Blaze Started Shortly Refore -Four
O'Clock Friday Morning and the
plant Was in Ashes Within Half
an Hour Thereafter.
ORIGIN is mysterious, Fires Were All Put Out the
Night Before When They Quit Work-Loss is
Heavy to Company and Insurance Is Light.

The plant OF bhe Glen Elk EiielS Com
pany in Glen Elk No. ? was de-troyed
by fire Friday morning.
The fire was discovered about 400
o'clock and had made such headway at
that honr that it was. practically con.
sumed. j. B. Allen, one of the stock
holders of the company, who lives in tne
yards OF the plant in a small house and
was the night watchman, examined the
Kiln that was being burned shortly be
fore the fire was discovered. 1t was
about $50 o'clock, when ne made the
rounds Of the plant and the fire must
have started shortly after that, as he
is certain there was no ire there ut that
hour.
NJ. wilkinson, who lives on South
Second stret, was apprised of the blaze
BY John i. Hnrter, shortly after 400
o'claclS. Mr. Hartcr had been on bust
ness trip to Cincinnati and wnen he got
off OF No. at the depot, he saw the
blaze He ran all the way to Mr.. Will
kiusoh's house and aroused him from
his sIumbers The latter hurried to the
plant to find It about all destroyed.
Mon who work at the plant We're the
first to give the alarm to Mr.. Allen
They reside in the patch and heard the
blowing Of the whistle caused by the
steam from the boiler.
The degree of the burning was so
great that they were powerless to do
any thing to stop it or eNtinguish it, and
as a result they merely watched it burn
The origin Of the blaze is mysterious
as it is stated there was no fire about
tile plant except under the kiln OF brick
that was being burned, and as that i
fireproof. it could not have started from
that source. Also, when they quit work
the night before the fires were all turned
out and there was no possible way for
ii to catch. 1t would seem the fire was
the work of an incendiary.
The plant was modernly equipped and
had large capacity. The loss Is esti-
mated at at least $4,000 and the com
pany carried very light insurance.
The company is composed Of W.
Wilkinson, the Charles Ogden estate.
j b. Allen and George Peek, among
whom Mr.. Wilkinson is one OF the heav,
lest losers.
Mr.. Wilkinson, general manager Of
tne company, says the plant will be re.
built at the earliest practicable moment
The machinery was entirely ruined
and new machinery viii have to be in
stalled ana this win be the heaviest ex-
penac. Several thousand brick were on
the grounds but they were not injured
The kiln that was burning was con
sidcrably damaged on account Of the
gas going out at critical moment on
.5ecount of the fire.

The Get Together" Page

Classified advertising gets a
kind of reading that gives it pc
culiar power. People who want
certain things go to the want
columns as naturally as people
who want nails go to a hardware
store-and this habit is evidently
increasing. Anyone who looks
over the classified columns of a
newspaper can form an idea of
the enormous. q extent of this adj
vertising, and Of the close interest
with which these columns are
read.
The secret Of this interest is in
the concentration of force. Here
the advertisements of people who
want help, or positions, or rooms,
or houses, or goods, are gathered
all in one place. No time is lost.
Those who have a certain thing to
sell put it Immediately before the
very people who are looking for
that thing. All that is required is
to get together and agree on terms.
