Narrow Escape Of Ore Family
on Guenther Hill.
CAUSE OF FIRE is UNKNOWN
Loss on Building ard centetts Com.
pIete Family Barely Have Time
TO Saw. Their Clothing.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Fire early this morning wiped cut the
store building on Guenther hill, conduct
ed by Mrs. John Ore, together with all
of the contents of the store and of the
living apartments. 1t was about three
o'clock when the fire was discovered
but what started it is a mystery unless
it was caused by rats knawing some
matches. A still alarm was sent to the
central station firemen. but although
they responded promptly they could do
nothing to save the building, for there is
no fire projection on the HILL They
succeeded i'll saving the adjoining dwell
ing, occupied by Chris Yenter, and this
building was barely scorched.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ore and their four chill
apartments on the second floor They
were able to take out with them only
such clothing as they could catch up,
and this was barely enough to clothe
themselves Their loss is complete, for
they owned the stock of groceries in the
store. They were insured for 5000, but
their loss will probably double that
amount.
The building was owned by the Pat
terson Mercantile company, which is
fully protected by insurance. 1t was
rather large building, located at the
corner of Madison avenue and Swiss
street. The main portion of the building
was one and half stories high, and
brick veneered A one story frame
leanto, formerly known as Schroeder's
hall, of late had been used as feed
store.
Among the loss sustained by Mr.. and
Mrs. Ore was $40 in cash. which they
kept under the pillow of their bed. That
they lost this shows how close call
the family had.

Pastors Of City are Leagued Together
For a New Deal.
ROyNSEvILLE is THE CANDIDATE.
Will Be Opposed BY n. Sporting, Who
Was Formerly Nlcoliet Hotel
Proprietor.

st. Peter, March l4.-Rigid enforce
ment of the state law as applied to the
retail liquor traffic is to be the issue in
one of the most exciting municipal cam
paigns ST. Peter has known in decade.
Led by the pastors of the local churches,
the temperance forces of the city have
begun an active crusade, and they pro-
pose to shut the Gid" down tight.
Opposition to the saloons has been
growing for months, and the movement
has resulted in the organization of tie
Citizens league of st. Peter. The Off
GERS are: Rev. Peter Carey, rector of
st. Peters Catholic church, president;
Rev. P. A. Mattson, president of Gus
tavus AdoIphus collge, vice president REV
LO.Nothstein, pastor of the English Luth-
eran church, secretary, and NJ. Christof-
ferson, treasurer.
At the request of the league, w. h.
Housewife, president of the st. Peter
Furniture company, and one of the most
successful business men in the city, has
consented to run for mayor and has fl
ed his petition. Restriction of the sa-
looms will be the most important plank
in his platform, and he viii have the
solid support of the Citizens league
which proposes to conduct an organized
campaign and engage outside speakers
to assist in the work.
The leagues candidate is to be oppOs-
ed at the polls by H. Sporting. former
proprietor of the Hotel Nicoflet, and
himself prosperous business man. Mr..
Sporting promises the voters that he will
inaugurate several needed reforms.
