FREMONT & GULF
RAILROAD OFFICES
Will be Located in WINFIELD
Soon as Suitable Buildings
Are Secured.

The fremont and Gulf Rail-
road Company will establish its
general Offices i'm Winfield.
This fact became definitely known
this week when an official of the
road came here and after looking
over the town and the roads
terminals here, left an order with
one of our hustling real estate
dealers to purchase property for
the company on which to build
residences for the officials.
Several weeks ago the fremont
and Cuffs offices at fremont
were destroyed by fire and since
that time headquarters have been
established temporarily at Eros
where the company operates a
large saw mill. The matter of
getting the headquarters estab-
lished here was taken up by the
Winfield Progressive League
with the result that the company
has decided to locate here.
1t will be several weeks before
the offices will be opened in
Winfield, the actual transfer
not to be made until the road
is completed to this place, but it
will be but a short time until
work will be commenced on suit
able buildings for the offices.
The work of laying the steel on
the fremont and gulf is progress
ing and it Is expected that not
many weeks will pass before it is
completed to Winfield.

CITY HOTEL
IS DESTROYED
Fire Early Monday Morning
Completely Destroyed That
Popular Hostelry.

The most disastrous fire that
has visited Winfield during the
past several months occurred at
$50 O'Clock Monday morning
when the City Hotel building,
together with all its contents, was
destroyed.
The origin of the fire is un-
known as the roof of the building
ms in flames when the fire was
discovered. Ii required only a
few minutes for the building to
burn 70 the ground as it was
constructed of very light material
and was papered throughout.
But little of the furnishings of
the hotel was saved from the
Ere owing to the rapid progress
Of the FIRE. Many of the guests
lost their clothing and other val
uabIes, Conductor Dixon. of the
Rock Island, losing everything
except the clothes h- had on.
The residence of Lawyer j. III.
Mathews stood back of the hotel
and it was considerably damaged
from heat and water, but was
saved from burning by the hard
est kind of work. The house
hold effects were also damaged
by rough handling while being
carried out of the house.
The First Baptist church stands
acrOss q narrow street from
where the hotel burned and it
was also damaged to some extent.
It Is understood that the damage
t0 the church and Mr.. Mathews
resIdence is covered BY insurance.
The hotel building was insured
for 46, 500 and $1,000 was carried
90 the furnishings. The total
loss will amount to between
tl2, 900 and $4,000.
The hotel was owned and con-
dacted by Mr.. j. A. Colvin. he
and his family residing there.
They lost all of their personal
belongings. Since the fire they
have secured the Belcher res
idence in the north end of town
aud are residing there until they
can decide what to do.
Mr.. CoIvin does not know as
vet whether he will rebuild
81 the same lot, but it is
probable that he will, and it Is
also probable that when he does
build il will be brick structure.
The City Hotel had q splendid
patronage and its loss seriously
crippIes the town 5 hotel facilities
. the other hostelries were al
ready taxed. The town and the
public generally hope to see the
Ulty Hotel rebuilt on . larger
conIe and It is believed Mr.. Colvln
rill decide to rebuild 1t at az
early date.

CREOSOTE FACTORY
FOR WINFIELD
Reported that fremont and
Gulf will Establish q
Plant Here.


1t is reported, upon what seems
to be reliable authority, that as
soon as the fremont and Gulf
Railroad is completed to this
place. which will be within the
next few weeks. the company will
establish q creosoting plant here,
for the purpose of creosoting the
timbers used in building and
repairing the company's road as
we'll as doing such work for other
roads.
Such a plant will furnish en-
ployment to many people and
will, therefore, be q valuable en-
terprise for the town. There are
but two or three such plants In
this State and with the great
amount of railroad building going
on IN this State one located In
Winfield would bring the town
before the commercial world In
a way that no other enterprise
could do.
1t is probable that the other
three railroads entering this place
are now or will become interested
in the new enterprise.

ut is no wonder the man has

he would do anything. There is a
story they tell about his youth.
''They say that when he was a
burly young farm hand in Pennsyl-
vania a back tooth fell to aching
and he tramped in to Wyalusing to
have it out.
"The dentist pushed him back in
the operating chair, stuck a cork
between his jaws to keep them open
and examined the sore tooth care
fully. Then, frowning, shaking his
head, he selected his biggest and
most substantial pair Of forceps.
"Is this going to hurt, doctor?'
said the farm hand, looking nix
iously at the tremendous forceps.
'GThe dentist answered with a
smile:
"fWell, if it don't we won't
charge you anything
"And he rolled up his sleeve,
hooked the forceps on to the tooth,
put his foot against the arm of the
chair for a brace, and-ah, it was
horrible.
'But all through the horrible or
deal the young farm hand neither
howled nor groaned nor grunted.
Like an image he sat. Indeed, a
kind of smile hickered from time to
time over his face.
"When the tooth was at last out
the dentist said, compassionately:
cit didn't hurt 50 very much,
did ii?
"'Hurt? Why, it didn't hurt at

"And he took leave without pay
