Miss Selma Mclaughlin, teacher in
district No. 3, gave a Christmas tree
in the schoolhouSe, Wednesday after
noon, which proved a very enjoyable
affair to all present, especially to the
children. The tree was well laden with
gifts which thoughtful Santa Claus had
provided, and the children pleasingly
entertained with the following pro-
gram: Song, christmas Bells" by the
schools; recitations by Otis katon,
Pearl James. Joseph Willett. Ernest
Rankins, Elsie James, Percy Morgan.
Fannie Collins. Earle Hayes, Barbara
Connors, Warren LathrOp, David Will
lett. Albert Pushard: song by school.
The schoolhouse was prettily deco
rated with evergreen and bunting and
was well filled with visitors. parents
and friends. Santa Claus himself was
present, which added greatly to the
pleasure of all. The event was very
successful and reflects great credit on
Miss Mclaughlin and the children of
the school.
Patrick Hayes, who was elected COM
mander of the Division of Maine, L.
" L., in November last, was the recipi-
ent on Christmas day of an elegant

To add to the beauty and usefulness of
The cane it has small electric flash

BAD FIRE.

fierce fire broke out this morning in the
corner building at Third and Main streets
occupied as bowling alley. The fire com
petely ruined the bowling alley and wreck
ed the building, the latter being the most
completely demolished of any building in
which Are has occurred in this city in many
years.
| The alarm was sounded by the depart
ment at five O'Clock The bell kept ringing
for quite some time, no one but the depart
ment responding to the appeal until long
after the flames were burning tiercely in the
building
The department was on hand promptly
and had three streams of water on the
| flames, making a gallant fight to keep the
fire from spreading to other buildings and
70 the store adjoining in the same block.
| This store is occupied by q. j. Carpenter as
| a seed and commission house.
The fire appeared to have started from
| the stove in the rear of the building. The
| flames soon communicated to the hard wood
| hoor which was heavily oiled and this burn
ed like so much paper and made the fire one
of the hottest which the department has had
| to contest for many day.
The entire interior of the building was
burned. The plastering has fallen off the
| sides and the roof caved in.
The building i5 owned by Mrs. Louisa Nj =.
Nishwitz of the Revere house. On the
| building there was $1,000 insurance in the
Commercial Union insurance company of
Loudon. placed by w. A. Marsh of the Home
Loan IL Investment Co.
The bowling alley was owned by G. w.
Marchant who came into possession of same
last Sunday. 1t was sold Saturday and
| changed hands again Sunday. The alley
was originally built by Sommers i Baxter
who came here from Glenwood Springs An
interest was then sold to G b. Campbell
who afterward sold his interest to Steve
Nichols of Fruita Nichols sold the alley
to G. H. Newell who in turn sold 1t to Mar
chant.
Mr.. Marchant WAS seen this morning and
stated that he left the place last night at IL
O'Clock and that he then looked at the fire
and saw that it was almost burned out. He
cannot see how the stove could have set fire
to the building.
When seen this morning Mr.. Marchant,
who is a stranger in the city, said that he
understood that there was an insurance on
the alley but he could not tell how much.
1t was afterward learned that there was
500 on the stock of cigars and confections
carried in the building and $500 on the
alley, all in the National Insurance com
pany of Hartford.
The buildi, & will have to be torn down as
the roof and west wall have fallen and the
front is dangerous.
There have been a good many fires in this
city lately
