Flames Started Under Oil Tank In .
Grocery store.
The fire department was called out yes
terday morning at $3.50 O'Clock for q fire
in w. H. Halls grocery store, at the cor
ner of McCiaire and Barclay streets, the
origin of which is shrouded in mystery.
Mrs. William Morris, nurse, was re-
turning home, and noticed a bright blaze
in the rear of the store. She Immediately
called up a druggist whose store is near,
and he sent in an alarm. The firemen
reached the scene in quick time, and sue
ceeded in combining the flames in the rear
of the store by use of the chemical fluid
until a line of hose was run. When the
fire was out the damage to stock and
building was calculated at $50 to the
former and $75 to the latter. Insurance
on the stock. $500; on the building, $500.
The popularity of the fire lies in the
fact that it started near or under q large
oil tank. When Chief Hunt took up the
faucet, which had been melted free from
the tank, he discovered that it was open
and had been set by the heat. The chief
said yesterday that the cause would be
put down as unknown, but that the owner
Of the building, II. q. Odell. and w. H.
Hall, the proprietor of the store. thought
it was the work of an incendiary. No
one was seen near the store at the time Of
the discovery of the fire.

Gen. Wesley #. Merritt on Our Regular
Army Of Today.


"ln recent years much has been done to
popnlarize the army with the young men
of the country. BY new regulations SOL
der may be discharged under certain con-
detions after three years service upon his
own application, or he may purchase his
discharge under regulations made in the
interest Of those who have good reasons
for engaging in other pursuits. In addi-
ton to these advantages in the case of
legtlmately severing his connection with
the army. everything possible has lately
been done to improve the daily life of the
soldier. He is furnished with good cloth
ing, excel ent food, means of amusement,
school advantages. which, in addition to
liberal pay. and prospects of promotion
equal TO those of any profession, open to
young men of the country a most desirable
occupation.
"A term of service, judiciously spent in
the army is an advantage to young man,
second only to university course. 1t I'M
proves him physically, broadens his men,
tai views, and fits HIM to compete in life
with the educated and enterprising.
''Some of the most successful men in the
Western country are among those who
have served a term of enlistment in the
army. They are proud of their service
and grateful for the advantages it has
brought them. No young man not having
superior advantages need now hesitate to
adopt the army as an experience which
will increase his opportunities for success
in any profession. Zen. Merritt in "The
