MILTON fire!

special from tho Milton Globe:-
Milton is still on the map, thanks
to the prompt action, heroic efforts
and judgment of the members of
the fire department last Sunday
morning.
At $50 the fire bell pealing forth
long and loud aroused large ma
jority of our citizens from their
slumbers, and brought them to q
realization of the critical situation.
Devouring flames were pouring
forth in terrific volumes from the
Johnson & Wroolie double store
building. A stiff gale was blowing
from the west and to all it appear
ed as though no human effort could
possibly subdue the flames until
at least everything infammable in
that block south and east of Kelly's
store was in ashes.
The story of how it happened in
brief is as follows: Oscar Aos, who,
with Robt. McAllen and Duncan
Blue, was sleeping in the Chicago
Fair, was awakened by the crack
ling of fire in a rear shed. He i'm
mediately awakened his compan-
ions and the boys escaped through
the front window without taking
time to dress.
Blue ran to the engine house
and rang the fire bell, while the
others ran about town spreading
the alarm.
In precisely seven minutes after
the match was touched to the fire
In the fire engine two streams Of
water were playing upon the
flames, which by that time had
burst forth through the fronts and
roofs of the two store buildings

stood the burning johnson &
Wroolie building and Goetchins'
furniture store, with Olson's meat
market, Norgard's law office,
Green's harness shop, Me- Culloughs
law Office and McIver's dwelling,
all either joining each other or
less than two feet apart. It was
anything but cheerful outlook
for the occupants of these build
lngs. q
But fortunately the flames were
choked down by the steady streams
poured in from the front and rear
of the burning building. The
charred side of the johnson &
Wroolie store stands as monu-
ment to the efficacy of Milton's
splendid fire apparatus.
Scarcely a shingle on Goetchins'
furniture store was injured and
the siding was not even blackened
although it was only two feet away
from the huge build ing which was
destroyed.
johnson & Wroolie are the prin.
cipal losers. They had expended
nearly $4,000 on the buildings dur.
ing the past summer, putting in
foundations, extending them, put
ting in new shelves etc. Thei1
loss, including stock, is estimated
at So, 500; insurance $4,000.
The Chicago Fair lost the stock
only, which they estimated at $l5,-
900; insurance $4,000. They didn't

J. P. Goetchins had mighty
narrow escape. His stock was
we'll strewn along the street, but
he was glad to have building left
to move it back into.
They used Charley Olson's meat
market pretty roughly, but he, like
Goetchins, was we'll pleased with
the result.
George Green's stock of harness
was pretty we'll scattered about
town, and it is supposed that at

The crowd attempted to pull out
McC Cullough's and Norgard's law
offices, but couldn't bulge either
of them. The front of the latter
was pretty badly damaged.
The family Of John McIver had
moved a large portion of their
household goods, and we're making
preparations to move Pat Flynn,
who was lying ill with typhoid
fever, to some safer quarters when
the fire was brought under control.

About forty dollars in silver,

based upon principles Of anatomy, phys!-

an exhaustive article which he has pub

how piano playing may be reduced to Il

oloGy that we may learn the fundamental
