Roosevelt himself is likely to- go to

at the white house during the after

Groton, Mass, Feb. S.-From

symptoms grew more serious and at

prescribed and yesterday morning the

THE president" he said. has two
reasons for not wishing me to discuss
the case; first because he considers his
son as of no more consequence than
the sons of scores of other families
represented at school and, secondly.
becaue the reports, through no inten-

BIG NEENAH BLAZE.
Cold Storage Building of Great Value

Cold Storage company's plant. j. f.
kutler is the manager of the plant and
company is composed of Appleton
business men.
The fire departments of Neenan and
Menasha were unable to make any
Roadway and assistance came from
Appleton. Cheese, eggs, butter and
other products were stored in the
warehouse and nothing was saved.
The value of the buildings and proper
ty destroyed will probably aggregate

covered by insurance. The building
was owned by the company and NJ.

was insured for $4,000. In the spring
the building will be rebuilt.

down and broken. Many persons in
the buildings nearby were knocked
down. Scores of men and women,
many carrying children, rushed to
the street. They were greeted by the
glare of fire from the manholes.
Many women were screaming with
fear. Street car windows were
smashed and passengers severely
shaken up. The sight of the flames
rushing from the ground caused a
panic in the cars and a number OF
persons were bruised and knocked
down in the excited exit. One car
filed with passengers was thrown
from the tracks.
Among the dead are supposed to be
three children of the Trostle family
whose bodies have not yet been re-
covered 1t is not known positively
that they were in the house at the
time, but search in the neighborhood
does not show any trace of them.
There were six children in the family,
and there is little doubt that all eight
Three other people who are said to
be dead are supposed to have been
customers in the meat market at the
time of the explosion. The cause of
the explosion is not known, but all IN
dications show it was due to escaping
gas in the basement of the 1rostle
house.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning. There was a dazz-
ling flash, a deafening roar, a cloud
of dust and shattered timbers where
the Trostle house stood On botn
sides of Archer avenue and 22d and
29d streets every pane of glass was
blown out and a number of residents
in the damaged buildings suffered
slight injuries from flying glass. Ad-
joining the Trostle building on the
west was the two-story frame in
which John Mcleod had a saloon 1t
vanished in the same second as the
meat market. 1t was reported one OF
two people were killed here but the
story could not be substantiated.
In the ruins of the buildings oc,
cupied by Trostle & Mcleod the
flames burned so fiercely that If the
inmates were not killed by the force
of the explosion they must have met
death by fire. Close to the Trostle
building stood the Peoples hospital. a
small affair. which had but a few
patients. The building rocked and
every window was blown out but none
OF the patients were injured.

GOOD ROADS.

STATE REVENUE AGENT.
The amounts collected by and
through the State Revenue Agent and
paid into the State, county, municipal
and levee board treasures, for the
past two years is unprecedented in the
history of that office, and is ample evil
dence of the efficiency of Agent Writ
Adams, who has conducted all suits
instituted by him with fairness and
impartiality. By reference to his re-
port, it will be seen that he has paid
into the State treasury the sum of
$345,552.52; into the county treasures
the sum Of $435, ,664.S6, and into muni-
cipal treasures the sum of $49, ,930.49,
and into the levee board treasures the
sum of $3,521.59, which, together with
amounts in hands of tax collectors
($52,150.62), makes a grand total of
$1,096, ,958.05, less his fees.
The success of the Revenue Agent in
collecting these several sums is suffi-
cient proof Of the wisdom of the legis-
lature in establishing this Office and
clothing it with wise laws. l am in
formed that the Revenue Agent has
certain suits pendings in court for
taxes claimed by the State, which, if
successful, will considerably augment
the amounts already paid into the
State treasury.
