Might Have Resulted Seri-
ouslV.

A parlor match of the variety fhat
cost five cents thousand, yesterday
evening about 6 o'clock started lire
at Stoddard's store on Erie street,
which but for the timely and judcioos
application of several buckets of water
would have resulted in a most ex-
pensive fire.
A short time ago Mr.. Stoddard de-
cided to illuminate his store by other
means than electricity and accordingly
installed several gasoline lamps in the
store. A lamp was placed in each OF
the display windows and directly above
the laces, etc, which at the time weIe
being displayed in the east show VIII,
dow. When an attempt was made to
light the lamps yesterday evening a
large piece of the ignited sulphur OF
the match fell into bunch of lace,
hsndkerchiefs, etc, and in an instant
the entire contents of the window
were sblaze. An alarm was turned in
but before the arrival of the fire de
psrtment the flames had been ex
tinguished Loss covered ty insur

should like to testify as to the re-
suits of Magnetic treatment in case of
lung trouble and general debility. My
health was very much run down, my
lungs were weak and was almost q
wreck. My husband became alarmed
and sent me to Prof. Aldrich of the
Magnetic Infrmary of Missouri Val
ley, and now after five weeks treat
ment | have gained ten pounds and
am entirely cured. cnly wish all
that are afflicted with lung trouble
could know of this wonderful science.
Very Truly,

PARALYSIS.
My little daughter, 8yesrs old, was
taken sick one year ago. She was
paralized from her neck down the en-
t,re body. We were obliged to feed
her like q baby. She gained the use
of her arms but had no use of her
limbs. Prof. Aldrich has treated her
three weeks and she can go anywhere
with her cane. We hope to continue
the treatment until she is entirely
cured. Very Respectfully,
Mrs GEORGE COLvEH,
Missouri Valley, Iowa.

School Bonds Carry.

At the school election the vote on
the bond issue, as shown in report, was
successful, but q very light vote was
cast, owing, no doubt. to the fact that
no contest of candidates was pending,
all concesding that Il. Robinson was
the right man for the position.
One thing, however, was surprise,
and that was that only IA ladies voted,
l3 for and lagainst the bonds. One
thing is demonstrated by this vote,
and that is that they do not properly
appreciate the franchise conferred, but
they must remember that political
rights in all its power is not gained in
day but comes gradually, and unless
they accept it as it is offered, those op
posed to woman suffrage will use, as
they do, this non voting as an argu-
ment against granting the franchise to
women. For this reason We regret
their action as it may retard the fina
victory that will surely come, and whe1
1t does they will be q power at the polls

Government Buying Back Estates.

Government buying Back Estates.
The government Of New Zealand ia
still pursuing its policy of buying back
large estates from the proprietors and
cutting them up into holdings for men
of small means. It is SUCCESSFULLY pro-
viding allotments near the large towns
TOR workmen's homes, in the hope that
this may relieve poor men from tho
excessive, almost prohibitory, rents Of
cities. A man who has an acre of fer
tile land near town at an almost
nominal price can partly keep his fam
lily by growing vegetables and working
at his garden in his spare time. He
is in a vastly superior position to the
laborer who has to pay about one-fhird
Of his income in rent for bare house
room, and turn out into the street
the instant the weekly rent is not
forthcoming. The effort is not limited
to this acre allotment system; the
country estates bought back by the
government are cut into small farms.
on which thrifty agricultur:sts may
make livings for their families. Re-
Gently the government bought for this
purpose the Glenham estate of 1880
acres. near Wyndham; the Kakaku
estate Of $3.50 acres, near Pleasant
Point, South Canterbury, and several
other properties in the vicinity OF
Christchurch.
