that Peoria has experienced in years
visited the city Thursday night, and
Union elevator No. 2, the property OF
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy

$5O0,0O0. The fire was a grand sight,
and the heat was intense. Sometimes
as high as half dozen small fires were
i'm progress at one time, and il was
necessary to keep every building for a
distance of two blocks thoroughly sat-
urated with water. At an early hour
in the morning the fire was still raging
and it was several hours before 1t was
under control.
The elevator had q capacity of 1,OO0,-
900 bushels of grain. and as nearly as
could be ascertained, ii contained 90O,-
600 bushels, considerable having been
withdrawn during the last few days.
This grain was owned by nearly all the
firms in the city and was well insured.

support the refugees who now number
about 1900. Nothing will prosper in
Greece until the question is definitely
settled. The autonomy Of Crete is out
of the question because the Cretans re-
