Advertising pays.
W. L. Douglas is going to increase
the capacity Of his factory to 5000
pairs of shoes per day, and he plans to
have it completed and in working order
to turn out 5000 pairs per day not
later than July LIST.
The addition will be made in tho
form Of wing running out from the
front Of the factory 100 feet deep, 40
feet wide and four stories high. This
will add 16, 900 square feet of space for
manufacturing purposes. At the same
time new AGO horse power engine and
an additional $50 horse power boiler
will be installed. These additions to
the power plant will afford adequate
power for the present and another
addition to the factory, which will no
doubt be necessary later on.
This will be welcome news to those
interested In Brockton's prosperity, as
the addition to be made at once is of
itself good sized factory. 1t is
therefore all the more pleasing to know
that it is to be made by an established
concern with sufficient business to keep
it constantly running. About "a, 700
more per week will be paid out to
shoemakers, which will 60 to increase

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Frye
gave notice in the senate that he in
tended to keep the shipping bill to the
front even as against appropriation
bills, not yielding to them without
vote of the senate. It indicated a
disposition on the part of the senate
leaders to force to an early issue the
question whether the shipping bill
is going to pass at this session. SEN
ator Turner of Washington spoke in
severe arraignment of the BILL de-
claring it to be "lawless, piratical
raid upon the public treasury" in the
interest of few private benefciaries
and committing the government to ex-
penditures aggregating $27OOOO,0O0.

before the fire department could make
any impression on the flames, which
had, by this time, spread with re-
markable rapidity through the build
ing, it was seen that much valuable
property adjoining was beginning to
burn. The firemen Immediately gave
up trying to save the Frankel build
ing and devoted their energies to sur
property, consisting of the
Des Mo1nes National bank, the Utica
Clothing company and the Seeley de-
partment store. All of these buildings
caught fire repeatedly, but finally at
6 o'clock, when only one wall of the
>6-story Frankel building remained up
right, the danger of complete destruc-
ton to the business center was. con-
sidered over. Outside of the Frankel
store, the damage was largely caused
by water. Destruction of the electric
light, telephone, telegraph and trolley
wires caused much confusion during
the morning. The street car service
was almost entirely abandoned and
many factories depending upon cleo
tricity for power were compelled to
remain closed during the day. -

and estimated losses of the fire given
out later places the total loss of prop
erty at $682,000, with 100000 insur-
ance. Frankels estimate their loss

ance.

Toledo, O., Jan. 30-State Oil In
spectors Frank L. Baird CT Toledo and
John r. Mall of Columbus have is
sued a positive mandate that all man.
ufacturers of gasoline lamps in the
state must discontinue such manufac-
ture, and that at once. There are
several large factories in Ohio and
many thousands of users. It is in
tended to serve notice at first and if
the order is not obeyed in reasonable
time radical measures will be inau-
gurated. 1t is expected the manufac-
turers will fight the matter through
the courts. The statutes of Ohio are
very positive on the subject, but have
never been made effective by former
state oil inspectors.
