FIRE AT BABCOCk.

The only Hotel in the city burned
about y o'clock Saturday night. The
alarm Of fire aroused the sleeping
inmates of the Oakland Hotel in a very
short time and all was confusion. The
fire originated in the parlor, the posi-
tive cause not known but it is supposed
it began in the chimney. The fire had
gained such Roadway that there was no
time to save much except a few light
articles, many or all Of those in the
| building escaping in their night clothes,
some with their wearing apparel in
their arms and others partly dressed.
| One of the bOarders on emerging from
his room and finding the staircase on
| fire, leaped through the flames to the
bottom of the stairs receiving a sprained
ankle; another was badly cut by smash
ing through a window. One man was
dressed and had escaped to the roof of
a veranda but remembering his gold
watch he returned to his room to get it.
| He had scarcely left the room a second
time when the floor fell in. Another
boarder lost his gold watch and
| considerable money which in his excite
ment he forgot in his vest pocket under
his pillow. The proprietor Of the hotel
was the loser of all his ready money
besides all his furniture including a fine
piano, and their clothing. No one
saved any of their belongings except
what they picked up in their haste and
excitement. The neighbors took in and
provided for the homeless ones as best
they could. 1t was a bitter cold night
and in their scant clothing they were
thankful for any shelter. From the
rapidIty with which the fire spread it is
wonder there were no lives lost. The
fire starting as it did in the parlor soon
cut off escape by the front stairway and
in their hurry it was difficult for those
who were not acquainted with the
building to find the back stairway. We
understand the owners will rebuild
immediately.
LATER.-The fire was discovered by
one Of the boarders, who being sick,
was sleeping in the parlor so as to be
near the stove. The smoke awoke him,
he tried to smother the flames with the
bedclothes, was unsuccessful, and being
confused and choked by the density of
the smoke he could not find the door so
dashed through a window badly cutting
his hands and face besides losing his
watch and SS5 in cash The Hotel was
insured, the amount we were unable to
learn. Insurance on furniture $500
which will not begin to cover the loss.

Suicide at Shullsburg.
The Pick and Cad.

Last Sunday morning as Masters
Clarence SkeWis and Charlie Gillett
were going over to the Skewis resi-
dence, beyond the depot. they saw a
man in the small grove il John
Fishers pasture. They supposed the
man was standing near tree, but up
on nearer approach they discovered he
was hanging from limb of the tree
They fastened to the house and in
formed the family and VIII and James
SkeWis who upon examination found
that the hanging body was that of
William O'Brien. The news was
brought to this city and large crowd
soon gathered at the spot. Judge
Blackstone summoned coroner's jury,
who after a careful investigation de-
cided that the deceased had commit
ted suicide. The deceased was ma
tive of this county and some years
ago removed to Northwestern Iowa
A year ago or so he came back and
located in Darlington in the saloon
business. which proved improbable
and he is said to have lost all his
means. A few days ago he came to
Shullsburg and had been indulging
quite freely in drink. On Saturday he
was about town and seemed to be So
Der, and about five o'clock in the eve
ming he stepped into B. f. Morgan &
Co.'S harness shop and purchased rope
halter shank, paying fifteen cents for
it. 1t is supposed that he soon after
wards went to the place where he
hung himself. Appearances indicate
the utmost deliberation. The slip
knot was carefully made, he climbed
the tree and attached the rope to a
limb about ten feet from the ground,
and swung off from the limb below
upon which he sat. 1t is believed that
the fall broke his neck and that death
was almost instantaneous. The re-
mains were taken to Honeycomb's
undertaking establishment, where
they remained until Tuesday when
they were buried in the Catholic Gem
etery in this city. The deceased was
about q years old and leaves a wife
and two small childfen.

A young man down at Monticello,
in Green county, is being censured
for going out coon hunting on the
evening he was to be married, having
forgotten about his nuptial engage
ment. We fail to see anything cen
surable in this act; because the lady
he was to marry could wait and there
would not be the least danger Of her
leaving the country; whereas if he
had neglected the coon it might have
got away and he would have to go
without bis dinner.

The Liaht of Other DAYS.

The date when man first discovered
how to supply himself with artificial
light must have been very far
back, but many generations went by
before he had anything better than
torches for outdoor use, and for in
door conveniences a wick floating
loosely in a vessel of oil. Gas as an
illuminant is not old, the electric light
is the invention Of yesterday, while
there are thousands of people not yet
three score and ten, whose youthful
lessons were learned by the feeble
CLEAN of tallow candle. In the
country households, the manufacture
of weekly or monthly supply of can
dies came as regularly as wash day.
The soldiers Of the late war remember
"star" candles very well, but doubt
less few can tell whence the name.
The discoverer of process to separate
glycerine and fatty matters from the
stearic acid in the making of candles
was the Frenchman De Mile,
whose factory at Paris was located at
the s'Barriere de lEtoile-" barrier Tor
gate) at the star" and from this cir
cumstance his manufactures were
known as "star" candles. The days
of such illuminators are gone, and the
| luxurious cars of our modern railroads
are lighted by gas or electricity. To
many eyes, however, the electric glare
is unpleasant, but all are satisfied with
the soft yet brilliant illumination of
The Burlington's vestibuled train
by the Frost Dry Carburetor System.

A Serious Accident.


Monday evening about six o'clock,
while attempting to shoot a rat that
had gotten into the buttery, with a
twenty-five rifle, Albert Curry, a well
known young man of this city, acct
IDENTITY shot himself and although his
recovery is probable, is at present III a
very critical condition. He had given
up hopes of finding the rat and turned
to come out of the buttery holding the
rifle in his left hand with the stock
almost dragging on the floor. In some
mar aer the rifle happened to strike
the door casing as he was passing out,
causing it to be discharged
The ball, twenty-five short, entered
his left side between the first and sec
ond ribs and passed upward, lodging
somewhere near the lungs. Doctors
Cronin and Hassell have been attend
ing him since the accident occurred
and have hopes of his recovery.
Albert is a printer by trade and for
the past two years worked in the Teller
office. He quit work about two weeks
ago intending to 60 to Dubuque or
some other city, as soon as he had
recuperated somewhat, not being en-
tireIy well. He had made arrange
ments and intended to leave the city
on Tuesday of this week, the day after
the accident happened.
