Special to The Journal
Excelsior, MINI, April 29--Fire this
morning, at few minutes after 2 o'clock,
wiped out several business houses, entail
ing loss of about $40, 900.
The loss is divided as follows: w. j.
Thorman, meat market, loss about $4,000,
on building and st ock; insurance, $1,000.
Sampson Bros, grocery, loss, $4,000; in
surance, 81, 900. John Weller, frame build
ing, loss, 81, 900; insurance, $780, Mime
sonka News, loss, $1,000; insurance, $500.
William Estes, machine shop, loss, $3.50;
t no insurance. John Shoemaker, house
hold goods, $50; no insurance. NJ P
Davidson, harness shop in Weter building,
stock saved; loss by moving about $50.
e. M. Armagast, fruit store in Welter
building, stock saved with small loss by
moving. J. H. Clark, frame building, oc-
cupied by Sampson Bros, $780, insurance,
I $500.
The fire started in the rear of Sompson
Bros. store and spread rapidly. At one
time it looked as though the entire east
side Of Water street was doomed, and
several business houses moved their
stocks to places of safety. When the
flames reached the solid brick block of H.
+. Bullens it was checked and the resist
ance Of the brick walls, aided by hard
work from the Excelsior fire department,
served to check the flames.
Had the Bullens block gone nothing
would have saved the rest of the town on
he east side of the street to the lake,
and it would have taken at least a dozen
fine residences, three hotels, livery stable,
drug store bank and postoffice.
Help from Minneapolis was asked for
and the Mineapolis e. ST. Louis had
special train ready to bring relief The
checking of the fire made it safe to coun-
termard the order for help.
Excelsior was visited by heavy fire in
1895. which wiped out the west side of the
street. The present fire destroyed, with
two exceptions, the frame business build
ings. Sampson Bros. have made prepara-
tons for resuming business and are fill

the program containing several good things,
notably the acrobatic act by Polk and Tresk,

season. A novelty is the pantomme spectacle
presented by Gypzene and Roma, in which the

Flynn sing number of songs, among them
a new one by Harry Won Tilzer entitled
.Alphonse and CASTOR" the music Of which
is not remarkable, although the words are
ridiculous enough to make the thing go.
Mackie and Walker have a dialogue that is
almost old enough to vote. and Larry MeCale

titled 1.-THE Irish Lord.
The concluding burlesque, The Thorough

good and the costumes brilliant. One or two
of the girls are really pretty.

The ninth ward has defended success
the most prolific community in the city.
A few years ago the third and sixth wards

ninth ward came to- the front and has re-
NAMED there ever since. Seemingly there

Grouping the wards according to their

It's the Schoolhouse, of Course
Same Old Story.
NEARLY 1000 ON HALF SESSIONS
Superintendent Jordan Reports a
Total Enrolment Of 1920
With More Coming.

The board of education at its monthly
meeting this afternoon received request
for the use during part of the sum-
mer of the Franklin and Clay school
buildings for vacation schools. The re-
quest was submitted by Mrs. Marion D.
Shutter on behalf of the committee for
Fairgrounds and vacation schools of the
improvement League and of the Mothers
Club. 1t was under the direction of this
committee that the vacation school idea
was developed, and the vacation work of
last year transacted
Last year the Clay and Franklin school
buildings and grounds were used and
some i45 pupils enrolled, besides many
others who received the benefits Of the
Fairgrounds and yet did not take regular
class work. Four teachers were en-
ployed. 1t is expected that this year
the committee will be able to make many
extensions and improvements in the work.
At least eight, and possibly more teach
ers will be employed and there will be ia
cilities that will enable the committee to
care for many more pupils. The regular
lines Of work, manual training Industrial
and sewing work will be broadened and
better handled this year and in addition
a new course in nature study will be in
troduced.
1t is understood that the request of the

be granted.
Schools Still Crowded.
Superintendent Jordan's report was as
follows:
The school month of April closed on Friday
April 1S.
The whole number Ct pupils enrolled during
the month was ia boys and 112 girls, making
total of 236. This makes total during
the year of sS,229 pupils.
The whole number Of pupils on half session
is S23. OF these the largest number is in
the Adams, which has 119, followed by the
Monroe with 81, the Sumner with 49, the
Horace Mann with 76, and the Washington
with IS. The smallest number in any schoo
is found in the Irving, which has 20.

school shows that a great majority of thu
pupils in attendance would not be incon.

schools of the city. would recommend
