunday Iune 18TH.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel we
obtained the following account of the
fire: "The loss by the big brewery fire
Sunday is over 100000. The fire origi-
mated in the sleeping rooms of the
George Ruder Brewing companY's
mammoth plant on Grand avenue in
the south part of the city and spread
rapidly. The Fire department res
pended promptly and worked gallantly,
but were almost powerless to cope with
the flames famed by a gale. Soon
Ruder's brewing plant, consisting Of
three ice houses, malt house, engine
house, Office, storage rooms, warehouse
brew house and large stock and
residence were burned to the ground:
loss over $4,000. On the south, Park
hall, valued at $4,000, owned by the
George Ruder company and John
Patzer, also burned; insurance, 81 100
in the German American of New York,
and 81 100 in the Concordia of Milwau-
kee. On the north stood the enormous
plant of Frank Mathie Brewing COM
pany which caught fire and was saved
only through the most heroic and per-
sistent efforts of tiremen, proprietors,
employees and others. Loss on this
building is about $1,000. Covered by
insurance.
lions Lutheran school, two blocks
away, caught fire from flying cinders
and was destroyed; loss about $1,000.
At one time, with the fierce gale blow
ing the fire toward the heart of the city,
| it looked as though Wausau's most
populous residence and business dis
tricts would be laid waste, but for
tunately the wind veered and blew
| from the southeast and the danger was
averted.
1t seemed for time that the hand
some S23, 900 church just completed by
the Irish Catholic congre cation would
go, but it was saved, though not until
tower and roof had caught fire several
times. The residence of the pastor, the
Rev. Father Richards, who is absent
from the city on q sick call, was saved
by hard work. Residences for blocks
around were saved by keeping the roofs
wet down Goods and household
furniture and school and church furni-
ture were all moved out. The George
Ruder Brewing company which sus-
tanned the great weight of the loss has
had its plant in operation thirty-two
years and did large business at home
and in cities throughout Northern Wis
consin. It's loss is severe as it carried
but $4,000 insurance, divided as
follows: Htna, Hartford, Conn, 50, 800;
New York Underwriters agency, So, 500;
Germania, New York, $4,000, repre-
sented by Wheeler & Zimmerman;
Liverpool, London and Globe, 81 900,
by III. B. Huntington; Phoenix, Hart
ford, 81 900, by J. J. Sherman & Co..
The Brewing company will rebuild its
plant on a larger and more complete
| scale

DOUBLE THE CAPACITY,
Tile Prosperity Of tie South Cfnhulia
Paper NIL warrants another
Machine.

At the last meeting of the directors
of the South Centralia Pulp and Paper
mill which took place Monday in
Centralia, they declared and paid a
dividend of per cent. At this same
session they decided to erect another
building the same size of the present
one in which they would place another
machine of the same capacity of the
present one. Work will be commenced
Immediately. The paper industry on
the Wisconsin river is proving to be
as profitable and of finer quality, than
that manufactured in the Fox River
valley. The Milwaukee Sentinel in
Wednesdays issue contained the
following correct statement in this
matter:
The directors of the Centralia Pulp
and Water Power company held an
important meeting to-day, at which it
was decided to pay a dividend of 5 per
cent, and to put up another paper mill
without increasing the capital or assess
ing the present stock. This shows a
very prosperous condition of the paper
trade in this valley. The Wisconsin
River Pulp and Paper company, which
started up with one machine Ola inch)
less than six months ago, has already
contracted for another, to be in
operation within ninety days, and talks
of building another dam across the
river at the Sherman power, which it
now owns. These signs of prosperity
by those located here have attracted
the attention of paper makers in other
directions, and in addition to the KIM
berly Clark company, which has secured
an option on the Pioneer Pulp Co. plant
in this city, strong paper company in
the east is looking for power on which
to erect a ground wood and sulphite
plant, paper mill with four machines
and daily capacity of thirty to forty
tons. Though they have not yet
decided on location the indications
are they will secure the power they
want within few miles of this city.

It's unfortunate to be sick, but it's a salts

strangers to one another, but all had
one purpose in view-a shopping tour.
Each had been thoroughly surveyed by
all her neighbors, and, there being no
perceptible difference in dress, they had
settled themselves into condition Of
fashionable dignity. The effort was
neither graceful nor easy and the faces
Of the party wore a mixture of express
sions that would delight the heart OF a

lady's face had undergone very ma

board steamer instead Of cable car
it would have caused no surprise to tho
others had she suddenly taken to the
weather rail. The countenance Of the
youngest of the quintet had evidently
been started in the right direction, but
q long-continued strain Of self-con-
seriousness had entirely obliterated
every vestige of loneliness or dignity
and now suggested only sheepishness

idiotically at nothing and tried to grasp
it with its little fists. The frigidity of
the ladies' department vanished before
the warm sunshine of its presence; all
social or other barriers were broken
down and one whispered audibly to her
neighbor: "Isn't it lovely baby?"
"What sweet eyes!' said another. How
old is your baby?" one Of the ladies
asked of the proud mother. Five

reply and then followed chorus of
