FIRE LOSS.

An explosion of gas in the store of
Neuling Il Bayer Wednesday morning
caused fire which ruined a consider
able amount of goods and caused
several hundred dollars worth of
damage The prompt use of the
chemical apparatus by the firemen,
however, saved the proprietors from
suffering great loss.
Emil Lemke, one of the clerks in the
store, that morning detected smell of
escaping gas near the front window.
A gas pipe enters the building near the
window and was enclosed in box-like
platform, which is used as a stand to
display goods in the window. He
opened small door leading into this
box and lighted match for the pur-
pose of tracing the leak. The enclos-
ure was filled with gas and as soon as
the flames of the match was thrust into
it, an explosion followed Mr. Lemke
was knocked over, his face badly
burned and his hair and eyebrows
singed. He was at once taken to a
physician for treatment and though his
burns are not so severe as to disfigure
him, he may be laid up for several
weeks. The flame of gas shot up into
Overhanging draperies and loose goods
and ignited them. The fire then
spread along the shelving and worked
its way to the rear of the store.
When the fire department arrived,
two chemical tanks were brought into
play and the fire was soon under con-
troll. Lines of hose were laid in readi-
ness if needed, but it was not neces-
sary to use them. The store was filled
with smoke and from outside view it
appeared as if bad fire was in prog
ress.
The store was then closed up
awaiting the taking of an inventory of
stock and settlement with the insur-
ance adjusters but has since been re-
opened.

lNExHAUSTIBLE RESOURCES,

In speaking of Wisconsin's water
powers the Milwaukee Daily News
says: The time is not far distant when
the water powers of Wisconsin will
make the state the greatest manufae-
turing state in the west. They are a
natural resource that will never be ex-
hausted. The iron mines aud the coal
mines viii play out, the forest will be
deeimated, but the water powers of

Deafness Cannon he Cnred

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deaf1 ssS is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
EGstaehian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness Is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
