Steam as a pisinfectant.

Experiments to determine the eff

indicted, and especially those at Sa-
lem, have left the state and in all
probability win never be heard Of
again. Still, the indictments standing
against them may deter them from
coming back and re-engaging in the
business. The spirit OF the body
seemed to hit every body coming and
going and IL seems strange that some
of the guiltiest should escape. In
that respect even the best Of the grand
juries are farces. It is not their fault
but that of the witnesses, who are
sent before them, or OF parties who
shun the grand jury room. For in-
stance a saloon keeper CT two not two
months ago was taken before q magis-
trate ON the charge Of Sunday selling
and there is no doubt that the viola
tion was committed. Examination
was waived and bond was duly en-
tered into. but the grand jury did not
lind an Indictment. Why? In all
probability because some OF the howl
ers for reform and their cohorts raised
the witness enough money to take
journey for the time being. 1t is true
that the grand jury can act only on
the evidence before 1t but the alleged
reformers should have exposed certain
fellows instead Of assisting them in
evading duty they owe to the state
and the community. The court, the
officials and the grand jury would
open their eyes wide, II they were to
become aware Of the methods of some
alleged reformers.

The Hoff block on Main street was
damaged again by fire Saturday night.
November % this building was dis

was experienced In extinguishing the
blaze. Much damage was done at the
time to the building and the stock Of
goods of the tenants.
The building had been repaired and
the tenants were just getting their
goods nicely installed, when Saturday
nights blaze occurred. The Clifford
Osborn Undertaking Company had es-
tablished one Gf the handsomest stores
in.their line in the state. The new
clothing house there had moved into
the building since the tirst fire as had
also the Citizens Pressing Company.
Little was 1t suspected that there was
to be another fire so soon.
There were various theories as to
the origin OF the first blaze. Some
thought that it caught from a live
electric wire; others believed hot
stove caused it but none knew posi-
lively. The electric wires, however,
did not figure in the second nre as
there were none in the building.
The nre was discovered about !
O'Clock by Jesse Carr who had gone TO
the Pressing Company's rooms to get
