FIRE
A Dangerous Conflagration
Speedily ExtinguiShed
by the Department.

For the third time the corner build
ing on Third and Oak-sts., owned by
Alan Vessey has been damaged by
fire. About 1890 on Wednesday
morning fire was discovered in the
restaurant of Chris. Altenburg, and
while the fremen were sreedily at work
fire broke through the roof and spread
to the tailor shop of N. Goodman and
the barber shop of Ed. Evans, east of
the restaurant. The stock and fixtures
of the restaurant are total loss, as al
so the stock of woolens and several
suits of clothes undergoing repairs
for customers in the Goodman shop.
The damages done to the barber shop
were light, hole burned in the roof
a d the place badly smoked and del
uged with water. The restaurant
closed less than an hour before the
fire was discovered. The cooking was
done with an oil stove, and it is
thought the fire caught some way from
it.
The losses are: Alan Vessey on
building $3.50, insured for $1,000: Chris.
Altenburg, estimated by him at $500,
insured for 5000; N. Goodman, $500,
no insurance: Ed. Evans, 1926, covered.

Was Badly Burned,

S. w. Wall, running the hardware
department of John Kraker's Melrose
store, was rightfully burned late on
Saturday afternoon. His hands were
burned by an explosion of gasoline,
and opiates were administered by the
attending physician to relieve him
from the insufferable pain. Mr.. Wall
was at work in the basement of the
store and was using torch. He had
refilIed it with gasoline and it over
flowed. Catching fire the explosive
spread over Walz's hands and they
were instantly enveloped 10 sheet OF
flame. The fames burned into the
flesh and the man experienced untold
agonies. He will be incapacitated for
work for some weeks.-Journal Press.

QUEER FRENCH FADS.
/ SON While Another Ia just
the Opposite.

The women of Paris are just now
engaged in rivalry in regard to who
shall own the prettiest fox cub. Every
society woman has one, with the result
that the little creatures are valued at
from 500 to $25. When they become
too large to handle they are sent to
the country and are there set free on
the great estates of the rich. Fox cubs
are very clever and very playful, but
they never are quite tame, and hence
are only temporarily safe house COM
panions, says a London exchange.
When invited to spend the night at
the house of friend, it is now impera-
tive to add to the night robe and the
toilet auxiliaries a set of clean sheets.
Really fastidious people do so. When
the car and czarina were invited to be
guests of Paris, their couches were
fitted by France with linen from the
stock of royal napery accumulated dur
ing the emperorship of Napoleon III.
The imperial guests calmly and quietly
directed their attendants to remove the
French linen and substitute for it the
pieces wrought with the arms of the
Romanoffs. This, it was explained to
their perplexed entertainers, was the
car and czarina's invariable custom,
and it seemed to them to be as impera-
tive piece of refinement as the own
ing of individual toothbrushes. Now
all the smart set pretends TO have been
ever scrupulous in regard to individ-
ual bed linen, and diapers are happy be-
cause it increases the quantity and
enhances the quality of their sales,
since their patrons consider that only
exqusitely fine, monogrammed or
crested sheets, ingeniously hand
stitched, are COON enough for use when
going a visiting.

MORE ILLINOIS TIMBER.
There Has Been an Increase I'm the
supply in the Last Fifty
Years.

"Along in the '4Os," said the old
farmer, states the Chicago Inter
Ocean, "the great fear of the people
in Illinois was that the timber in the
state would soon be exhausted and
that the land would become unin-
habitable. Our coal fields had not
yet been discovered and new coun-
try settling up as fast as ours was
at that time needs a great deal of
wood. Houses were to be built, farms
to fence, and the consumption of fuel
in the great fire-places of the day was
enormous. Many farmers began tree
planting, selecting as a rule the
quick-growing varieties, such as To-
Gust and cottonwood poplar, and soft
maple. Still the consumption was
for a number of years greater than
the increase and there really seemed
a danger of a wood famine.
"After awhile, though, all thought
of this danger vanished. The devel-
opment of our coal fields lessened
the demand for wood for fuel. The
invention of wire fence produced an
other saving in wood, while the use
of brick, stone and pine lumber for
house building diminished the de-
mand for native wood. OF course the
increase in population created a large
demand for lumber, but not sufficient
to create any scare.
To-day the farmer can, in many
localities, buy his coal for what it
would cost to cut his wood. He
fences his farm with wire much more
cheaply than he could with wood,
and the network of railroads brings
almost to his door the sawed product
of the pine forests of the north ready
for the construction of house and
barn. The demand for native wood
is so small that it is estimated that
the supply of native timber in the
state is greater than it was so years
ago"
