A REMARKABLE FIRE.
Something of Mystery Why the
Oasgs Building Did Not Burn.

The Daggs building seems to be
proof against fire for several times
within memory. the building has had
a close call and the latest instance oc-
CURED night before last. In Osterloh's
cigar store. when the place was opened
yesterday morning, the man who OPEN
ed the door was surprised and alarmed
to find a three foot hole burned in
the floor and a portion of the parti-
tion between two OF the rooms burned
out. There was no fire however. and
everything was cool. He closed up at
10 o'clock the night before and there
was no sign of fire at that hour He
was therefore unable to account for
the remarkable occurrence. Investiga-
ton developed. however. that it is a
habit of the management to fill Il
tobacco box with fine tobacco dust
that can not be used and the box thus
arranged is used as a cuspidor II
seems probable that a little before the
store was closed, some one had thrown
lighted cigar stub in the box and
the fine tobacco was ignited. finally
burning its way through the box AMI
lighting the floor and partition. The
mystery lies in whatever made the fire
stop after IL gained such good head
way. No one knew anything about the
circumstance until the place was open
cd yesterday though since then several
different parties nave remarked that
they thought they smelled smoke the
night before.

strong one and offers variety. There

TEMPE
UTTERLY FALSE.
The Ruror that There is Diphtheria in
or Around Tempe.

Some evil minded person or persons
with little regard for the truth and GER
tainly not having the best interests %
Tempe at heart, has circulated the re-
port that this place is the hotbed of
diphtheria. The Mesa Free Press and
the Phoenix Gazette have added their
mite to the erroneous report and by
one means and another many outsid-
crs are laboring under the false i'm
preston that it is not safe TO visit
Tempe. So public has this absolutely
false report become that Health Off
Ger Hughes of Phoenix. came here Fri
day with the avowed intention Of clos
ing the normal and quarantining the
town against Phoenix. DR. Hughes was
quite worked up about the matter and
for his special benefit a meeting of the
CITY council was called for Friday eve
ming and the physicians of the town
invited to attend and give their Opin-
ion Of the matter. During the few
hours that DR.. Hughes spent here, he
saw that the report was nothing but
false rumor and before the meeting was
called TO order he returned home. The
meeting was held. however. and the
question thoroughly discussed by the
members of the council and DR.. b. b.
Moeur. who was also in attendance.
1t developed that there is no cause
for alarm over the existing conditions
nor has there been at any time. There
have been two cases of diphtheria hera
within the last few weeks. and from
all indications. these. at least one of
them. was contracted in Phoenix. Both
cases were given every possible care.
and the strictest precautions were TAX
en- to prevent a spread of the disease.
That these precautions were successful
in their purpose. is evidenced by the
fast that not a single case has since
developed. Every rumor. therefore.
that has been circulated as to the dan
gerous conditions that prevail here, Is
absolutely without foundation and an
utter falsehood. for not a case OF this
disease now exists in Tempe or the
surrounding country.
Measels there are here and plenty OF
them, but none of the cases are Of a
serious nature and any town is sub
ject to an epidemic OF this nature. As
regards the closing of the schools. this
was not done on account of any fear
of diphtheria or measles but simply
because the condition of the weather
and the consequent small attendance
did not warrant a continuance of
school under the circumstances.

Johnny Cochran. Now he is positive

Boise Needs More Water.

Any one who will take walk

the need of water. Lawns generally
show the effect of skimping A large
majority look dry and brown spots
appear all over them. They are not
luxuriant az has always been the rule
in Boise. IT Is q sad and depressing
condition.
This has been forced on the city by
the policy of the water company in
refusing to permit people to have
water at the flat rate provided by the
water commission, and 1t will be con-
tinued indefinitely through the insane
action of the council in declining to
grant the franchise for piping water
from the Perrault ditch.
Had that franchise been granted
promptly, water from the new system
would have been available before the
close of the present season, while the
entire city could have been supplied
next year. Now we cannot have 1t at
ALL and this parched condition must
continue indefinitely. People will be-
come discouraged in the effort to
maintain lawns, and the appearance
If the city will be sadly marred.
The former city administration en-
couraged the parking system. 1t is
now noticeable that the parking is
getting brown in many places, and
there is certainly no encouragement
for others to put in such improve
ments.-Boise Statesman.

Eyes injured by Blast.

tai In precarious condition, with
chances that he may lose his eyesight.
Antoine was tamping in hole

failed to go off, though details are
lacking, when suddenly there was an
explosion and he was hurled several
feet away.
He was brought to town and taken
to the hospital and DR.. Nourse called.
1t was found that his hands were
badly lacerated and there were many
wounds in his head and face. The
worst injuries sustained are in the
eyes and it is not possible, now nor
will 1t be for several days, to say
whether or not he will be made blind
by the powder burns he sustained. -

1t is quite probable that La Grande
