QUEER FIRE.

Leeds News: Monday morning when
Attorney Buttz entered his office he
met sight that was considerable of ain
astonisher to him. ~ - ~. c,s41. &
His desk was covered with the ashes
Of papers that were burned sometime
during the night. The flames had
spread so that the paper On the wall
was burned, the front Of his desk was
charred and several other places were
badly scorched. The cushion and the
cane seat of his chair appeared intact,
but when Buttz undertook to move the
chair the cushion and bottom fell to the
floor in heap of ashes. There was no
fire nor smoke in the room.
The only explanation that can be giv-
en- for the cause of the fire is that when
Mr. Buttz blew out his light Sunday
evening, he blew down the chimney and
Immediately left the room. Some fire
must have remained in the burner, and
the lamp exploded, as there was a large
hole in the side of the bowl of the lamp
1t can be considered a miracle that
the whole block was not burned down,
and what caused the fire to go out of
its own accord is mystery. ".>

THE VULGAR HERD 4

St. Louis Globe Democrat: Those
vulgar persons who 60 to the theaters
on street cars have been properly re-
buked by a lady who complains of. their
unseemiy haste in quitting their seats
toward the end Of the last act in or der
TO rush to the cars. The nice people,
who come in carriages, according to
this superior lady, can be more leisure
~ in fling out. We are glad to see
these hasty ones rebuked, but we trem-
BILE for the tlieaters lest in their hu-
initiation they refrain from coming to
the shows hereafter. AS they COM
prise about 90 per cent Of the audiences
it would be rather hard on the theaters
though, of course, the people remain
ing the carriage e-coniers would form
an audience as select as small.

the books, papers. records. books of ac--

the neWSoficers of the company are un--
able to- make an investigation Of the
conduct Of the former officials while
holding the offices of treasurer and sec
retary. Al demand was made on both Of
i them for an accounting and for the
books. The company was organized in
1903, and it is claimed that the profits
Of the first years business amounted to-
S.. 900 and that the last year before the
change of officials 275 cars Of grain,
more or less, were handled. The only
dividend declared amounted to 10 per
cent. The stockholders intimate that
the books will disclose much larger
profit, hence the suit for an accounting.
The case will be tried at the next term
of the district court in Nelson county.

Washington. March 12.-The plan
Of the general staff Of the army to
abandon Fort Davis, the military post
established in 1900 near Nome river,
Alaska, will not be carried out at pres
emit. Secretary Taft has interviewed in
the matter by instructing Lieut.. Gen.
Bates to take no action in the matter
without first consulting him. This
means that the post will be continued
indefinitely, for the secretary believes
it is unnecessary, if not unwise, to
remove the military garrison at pres
ent.
Fort Davis was established at time
when upwards Of 30, GEO people we're
in Nome or the immediate vicinity.
and when the conditions in the coun-
try were extremely unsettled. The
general staff has recently taken the
view that, since the region Is quiet
and law-abiding, and since the ex-
pense Of maintaining the post is larger
than In other parts Of Alaska, Fort
Davis should be abandoned.
