A BIG BLAZE.
Reds City Cafe Building, an Old Land
Mark, Leveled to the Ground.

HelQS ClCy care 6ullQlng, an Ol0 LanO
Mark, Leveled to the Ground.
About 10 o'clock Monday night
the fire bell rang in the midst Of a
cold north wind, the cause Of the
alarm was a blaze in the kitchen Of
Reid's City Cafe, caused by the
OVERLOOKING of some gasolene on
the coffee heater. The night cook,
Koenig, made all possible effort to
squelch the flames by the prompt
use of water, but this only tended
to spread the blaze. and only when
he was surrounded the frey mon
ster and after burning his hands
did he succeed in reaching the
street and giving the alarm. The
fire laddies responded very prompt
ly with the reels, but the big hand
pump was left behind, the engine
being considered in good running
order, By the time the handpump
was brought on the scene the red
demon had gathered sufficient
strength to defy any interference
on the part of a single stream. For
a time the fire was confined to the
kitchen structure which contained
meats and other fatty substances.
By 1910 a fierce cold north breeze
set in and increasedit its dimensions
catching onto the main building.
The material in the building was
dry and inhamble; great volumes
of smoke hung like a pail over the
burning building; great tongues of
fire shot out through every window;
the red glare of the flames showed
up against the sky; millions of
cinders mingled as it were with
the stars, making a most beautiful
meteoric spectacle and one well
worth photographing.
Two humble dwelling houses on
the west side of the burning struc-
ture we're destroyed, the inmates,
unable to save anything. standing
about in despair and watching
their earthly all go up in flames
and smoke.
It looked once as if the block on
the north corner was about to see
its end. But the gallant brigade
stood nobly at their unpleasant
task until the tank wasemptied, at
which time the engine was for
tunately got into working order,
and all fears of the fend grasping
new prey were removed.
By IL o'clock the structure was
enveloped in flames. and little else
could be done than allow the fire
demon to level the buildings within
its grasp to the ground and save
surrounding property.
There was a touching scene, too
amid the noise and hustle of men
fighting the devouring element. Ir

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1900-04-13

At the meeting Of the Vermont State
Dairy association paper was read by
Mrs. Carrie Nelson Of Ryegate, who
said she believed that the private dali
ry, if properly managed, could make a
product that would compare favorably
with that Of the creamery and usually
bring as high price. She spoke of the
necessity Of clean stables, clean bed
ding and clean utensils, but we must
note what she said about the effects Of
food on flavor Of butter, as a certain
professor has lately advanced the idea
that it has no effect. Several years ago
in August her cows were running in q
field that had been lately top dressed.
For two or three different weeks her
butter dealer wrote her that the butter
was "off flavor" The COWS were turn
ed back into the pasture, and soon the
dealer wrote, Butter Is all right" and
she took two first prizes on her butter.
When the corn was harvested, they
were turned into another top dressed
field, and quickly came another report.
Butter again off flavor"

Doesn't Travel For Fun.

Far from being the great autocrat,
the arbiter Of things of magnitude, the
president Of q railway system, be it
great or small. is a dealer in trif1es,
with consideration for everything
Every accident, large or small; every
occurrence by which the road is to lose
a dollar or 10 make a dollar, comes tc
the notice Of the president. The sue
cessful head Of a railroad is the one
who considers the details. He Is the
man who makes the profits. and he is
the man who has to face the music at
the directors meeting.
When you see the bright, smooth
running travelling palaces of the rail-
way president trailing along behind
the long string Of passenger coaches,
you can be safe In the opinion that the
occupant has not the seftest snap on
earth. You can also rest assured that
+, IL he is a success In his sphere he is
not travelling for fun -'a

Canadian Butter In ENGLAND.

Consul Brush Of Niagara Falls sends
the following to the state department:
1.-THE growth in the exports Of Cana
dian butter to Great Britain is attract
ing general attention. In 1897 the av-
erage exports Of butter from Canada
to the, English market were $4,000
pounds per month. In 1898 the av-
erage was $4,000 pounds per month,
and during the first eight months of
1899 the average exceeded 14.5OO hun
dredweight per month. In August
1899. the tremendous total was record
ed of 1,624.0OO pounds. or 52,3S7
pounds Of butter per day. The butter
Is prepared especially for export.
brings a high price. and the demand
for it seems almost unlimited. The
minister of agriculture has been espe-
cially active in promoting the sales Of
Canadian butter and cheese through
out Great Britain. The results of two
years work show possibilities that are
worthy the earnest attention of United
States shippers"
