Young & Chalmers have completed their
new ice house on Hillside avenue and are
now putting up small house on the op-
posite side of the street from 1t to fiji with
ice without packing for early spring de-
livery. The new building has a capacity
of about 1000 tons, and another building
near by which the firm will use, will hold
about 1900 tons. The small building new
going up on the north side Of the street
Will hold about 800 tons and the concern
has another house at the Head of the Falls
which will hold about the same as this
last named one. Altogether the company
will be well equipped for storing and
handling the ice, as the new houses on
Hillside avenue are so situated that in fill
ing hem the teams can be taken on the
side hill opposite and the blocks slid down
a chute even to the top of the building.

Java's Island of Fire.

The greatest natural wonder in Java, II
not in tho entire world, is the Justly celc.
brated "Ghcko Kamdka Gumko," or
'Home of the Hot DEVILS known to tho
world as the Island of Fire" This geo.
logical singularity is really a lake of boil.
ing mud, situated at about the center of
the plains Of Grobogana, and is called an
island because the great emerald sea of
vegetation which surrounds it gives il
that appearance. The island" is about
two miles in circumference, and is situat-
ed at distance of almost exactly so miles
from Solo. Near the center of this geolor-
ical freak immense columns of soft, hot
mud may be seen continually rising and
falling like great timbers thrust through
the boiling substratum by giant hands
and then again quickly withdrawn. Be-
sides the phenomenon of the boiling mud
columns there are scores of gigantic bub-
blcs of hot slime that fill up like huge bal
looms and keep up series of constant OK
plosions, the intensity of tho detonations
varying with the size of the bubble. In
time past, so the Javanese authorities saw
there was tall spirelike column of baked
mud on the west edge of the lake which
constantly belched pure stream of cold
water, but this has long been obliterated
and everything is now a seething mass of
bubbling mud and slime.-St. Louis Re.

And You May Be Sure That We Will Have It
octi6d3mo

Considering the inclemency OF the
Weather. there was very good attendance
at the closing night of the Unitarian fair,
last evening. The drama "Rebecca and
Rowena. " which was given on the first
night was repeated and was even better
presented than on the first night. Mr..
Blanchard and Mr.. Keith did very credit
able work, while the acting of Miss Proc
ter and Miss Rogers was well done. A
large number enjoyed the dance following
the stage performance. The fair has been
a success financially, though the exact
amount realized cannot be determined for
a day or two till the several accounts are
adjusted Nearly all the articles for sale
were disposed of and the refreshment
booths have been well patronized, while
good audiences have been in attendance
every evening.

1t looked bit winterish about
O clock, last evening, to see the snow pillow
and car stuck at the lower end of Main
street, with the wheels flying around and
around on the rail every time the power
was applied, the snow whsking around
in sheets all the while. The delay was
not long, however, and the cars were moved
after a good application of dry sand.
