EDGERTON'S Loss
$4,000 Fire Started by a
Gasolene Lamp Ex-
plosion.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Pipestone, Mimi, Sept. 24.-Fire at
Edgerton last night caused loss of $780,,
900. 1t started from a gasolene lamp ex-
plosion, and 225 feet on the west side Of
the business street burned.
The lamp exploded in the store of How
ard and Haaman and burning oil was scat
tered all over the premises. Nothing
could be done to stop the flames here, and
they soon spread to adjoining properties
on either side.
Hotel Edgerton. owned by Howard &
Kooiman, was in the path of the fire and
was destroyed; also Mrs. Germans milli-
merry store, William Stotts harness shop
Miller's jewelry store and livery barn
Ed Stott's barber shop was pulled down
to check the fire and the loss would have
been heavier but for this procedure. A
high wind scattered fire brands and it ap-
peared at times as though the entire town
was doomed.
The loss is partly covered by insurance.
No time will be lost by the sufferers in
getting into winter quarters and continu-
ing business.

The counties of Clay, Kanabec, LIE Sueur,
Red Lake, Sherburn and Wilkin were only
assessed 40 per cent, and Benton. Big
Stone and Murray only 33 Is per cent.
Hennepin, Ramsey and several other
counties assess mortgages at 100 per cent,
or full face value. The board brought all
counties below so, per cent up to that
figure, and made no reductions in any
case
Slip-shod methods also prevail in the
listing OF money, which is assessed at
from SO 1-3 to 100 per cent of actual value.
That heading was passed by the board
without material change, but may be re-
considered to put money on the same
basis as mortgages

The Coal Supply.
Are you positive that the quantity of coal

Yes, sir; as nearly as anybody can be posi-
i've There was no accurate means of weigh
ing What was sent US, and generally there is
no absolutely accurate means by which coal
is weighed coming aboard ship All naval
ofncers know that coal is weighed to the best
OF our ability and an accurate account kept
to the best of our ability, and it is generally
a good estimate. 1t is weighed out in the
same way.
Was the machinery of the Texas in eff
clent condition for service On May 81?

recollect that anything was wrong about the
machinery.
