he said:

of American material, in American

to be manned by American sailors,

ENTIRE BLOCK is BURNED
RED OAK SUFFERS SEVERE LOSS
FROM FIRE.
Damage Reaches Nearly s225,ooo-
Fire Department Unable to Cope
MIifh thu Ela,naac


Red Oak, April 25.-Fire swept the
business section of Red Oak at an
early hour yesterday morning and
destroyed one entire block in the bust
ness section Of the city, entailing
loss of from $4,000 to s225,00O. OF
this amount not more than one-third
or one-half is covered by insurance.
The fire started in the basement of
the H. B. Houghton block, located at
the southeast corner of the square.
/ This building is occupied as bank
and Office building. From there 1t
swept across the street to the west
and burned the entire block from
street to street before the flames
were gotten under control.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
1t Is supposed that it started from the
heating plant of the building, but
spontaneous combustion has also been
suggested. - moderate high wind
was blowing and this was sufficient
to carry the sparks and flames across
the street to the westward, where
there were a number of frame build
ings, implement houses, etc.
The fire started little after three
o'clock in the morning and burned with
such rapidity that within an hour the
entire block, distance of three hun
dred feet, was in flames.
Red Oak has good fire department
for town of it's size, having volun-
teer department of one hundred and
twenty men and four hose carts. Four
or five streams of water were played
on the flame at one time but the build.
ings were so dry and the flames had
obtained such Roadway that it was i'm.
possible to subdue the conf1agration
on the south side of the square.
The intense heat broke number
of plate glass windows in the build
ings to the north of the fire, both on
the east and west sides of the square.
It was with difficulty that the flames
were prevented from spreading to
these other parts Of the business cen
ter, and, only the most heroic work
| on the part of the fire department
| saved an almost total loss to the city.
The livery stable of w. G. Lockart
contained much intlammable material
and helped to communicate the fire
to the other buildings in the immed-
late vicinity.
/ While waiting for your ship to come
in busy yourself building safe har-
Dor.
1t Is betting on a certainty to back
one love letter against all the reason
and logic In the world.
It is no sign of Christian to wear
a face long enough to eat oats out OF
a churn.
The man who neglects the primar.
les has no moral right to object to the
/ ticket.
Advice is cheap. and is generally
appreciated In accordance with what
