Close Call From Destruction.
THE FIREMEN SAVED 1T
Fire Breaks Out in the Attic, and but
for the Fact That Caution Was Used,
This Mornings Edition Would
Be Printed Elsewhere.

But for the fact that Chief of the Fire
Department Bob Mentrum knows his
business and knows it well, the Stand
ard this morning would be compelled
to impose upon the good nature of
some other newspaper publisher and
ask that his presses be placed at the
Standards disposal, so that the Sun
day edition might be gotten out The
effective work of the fire department
not only saved this newspapers plant
from serious damage from fire, but
saved its delicate machinery from ruin
alton by water.
AT about 4 o'clock yesterday morning
Just as the presses We're running off
Saturdays edition, it was discovered
that fire was present in the building.
The fire alarm box. which is located
directly in front of the Office was pulled
and the department responded prompt
~. When the firemen arrived at the
building. huge clouds of dense smoke
were rolling cut of the windows Of the
upper stories. The first thing done was
to find the place where the fire was.
That required considerable time, as the
flames were in the garnet among the
rafters. The tiremen could doubtless
have put the fire out quickly by flood
ing the attic with water but as Chief
Mentrum was well aware that water
was as ruinous to the Mergenthaler
llnotypes and other delicate machinery
as fire would be, he directed his men
to first locate the fire before throwing
water around promiscuously. With
TINS idea in view, the tiremen cut away
the cornices on the edge of the roof
and cut two or three large holes in the
roof itself. When the fire was located
tank of chemical eXtinguisher was
applied and a few gallons of water
used, not enough, however, to iniure
the plant.
The damage to the building will prob
ably amount to $40O and is mostly to
the wood work in the attic. The fire
originated from an overheated smoke
stack. which leads from the pressroom
to the top of the, building. The depart
.ment was greatly handicapped in it's
work by the fact that it had no chem
,lcal tanks of adequate capacity It was
bare scratch that the firemen did
not have to use more water than they
did, and If they should have been COM
PEELED ito use much water, the damage
would have been great. As it is. the
department is to be congratulated on
its effective work

first time when she was Is years of age,
and was left widow Two years later.
Since then she has averaged marriage
every two years. She has secured
eight or nine divorces, while death has
done the releasing in the other cases.
She is part Indian, her mother being
half caste. BY marriage she has rela-
tionship with half the people of Hen
bricks county. There is no one in In
diana who closely approaches her Zee
ord. There are two or three cases OF
marriage the sixth time. and one case
where marriage was entered into the
seventh time. but she discounts that
record. Young Benson Ebgers of Hen
bricks county. however. is in a fair way
to attain a similar distinction. He has
just passed his 18th year and is prepac-
ing to contract his fourth marriage. He
was married the first time when he was
but IA years of age and his wife but r.
The marriage was upon consent of rar-
ents. He treated his wife as a Ilay-
thing, and when he grew tired Of her
he slung her around like she vas 4 doll,
and scared her to death by drawing
razors across her throat and throwing
her on the floor and holding 4 reG-not
poker over her. She get tired Of ;flls
and went to her home. The marriage
was annulled. The next two we're also
terminated by his arbitrary bursts of
freakishness.

No More Painful Shedding Over Barren

Seattle. Wash, Feb. 16-Much has
been said and written of the great and
wonderful far Northwest country of
British Columbia and Alaska; tales
have been told and retold, which sound
like chapters from the famous Arabian
nights, and but for the fact that the
mint receipts show the amount of gold
brought from that country, the stories
would be taken with the proverbal
grain of salt
1t must be understood that gold can
not be picked up from the grass roots
nor plucked from the branches of trees:
it can only be obtained by hard earnest
work. But let me proceed to my per-
sonal experience.

LIKE POISON
Coffee Acts on Some People.

Being forced to give up coffee, I did
it in half-hearted way. drinking
cocoa in the morning, but soon became
tired of that and longed for the real
Java.
Finally l tried Postum Food Coffee,
and since that time have drank it to
the exclusion of every other beverage.
You can imagine l like it.
Last summer l was in a place where
nothing but Java coffee was served on
the breakfast table, and l recon-
menced the use Of it,
In two or three weeks l began to
suffer from dizziness and explosive
noises in my head
'One evening after walking about
half mile l became dizzy and could
hardly get back home where I fell ex-
hausted. on the bed. l knew what the
trouble was, and insisted upon having
Postum instead of the old-fashioned
coffee. and got well in short order.
II have always thought it worth
while to warn the cook. wherever
happen to be. to make the Postum
properly. that is. by boiling it long
enough. Please do not print my

RESUMES BUSINESS.
The Norway Savings Bank Again Opens It's
Doors TO the Public.

Norway, Me. Nov. 20.-An injunction
restraining the Norway Savings Bank
having been removed. the bank resum-
ed business. today. The injunction was
granted upon the discovery of errors
in the accounts of the treasurer, Judge
+. T.. Stearns, soon after his death, last
August. The books of the bank have
been in the hands Of experts for weeks
and the examination disclosed a short
age aggregating $1,000. The treasurer
was under bonds of 20,000 and as soon
as the exact amount Of the deficiency
was ascertained the matter was ad
justed without difficulty.
Steps then We're taken to have the
injunction dissolved and to secure au-
thority to reopen the bank. The in
junction was removed by the supreme
court at Portland, Saturday, and bus
mess was resumed very quietly at the
bank. this morning. Some fear had
been expressed as to the attitude of
depositors toward the bank, but up to
noon nothing to indicate any uneasi-
ness on the part of those doing bust
hes with the bank had appeared.
