STURGEON BAY. Wis, Jan. 12.-
Fire in the residence of Banker James
Keough at an early hour this morning

of the family and the domestic were
badly burned and one severely cut with
glass. Mr.. Keough's burns are of a
very serious nature. Mrs Keough was
sick in bed, and the shock and burns
she received, it is feared, will cause
her death. All the members of the
family were sound asleep, with the
exception of the two eldest girls. who
were just returning from a party when
the lamp in the sitting room exploded.
filling the room almost instantly with
burning oil.
Mr.. Keough saved four children by
heroic dashes through the flames Up
stairs were two daughters. When
awakened the downstairs part of the
house was ablaze, but one rushed down
and out doors, receiving only slight
injuries The other feared the result,
and broke the window, being badly cut.
By this time the young men outside
had formed a human ladder three high
by standing on each others shoulders,
and were enabled to reach the distract
ed girl, who was also badly cut about
the body in getting out, being clad
only in her night dress.

FIFTY NEW POSTERS.
They Grace the Walls of the Studio
Club.

Inc poster exhibition which was
brought to Minneapolis in the face of
encouraging prospects, very fortunate
~ mas struck popular chord. and
now promises to we'll repay the orig
1nators. The attendance last week
was very good, and so great was the
demand that it will be kept open two
weeks, instead of one, and the manage
ment has decided to close next Satur
day night, instead of last Saturday
night. Over fifty ST. Paul enthusiasts
petitioned the Studio club to hold the
exhibit open one week longer. This
public interest is encouraging. and
shows that Minneapolitans appreciate
a good thing, even in art Since the
opening Of the show fifty new designs
nave been received. Bird Louis Rhead
Ethel Read and Edward Penfield have
sent number of original designs to
be exhibited, and others have been re-
ceIVed daily, which considerably en-
larges the exhibition. The finest speci-
men received recently is the large de-
sign by Moucha, of Paris, in gold and
blues, sixteen feet long and three feet
wide. This magnificent picture has
attracted great attention. The Studio
club promises that another poster show
will be brought here before MANY
months, since SO much public interest
has been aroused. 1t is easily the
finest ever given in the West, and the
finest artists in the country are rep
resented by originals, which shows
that they have confidence in the Stu
dio clubs exhibit. The exhibition will
close next Saturday evening, which
will make it exactly eighteen days in
duration.

Machine Which, VIII RevOIutionize
Beet Sugar Making.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 5.-Details of a new
method Of evaporating sugar beet Juice, which
bids fair to revolutionize- sugar making, were
today made public by H. H. Nicholson. profess
SCR of chemistry in the University of Ne
braska. The new process, which is SIMPLE
ity itself, is controlled by two New York men,
Alexander Symington and w. G. McDougall,
and by the apparatus the cost of factories for
evaporation would be, exclusive of royalties,
from $4,000 to $4,000, whereas the multiple
effects" usually four in each factory, cost
from SIS, 600 to 100000.
The apparatus, briefly stated consists of a
copper cylinder, about thirty feet long and
eighteen inches in diameter, set at a slight
pitch, and makes about eighteen revolutions q
minute. This is surrounded by an outer jack
ct, the space between being filed with steam
pipes. blast fan at one end draws off the
air as soon as it is loaded up with the vapor.
This juice is turned in at the upper end of the
top cylinder. 1t then passes through the other
cylinder and comes out brown, sticky, raw su-
gar, technically known as "masse-cuite"
This raw sugar can be put in cardboard bar
rels that cost almost nothing and shipped to
the end of the EARTH if desired, for refining
There is a great saving in time, and, with a
central refinery, Prof. Nicholson thinks there
could be an almost unlimited number of fac

TOMBsToNEs OF GLASS.
An Experimental Monument With

A glass tombstone is certainly some

as a grave memorial is a part of a
