AT l2:2o o'clock today y second fire
within ~ hours occurred at the furni-

First South street. The first blaze
was al O'clock Yesterday afternoon
and was caused by defective wiring in
the attic Today's fire was from the
same cause and was in practically the

day afternoon amounted to about
$500, The loss from todays fire, and
water, VIII not be less than $4,000,
1t Is estimated
Before the blaze was discovered,
ana before the fire apparatus could
reach the scene. it had gained 4 good
start in the attic where a quantity Of
fuTmlture and leather beds We're stoT-

tho 1iralnen had a hard time In get
ting at the fire, Two lines OF hose
were taken up the front of the build
ing while the third was hoisted up
the rear fire escape. II was necessary
TO use the big hose and thoroughly
soak the roof and attic. Although
the firemen and employees of the store
worked energe5ically with broonls and
buckets, thousands of gallons of water
poured from the attic to the floors
below, soaking valuable upholstered
furniture and other goods The feath-

pieces by the water and feathers scat

The damage was confined to the main
building and no fire or water got into
the rooms on the east. a great deal
OF furniture was moved from the main
building before the water began TO soak
through the floors. llnemen from the
Light company assisted the tiremen and
cut the wires which caused the damage.

An employee OF the store stated 10 the
News that he was In the attic Just
a few moments before the blaze was
discovered He said that AZ that time
he observed no indications of fire, but
IL lis believed that yesterday afternoon
fire was not completely eStlnguished
and that SPARKS had been smouiderlng
since that time.
The fire created considerable excite
ment and a large crowd gathered In
front OF the building An effort was
made TO learn the exact loss, but IL
could not be determined at this time
The building and contents are fully

the State Board Of Education.
At the close Of each normal exami-
nations were held and the State Board
of Education is now engaged in grad
ing the papers Of applicants for Il
cense to teach. This work will last Il
week or more, after which results
will be announced. At each normal
there was a goodly number of appli-
cants for professional license.
Superintendent J. N. Powers has
completed arrangements for the SUM
mer Institutes to be held in the va
rious counties and competent conduc-
tors and instructors have been employ
ed for this important work.
