BLAZE AT MANNHEINER'S
FIRE IN THE BASEMENT MAY HAVE
CAUSED MUCH DAMAGE.

Fire was discovered in the basement
of the Mannheimer. Dry Goods store,
Sixth and Robert streets, at 2:45 O'Clock
this morning.
Engineer Boyd and Night watchman
tIaase were looking for the blaze, hay
ing had their suspicious aroused by a
strong smell that suggested something
burning. The engineer soon located it
in the rear of the engine. room, where
a number of dry goods boxes were burn
ing.
An alarm was sent in and the depart
ment soon put out the fire. While the
loss from the material burned was nom
inal, a good deal of smoke found its way
to the floors above, and from this cause
much damage may have resulted. Thou
sands of dqllars9of valuable goods, sus-
eeptible to. injury from smoke, were
exposed, and with what result will prob
ably be disclosed today. The loss to the
goods therefore?9 may be small, or, as
is more likely, it may amount to several
thousand dollars.

Has GONE TO HIS REST
PHILIPPINE VETERAN SUCCUMBS
TO A PECULIAR DISEASE,

Another soldier of the Thirteenth Min
nesota has gone to his rest, August P.
Mitchell, private company D, died at the
Soldiers home day before yesterday,
afte many weary months of illness.
Mr.. Mitchell was looked upon as one
of the best private soldiers in the regi-
ment when it was stationed in the Phil
ippines He was in the army over a
year and saw much hard service. The
climate was his undoing He became
sick and it was soon necessary to take
him to this country He has been sta
toned at the Soldiers home for long
time and has wasted away.
His disease baffled the doctors who at
tended him. 1t was something different
to anything they have ever seen or heard
of and nothing could be done for the
man.
The dead soldier was born in Ohio and
was forty-five years old. A father and
brother are still living in that state
There will be a meeting of the mem
bers OF the soldiers company at the arm
Dry at o'clock tonight and they will
attend the funeral which is to be held
at the Soldiers home at 10 O'Clock A
large number of friends of the dead man
will also be in attendance.

THE MICRoBE THEORY
Has become a Microbe FAKE!


So says DR.. Max Meyer in the Pioneer
Press of Friday morning and copied from
the New York Herald. Well, this is just
as we have always said. Microbes are
the result of disease and not its cause.
The doctor says the popular notion re-
garding bacilli is a "bogie." You know
what a bogie is, do you not? It is some
thing to brighten people, and this is the
sum and substance of this whole germ
theory Nothing in it, he says.
Well this boyle must pass into oblivion
with the obsolete practice of bleeding
people to cure disease.
We tell people how they can cure dis
ease, and save life and save expense and
save misery by using the Oxydonor.
Some people do not believe it, but whose
loss is it. if they turn deaf ear TO this
serious truth? C. S. Wilson, 61O and Gil

There appears to be some difference of
opinion as to the location which should
be selected if the proposition of the health
commissioner to establish all the year

public as worthy of consideration Be
sides the suggested locations under the

The expense of repairing the building
sufficiently for the purposes of the baths

very seasonanle figure.
