NOTES OF THE FIRE.
Up to the time Of going to press four
"discoverers" have /: appeared, who
gave the FIRST alarm"
There was an utter disregard for
fashion in the matter of dress of the
women who watched the millinery
stores burn.
After the building had burned to
skeleton the sign "D. w. Bostwick,"
still hung i'm place over the doorway.
1t stayed unframed until the building
fell.
Rumor has it,that when the cry of
fire was borne into the hall on the
night air, the orator. rose on his toes
and cried: Sit still! 1t is only a
scheme of the Gas Co. to break up
the meeting.
The first word a REGISTER reporter
had was that it was Anderson d De-
Clute's building over which is the
office. His fret thought was that he
had hung a piece of copy on the hook
the last thing before closing, With
desperate haste he ran to the scene to
rescue it and found the fire across the
street.
One of the Chanute boys made a
brave rescue at the fire Saturday
night. AS soon as he appeared on
the scene he rushed into the Crystal
drug store and seized his grip and
carried it out. lie explained to the
astOnished onlookers that it contained
three collars and pair of cuffs, all
celluloid, aud he desired to prevent
an explosion.
George Bowlus, Mrs. Simpsons
agent, told the REGISTER that he had
not yet had time to consult her as to
future plans. There is not the slight
est doubt, however, that the corner
will be rebuilt. There is room for a
double building and Mrs. simpson
will either erect a handsome two
story brick block or else sell the
ground to other parties, plenty OF
whom can be found, who will gladly
build there. The corner is centrally
located and will make one of the fin
est business parts in town. There is
a strong and growing demand fl I
business houses and consequently it
will be to the owners interest to re-
build MS soon az possible. A hand
some building like the Bartel's block
backed up by the Acers.Odd Fellows
block, will give West Madison avenue
an air in keeping with Iola's pride
and hope,

BLAND-ALLIsON ACT TEST
Detroit Lawyers Launch Legal Contest to Determine the Consti
 nationality of the Law.

DETROIT, Feb. 8.--Fred A. Baker, a prominent attorney of Detroit, has filed an answer to a suit brought against him in the Oakland county Circuit Court involving the eonsti- nationality of the Bland-Alison act and other laws pertaining to silver
 Stephen Baldwin rendered Mr. Baker 364 silver dollars and asked for the cancellation of mortgage. MT. Baker refused to surrender the mortgage for the 364 silver dollars, but agreed to cancel it if he received enough silver dollars to equal at the present bullion value of silver 364 gold dollars. This condition was declined by MT. Baldwin and he filed a suit in equity, asking for a decree commanding Mr. Baker to cancel the mortgage in view of the tender made.
 In the answer Mr. Baker submits that under the power" to coin money, regulate the value there off and of foreign coins, and fix the standard of weights and measures, ' the Congress of the United States has no more authority or power, as far as pre.existing contracts for the payment of money are concerned, b diminish or increase the number of grains of pure gold or pure silver in the dollar in which a contract has been lawfully expressed than it has as to pre.existing contracts to change the number of grains in all ounce or the number of ounces in Q pound, or the number of inches in q foot or feet in a yard or to, change any other standard of weights or measures.
 Several of the leading attorneys of Detroit are interested in the case.

How Girls with slender Purses Can Go

culine prototype but brought versatility to
the task of making out her expenses. She
which brought her a regular weekly stipend.
One of these "businesses'' was the writing
of love letters for lazy or incapable girls.
She wrote them on Typewriter and they
were either copied or merely signed by the
senders. She also gave instruction In EN-
class "spreads." darned stockings, mani
cured, dressed hair and followed other voca-
tions for which she was fitted by skill and
experience.
Her unusual knowledge of many crafts
did not spring Into life when the necessity
for money making arose, but was nursed
and cultivated nll through the long summer
preceding the opening of the college year.
The shrewd maiden made out list OF
needs, which she thought 1t likely that the
willing to pay for. and then cultivated as
sduously all the little arts within the reach
of her limited means and opportunities. Her
experience has gone to prove that the "little
humble things pay almost as well as the
more ambitious efforts to coach. teach or

10000 of the most useful and important
words In the English language, is published

ary concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has been taken
to omit none OF those common words whose

been inserted. The volume will thus be
found to contain the meaning of very many
more words than 1t processes to explain.
To those who already have n dictionary.
