About 5 o'clock in the afternoon,
last Thursday, August "a, a fire
broke out in three story brick
house in South Chicago. A high
wind prevailed at the time. The
wind carried and started fire in many
nlaces, and before the flames were e1-
tinouisbed some 300 houses were de-
stroyed, 1000 people were homeless
and million dollars worth OF prop
erty was destroyed.

Epileptic Infancy of Great Men.

Sir Andrew Clark is quoted as saying
at meeting recently held in London to
promote the founding of a colony for
epileptics: ut was singular fact, and
had been proved by specialists, that a
large proportion of our great men,
from Newton to Charles Darwin, were
sickly in their infancy-in fact, they
had been epileptics-and yet when they
attained to manhood they were capable
of doing great things"

Capt. Alex. McDoughall and the Mer-
ritt brothers, leading owners OF the
Mesaba range mining properties. who
control the Mountain Iron mine, which
shipped two cargoes of ore last season
and which is one of the most important
properties on the range, have been in
New York consulting with the eastern
directors of the barge company, who
have furnished so much money for the
big West Superior ship building enter
prise. On his return, Capt. Nc
Dougall annourc ced that another big
installment of money will be inn
mediately applied to tho building OF
moro barges. Details are not given
ont, bat it is understood that the barge
company has concluded an agreement
with tho Mesaba mine owners. probably
in the way Of stocks in the barge
company and an advancement of some
money for mining operations, whereby
the new boats to be built, as we'll as
those already in commission, will have
additional assurance Of plenty Of ore
to carry in the future. This arrange.
mont, if il is interpreted rightly, will
add to the control of business which

Edison's Iron Campaign,

A correspondent from the Lake SUI
perior regioo writes:
There is wild rumor afoat to the
effect that Edison has bought the old
Spur mine, which contains immense
quantities Of mixed ore, and will set u
thousand men at work there soon, mix
ing the stu and separating the ore
from the rock. Mining countries are
prolific of all sorts of astounding ru-
mOrs.
If the rumor had said simply that
Edison and his associates had tho Spur
mine under lease, and would resume
concentrating operations there at an
early day, it would have been close to
the exact fact. Mr.. Edison regards
his "iron campaign" as the most i'm
portant in all his vsried lines of re-
search, and close to S1,000,00O repre-
sents tho outlay thus far in his
magnetic separating plants and his ex-
perimental work. Only a short time
ago, IN letter to this paper, Mr.. Edi-
son promised that operations at the
Michigan properties of his Western
company, which has its office in Chi
cago, would be resumed in 80. This
is understood to mean that the inven-
tions upon which Mr.. Edison las been
busly at work for the psst few years
at his New Jersey plant have succeeded
to his liking and that obstacles which
have stood iu the way OF complete sue
cess have been removed.
To concentrate lean ores until tue
product IL brought well within the
Besscmer limit would be sufficiently
profitable operati ~, on its face, since
the lean ores at the Spur mine exist
]vast qua .t,ties and can be che,rIy
mined; the problem to be solved is
how to handle the refractory element
cheaply, and with only moderate in
vestment Tor rrduc ion plant, so rs 10
compete with high grs.ie ores at the
low prices now prevailing. This, we
are informed, NJ. Ed son believes he

PORTAGE ENTRY.

DIR. Melosche, physician at The
Portage Entry quarries, was shot by q
Finlsnder named Erick Kangas, Friday
night, and died of the wound Sunday
morning.
The cause OF the shooting is reported
substantially as follows: A drunken
row had taken place about midnight in
Finnish saloon kept by Hartela g.
TalIi' in which one Jacob Nusimaki was
severely stabbed and otherwise wound
ed DR.. Melosche was called to dress
the wound, but he had been summoned
so frequently Of late to dress wounds
received in saloon fights that he refused
to go, but stated that if they would
bring the man to his Office he would
take care Of him. The messengers le-
ported what the doctor had said when
Kangas. who was present said I'll go
and fetch him. I'll make him come.
We pay him GO cents month 10 attend
us and he dare not refuse"
Proceeding to the doctors house he
knocked at the door, boisterously de-
manding admittance. DR.. Melosche
asked him what he wanted and Kangas
replied in n very lnsolent way that he
must come and attend the injured man.
The doctor refused as before and told
him to lripg the man TO his flee
whereupon Kangas commenced kickIng
the door. DIR. Melosche told him il he
attempted to break in the door he
would shoot him, but at the same
time he opened the door and no sooner
was it open than Kangas fred and
then ran away. The ball entered the
right side between the ninth and tenth
ribs and lodged in the liver.
Medical aid was summoned from
Houghton as soon as possible and
everything done for the wounded man,
but all of no avail.
Kangas was promptly arrested and
is held to await the result of an inquest
by Justice Selden. 1t is said that the
shooting was prompted by All old
grudge which Kangas bore toward the
doctor. Last summer the doctor lost
valuable driving horse by poisoning and
suspicion pointed strongly to this mis-
creant as the perpetrator. If he gets
his just dues. he will serve the balance
of his life in states prison.
