Stories Differ.

Investigation by the Pere Marquette
officials into the cause Of the wreck
has brought out some conflicting state
ments. Operator r. NJ. Booth at Nc
Cords station states most emphatically
that when he received orders to hold
the westbOund train at McCOrd's he
Immediately displayed the red light and
set the board against the approaching
train The lamp was burning brightly,
he states, two minutes before the train
appeared in sight Of the depot He
heard the rumble of the train and
" hen he noticed that the brakes were
not being applied. he rushed to the
coor 10 flag it just as the rear coach
passed.
Engineer Waterman. his fireman and
Conductor Neil an state that the signal
lamp was burning. but that instead Of
red light il displayed a white light.
The engineer is more emphatic on this
point that either the fireman or con-
ductor. Waterman says If there had
been no light displayed at McCOrd's
station he would have stopped. but he
saw white light. and supposing the
track was clear. passed without stop
ping. At McCord's there were three
switch lights and the light on the
board. The switch lights were all
white The distance from the order
board to the nearest switch light was
about three car lengths. and the order
board light stood much higher than the
switch lights. The trainmen do not
think either could have mistaken a
switch light for the signal light When
the order board was examined today
it was turned with the red lamp
against the westbound train, and this
tn a measure confirms Operator Booths
statement.
The officials investigating the wreck
are inclined TO believe the statement
made by the operator at McCord' 8.
They say he has been in the employ

This district has decided hereafter to
have two teachers. This is a good step
1t points to the formation OF graded
schools over our county, and where
districts have but few patrons and
fewer pupils, to the consolidation Of
school districts. It's the only way to
solve the school problem. Rural dis
trlcts will make better schools and
call for better teachers. 1t will raise
the standard OF education in our state
1t will remedy the school wage pro-

In 1899, the President OF the United
States sent to the Government Print
Ing Office, accompanied by a short
message, the report Of the Naval
Court OF Inquiry upon the destruction
Of the Maine. When printed, that re-
port contained 298 pages of text, l5x7
inches, twenty.four full-page engrav-
ings, and four-color Autograph. 1t
was not until 3 o'clock in the after
noon that the shop got the originals
Of the illustrations, and 1t was after
8 o'clock that night when the manu-
script Of the text reached the foremans
hands. Before Congress assembled
the next morning complete copy Of

FIRE.!
Great Destruction OF Property Mar.

rowly Averted.
[1Friday night about twelve o'clock
or a few minutes later, fire broke out
In the Couch building on the north
east corner Of the square completely
destroying it apd adjoining building
belonging to Moses Cole.
There are several theories as to the
origin Of the fire, which seemed to
start in the northwest corner Of the
Couch property but no one was aware
Of the fire until 1t was we'll under
way and hence the cause is unknown.
]. G. Lynch it seems was the discov.
erer Of the fire. AS he was going home
from his work he noticed a light, as
OF one striking match, on the north
east corner Of the square, and in a
short time the building seemed to be
ablaze. The alarm was Immediately
sounded and In a very few minutes a
large crowd had assembled and the
fire company was out. Owing to alb.
sence Of tank the city pump had to be
started to secure necessary pressure
for water to be Of service and Frank
Chapman was Immediately dispatched
for that purpose, but before the wa.
ter could be effectively used, the
Couch and Cole buildings we're past
saving. The attention Of the fire
company was directed to the Page
building and almost miraculously fl
was saved from the threatened des.
tructlon, although the wind fanneo
the flames almost against the sides Of
the old wooden building.
The loss to Mr.. Couch was about
$500 In butter, eggs and other pro-
ducts. To Mr.. Mellon about 5000 IN
furniture, feed, -four, etc belonging To
bis store. A part Of Mr.. Mellun's
stock was saved. The buildings were
old and Of little value. The loss was
not covered by insurance.
