BIG FIRE IN WADsWoRTH.
n. Jud Aliens Stables Burned-Horses
Perish,

At about o'clock yesterday morn
ing the large livery stables of H. Jud
Allen in WadsWorth was discovered to
be on fire. The department found it i'm
possible to save the building and turn
ed its attention to the surrounding
buildings with good results.
The blacksmith shop adjoining was
the first to be destroyed and it is be-
lieyed that the fire originated there, al
though the cause Of it is unknown.
The building was large and sub
stantial one and was well equipped for
the livery business. All the contents
were destroyed including three horses.
Mr.. Allen places his loss at $1,000
Attorney Hummel who gave The
Journal the account of the fire, says
there was no insurance on the prop
erty. In fact the insurance companies
all cancelled their risks in Wadsworth
when the news was given out that the
shops would be removed to Reno

different what they always There is nothing
new in demands wages when business is
particularly good demands especially vigorous
and the unions rapidly recruited. When business
falls off wages decline and the unions find impossible to
prevent men from working for half loaf when they
cannot get a whole one, and the membership of the
unions declines The will work. whether they get
wages less but they going to get all they
can and when they believe the employers are making
large profits they especially imperative in their de-
mands But when the satisfied that they
getting all they they will asking for They
