The occupants were thrown into a
state of panic, but. nevertheless. the
superintendent and others employed at
the institution managed to arouse all
but four OF the inmates. and aided
them TO escape.
The building was equipped with fire
escapes and IL was due to this fact that
no more than four lives were lost. The
four victims were very old men and
were suffocated before they could be
assisted out of the house.
The financial loss is estimated at S10

burned. The property was partially in

Geographically speaking, . woman's
life on the farm, like her home, has
frequently but four walls; she is boun-

these walls, would you? No; but l

Boston Post: Elk Senator Ed
munds calls for information rs to
the conditions ont of which the
war in the Philippines has grown.
He intimates that If these condi-
tions we're known the conduct OF
the Mckinley administration in
loading this war upon the Ameri-
can people would be widely con-
demned. The fact is that all
through this most unfortunate
Filipino episod the government at
Washington has not trusted the
people with a view of it's designs
or a knowledge of its operations
and its real purposes. Let us
have the veil of mystery put aside
and let the people know why they
are fighting and what Mr. Nc
Kinley expects TO get for the
country out OF the fight.

The Merchants Association OF San
Francisco, says the Popular Science
Monthly, has been trying the expert
ment of sprinkling a street with sea
water, and finds that such water binds
the dirt together between he paving
stones, so that when it is dry no loose
dust is formed to be raised BIZ the
wind; that sea water does MT dry so
quickly as fresh water, so that it has
been claimed when salt water has been
used that one load of it is equal to
three loads of fresh water. The salt
water which is deposited on the street
absorbs moisture from the air during
the night, whereby the street is thor
oughly moist during the early morn

Nearly all are still living in the homes
they beagan to build years ago.
ln common with the settlers of
other townships they have endur,
hardships, grasShopper and drought:
some with faith in the country AMI a
feeling that it would all be right in
the end; Others because they cnr,d
not get away. Nearly all hauled grain

AID for amusement they would gathei
buffalo bones from The prairlrs or
perhaps join in the chase, for even at
that tine there were a few of these
noble animals remaining in the
vicinity-a miserable remnant com
pared with the vast herds which but
a few years before rOamed over these
iprairieS. Antelope were quite plenty
and the little animals were frequently
seen scampering away with the speed
of the wind at the approach of
danger.
Robert Latimer recalls going on q
hunt with "a party from Wellington.
They were gone ten days and killed
forty buffalo. Nearly all the old
settlers are able TO recall incidents nf
