WOKE THEM UP.

Elko had Il lucky escape this morn
ing from DISASTROUS fire. that under
more unfavorabIe conditions would
have DESTROYED thousands Of dollars
worth OF property md left some OF
our people almost bankrupt. That
the whole north side Of the street
from the telegraph Office to the bak-
cry corner IL not Il mass Of smoking
ruins is not due to the enterprise Of
our people iii prOviding adequate
protection against tire. but tn good
luck ami the logged tcnacity Of some
OF our young men III fighting fire

Will desert us some day and the pluck
and energy Of uur youn:; men will not

ElkO will be ii mass of smoking ruins.
People will he houseless and home.
less and prosperous merchants and
business men will be badly crippled,
il not bankrupt. 1t will de- no good
then to curse the water company or
tell what might have been accom-
plished with proper facilities for
fighting ii.r.

tiOn resulted III call beng made for
public meeting to take steps tn de-
wise better .mc;rs Of protection
against fire. The time and place Of
the meeting WIS published. and when
1t was t. have been held. bat three
property owners put III AN appearance.
Tho lSDEPESDEST then concluded
that the people Of Elko were satisfied
with the means they then had for
fighting fire and wanted no other.
Being perfectly contcntcd with the
conditions. il would have been cruelty
on the part OF the ISDErEHDESr to
attempt To further arouse the people
I" their danger and the matter wHa
dropped.
This mornings fire. however, woke
them up and made them realize the
necessity ~ better facilities for fight.

moro tangible than cussing the water
company, the INDEPENDENT will
gladly make note Of it. Until then
it will take its chances with the rest.

THE COUNTESS OF WARWICK.
Of dlvulging the fact that one OF the
guests on that historic occasion had
been charged with cheating.
An example OF her ladyship's execu-
tive ability Is her needleworlz school
at her old home In Essex before her
husband succeeded to the PROUD title
of Earl Of Warwick, and entered into
possession of Warwick Castle. She
employed an expert to teach some OF
the native girls the rarest secrets OF
embroidery. So precious was the work
turned out that it commanded great
prices, and the countess opened a saoD
for the sale of it in fashionable Bo5d
street. One can see 1t there today with
Countess of Warwick" in bold letters
on the sign. The shop makes money
now and the profits so to model
lodging house club which the countess
has established.
AS soon as the needlework business
was well on it's feet the countess
founded a hostel, where a large num-
Der Of well-born English girls are
trained, under the supervision of the
college at Reading, in horticulture,
dairying, poultry keeping, bee keeping,
etc. This unique scheme has been in
operation long enough to prove that
its graduates can support themselves
in polite farming quite as well as IL
they We're men. The next scheme was
The Woman's Agricultural Times, a
monthly journal for women, to which
the countess supplied large portion
of the editorial opinion.
Her next step was the establishment
of a science and technical school on
her Essex estate for farmers boys and
girls. She has also organized an eff
fective system of charities at War
wick. and likewise founded home for
crippled children. But of all her I'M
dertal1ings the most extraordinary was
to turn the Warwick acres over to
limited liability company, known as
the Warwick Estates, Limited The
earl who is now at the front fighting
the Beers, has at least the satisfaction
Of being director of the company.
These are only a few samples OF the
countess varied interests. In addition,
she is brilliant society leader, one OF
the best horsewomen in England. a
liaguist who speaks French, German
and Spanish as readily as English,
clever artist, a good musician and an
uncommonly bright writer.

Strange Incident Gives Bangor, Maine,
People Nude Shock.
Last winter Miss Addie Paul of Ban
gor, Me-, slipped on an icy sidewalk
and sustained severe injuries. She re-
covered sufficiently to be able to go
about with the assistance Of an at
tendant, and several weeks ago went
to Camden to live with her sister, A
few days ago telephone message was
received in Bangor stating that she
was dead and that her remains would
be brought there for burial. Miss Paul
had always been called by her intimate
friends by the name of "Ad." She
had brother named Edward, and he
was known to people as ED" 1t was
he who died at Camden. but in trans
mission the message, ED is dead"
sounded like "Ad is dead" and it was
announced in the local papers and
among the people where Miss Paul had
lived that she was dead. and arrange
ments were accordingly made for the
funeral. When the people entered the
church Miss Paul was found in con-
spicuous seat, and when some of the
people saw her they almost collapsed.
