FIRE LOSSES

FIRE LOSSES
In times of stress and fire people are
apt to examine into the solidity and
strengthen companies in which they
are insured. But why insure in a
weak company and take chances on a
Baltimore fire when there are plenty
Of good companies.
The undersigned represent some OF
the leading and strongest English and
American companies. Among the five
English companies is included that
peerless prince Of all companies-The
Royal of Liverpool, which pays tits
Baltimore loss Of one million dollars
without discount and contributes
$40, 900 to the fire sufferers. All the
English companies pay their Balti-
more losses direct from England. OF
the companies represented We mention
the we'll known Continental Of New
York, the National of Hartford and
the Germania of New York.
q a When considering insurance give ue
a call. Respectfully,
Signor & Schallern

DOUBLE BARN FIRE.

Barns belonging to J. A. McGregor
and Herman Vierk, situated on the
alley between Seventh and Eighth
streets southeast, south of Broadway,
were destroyed by fire Sunday night.
The alarm was given shortly after
$50 o'clock, fire starting in the Nc.
Gregor barn, back of his residence.
and burning 6ercely. The spar ks
from the fire were large and numer-
GUS, and fears were entertained for
the many residences in the neighbour
hood, but the energetic work Of the
fremen confined the principal damage
to the McGregor barn and the Vierk
barn. across the alley. A shed near
by belonging to Mr.. Lille was also
damage.
The residence occupied by Manager
A. J. Schmidt of the Monarch eleva-
tor was very near the blaze, and some
of the household goods were removed,
but in spite of the very hot blaze the
mousse was saved, also MI. DOUUyu =
house.
The fire had quite start before
beng discovered. Mr.. Schmidt saw q
light in the barn loft, long time
before the fire bell rang, but paid no
particular attention to it. There
were electric light wires on the lower
floor. One theory. is that someone
who has been stealing pigeons may
have dropped match on the loft
floor. The loss, aside from the feed
and hay, is estimated at $500, and
Mr.. McGregor had $500 insurance on
the barn in the Phoenix, and $500 on
contents in the Pennsylvania.

Bride Through Cor
reSpondence


W. 81. Randall. living near Lin
coin, and Mrs Myrtle Smith. of VIC
tor, Iowa, were married by Judge
Shaw Saturday morning.
The happy couple never saw each
other before Saturday morning. and
the marriage was brought about by
correspondence. The Pioneer Press of
Friday has the following:
For two days woman who gives
her name as Myrtle Smith of Victor,
Iowa, has been stranded in st. Paul.
For two days William Randall of
Lincoln, MIMI, may have been wait
ing at Little Falls, MIMI, for a
bride.
The woman was found exhausted
yesterday, carrying large grip, and
heavy basket, through the streets of
st. Paul, searching for the relief So
ciety. Two women noticed her stand
ing at Fourth and Robert streets, late
in the afternoon, gazing vacantly up
and down the street. She asked them
where the relief .. agent could sbe
found, and they telephoned M. l..
Hutchins, who is caring for her pend
ing investigation of the case.
She had never seen the man she was
going to marry, according to he1
story, the courtship having been en-
tirely by correspondence. She secured
the address Of William Randall of
Lincoln, MIMI, from a Mrs. How of
New York, she says, to whom she
paid 81 for being placed in correspon-
dence with husband.
Randall, she says. wrote to her that
he in widower living on farm near
Lincoln, MIMI, and has four child
ren. He asked her to marry him, and
to meet him at the American house,
Little Falls, MIMI, and sent her SIS
to pay her fare.
Yesterday the woman was penniless,
although the fare from Victor to St..
Paul Is about 81. She said she has
been in st. Paul two days, and that
she has telegraphed to Lincoln, MINI.
and written two letters, but received
no reply.
:The woman says she has been mar
ried before. and claims to be thirty
two years old, the same age as the
man she expected to marry. She was
poorly dressed, and looks ten years
older than the age she gives. She
claimed to have a father. Emanuel
Wertz, living at Victor, Iowa, and a
brother. Arthur Wertz, at Bancroft,
