A GENTLE REMINDER.

| would respectfully remind you
at this time, of the danger to prop
erty through thoughtlessness or ne
glect to take necessary precautions
against fire.
This is the time of year when
great care should be exercised by
our citizens because fire may atany
time break out and in few minutes
doom the village to destruction.
Each property owner should see
that his premises are cleaned Of
hay, paper. excelsior, weeds or other
rubbish which is now dry and in
fammable and a source of danger
ito the village, and I would further
suggest that every business house,
and private home as we'll. be pro-
vided with a barrel Of water con-
veniently placed. The word FIRE
should be painted in large letters
thereon, and the water used for no
other purpose except fire. To make
sure that the barrel is full if needed
add few handfulls of salt to the
water. This increases the fire de-
stroying qualities and insures that
the water be not used for ordinary
purposes. This method costing so
little can certainly do no harm and
might sometime be the means of
saving of your property.

Fire Warden.

sand actors, stage hands and people
who depend directly on the theaters
for living are idle, with no hope Of
employment for probably fortnight.
Restaurants that cater to the theat-
rical audiences have laid of many en-
ployes. The hotels are complaining
and traffic on the street railways has
fallen off at night.
After last night it will, for some
weeks at least, be practically impossi-

IOWA'S HEAVY LOSS.
State Capitol Building at Des Moines
Badly Damaged by Fire.
Chamber Of House Of Representatives .
Charred Mass of Debris-Loss OF $780,
OOO-Gov. Cummins Helped
Fight Flames.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 5.-Fire Quilted
the northwest wing Of the state capitol
yesterday, causing an approximate loss
of 100000. The chamber of the house
Of representatives is charred mass Of
debris and cannot be repaired in time
for the approaching session Of the
legislature. The fire, which started
about ten o'clock, was not extin-
guished until six o'clock in the even
ing. The origin of the fire is not def
nitely known and Gov. Cummins will
order an immediate investigation.
The superstition is that It started either
from a lighted candle carelessly left
burning or from an electric light wire.
The fire originated near a shaft in
committee room and spread upward
and around the ceiling of the house
chamber.
The fire department was unable to
fight the flames effectively on account
Of the height of the building and ele-
Walton Of the capitol site. The only
thing possible was to cut off the prog
ress Of the flames. The gallery Of the
house chamber fell with crash, por-
lions of the debris slightly injuring
two firemen and endangering the lives
of many. The valuable volumes of
the state library, located near the fire.
were removed and the state Offices
were hastily emptied. The funds in the
state treasurer's Office were loaded ON
a wagon and carried to a down town
bank for deposit.
Gov. Cummins laid aside guberna-
torial dignity and, clad in rubber
boots and rough coat, engaged in the
work of fighting the fire.
Last night the beautiful state CAPT.
tol presented a scene of desolation.
The marble staircases were covered
with ice, the floors were flowing with
water and the Offices under the burned
part Of the building were flooded. The
Iowa capitol is one of the most beauti-
full in the United States. 1t is built
along the lines of the capitol at Al
bany, N. Y. 1t was erected at a cost
Of 100000. The state capitol COM
mission, appointed for this purpose,
had just completed the restoration and
repair Of the building at a cost of
S125,0O0, most of which had been ex-
pended in the chamber which is
ruined.

by Chief Justice Fuller the supreme
court of the United States has decided
that citizens of Porto Rico are not

Rican woman, Gonzales, who, in 1902,
was refused admission to the port of
New York on the ground that she was
likely to become public charge. The
decision was based entirely on the i'm
migration act of 1891 and took the
ground that the Porto Ricans owe al
legiance to the United States and to no
other government.
