BAD FIRE AT wINGER.
500 Town Visited by Devastating
Fire.

Crookston Times: Last evening
about II o'clock fire broke out in the
rear of Thompson's hardware store at
Winger and before the flames could
be checked, that store. together with
Wick Bros general store, were burn
ed to the ground, together with the
records of Town Clerk Lars Wick, not
a single thing having been saved.
In addition to the property loss, Mrs.
Gust Hanger was seriously injured in
making her escape from the second
floor of the Wick block. She. together
with her husband. reside on the sec
ond floor and the building was mass
of flames when they were awakened
by the suffocating smoke, and every
avenue of escape was cut off but
through the front window Mr.. Haul
ger jumped first and landed on the
sidewalk without serious injury Lat
er his wife jumped and he endeavored
to break the fall, but was unable to
assist her and she fell heavily, iniur-
ing her back 1t is not known yet
whether or not her injuries will be
fatal.
The alarm was soon spread broad
cast over the little village and bucket
brigade protected the balance of the
property, but there was no attempt
made to save the other two buildings,
as both were seething mass of flames
before the alarm was turned in. The
loss sustained by Wick Bros, as near
as can be learned, is about $4,000 in
surance, and the loss of Mr.. Thompson
about the same with the amount of
insurance unknown.
Winger has intended to incorporate
this spring, but the new code went
into effect before the application for
incorporation was filed. The new code
requires 200 signatures before village
can be incorporated and the petition
as filed only contained IA signatures,
consequently it will be necessary for
new petition to be filed. The fire
will probably hasten the efforts to
incorporate in order to take steps to
provide fire protection.
1t is understood that there is not a
single town record left in the office of
Vars Wick, and the postoffice supplies
which were located in the Wick store
are also completely destroyed, togeth-
er with some cash and several hun
dred dollars worth of stamps. There
was about $50 in cash in the Wick
Bros. cash drawer, and the money in
the safe has not yet been reached as
the safe cannot be opened till tomor-
row.

Remarks on the Weather.

The most popular subject Of
conversation Monday was the
weather. 1t interested every
body. A sharp change from
pleasant summer weather to a
windy cold storage sort of an
atmosphere was a gyration with
to much go about it to escape
remark, and it may have been
naughty. but some of the mas
culine portion of the community
actually used the word d--n to
explain their appreciation of the
January playfulness,
Saturday promenading was
strictly in order and lots of
people, especially tho ladies',
enjoyed the lovely weather, but
on Monday. what a difference!
Yesterday the cold was in evil
dence, but no wind, which led a
prominent citizen to remark
| without any buttress, dam l
mean, that he believed he didn't
mind the weather 80 the wind
didn't blow-an observation said
to have been observed in the
time of Noah, but which is still
being worked off as original.
The weather man at Washing
ton has promised an improve.
ment in the weather to-day and
in the hence" part of this week,
but, while he is often quite sue
cessful in hitting the tempera.
;tura and moisture conditions, he
has accumulated a reputation for
being unreliable and being a
"poor stick to lean on" as to
advice on the time to carry your
umbrella or wear your hannelS
so that you can take stock in
good weather for the next few
days with as heavy an abandon
as you would trust Henry
Rogers of Standard Oil odorous-
ness to sue Tom Lawson for
libel.
All which means we have had
some bad weather, but things
' look better, thank you.

THE OBVIOUS THING TO DO.

As will be noticed in another
column of this issue the City
Council has accepted, subject, of
course, to the approval of the
people, a proposition on the part
Of F. r. Fulton & Co.. of Chicago,
made by their representative,
o. M. Hopkins. as to the issue of
bonds to the amount of 100000,
for school building and water
and light purposes.
On the first Of March the out
standing water works bonds fall
due and must be paid or else
provision be made. to take care of
them, which would be satisfac-
tory to the holders. But equally
important with arranging for
settlement as to the bonds, is the
urgent need for the erection OF
. school building to meet the
present and nearby future needs
Of the children, and the provid-
ing for furnishing water and
light to those who in the past
have paid the water works tax
without receiving protection.
With the ordinary revenues OF
the town it is impossible to build

A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

mands, and this is especially
true of our schools. Following
the educational awakening and
as a consequent of wise direc-
ton and trained supervision the
demand for more and better
school houses has yearly become
increasingly in~sistent. This de-
mand has in a measure been
satisfied in the parish because OF
additional funds provided by a
special school tax generously
voted by the people; but as to
the town, although the demand
has grown equally apace with the
improvement in the educational
situation, nothing has been done.
However, the need of a modern
central school building has been
recognized for several years; in
fact. in 1902 a tax was voted. for
that purpose, but fell through
owing to some defect in the law
under which it was voted. Since
then the matter has rested for
various reasons, but the time has
now come, and a most OppOrtune
time, for carrying the project to
a successful. conclusion without
raising the present rate of tax
alton, and the City Council has
taken action preliminary to
placing the question OF the
erection of a modern school
building before the people at an
early date. This action was
taken Friday night when they
adopted a proposition from Mr..
O. M. Hopkins, Of Chicago. rep
resenting the holders of the out
standing water works bond. 1t
is proposed to set aside 100000
for the erection and equipment
of a school building, that sum
being estimated as the very
least which will suffice to con-
struct a building of capacity to
meet present requirements and
provide for the future. and a not
distant future, demand which
Lafayette's rapid growth points
to as a certainty.
The thorough interest of the
people in schools, the ready
carrying of the previous tax, and
the complete realization of every.
body of the need of a school
building ample for present and
prospective needs. will assure to
the Council, we believe, both
willing and jealous assistance
which will guarantee success.

A Deserted Wife's Prayer.

Mrs. Caroline Gray was summoned
to court in Jersey City. n. j.. the
other day in eviction proceedings in
stituted by her landlord.
The lawyer for the landlord showed
that the woman had paid no rent for
three months. She told the Judge
that her husband had deserted her,
that she had three little children.
that she had worked hard to earn
bread and the rent. but that she had
failed. Reluctantly the court gave
Judgment for the landlord. Then the
woman broke down and cried. %
where can go?" she walled.
Her misery and despair touched the
heart of the judge. Taking IS bill
from his pocket and putting it in his
hat. he directed the court officer to
take up collection. The hat came
back with $50.
The judge gave the money to Mrs.
Gray. who stammered out her thanks.
and handed it to the lawyer for the
landlord. Instead of taking all of it
for his client he handed her back SIS,
and a receipt for three months rent,
announcing that he himself would pay
SIG, one months rent, for her.
Then the deserted wife dropped 10
her knees in open court and prayed:
Almighty God. bless the homes OF
these men with hearts, While the man
nearest to me and my little ones has
forgotten u.s."
