BUILDINGS BURNED DOWN
BLAZE EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING AT o. T. WARE FARM.
Fire Discovered About $50 o'clock by
Hired Girl-Several Valuable Ami
mails Perished in the Barn-Loss
Amounts TO $1,000

Fire was discovered in the barn of
the o, Il, Ware farm about two miles
north of this village at $50 "Wednesday
morning and before o'clock all the
buildings ON the farm were reduced to
heap Of smoking embers. The hre
destroyed large amount of property,
the damage being estimated at $1,000.
An insurance of 50, 100 on the buildings
/ and $4,000 on the personal property
covers in part the loss.
j. $. Gallup, who has owned the farm
/ for the past year, after doing the morn
/ ing milking started to deliver his milk
/ in this village. At G.30 o clock a hired
girl happened to look out of the rear
window of the house and saw that the
entire west end of the barn was IN
/ rlames. Quickly telling Mrs. Gallup OF
/ the fact she started TO the barn TO res
cue several head OF cattle that were
confined within. Mrs. Gallup telephoned
i TO several neighbors and to this village,
and then rushed TO the barn to assist
/ in saving the stock. All were got
safely out but three.year-old regis
4 tered Durham bull, two registered Dur
i ham calves and a horse. Efforts were
made TO save these but the fire stopped
the rcscuers aud the animals perished
4 in the flames. The barn which was
/ DESTROYED was very large one, 90 by
/ so feet, and contained in addition to
! 100 tons of excellent English hay all
4 the farm tools consisting of moving
machines, pows. harrows, horse rake,
tedder. and in fact every one OF the
tools used on farm. Not single one
was saved. The barn was very dry
and il was but short time before the
roof and sides had fallen in. Mean
4 time the house, large two-story struc'
ure of 10 rooms, had caught and was
burning fercely. Many neighbors
gathered to help in saving the turnl.
ture, nearly all Of which was carried
out before the fire reached IT. Ihere
were no ways by which the fire could
be stopped and it kept ON until not, a
stick Of the buildings remained. Late
in the afternoon parts were stlli burn
ing. The fire was spectacular in the
extreme rs the buildings were situated
on the summit of a high hill and could
lie seen for miles around. An idea oi
the intense heat may be gained from
the fact that apples on trees back OF
the house were baked on the side to-
ward the fire. Several fruit tree:
standing back Of the house were burned
of and fell TO IL siJund.
Mr.. Gallup did not hear of the irt
until nearly two hours after II was dls
covered. When word was brought tC
him he Immediately started home ant
several of his milk customers went
without their morning milk.
Mr.. Gallup bought the farm about
wear ago and moved there with ms
!. wife. He had just finished harvesting
his first crops and had all his machin
cry stored for the winter. His los
will be heavy one. He has moved
his herd of is cows to the barn OF
/ William Tanning and will continue hi
milk business as before until he eithe
rebuilds or gets another farm on whicl
to keep his stock.

night trains, the northbound 2.23 ana

the Opera House tuesday Afternoon.

Prof. Bliss announces that he has
concluded arrangements with the

to deliver talk on "How to Study
Shakespeare" for the benefit of the
high-school students and any
others who might be interested in
the works of this great writer, at the
opera house on Tuesday afternoon

recognized as the leading Canadian
authority on Shakespeare and his
relation with the drama, and his
talks have been greatly in demand
and appreciated in cities where
they have played. Mr.. Nelson is
master of his subject, Shakespeare
is his favorite study and he is emin-
emily fitted by study, experience
and travel to give an interesting
and instructive talk on this theme.
There will be no charge of any kind
and a most cordial invitation is ex
tended to everybody who enjoys
the works of the master of dramatic
literature.

AN ELABORATE PRODUCTION.
vii! Be Seen Here When Mr.. Harold
Nelson Presents ''Pcince Otto."

.Mr: Harold Nelson, who inaugur-
ated his third consecutive season
under the management of (. P.
Walker at the Winnipeg Theatre on
Labor Day, will soon be seen at the
Virginia Opera House, Monday,
January Goth in his latest success,
Prince Otto. This is another of
those romantic plays so pleasing to
the public when properly acted
and produced. It is a dramatiza-
tion of Stevenson's novel of the
same name, and was played with
great success:in New York, Chica-
go, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis,
and all the other big cities of the
United States season or so ago by
it's gifted actor uthor, Otis Skinner.
Therefore it is not untried material.
Its dramatic qualities have been
fully tested and not found wanting.
In presenting this charming
drama Mr.. Walker believes he is af-
fording Mr.. Nelson adequate oppor-
tunity to sustain his splendid repu-
tation as an actor. The Character
of the~Prince is admira bly, suited to-
his abilities in its dash, subtlety
power and romantic style.
Mr.. Clifford Lane Bruce, so long
associated with Mr.. Nelson, will be
seen as the Prime Minister.

ROYALTY IS IS CENTS PER ron.
N. 4. Hanna & Co. Close Deal With
Piilsbury, Bennett and Lonqyear.

The highest iron mining royalty
agreement ever made on the Me
saba range has just been entered
into between NJ. A. Hanna & Co. of
Cleveland and the pillsbury, Ben
nett and Longyear syndicate which
owns land in the ore zone of the
Mesaba. The royalty is IS cents
ton, and is strongly significant of
the enhanced value of the mineral.
NJ. A. Hanna & Co. have taken
lease on the property adjoining the
Forestmine, which lies between the
Stevenson mine and Nashwauk, on
the royalty basis named. The
transaction is on straight royalty
basis with no bonus to anybody.
1t is said that the deal whereby
Jones & Laughlin Steel company
acquired control of the Leetonia
mine involves substantially a Is
cent royalty. The Pillsbury, Ben
nett and Longyear people are do
ing a great deal of exploratory
work, and the land that they have
leased to NJ. A. Hanna & Co. was
explored by them. The ore is of
good quality, and considerable ex-
ploratory work remains to be done.
A party of prominent iron and
vesselmen we're in the city yester-
day and left for the Mesaba range

Joseph Sellwood and D. NJ. Philbin.

WILL GIVE CASH DISCOUNTS.
Virginia Light & Water Co. lnaugurate
New System of Payments.

Under the management of O.
Harold Griggs, in charge of the
office work of the Virginia Light &
Water Co., that company will in
augurate new rate plan the 1st of
the coming month whereby a; cor
rect distinction will be made between
the consumer who pays promptly
and the one who conpels the CON-
pauy to buy additional stationery
in order to make his statement on
the first of several successive
months, it being proposed to give a
10 per cent discount on all bills
paid prior to the Goth of each
month. .~.~
Statements of Indebtedness will
be mailed each consumer promptly
on the 1st of each month, and dis:
count is of size which should
prove an incentive for all to be
prompt in their payments.
The company will do a consider
able amount-ef- work the coming
season and place additional ma
chinery. The furnishing of a day
circuit has also been considered,
but it's installation is improbable
the business in sight at this time
not warranting the additional ex-
pense which would be incurred.
The new steel tank, foundation for
which was laid last fall, will be
shipped from factory on February
18th, and after it's erection it will be
unnecessary to connect with the lake
in case of fire.
