The most destructive fire that has WIS.,
tied Joliet, ILL.,, this year nearly wiped
out OF existence the Lakeside Oatmeal
mills and caused loss of 1900 to the
David Oliver company. An explosion OF
dust in mill b, four story brick struc-

$4,000: grain, 5000: product. $2.OOO;
extra machinery, $4,000: total, $01 .OOO.
Seven men were at work in the mill Mt
the time of the explosion and all escaped
without injury. The entire Joliet fire de-
partment responded. but before the
steamers arrived the big building was a
mass of flames. and the efforts of the hre-
men were devoted to preventing the
spread of the fire to the other buildings
and mills in that section. The explosion
occurred in the milling room on the third
floor. The first warning to the men was
a deafening roar that shook the building
TO its foundations. and the whole interior
was lighted up with the flames that SEEM
cd to burst out in a dozen places at once.
Window frames were blown nearly to the
railroad track, several hundred feet
away, and broken into fragments. The
mill was finished only two weeks ago
and was considered one Of the most COM
plete in the country. John Kelly. who
was at work on the third floor OF the mill
when the explosion occurred, jumped
through an open window. landing on a
box car twenty-five feet below. he
climbed to the ground with few injuries.
