SANITARIUM FIRE
Description of the Great Fire
by Eyewitness.
Big Buildings Wiped Up by FIames.--
All Patients Saved But 0ne.---
Will Be Rebuilt.

Editor Free Press: No doubt the
sad news has reached you of the burn
ing of world known Battle Creek
Sanitarium. The fire which took
place early on the morning of Feb. IL
was discovered shortly before four
O'Clock.
The alarm was sent in at once and
when the 6remen arrived it was
already a question if the sanitarium
could be saved.
The FIR vas found to have started in
the base .ant under the bathrooms.
The exac cause will never be known,
but it is opposed the fire was caused
by frictio Of electric wires.
The it5men began fighting like
beavers and many prayer was heard
that death and destruction could be
averted.
Slowly but surely the fire demon
kept gaining upon the fighting fire.
men and no sooner would they get
the best of the flames in one place
until they would leap up from some
other quarter continually creeping into
the main building. 1t seemed that
the dear old. sanitarium, the Battle
Creeks great and old health institute,
that had made our city famous all
over the world was surely doomed !;
then the doctors, nurses, employees
and many of the gentleman patients
and city people began the work of
rescuing perishing souls.
The work of rescue had to be done
in hurry and to US now it seems a
wonderful miracle to know that of the
303 patients in the building, many of
whom were invalids, only one man
lost his life and he was out but went
back in and was overcome by smoke.
From the main building the fire leap
ed across Barbour street and soon the
hospital was mass of flames, also
three cottages. Strange as it may
seem, three short hours from the time
the first smoke was discovered the five
buildings were in ashes.
But although the buildings lies in
embers, the principles which were
behind them stand firm.
The sanitarium did not live in brick
and mortar but in the lives of its
thousands of patients.
Last Thanksgiving day a dinner
was given to over two thousand guests,
patients and helvers, celebrating the
thirty-f fifth anniversary of the found
ing of the sanitarium.
As we looked over the growth o.
the work from the little two story
cottage to the magnificent six story
structure we were made to exclain

SECURED A LEASE
Irving Property Taken For Fiji
teen Years.
Standard Brewing Co. Making I'm.
portant Improvements on Its
Plant.

The Standard Brewing Co. has secur-
ed fifteen years lease Of the Irving
property, corner of Front and.Jackson
streets, except the corner occupied by
the American Express Co. The prop
erty leased comprises frontage on
Front street of forty-six feet, running
back to the alley, and also the rear Of
the corner lot, back of the express
Office. Negotiations are also proceed
ing, looking to the purchase of the
entire property.
One of the lots leased contains a
one-story building, and the other lot
is vacant. It is the intention of the
brewing company..to build two story
building on the vacant lot.
The work on the brewing company 8
stock house is progressing rapidly, un-
der the superintendent of John
Adams. In order to keep out the warm
air in summer and all dampness 100, :
900 pounds of pitch is being heated and
run into the walls and flooring, filling
in the space between two layers OF
sheeting an inch and half apart.
The pitch is run between layers of
air tight paper that is next to the
board sheeting. Being insulated in
this manner, and with machine for
reducing the temperature, the build
ing will be kept just above the freez-
ing point.
The capacity of the stock house will
be more than doubled, bringing it up
to So, 600 barrels. Nineteen immense
oak chip casks will contain 100 barrels
each of lager beer, and twenty-five
stock tubs will contain 100 barrels
each. The casks are Of the best quality
of oak, and a carload of very heavy
oak barrels has just been received, to
be used in shipping beer. The barrels
have all been numbered, which is q
new practice of breweries.
As soon as the work on the stocs
room has been completed, racking
room will be built by joining the big
brew house to the stock house. The
intervening space will be rooted over
and walls built, closing up what il
now a court and driveway.
The various improvements going OF
at the brewry mean large expendi
ture of money. and they are made
without the aid of the proposed bono
issue, which may not be foated.
The company has put a new dray OF
the street, having carrying capacity
of 8, 900 pounds, or "a barrels. 1t ii
