A Small Fire.

The fire alarm from Box "a was rung
In at about 1915, Thursday forenoon,
because of blaze in the room In the &C.
cond story of Ordway's block which Is
being fitted up for the use of the New
England Telephone Company. The fire
caught In some excelsior under bench
on which man was at work with an
alcohol torch used for soldering pur-
poses. He was employed at this bench
In connecting certain wires and In some
way the fire from the torch, by flash OF
spark ignited this excelsior and 1t famed
up fercely and filled the room with
smoke and fame. 1t was promptly at
tackled by Forrest Foodwin, ESQ.,, whose
Office is on the same floor, and others
who appeared on the scene of action
and thus kept in check until some pals
of water were brought and the fire ex-
tinguished. The fire companies respond.
ed to the call with alacrity and laid Sc
veral lines of hose but the water was not
turned on. The damage to building OF
contents was slight.

That Attorney General Knox has suf-
ficient evidence against the beef trust to
authorize him to bring a suit against the
packing companies which constitute it,
as combination In restraint of freedom
of trade, is welcome information to the
public. The promptness of the admin
stration in this matter is another piece
Of evidence showing that President
Roosevelt is not only in earnest to en-
force the laws, but that he goes at the
enforcement with the energy which has
characterized him 10 everything he un-
dertakes. So 1t comes about that while
the Democratic members of the House
are asking for an investigation into the
causes Of the rise In the price of meats,
the Republican administration has found
evidence Of an unlawful combination to
put up prices, and has, through the at
torney general, directed that suits be be.
gun at once. The outcome Of this pro.
ceeding will not only be watched with
interest by the people, but those who
are In other combinations of like charac-
ter will take notice, and 1t may have a
salutary effect upon them.

Death of Henry Dugan.

Henry Dugan died in his home on the
south side early Friday morning, from
the effect of the drinking of ammonia.
1t is supposed it was case of suicide.
Medical aid was summoned as soon as
his condition was discovered but it was
of no avail. He had apparently drank
about half of a bottle Of the stuff and the
dose was too powerful and acted toe
quickly for him to survive the shock.
Henry Dugan was about 3S years OF
age and unmarried. His father, Thomas
Dugan, worthy, industrious man, died
about year and half ago, leaving the
son nice little property valued at some
OF, 900 or $1,000. He had been consider.
ably dissipated of late. He had no neal
relatives In town. A Mr.. Seward and
his sister, Miss Mamie Seward, cousins
OF the deceased, arrived here Saturday
and burial occurred, Sunday.

Dear Sir: Paint is one of the things
that Railroad Companies know all
about. Do you know what "all about
meansP 1t means, in paint, where to
get IL.
We sell the paint for two-thirds of the
cars and stations and bridges and every
thing else, that railroad men want to
keep goodlooking and sound, all over
the country.
A man who wants gallon or two paint
knows nothing about it; buys whatever
Is handy, or gets some painter to make"
it.
A Railroad Company asks its chemist
(which is the best?''
The cheapest thing, to preserve or
beautify anything with, is paint. SO the
whole world is painted; except of
course, the part of it owned by poor
slow folks
And the paint they use is peoples in
telligence. meter: or ignorance. meter
tells how much or how little they know.

ufacturer of Portland, takes no stock in
this theory. In recent communication,
published In the Portland Press, he says
that sit is the universal testimony of our
business men that Portland has never

in expenses amounts to many thousands
of dollars. The poor are better housed,
better fed, better clothed and have more
of the comforts of life. The testimony
