100000 Worth Of Property.

Chicago, Oct. 81. Two huge grain
elevators belonging to the Chicago a.
Pacific Elevator con. pany were de-
csroyed by fire yesterday together with
their contents. A number Of smaller
buildings burned as well, and the total
loss will be probably he million dol
lars. The insurance covers three
quarters of that amount. II was in a
dangerous locality for fire with the
Armour elevator, the largest In the
world, stocked up to the Roof with
grain, warehouses, coal docks and
lumber yards close at hand. Thou
sands Of people gathered tc witness the
spectacle afforded by over a million
bushels of grain ablaZe, Before ele-
water B was in flames Capt. Quirk ana
twelve men were ordered into the
building to play streams upon the
other elevators. When the flames
caught elevator B, the fremen were
caught upon the top floor ard could
not escape. Their cries attracted the
attention of Chief Swenie, who or
dered Lieut.. Wendt to climb the fire
escape to cut hole through the roof
in order that the men might Come out
that way After a hard struggle with
smoke and fire Wendt managed to do
the work and one by che the thirteen
men clambered up 10 the roof and
made their way down The fire escape
Quirk was the last man down and
when he left the roof was ablaze in
many places. John Morton, a pipe
man, was badly cut while forcing an
entrance into one Of the buildings.
Peter Rowe was injured in like man

badly hurt by flying piece of sheet
iron which fell from the ROOT of one of
the burning elevators. The origin OF

necessitated from the fact that the bet
ter-known lecturers were In such great
demand. 1t was decided, therefore to
raise the price of these men to 500 and
have number Of younger men, at the
rate of $40 for a course. However,
the better known lecturers were much
more in demand. During the year 95-
'96 of the nineteen men who delivered
courses twelve Wee 500 men, while
only seven were $40 men. Further
more, the twelve gave forty-siX
courses and the seven gave only thir-
teen. In spite Of the rise in price and
the hard times, the last year was by
far the most successful in the history
of .ae department. In 1S94-95 there
were forty courses offered by eleven
different cities. against tfty-nine
courses by nineteen lecturers in forty
five towns and cities for 1S95-96 This
gives an increase of 80 per cent. in
courses and an increase of SO per cent
in lectures.
The people are growing more inter
ested and the quality and the amount
of the extension worl' is increasing.
Already as a result of these lectures
more books have been purchased,
while the demands il. the public IL
braries show the effect in the charac-
ter and depth OF books read. Numerous
letters are received asking for courses
of reading on some subject long after
the lecture may have been given. Fire.
quently sermons are preached from
topics suggested by these lecturers
Again clubs are formed for the pur-
pose of studying more deeply the
| courses outlined. Effects of courses
have been observed on city councils
and bills proposed before the state
| Legislature. Furthermore, the effect
on the lecturer is n broadening out OF
himself. On the other hand the peo
pie gain an insight in professor:
life and work and realize he Is not thu
paid parasite of a state institution
which idea has been too current. Ere
quently people are brought to this o.
other institutions through thes,
courses and are made to feel mucl
better toward their institution, and I,
realize its use and Importance. I'll,
outlook for this department is extreme
