Forest fires in the lumber regions of
northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan have during the past week
caused the loss of several hundred lives
and the destruction of great quantities Of
property The scene of the fires forms
belt from fifty to one hundred miles
wide and nearly four hundred miles long,
almost continuous through the northern
parts of the States of Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota. 1t is the most
productive lumber region of the United
States, and has long been the source of
supply for tine central and transmits
sissippi States. The towns and villages
that have been swept away by the fires
were mostly but little more than logging
camps. Some of them, however, had
grown into more or less Importance by
reason Of their situation at the junction
of two railways, or in the center of a
region in which numbering operations on
large scale were going on. More than
40 of these towns were burned, the
largest of them, IInckley, Mimi, hav-
ing a population of 1000. The latest de-
tails of the calamity are given in a dis
patch from Hnckley, which says:
1.-The death-roll resulting from the forest
fires increases and now more than $50 are
known to be lost, the greater part women
and children. Moo in any one direction
but IN every part of the tire-swept dis
trlct the finding of bodies hourly swells
the list. In "A stretch of territory 26 miles
long and from one to fifteen miles wide
not a single human habltation has been
left standing, except section house at
Miller, and in every part of the track of
the flames bodies of men, women. child
ren, horses and cattle are found. The
position of every body found outside of
llnckley shows that shelter of some kind
was sought by the agonized sufferers, and
the dead are found in holes, behind over
turned stumps, trees, marshy depressions
and in every intercourse. Where fire
had full sway not a single tree is stand
ing. except as hlackened stump. Thous-
ands Of trees are Frustrated, and the roots
were burning iiercely up to Monday
evening, when the welcome rain fell. y
careful canvass reveals the fact that -
small settlements, outside of towns, were
victims. As near as can be learned,
there were 800 persons in these homes"

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION!
Too High Pressure.

In these days of keen competition in every
line, when the business man is compelled to
bend his intellect and every energy to the
success of his business the clerk, book
keeper, professional man and laborer, to
drive themselves at a terrific rate, there can
be but one resut-an explosion, which, if
not resulting in immediate death, leaves
them with shattered brains and bodies
They are running at too high pressure
The strain is too great. Something must
and does give way. This is equally true Of
women. Though their sphere is more
limited, they have their daily burdens, frets,
and worries, and the results are the same as
with their stronger companions.
This condition is growing worse every
day. The rapidity of its increase is awful
to contemplate. Our homes, hospitals, and
insane asylums are full of these unfortunates,
and are being crowded still further. There
is but one solution of the matter. Recog-
nize the importance of The situation at once,
and take the necessary measures to over
come it. If you have failing memory, hot
flashes, dizziness, nervous or sick headache,
'bilousness irritsbility, melancholy, sleep
lessness, fainting, nervous dyspepsia, cpl
/ lepsy. etc, know that any one of them is but
symptom of the calamity that may befall
you, and even though you have used So
called remedies and treated with reputable
physicians with little or no benefit, give DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine trial. 1t is
the only remedy that may be depended
upon for nervous disorders.

severe in their criticism of the way the
work of searching for the dead was being
prosecuted as the men were apparently
liStleSS, and there was none OF that energy
which might be expected where the labor
ers were endeavoring to save the remains
Of unfortunate brothers. They were max
ing a hole down into the RUNS, when, as
Lieut.. Kelly pointed out, they could have
made great deal more Roadway by pulling
out the debris through the immense doors
on h street, which virtually made the
Stumphs have an entire open front on that
thoroughfare. 1t was believed that the
bodies of the two missing men would be
found nearer k street than those of their
companions, brought to light yesterday, as
1t was probable they had reached the
ground floor and were making their way
out when the superstructure above them
fell and buried them in a fiery gave.
A Talk With Mr.. Walter Stumph.
Mr.. Walter Sturnph.l enc of the proprie
tors of the factory, was at the scene all
day, and in conversation with Star re-
porter, said that all the men missing, as
we'll as those identified were at work on
the fourth floor. .'H
There were seven men at work there"
he remarked, land / Thought, last night,
that all of them had been lost. but this
morning l saw one of them around here-I
don't know his nifne-so there are six TO be
accounted for. OF these, the bodies OF w.
P. Tennyson and Willie Ashe have been
identified, while two un-ecognized bodies
have also been recovered. / believe there
are two bodies still in the ruins. The four
missing men. theI efore, are Henry Fowler,
who was the foreman; Philip Alderman,
cabinet maker. who was employed on fold
ing BEDS Robert EeitZeil, a weaver of
spring beds, and a German who was en-
ployed only four or five days ago. but who
lived with Alderman over there across the
street at No. 63i Massachusetts, avenue"
Inquiry at No. GA developed the German
name to have been Philip Reichman, who
was also a cabinet maker, whose speciality
was making folding beds.
Amount of LOSS Yet Uncertain.
Mr.. Stumph said it had been impossible
for him to give any thought to the matter
of estimating the losses, and neither could
ne designate the companies carrying the in
surance, which amounted to about $4,000
on stock and building. The loss of the
Stumph Brothers will probably reach three
times this amount. The Woodruff File
Holder Company suffers nearly - otal loss'
from the walls falling upon 1t, and its first
story is filed with wreckage. The loss is
unknown, but II is understood that 5000
insurance was carried. George l.. Benner.

AN INVESTIGATION TOMORROW.

Deputy Coroner Glaxebrook Finally
Decides to Inquiry Into the Fire.
When Deputy Coroner Glazebrook visited
the raorgue last night to see the bodies and
give directions concerning the disposition
of them he found a large crowd of men,
women and children gathered in and about
the little building, most of them attracted
there by morbid curiosity, while a few
were there for the purpose of identifying
relatives or friends. He soon had the crowd
out of the building and then he gave orders
that the general public should not be ad-
mitted, and told the janitor to admit only
| such persons as those who had relatives
or friends In the building at the time of the
fire.
After looking at the bodies DIR. Glaze
brook said he deemed an inquest unnec-
essary, and told persons interested in the
dead ones that he would issue the death
certificates.
| This morning when a Star reporter called
to see DR.. Glazebrook the latter had not
changed his mind concerning the necessity
| of an Investigation.
1T won't be necessary to hold an in
quest he said, because the deaths re-
suited from what was clearly an accident.
| If the case had been similar to that of the
Fords Theater disaster, involving the col
| lapsing of a building, matters would have
been different and 1 should have held an
inquest. But this disaster Is similar to the
Knox fire, and 1t seems that there is no
one % blame for II. Ii was fire with all
the unfavorable conditions, and just as
soon as it caught 1t swept through the
whole building.
Il have issued orders to the morgue and
hosrital to have individual underwriters
come to me and get the certificates"
In response to a question the doctor said
he would Issue certificates of accidental
DEATH.
Later on" added the doctor should IL
be deemed necessary to hold an inquest, 1
will have the police summon jury TO hear
the evidence"
At little before 2 o'clock this afternoon
DR.. Glazebrook telephoned The Star office
that an investigation into the circumstances
Of the fire would take place tomorrow morn
ing at IL o'clock ct the fifth precinct sta
