BIG RINK
DAMAGED
BY FIRE
Auditorium Envdoped in FIomes
Thursday Night--Loss $1,000 Fnl,y
Covered by Insurance.

The Auditorium rink, of this citv
caught fire last night, and had II NOT
been for the prompt and efficient
work of the fire department the
handsome place of amusement woull
probably now be smouldering ruin
The alarm was turned in at 1:15 this
morning by Miss Daisy Denisen. who
was spending the night with Mis-.
Emma Lally, at her residence near
the rink. The bright light and call
of fire by some one on the street
awakened Miss Denisen. who imme.
diately summoned the fire depart.

The company responded PROMPTLY
and forced an entrance through IN,
front door. They found that the en-.
tire length of the building was o
mass Of flames, the canvas roof hay.
ing burned, and the fire rapid,y
gaining a hold on the woodwork, No
time was lost in getting streams Of
water into the building, which soon
extinguished the blaze.
The fire probably started from d
lighted cigar, which was thrown
down in the dressing room at the
southwest corner of the structure by
some skater early In tho evening. a.
the odor OF burning wood was detcc.
ed before closing the building after
the masquerade last night. Beinl
unable to locate the somrce OF tho
fumes, the managers locked the
building in the usual manner, and
left for their homes.
There is a large hole burned
through the west wall, whore the f7C
first caught, and tho roof Is charret
slightly, but not damaged to any
great extent, as the shingles an1
paper roofing are protected by Q
|sheeting OF inch boards, which lin,
the interior OF the structure.
The $500 organ is said to be al
most a total lost, and the skating
floor is damaged considerably by be
ing charred in places and warped BY
the heat. A number OF band instru
ments were In the music aleove, but
were not damaged.
Messrs. Meyers and Albert, II
speaking 10 a Journal reported thiI
morning, said: I'VE cannot say al
present what the damage will aggre
gate, but II will probably be in th'
neighborhood OF $4,000. There arr
many places In the maple floor whici
have been charred, and can only b'
fixed by removing the entire board
and Supplying new lumber. This vii
be no easy task, as all the hoor v
tongued and grooved. and after tn
boards are placed in position VII
have to be dressed down TO eliminat
all roughness. II will cost at lea'
$3.50 TO dress the floor. The build
ing will require that the wiring D.
gone over, which will be no small
expense in ITSELF"
The loss is fully covered by insur
ance In the oregon Fire RELIEF In
surance Company OF McMinnvii'
S. A. Riggs, the agent of the eompa
| ny, will adjust the loss today an
all damage will be repaired immed'
lately.
The management say that enous
of the floor can probably be place
in condition by Saturday evening
accommodate the skaters and mex
week the rink will be running as u
ual.

THE BOOM IN JAPAN.
Tremendous Commercial Impetus Given
by the Late War.

In the course of a remarkable article in
Appeton's Magazine FOR June, Thomas
+. Willard tells some strange truths
about Japan. incidentally he says:
The tremendous impulse !riven to COM
mercial and industrial activities In ia
pan since the war has attracted much at
tention, and been the cause of much COM
ment, usually optimistic. Since peace
was declared taking the latest official
statement there have been 314 new en-
terprises capitalized or old capitaliza-
tons increased, with an aggregate capt.
tai of S197, ISL ,514 gold. This is nearly
one third the total capitalized industry
of the country previous to the war. The
enterprises represented in this enormous
ca pita liZation cover a wide field, but they
nearly all belong in the category of what
may be termed modern industries, in the
sense applied in Japan. For instance,
there are tifty-one new electrical COM
panies with an aggregate capital OF $55,-
100000 gold; ten new navigation and
dock companies, with total capital OF
$4,000 900; 5 new insurance companies,
with total capital of $7,50O,O0O. New
banking concerns aggregate capital OF
&11 100000 There are eleven new steam
railway companies, with $10,OOO,OOO cap
ital; fourteen new mining companies,
with $6.50O,00O capital; while old cOrpo-
rations have increased their capital $34,-
UUO,UUU. 10 many Oh lllem ulreCL govern
ment assistance is being given, while
nearly all of them have had or hope to
secure stimulation through the govern
ment by indirect methods.
This enumeration of the new CONNER
cial activities of the nation does not how
ever, include the greatest enterprise of
ALL This is the national corporation,
with proposed capital of $10O,0O0,000
gold, for the purpose of pushing Japa-
nese commerce and interests in Korea
and Manchuria. This great company, in
so far as its components have become
public, is to include the government,
with all the associated interests it can
marshal and is to be thrown open to
popular subscription, with a view to in
ducing the common people and middle
classes to invest, thus enlisting their
sympathy and >--rect pecuniary interest
in the success of the scheme"

partment of the Interloi

Where surgeons certificate of disability
states that disability, alleged existed prior
to- or at enlistment, ii shall be accepted as
esta blishng the fact, unless fraud, or mis-
take be apparent on the face of the certiti-
cate itself
Line of Duty--A soldier voluntarily absent
from his company is out OF the line of duty

casualties befall him not legitimately con
nected with the military service.
Pathological Sequence-A declaration set

quences of such disease or injury.

the claim should be admitted.

DCGAN TRIAL IS BEGUN
SYMPATHY IS WITH WOMAN IN
GAINESVILLE CASE.
Defense Will Attempt. to Show That
Miss Dugsn Was Temporarily In
sane When She Shot Shoemaker.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Aug. 5.--[Spe-
ciak THE trial of Florence Dugan. on
the charge of shooting George Shu-
maker with intent to kill, was called in
the municipal court this morning. The
shooting occurred last April and was the
result of an alleged betrayal of the
woman by the man she shot. 1t is
believed the defense will show she was
temporarily insane, when she fired the
shot.
The afternoon previous to the shoot
ing she had been in the district attor-
neys office to have Shumaker arrested
for living with another woman, claiming
she had been married to him in Rock
ford months before. While the district
attorney was writing to the district at
torney of Jefferson county. asking him
to investigate the case, the woman Dor
rOwed q revolver. Upon learning Shu-
maker was i'll town, and finding him with
the woman he was to marry, she shot
him twice in the back and would have
put third bullet into his body had not
officers seized her.
Shumaker was at the point of death
for weeks, but is now slowly recovering
and will probably be at the trial as Il
witness. Prominent business men have
raised purse for her defense. Public
sentiment is with the unfortunate wom-
an and while she has been n prisoner at
the jail many women in the city have
sent her magazines and sewing and she
has been practically given the freedom
of the jail.
Miss Dugan waived examination and
her bail was fixed at $4,000. On motion
of Attorney Nolan, her lawyer, it was
reduced to $500 and that sum Will prob
ably be raised during the day.
The date of her trial was fixed for
