Montour, July 25.-Fire which start-
ed in the Steward restaurant about
noon today destroyed about one third
Of the business houses on Main street
and caused loss of probably $4,000
all told. For time 1t looked as il the
whole town would be burned but hes
roic work of the firemen and citizens
together with help from Toledo and
Tama succeeded in staying the flames
at the First National Bank building.
which was badly damaged.
It Is supposed the fire started from
the explosion of gasoline stove in the
restaurant run by James Steward. The.
blaze was discovered shortly after
noon and burned 50 f1ercely that not
any of the goods in Stewards store
was saved. He lived in the same;
building and all his household effects
were destroyed. From here the fire
jumped to the east end Of town, de-s
stroying the following buildings: !. G.
Millard's old store, in which was stor-l
ed flour, feed, ETC., part Of which was
saved. H. J. Avery's meat market.
Store building occupied by E. u.
Gould, as repair shop. Two vacant
store buildings owned by man mans
ed Ruggles. Mrs. Clara Talifare's mills
linery store and all her stock.
When it was seen the local depart
ment would be unable to cope with
the flames owing to a lack Of apparas'
tus, help was asked from Tama, Toledo
and Marshalltown. A special train
was sent up from Tama With help
from both Tama and Toledo tl1s
fire was soon under CONTROL The Firss
National bank building was on fire
several times and the roof was so bad
ly burned that part of it fell in. Had
this building burned it is probable the
balance Of the buildings on Main street
would have gone. Steward is the
heaviest loser, his loss being between
$4,000 and $4,000. None Of the build-s
ings carried much insurance.

Inventor Has Material Which is Less
Expensive and Better.
Washington, July 25.-The discovery
by Gablonz experimenter of cheap
and complete s>Sstitute for celluloid,
which is not yet patented, has been
reported by Consul Mcfarland from
Reichenberg. The new invention over
comes all the shortcomings, altho re-
tanning all the desirable qualities of
celluloid. It is but little dearer than
glass.
The new material is very elastic.
absolutely noninfiammable and very
easy to work by the turner. By .
simple method lasting polish can be
put on articles made from it, which
is a great advantage over celluloid.
THE material is without odor, is a
nonconductor of electricity, and can be
used for insulation. The invention
promises to be of great Importance
in the whole celluloid industry. Pat
ents have been applied for.

Kansas City, July 25.-The defense
In the ice hearing yesterday succeeded
in discrediting the testimony of Ped-
dler o. B. Shaw; who testified Monday
that he knew that an ice combine ex-

made and controlled the wholesale ana.
retail prices of ice. He was subjected
to severe cross examination, which
developed that he knew nothing what-
ever upon which to base his declara-

Other peddlers testified that all the
ice companies advanced the price Of ice
simultaneously here, and all but one
said they bought ice from the plants to
which they were directed by the man-
ager Of the Peoples Ice, Storage and
Fuel Company.

EXCEPTIONS FILED BY PACKERS.
Federal Court at Kansas City Claimed
TO Lack Jurisdiction.

st. Louis, July 25.-Transcripts and
bills Of exceptions were filed yester-
day in the United States circuit court
of appeals by the Armour Packing
company, Swift & Co., Morris & Co.
and the Cudahy Packing company,
which were convicted in the United
States district court at Kansas City
on charges of accepting rebates. 1t is
contended that the court at Kansas
City had no jurisdiction, as the indict-
ment failed to show that the alleged
offense was committed within its dis
trict; that the criminal provisions of
the interstate commerce law do not ap-
ply to export shipments to a foreign
port, and that the indictments fail to
state sufficient facts to constitute an
offense.

Earnings to Home Banks.

dollars in American gold is being
boarded annually in the banks of Italy
by temporary italian residents Of the
United States. This is the news that
has just reached the government along
with a statement from the general
commissioner of immigration at Rome
that the total immigration to the states
from Italy in the year 1906 approach
ed the 100000 mark.
The idea of most italian emigrants,
says the immigration commissioner, is
to accumulate something like a for
tune in the states and return with it
to Italy. The intimacy of the home
connection is shown by the exhibit of
the Bank of Naples. which, having ad
vertised that sort of business as it's

Slaughter OF Reptiles.
Washington, July 25.--The American
alligator is likely to go the way of the
American buffalo, and alligator hides
may become as rare az eggs of the
great aux, according to report just
issued by the department of commerce
and labor. The consumption of alli-
gator skins is greater now than ever
before, approximately 2sO,O0O hides an
nually. The quantity Of alligators has
been decreased in all of the southern
states, and it is declared to be only a
question of few years when it will
be impossible to obtain the hides at a
price that will warrant their employ
ment in the manufacture, of leather. It
is estimated that the number of alli-
gators in Louisiana is at least 80 per
cent less than twenty years ago.
