At recent meeting OF the Lyceum

the highest order.
The public generally will hear with
great pleasure of the decision OF the

Fighters

Fire destroyed fully $4,000 worth
o. property early this morning at
LAt0nas and for a time IL looked as
though the entire business section
Of the suburb would be destroyed.
The fire started shortly after 2
o'clock and had burned for half and
hour before the fire apparatus from
Fremont aud the city arrived on
the scene.
The fire started In the rear Of the
grocery store 81 N. Finkelateln and
butcher shop % Frank Seller. The
exact cause cannot be ascertained.
Men az a lumber mill a short dis
lance away saw the fire and gave
the alarm. Before the town was
thoroughly aroused 20 the danger.
the grocery store and butcher shop
were a mass Of flames. and the
other stores on the east side Of the
street railway track were beginning
20 burn.
The flames spread rapidly 20 the
buildings on the east side of the
street and quickly reached the
buildings on the west side under the
end Of the treEtle that forms the
softh end Of the bridge. The water
main was on the east side OF the
bridge aud vas soon burned off.

supply. The fire fighters then had
TO resort 20 the lake for water.
Before the fire department from
Fremont had arrived. the fire had
eaten it's way under the brige and
communicated with the big two
story building on the west side Of
the track. This was quickly en-
veloped In flames. and IL looked as

though the north end Of the bridgs
and ali the buildings on that side
Of the lake would be wholly de-
stroyed. The arrival Of ssslstance
from the nelghborinK towns was
the salvation Of the Paysee Hard
ware store and several smaller
buildings near by.
The department had a hard fight
for the fire had gained great
Roadway before efficient work could
be done. No fire house is located
az Latona. and u was due to this
that the fire spread so rapidly anal
caused the great loss. The blaze
virtually wiped out the greater part
Of the business section OF the town.

Obituary Rundell.

Samuel Rundell was born in
Padstow, Cornwall, England, Nov.
IA, 1922. He was united in mar
riage to Keziah Biddick March 81,
184S, and few days later started
for America, arriving in Platteville
two months after leaving England.
Here they remained for seven
years, moving then to a farm in
the township Of Mifain, where they
celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary March 81, 1898.
After long lives spent in useful
labor they retired from fam life
to their pleasant home in the village
of Livingston Oct. 3, 1900, to enjoy
well earned vacation. Here they
were tenderly cared for by their
loving daughter Mile until they
both passed away, Mrs. Rundell
Jan. 10, 1901, and Mr.. Rundell
March 81, 1904.
To this union were born four
teen children, eight daughters and
six sons, ten Of whom are still
living, nine in southwestern Wis
consin, and one in Hurley, S. D.
Besides these there are left to
mourn his loss numerous grand
children and great grandchildren,
two sisters and four brothers.

Men Who Will Have Charge of Our
Own Affairs.
Bears Drift on Iceberg.

The Baltimor. American says that
the body of polar bear floating in
midocean, sighted by the steamship
Templemore, now in port, is probably
the sequel to the tragic story told re-
Gently by Captain Jacobs of the North
German Lloyd steamship Hanover,
who reported having seen at sea a
huge iceberg ON which six large polar
bears were walking about.
When the dead bear was first seen
it was thought to have been large
piece of ice, but on closer inspection
the nature of the object became APP
parent. That the dead bear was one
of the six which Captain Jacobs saw
there is little doubt.
1t is probable that the berg on which
the animals were slowly drifting to
their doom eventually melted by COM
ing in contact with warm current of
water, and the passengers on the float
ing berg were compelled to swim for
it; or, perhaps, the bear found by the
Templemore, suffering from hunger,
left his companions on the remnants
of the berg.

AN IDEAL DAY.
Nature We'd With Man in Making
Easter Sunday a Delightful One.

Perhaps more beautiful Easter
Sunday was never gathered into
the capacious lap of the past than
dawned on the 3rd of April, 1904.
Nature appeared to be vieing with
man in the glory of perfect day
to celebrate the resurrection of
Christ in the services of Easter Sun
day. All of the churches were
filled by throngs of churchgoers
and the brilliance of Easter finery
that made it's initial appearance
reflected the beauty of flower
decorated affairs and pulpits.
Special musical numbers and APP
propriate sermons were in order
A delightful morning was followed
by a fair and comfortable warm
day, permitting young and old to
lay aside their winter wraps with
out shivering for the first time
since autumn breezes ceased to
blow. 1t is unnecessary to state
that all enjoyed the day, and were
thankful for it.

Where Russia Leads.

Russia, which had freed its serfs
before we emancipated our slaves has
now anticipated our most advanced
factory legislation with law provid-
ing compulsory compensation for en-
ployes sustaining injuries of any kind
While at work. If the accident proves
fatal an annuity is payable to the
widow or children. This annuity,
which is to equal the employees wages
for 200 days every year, is seen to be
very liberal.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect
OF the law is that it is passed in the
interest of labor with imperial consent
at time when the government is CIV
ing the strongest encouragement to
manufactures.-New York World.
