PEAT BOG BLAZE.
Firemen of Minneapolis Have a
Hard Task Before Them.

Hard Task Before Them.
The Minneapolis fire department was
called out early yesterday afternoon for
what will probably prove to be the most
troublesome fire of the season before it
1t finally extinguished.
The fire originated in a large barn at
the corner of Spring and D streets north
east, belonging to Russell & Winston,
daiTymen. The department was unable to
save any part of this and will more than
likely have to work for the next month
putting out the fires in the peat bog
which were set by the flying pieces of
burning shingles and siding.
The barn was built of light wood and
contained over thirty tons of hay. AS a
result the entire structure was ablaze
within a very few moments after the fire
started and there was no use for the
firemen to try to eXtinguish the flames
when the apparatus appeared on the
scene. Two horses, q couple of hogs, two
wagons and clothing belonging to the
employees of the dairy were burned.
A car load of pine telephone poles on
the railroad about a block away caught
fire, a small frame house half a mile
away were set afire by the blazing sparks,
and the peat bog is ablaze here and there
over an area of more than fifty acres.
The part of the bog which is burning
is practically out of the reach of water
and the department will have to stretch
lines half mile in order to be able to
reach the fire. 1t is necessary that the
fires be put out as soon as possible be-
cause of the railway tracks and the
streets running through the bog. The
peat is as dry as paper and in this season
of the year will burn with great rapidity.
The firemen stretched two long lines OF
hose some days ago, but they burst be-
fore water could be forced to The fire.

Addresses by Messrs. Lewis and An
l1eny and President NOrthrOp.
A well attended and highly interesting
meeting of the teachers in attendance at
the summer schools, at the state univer-
sity, was held yesterday, the feature be-
ing addresses by State Superintendent Of
Public Instructor Lewis, Prof Northrop
and President A. T. Ankeny, of the state
normal school board
In his address Prof. Lewis adduced
facts to show that the schools of Mime
sofa are equal in all ways to those of
any other state, and that the teachers
are quite as Jealous and hardworking.
However, he said perfection had not been
reached, by any means, and there is
ample room for improvement. He adj
vccated a Encouragement of the curri-
culum, especially in the grammar schools,
to provide a more practical course Of
studies.
Prof. Northrop made a characteristic
address, in which he put in plea for
the use of better and purer English on
the part of teachers.
President Ankeny made an earnest plea
for both an increase in the normal and
summer schools.
The programme was varied with some
excellent musical selections by the sum-
mer school chorus, and a solo by Miss

Common sense tells a woman that when
she's sick she needs doctor.
Common sense tells woman that in
disease the first question is not of man or
woman, but of recognized medical ability
Common sense applied to advertisements
which invite women to write to woman
because she is a woman and understands
women, y will show the women so appealed
to, that it's no use to write to any woman
about disease unless that woman is a
physician.
Common sense used in the reading of
advertisements will discover that no claim
IS made in them to a physicians knowl-
edge or diploma. And that is not because
the claim would be morally culpable as a
lie, but because it would be legally pun
ishable as fraud. The law permits you to
masquerade as a doctor in an advertise
ment, just so long you don't actually
claim to be doctor, or put M. D. after
your name. That's why the advertisement
is worded write to woman " instead of
write to doctor.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. 16.-Five
brutal assaults by a negro man on white
women have occurred in Little Rock in
the past twenty-four hours. It is gener-
ally believed that all these crimes were
committed by the same negro, but three
suspects have been arrested, and If the
right man can be positively identified he
may receive summary punishment. The
victims of the assaults are all highly re-
spected white women of this city, Their
names are Miss Belle Aiken, 2114 Chester
street; Mrs. Milton Young, 24O1 State
street; Mrs. Kennedy, Fourteenth and
Jones streets; Miss Longcoy, 1920 Booker
street; young lady at Twentieth and
Cross streets.
All the assaults occurred In the suburbs
of the city. The first was that of Mrs.
Aiken, which occurred yesterday after
noon. AS Mrs. Aiken was passing by
Twenty-first and High streets the negro
seized her and dragged her to the woods.
She resisted and cried for help. A passer-
by frightened the negro away after he
had severely beaten his victim. Officers
at once began a search for the assailant,
but failed to find him.
SECOND ASSAULT
AT 8 o'clock this morning, a few blocks
from the scene of the first crime, Mrs.
Young was assaulted in almost the same
manner. The negro knocked her down
with such force that a rib was broken,
causing internal injuries of a serious ma
ture. He choked and beat her about the
head and on the side, inflicting very Sc
rlouS injuries. The negro finally seized
her purse and disappeared in the woods.
Mrs. Young, who is a frail woman is in
a precarious condition from her wounds
and the shock. Her clothing was torn al
most entirely off in the struggle
An hour later Mrs Kennedy was at
tackled at her home, near Westend park.
She was knocked down, beaten and
choked. Her child ran for assistance and
the negro fled. Mrs Kennedy's injuries
are very painful.
About IL o'clock Emma Longcoy, the
1l-year-old daughter of grocer, was at
tackled and was beaten by a negro, half
a dozen blocks from Westend park She
escaped from her assailant
City and county officers, together with
a large number of citizens, were by this
time securing the vicinity for the negro.
The greatest excitement prevailed, and
the anger of the citizens in the neigh
borhood was thoroughly aroused.
REWARDS OFFERED.
The fifth assault occurred early this
morning on well known young lady, at
Twentieth and Cross streets She was
likewise knocked down and badly beaten.
Her face was swollen and discolored from
the effect of the assault.
These outrages were brought to the at
tention of Gov Jones, and he at once Of
fered a reward of 500 each for the arrest
and conviction of the guilty parties.
Judging from the temper of public SEN
timent the officers will find it difficult to
protect their prisoner should the right
man be captured.
