A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Jorgen Fredson, of Pleasant Prairie. suf-
fers Severe Loss.

fers Severe Loss.
Wednesday night on account of the
fire at the Fredson farm just west OF
the city. The farm is situated directly
west of the ball park on the first drive
way connecting the Geneva and Plank
roads. Many people from the city,
thinking that the grandstand and
bleachers were in flames, FASTENED to
the scene, while farmers for miles
around gathered to watch the destruc-
tive work of the flames.
All the barns and sheds together
with the house were completely de-
stroyed. The barns and sheds had
but recently been rooted with thick
coat Of tar and this served to increase
the strength of the blaze. Fredson
made his living chiefly through the
raising of hogs, there being nearly
two hundred of this stock on the
place. Most of it was rescued, but not
few of the little pigs we're roasted
alive. The rest of the farm animals
were saved.
It seems rather strange that there
happens to be no well on the place and
that all water for home use had to be
carted a half mile. Had there been
water on the spot, the destructive fire
could easily have been halted and the
house saved. The house furniture was
carried out in time to avoid being
burned.
Jorgen Fredson is Danish widower
and lived all alone with a son of some
thirteen years. He was not, at home
when the FIRE began and consequently
cannot account for its origin. 1t is
supposed however that it started from
a smoke house. The entire loss is es-
timated at from 5000 to $500 fully
covered by insurance.

Racine life saving crew has been con-

the keeper and his family on the

on top. The other a modern boat
house to be built on the north pier, and

AN EASY GAME.

Kenosha Greys Easily Wallop the Lake
Forest Stars.
What was expected to be a red hot
base ball game at Grand View park
Thursday turned out to be regular
farce. The game between the Keno
sha Greys and the colored Stars of
Lake Forest for purse of $50 drew a
large crowd of rooters. The Lake
Forest men never had a chance to win
after the second inning, while the
score of the Greys could easily have
been doubled. The two features of
the game we're three base hit to the
center field fence by J. Herman and a

DOGS TO BE KILLED.

Waukegan Authorities Order All Unmuz-
z1ed Dogs to Be Shot.
An examination of the body of the
dog that bit the little son of Henry
Stroller, of Waukegan, last week,
shows that the dog undoubtedly had
hydrophobia. The boy was taken to
the Chicago Pasteur institute for
treatment. The fact that the mad dog
bit several other dogs before being
killed has caused the authorities of the
Illinois city to fear further outbreak
of the disease among the dogs of that
city, and the Mayor has issued an or
der for the police to kill all dogs found
unmuzzled.

DEMAND FOR ENGLISH COAL
Continuance of Strike Causes Large
orders to be Placed on other
side of Atlantic.

LONDON Oct. 6.-Continuance Of the
coal strike In the United States has given
a hllip to the market here, and it is now
believed that the demand will not be mere
flash in the pan, but will last, at least, over
the present month.
Further purchases OF coal are reported
at all large exporting centers, and quite q
number OF vessels have been 1xed TO load
cargoes for American ports at Cardiff.
Swansea, Newcastle. Liverpool and Glas>
gov
The quantity so far contracted for is very
considerable. and the fixing Of large boats
goes on apace, to the advantage OF the
freight market and the qualification Of ship
owners. 1t is reported that several Elder
Dempster steamers have been ordered to the
Tyne to load full cargoes OF coal for New
York and Boston. in addition to numerous
vessels, which within the last few days
have been chartered on the Newcastle
market.
This unprecedented export Of coal to the
United States naturally has the effect Of
raising prices on the London market, and
with the continuation Of the strike, prices
are bound to go materially higher.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Miss Viola Allen
appeared as Donna Roma, in Hall Gains
dramatiEation OF The Eternal City" which
received its first production in this coun-
try at the National theater tonight. The
house was crowded.
The play proved to be one OF tre-
mendous force and power and scenically
is one OF the most magnificent produced on
the stage in recent times. The new play
IL much more picturesque than THE Chris
tian" and exceeds It in dramatic intensity.
Miss Aliens version Of the play is radically
different from that produced by Beerbohm
Tree in London on last Thursday evening
In the Tree version Donna Roma Is a bad
woman and the play ends unhsppily, while
in Miss Aliens version Roma u q pure but
a illuminated woman who triumphs in the
end Miss Allen, II is said. refused to ac-
cept the. Tree version and insisted that Mr.
Caine preserve Donna Roma's good name.
She was applauded as the play proceeded
and her version evidently appealed TO the
Washington public.
The incidental music by Pietro Mascagni
has a distinct charm, adding greatly to
the interest OF the performance. Miss AL
