Fire destroyed the Masonic block at
Ellsworth, Thursday. and threatened
other business buildings. With the
thermometer Al % below gro, it was
hard fire to fight. The basement and
street floor of the Masonic building was
occupied by the plant of the Hancock
County Democrat. while the second and
third floors were retained for the use of
Ligonia Lodge of Free Masons. 1t is
supposed that defective insulation OF
electric light wires in the basement of
the building started the blaze The Ma
sonic building was valued at $4,000,
and the loss on the newspaper plant is
estimated at $1,000 more. The hard
ware of Morrison, Joy & Company was
damaged slightly. All the records cor
tanned in the Masonic lodge rooms were

DOCTORS MISTAKES

their family physicians, suffering, as they

and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-golng or over

To Meet September IS,
in Chicago.

Despite the fact that there has been
some comment among officials Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission TO
the effect that the report drafted by
Attorneys Kellogg and Severance on
the Union Pacific-Harriman investiga-
ton is not so vigorous in some parts as
might be desired. there is no doubt that
the commissions final recommendations
will be IN effect the same that are out
lined by the lawyers In their draft.
This investigation was started under
orders direct from the White House.
There had been presented to the Presi-
dent various representations about rail-
road conditions in Hartman territory.
and he decided that a thorough inquiry
should be made. He ordered the com
mission to take the task and it did so.
Since that time the relations OF the
President and Mr. Hartman have de-
veloped in a fashion that does not now
need discussion. An official Of the COM
mission, discussing the lawyers draft
observed that OF course 1T would not
be finally adopted until it should be

seminated in the milk supply.
