MICHIGAN CITY FIRE.
One Man Killed and Five Families
Made Homeless.


One ran burned to death in horrible
manner, another suffering from severe
hurns. several overcome by the fumes of
naphtha and heat, property loss of $780,
600. an entire block of buildings in ashes
and FIVE families homeless. These are the
features of fire which Wednesday
threatened Michigan City, Ind, with de-
struction and resulted in call upon the
Chicago fire department for assistance.
An explosion in the Michigan Sity Sash
and Door Company's plant resulted in
the FIRE which was subdued only by the
nersistent efforts of every able-bodied citi-
zen. For time it looked as if the entire
CITY was to be sacrificed. The fire was
heyond control, the wind high, the volun-
teer firemen unable to make any impress
sion upon the flames which burned hose
and apparatus and pushed their way to-
ward business houses and residences. A
call for assistance telegraphed to Ham
mond, Ind, was answered unfavorably
by the officials Of that place, who replied

WHERE THE FIRE STARTED.

Herman Lukow went into the vault for
the purpose of filling can with naphtha
to be used in the factory. Lukow carried
lighted lantern and Bauman was draw
ing the oil, when the lantern exploded,
setting fire to the oil just drawn. In an
instant the place was q mass of flame.
The fluids stored in the vault became ig-
nited, explosion followed explosion and
the entire building was on fire before the
employees realized what had happened.
Fellow workmen dragged Lukow to a
place Of safety, but the heat being too in
tense to permit re-entrance, and Bauman
was left to his fate.

Chief Campion, on a gallop to the quick

The fire originated in an underground

A Lake of Oil in a Region of Coal.

"A LaA Oh OIA ln ncSAOn ga WAL
A remarkable discovery is reported
from Alaska. Some gold prospectors
several months ago ran across what
seemed to be a lake of oil. 1t was fed
by innumerable springs, and the sur
rounding mountains were full Of coal.
They brought samples to Seattle,
Wash, where tests proved 1t to be of
as high a grade as any ever taken
out Of Pennsylvania wells. A Sea- lie
company was formed and experts We're
sent up. They have returned on the
steamer Topeka, and their report has
more than borne out the first reports.
1t is said that there are enough oil and
coal in the district to supply the world.
It is close to the ocean; in fact, the ex-
perts say that the oil oozes out into the
salt water.

A GommendahIe Move.

The circular letter recently sent
out by DIR. Goodnight to different
newspapers of the state is being very
widely published. Several very un-
favorable impressions prevailing
about the University were corrected
and the amount of good done by the
letter is undoubtedly very great.
This move was certainly d very
commendable one.
This maiden effort proving so sue
cessful should induce the authori-
ties to continue the plan. A similar
plan is already in use at several lead
ing schools the originator being the
University of Michigan. A proof
sheet is sent out by theUniversity to
all the papers containing news con
corning university affairs. This would
would be splendid plan to use in
state. The amount of ignorance pre-
vailing about our chief school is ap-
palling. The way to eliminate this
is to use printers ink. The cheap
est and best way in every respect is
to have live news printed about the
college. This WILDE readily printed
by the various papers. They will
be glad to get news and as it would
be fully vouched for, all possible OBJ
lection would be overcome. An in
vestigation of the merits of this plan
by the powers that be will no doubt
result in its instant adoption.
The item of cost would be low and
the results simply amazing. Then
a large part of the state would oc-
casionally hear something from the
University which would not be dis
creditable. A fair trial should be
given this at any rate.

viii be no Change.

After a careful consideration OF
the situation it has been decided by
the authorities at Washington to
permit all postmasters, Presidential
or otherwise, to serve out their full
four year terms. This will not be
very cheering news to the frost-bit-
ten patriots outside the breastworks
but it goes. 1t is right and the
Democrats four years from now will
take the same common sense view OF
the matter.

Two of the Second District postmas.
tiers have been marked for the heads.
man. They have been offensive par
tisans. They dared to assert and to
vote their convictions and for this
heinous crime their official heads must
fall. These two victims are Boyer,
of Martinsburg, whose paper went for
Dayton yiciously during the campaign
and Poe, of Grafton, who was often
sive in his politics. Neither of these
men can be attacked as far as fitness
for their positions are concerned but
room is needed for the hungry horde
and out they must go. Any excuse
is good but none is really needed.
Only the promise of. justice must be
kept to the ear while it is broken to
the intellect. We are sorry to see
these men sacrificed for such trivial
reasons but since it is well known that
they are to be treated SO, no stigma
will rest on them. So far as known
no other postmasters in this district
are to be mOlested.

War Alta Fort.

The forts about town are usually
the most peaceful establishments to
be found anywhere and their war
like designations are very mislead-
ing. But one of them at least seems
determined to live up to its name
and lively war has resulted. The
trouble alluded to took place in the
fort run by Toon Protzman on Main
street. Law student Blaney was
commissary. The air for several
days was full of charges and counter
charges of mismanagement and reck-
less expenditure.
The trouble finally resulted in the
breaking up of the fort and the
principals in the affair have appeal
ed to the courts to settle their differ
ences. But the slow remedy of the
law did not suit Toon and he made
several attempts to do Blaney bodily
violence. The first assault took
place in Protzman's house where
Blaney had gone at Toon's request
to see his wife. Blaney took several
witnesses along but these were denied
admission by Toon. On reaching
an upper room the first assault was
committed. Honors were even and
the combatants were separated be-
fore serious damage was done. A
warrant was at once issued for Protz-
man and he was arrested and tried
by Squire Hayes.
During the progress of the trial a
second assault was attempted but
officers frustrated the attempt before
it resulted seriously. Toon received
ten days Imprisonment for each Of
Tense and was at once taken to jail.
The affair is to be deplored and we
hope that the difficulties may soon
be amicably adjusted.
After spending short time in
Jail arrangements were made and
Protzman released.
The suit to settle the difficulties
took place yesterday afternoon be-
fore Squire Shoemaker A large
crowd attended and some very inter
esting testimony was given by the
different witnesses.
