condition was well nigh hopeless. The
end came even sooner than was ex-
pected.
During the forenoon the patient was
unconscious, but II was possible to
rouse him for an instant and once or
twice he spoke. His talk, however, was
incoherent. Mr.. English died in the
room in the southeast corner OF his ho-
tel, which he has occupied so long.
During his last hours his two children
were with him. At o'clock Mr. Eng
llsh rallied for few minutes, and call
ing his son to his bedside spoke his
name. He was unable to carry on q
conversation and soon passed into un-
consciousness, from which he did not
recover. The end came peacefully. The
watchers said he did as one going to
sleep All forenoon friends OF the FAM
lily were constantly calling ut the hotel
to make inquiries about the distin.
Ruished patients condition. Several
times last night Mr.. English rallied
sufficiently to talk 20 his children. He
realized that he would die and told
them so.

inss Burn 20 the Grounh Early this
Marning-Tho Loss Though Heavy Is
Covered Largely by Insurance.
At a O'Clock this morning. the intelll-
gence Of destructive fire at West Lib
crty was received by telephone. About
o'clock. according to the story just re-
celved, tho quiet town was awakened
by the cry OF FIRE" The sky was al
ready lighting up from a fire that had
got fearful start in the new brick an
mex to the West Liberty state normal
school, situated in the lower part OF the
village.
The entire population Of the town
turned out to battle with the flames,
which spread with great rapidity, but
as the only apparatus Mt hand was
bucket brigade, practically nothing
could be done to subdue the flames.
At 2:3O a. m. the new building was
practically destroyed. and the efforts
OF the people were turned toward saw
nG the old building. which is now used
as class and assembly room.
The latest report form the fire was to
the effect that the old building would
be saved. probably. 1t stands about
nifty feet from the new structure.
The origin Of the fire isunknown' outlt
is supposed to have caught in the base
ment from the steam heating appa-
ratus
The loss will foot up $4,000 to $4,000.
The burned building was erected two
years ago at cost of $4,000 and was
full of valuable books and school appa-
ratus. The board of normal school re-
gents, It is said, carried considerable
insurance on the school buildings.
AT 3:15 n m. a telephone message was
received stating that the walls Of the
burning building were falling in and
that the heat was so terrific that the
old building would probably burn.
