Considerable excitement was
created Tuesday afternoon by
the alarm of fire, when a blaze
was discovered in a pile Of
boxes and straw and packing
stuff to the rear of NeuhOff' S
restaurant. The stuff made a
fierce blaze, but fortunately it
was discovered before it had
time to communicate to the ad-
jacent buildings, or serious
loss might have resulted. The
danger of serious consequences
on this occasion suggests that
such in1ammable matter as was
in the pile should be placed
further away from frame build
ings. Had the fire occurred at
night and got under head way
the loss Of some of the buildings
in the block would undoubtedly
have resulted.

the association, as the worlds
fair and many other attractions
this year it was feared would
draw heavily from the chau-
tauqua attendance and possibly
create a deficiency. A ladies
building is to be erected before
another season and a number of
other improvements on the
grounds are contemplated. The
management is to be congratu-
lated on the success that has
attended the institution, and
everything points to the fact
