RAIN QUENCHEs FOREST FIRES
All Danger Now 7assed-Losses Said
to Be Greatly Exaggerated.

All Danger Now Passed-Losses Said
to Be Greatly Exaggerated.
Marinette, Wis, May 23.-All dan
ger from forest fires is past. 1T rained
yesterday morning and the wind has
died out. The loss everywhere is be-
lieved to have been exaggerated.
The |. Stephenson Company OF
Wells, Mich, was the heaviest loser
and it's losses will not be more than
$4,000. Most of the buildings de-
stroyed were of frame construction.
The saw mills destroyed were all
small ones. worth not more than from
$4,000 to $4,000. The total loss in
the burned area will not be more
than 100000.
The number of settlers burned out
has also been greatly exaggerated.
Some papers have placed the number
as high as 1000. Considering the way
in which the northern country is set
tied it is certain that not 500 have
been burned out, and it is probable
that the actual number who lost their
homes is not more than 200, and it
may not reach this amount.
The most damage is at Quinnesec,
Mich, a large town, which was de-
stroyed, but the fire there was not due
to forest fire, but to bonfire in the
rear of a livery stable. There are no
woods around Quinnesec.

Alarming Reports Verified

The strip burned along the Esca-
naba & Lake Superior road appears to
be thirty miles wide and the alarming
nature of the earlier reports of the
fire seem to be thoroughly verified by
the trip. Stories of heroic battles
against the flames are numerous. Doz-
ems of towns were saved only by the
most desperate battle with the flames.
Three Times Threatened.
Northland, a town of 1000 inhab-
itants, was three time threatened. The
fire was checked each time at a dis
tance of only ten yards from the
houses on the outskirts. First the fire
swept toward the place from the
north, but was checked when two res
licences were scorched. Wagons with
barrels of water prevented The catch
ing of the fire. Driven away, the fire
swept west and then returned from
that direction and again was stopped.
A third time the fire spread into a
great tract of timber south Of town
which reaches up to the doors of the
houses in that part of Northland. and
third time gas checked.
Carries Corpse of Baby.
One man who carried the coffin
with the corpse of his dead baby thirty
miles to Escanaba in his escape from
the fire, went back on the special
train and found his home gone but the
picket fence surrounding the house
was untouched. The ashes of his home
had been blown away by the gale, and
the fence was the only evidence of
human habitation. The rest Of the
town had been swept away.
Are Not Disheartened.
4 remarkable feature of the fire is
the. fact that nearly all the refugees
are not disheartened, but are deter
mined to return and begin over. They
have only the clothes they wear, but
say this is the fortune of the frontiers
man, and that if their homes are lost,
at least the fire has cleared the land
for them and this much labor is saved.
Suffers Heavy Loss.
Menominee, Mich, May %. - The
town of Soperton, Mich, owned by the
Bay Shore Lumber company, suffered
a heavy loss from the forest fires. All
communication was cut off from the
place until yesterday. The loss in
Guided a number buildings and large
amount of logs. The Bay Shore COM
pany lost 100000 feet of logs, valued
at $4,000. For a time Soperton and
Wabeno people we're cut off. All that
saved the towns and people from COM
plete humiliation was shifting of
the wind. Wabeno's loss was not as
serious at Soperton's.

AMERICAN CONSUL is SHOT
UNITED STATES REPRESENTA-.
TIVE AT BATUM is SHOT
FROM AMBUSH.

Batoum, May 23-W H. Stuart, the
American vice consul, was shot and
killed in his country place last night.
The assassin escaped. Mr. Stuart was
a British subject and one of the larg-
est ship brokers and exporters of Ba-
tOum. During the revolutionary
troubles of last fall his life was many
times threatened by longshoremen,
and at Christmas deputation visited
Mr.. Stuarts Office and practically COM

Shot From Ambush.
Mr. Stuart, having dined at the
house of friend, was returning to
his country place at Manziadjani, five
miles from Batum. He was fired on
twice from a clump of trees half a
mile from his home, one bullet pierc-
ing leg and another his breast. Mr..
Stearne, the British vice consul at
Novo Rossiisk, who was a guest at
Mr.. Stuart's house, heard the shooting
and hurried out with the servants and
found Mr.. Stuart lying on the ground
bleeding from his wounds. He was
still conscious, but said he would not
be able to recognize his assassin ow-
ing to- the darkness.
Generally Respected.
Mr.. Stuart was conveyed to mill
tary barracks in the vicinity where he
expired two hours later. The body
was transported yesterday morning to
the consulate at Batum.
Aside from the troubles during the
revolutionary disturbances last fall,
Mr.. Stuart had had no friction with
the native population. He was SO gen
orally respected that he was on sew
eral occasions called upon to act as
intermediary during the racial war be-
tween the Tartars and the Armenians,
saving the lives Of several of the lat
ter.
The police have no trace of the
murderers.

WISCONSIN ALSO SUFFERS.
TWO Villages Wiped Out and Many
Nav Have Met Death.

May Have Met Death.
Marinette, Wis, May 20.-The best
information obtainable at this hour is
that the forest fire which is sweeping
the country north of here has reached
Iron county, north of Dickinson. This
Doakes four counties which are suffer
ing from fire. The area is 200 square
miles.
The country swept by the flames
varies from pine timber land to bar
rens. Part is iron mining country
and the district includes tracts of
hardwood which have never been
touched by the woodsman's ak. In
the barrens settlers have taken up
their residence, and it is for these
that the greatest anxiety is felt.
TWO Villages Wiped Out.
Information received at Marinette
is that the village of Shaffer, on the
Metropolitan branch of the North
Western railway in Dickinson county,
was wiped out. No word could be re-
ceived as to the loss of life there, if
any.
The village of Saunders, in Iron
county, a lumber town directly north
of Florence, has also been swept by
the flames. Here, as at Shaffer, many
may have met death. The town con-
sists of a few residences, four sa-
looms, a couple of hotels and a big
sawmill.

The woods north of the town are
burning fiercely. The loss is partly

The Plain Way,

A great many of the country mer-
chants put up great talk about the
mail order houses in the cities which
are getting their trade away from
them, but with all this cutlery they are
doing nothing to prevent it. You
can't prevent people from buying
where they can buy the cheapest sim
ply by use of invective. The only way
country merchants can expect to COM
pete with mail order houses is by
meeting them on their ground-by
There is absolutely no
hope for the village merchant until
he corrects few of his time worn
views about advertising. Advertising
is simply telling what you have to
sell and the price. The argument that
you have been in business long time
and the people know does not suffice.
The people care very little about you
personally, but it is your goods and
the price at which you sell them
