TWO SMALL FIRES LAST NIGHT
Second Alarm Rung for One Through
 a Misapprehension.

Second Alarm Rung for One Through
 a. Misapprehension.
 The fire department was kept busy last evening by two small fires which caused total damage of not more than $75. An alarm was rung from box S6 at the corner of East and Bridge streets few minutes after 6 o'clock for a blaze at 19 Hamilton street in a house occupied by Domenica Scopett and family. The blaze was caused by a kerosene lamp. MT. Scopett dropped a lamp which she was carrying and the burning. oil spread over the floor The damage caused before the fire was extinguished did not exceed $10. The next alarm was rung at 7:15 from box 129 at the corner of Lamber- ton and Wilson streets. Immediately following the first alarm a second alarm was rung from the same box and thousands of people flocked to the To- cality thinking because of the two alarms that there was big fire. For tunately this was not the case. The fire was at a house at 258 1-2 Lamber- ton street, owned and occupied by Ben jamin Chadwick, and it, like the fire a little earlier in the evening, was caused by kerosene lamp.
 A lamp was standing on table in the kitchen near an open window. Mrs. Chadwick had just stepped out of the room when she heard a crash and huwying back she found the lamp smashed on the floor and the floor cov- cred with blazing oil. It is thought that the lamp was knocked from the table by the curtain of the window be- ing blown back against the lamp by wind blowing through the open win dow.
 A neighbor rang an alarm from box 129 and Sergeant Orr of the Howard avenue precinct rang the second alarm not knowing that the first had been rung.
 The locality is far removed from a fire bell tower and frequently the ring ing of fire alarm cannot be heard there. Sergeant Orr not having heard the first alarm very naturally thought that no alarm had yet been rung, and rang one.
 The damage done did not amount to more than $50 or $75.

KOP DISPATCHES PUB LISHED.

More Light on Butler Warren Contro- versy-Lord Roberts Censure - Re- | sponsibility for Retreat. ] London, April 17.-All the official dis patches referring to the defeat sustain
 ed by the British troops under General
 Butler at Spion Kop, Natal, on January 24, 1900, were given out this morning Those hitherto unpublished merely em- phasize how hopelessly muddled were
 the preparations for that engagement.
 The controversy between General Bull
 CT and General Sir Charles Warren is
 than previously hinted at, while a new extract from one of Lord Roberts dis patches brings additional censure on General Butler. Lord Roberts declares that General Buffers endeavor to put the responsibility for the defeat on General Warren was not justifiable and holds that it was Buffers duty to inter- vene when he saw things were going wrong. This remark was caused by a dispatch from Butler, in which he says:
 I saw no attempt on the part of War ren to either grapple with the situation or command his force himself. We lost our chance by Warren's slowness. He seems to be a man who can do well what he can do himself; but he cannot command, l can never employ him again on an independent command. I ought to have assumed command my self when I saw things were not going we'll. I blame myself now for not do- ing so.
 Butler explains that he failed to su persede Warren because it might have discredited the latter with the troops, which was an especially serious mat ter as, if Butler had been shot, War ren would have succeeded to the su- preme command.
 The question of the responsibility for the actual retreat from Spion Kop is shrouded in a maze of dispatches proving that a mistake was made in sending a heliogram, and that there was a general desire to shirk the onus. Beyond this washing of dirty linen, nothing appears to have been accom- | plshed by the publication of the dis

EVER GET |" FULL ?"
On Other Things Than L,ouor.

It is profitable for anyone to study food in order to regulate the health not with medicine but by building up healthy nerve centers with good food
 A man who has made something of study on this line writes from Iowa City: 'When I first tried Grape Nuts it was at the table of a prominent state official and the remarkable taste at tracted me. I afterwards investigated the subject carefully and discovered that Grape-Nuts contains dextrose sugar. The starchy part of the food is transformed into starch sugar or dex- trose. Those same results are produced by the digestive organs by the action of the saliva and the pancreatic juices on starchy foods. These facts con- vinced me that Grape Nuts is a natural pre-digested food and just what I re- duired and needed.
 l had been suffering from full feel ing after meals and generally more or less headache. All this trouble left when I quit using white bread, warm biscuits, etc.
 It was about this time I came home from school, broken down physically and mentally. l only weighed 120 lbs At my earnest request Mother began serving Grape-Nuts every meal and she said she had never eaten anything that agreed with her physical condition as did my new food" as she termed it.
 In five weeks I weighed 133 pounds 8 gain of IS pounds and 1 feel so strong that I have been able to do from 10 to Is hours of hard work daily. My mind has never seemed so clear before and l am thoroughly convinced that there is no food like Grape-Nuts to produce health and a strong and clear brain.' Lee Arlington, Box 1755, sIoWa City, la.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.

The residence of Miss Kate A. Hotch- kiss of 400 Elm street was entered by burglars Wednesday night and consid- erable small stuff taken. Among other things the burglar got $10 in money, a gold filled watch, six silver spoons and a small diamond ring.
 Entrance was affected on the first floor by a bathroom window. No one in the house heard the slightest noise, and as in the cases the night before not the slightest clue to the identity was let.
 It is believed that this is the same burglar who entered the Armstrong home Tuesday night and very likely the man who burglarized the residence of General Ford recently.

Vital statistics tell the story. The
average life of the man in the stoke hole,
the rolling mill, the blast furnace, the
glass factory. is far below the average
life of the open air worker.
Yet the average life of these hard
working men could be considerably pro-
longed, if once and for all they would
learn the force of that Biblical state
ment, rThe blood is the life" If a man
seeks to prolong his life, he must take
account of his blood for that is the
vital fluid.
WAITING FOR THE WORST.
The chief cause of a physical break
down is often the fact that people put
off giving themselves proper care. They
don't want to spend the money for medi-
cine, or they don't feel quite sick enough
to want to take it. They feel languid,

MINNEsoTA'S CONTENTION.
Supported by Seven Other Sovereign States
Against the Mercer.

Supported by Seven Other Sovereign State,
Against the Merger.
Briefly stated. the 10000 words OF
the bill filed by the Attorney General
OF Minnesota against the Northern
Securities Company, is as follows:
Can a corporation organized under
the laws of New Jersey use its corpo-
rate powers so as to violate or over.
throw the constitutional enactment OF
. sister State and thus accomplish in.
directly that which this court has
held cannot be done directly, especial
ly in view Of the fact that the New
Jersey corporation was organized for
the express purpose of accomplishing
this result?
The State of Minnesota still owns
5000, 900 acres OF public land, valued
at SIS, Zoo, 600, and traversed by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Railroads. If tie merger be effected,
the bill says, these roads will cease to
build spurs into these lands and the
State will suffer. This is the first of
the arguments presented against the
consolidation. The bill points out
that the State has granted 10, SOC, 900
acres Of public lands to the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific.
The complaint alleges that the
freight rates over the two lines have
been lower than they would be under
unity OF control.
1t is set forth that the Northern Sc
curities Company was organized by J..
J. Hill, w. P. Clough, J. Pierpont
Morgan and others who were continu.
ally in conference over means by
which the laws Of Minnesota might be
successfully evaded. The bill then
describes the plan for the exchange of
stock and declares it unlawful.
This. it is claimed, is part of plan
to perpetuate monopoly in railway
traffic in Minnesota, ain restraint of
trade and against public policy"
1t has been the settled policy of the
State to prohibit consolidation of par.
allel or competing lines, and the law
OF 1874 is quoted, as we'll as the am.
plitying act of 1881 and the Anti
Trust law Of 1889. The oratrix asks
that the defendant be required to
show cause why it should not be per-
petually enjoined.
