The changing of the fire bell shortly
after the dinner hour Monday aroused
the citizers Of Mineral Point thoroughly.
la was occSsioned by gas explosion in
the basement of the u. S. Hotel. The
result was the lifting off of the upper
sections Of the furnace and the scatter
ing of things generally in that apart
ment, and the causing Of chairs, tables.
etc., on the floor above to shake and
totter, In the dining room the floor
was bulged sufficiently to topple over a
table.
Our fre-iighting brigade was on hand
with hose cart and paraphenalia in
commendable quick time, but there
proved to be no fire with which to con
tend.
While the damage and inconvenience
amount to considerable it is very fortu-
nate for the hotel and the city that
there was no fire.

MINERAL POINT WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, 49, 1908
Protecting the Children.

The lesson of the Collinwood school
disaster has been quickly taken to heart
all over the country, and in practically
every city there is increased activity on
the part of public officials to study their
own school conditions and see whether
proper precautions have not been taken
to prevent a similar calamity. In many
places, also, it has been found that
such precautions have not been taken.
ana IN consequence hasty plans are be-
ing formulated to remedy defects of
construction and arrangement. and to
equip buildings with fire escapes where
none now exist. In the city OF Ahlwau-
kee, for instance, il is conceded that
public school conditions are not what
they should be, and orders have been
issued to at once prepare plans for rem
edying known defects. And pending the
execution of the proposed improve
ments it is suggested that several thou
sand children may be temporarily kept
out of the public schools, although this
is a matter yet to be decided.
This is question that comes home to
the people of Mineral Point, the same
as it has to the citizens of many other
places. Parents are everywhere asking
if the public schools are safe and if not.
have reasonable precautions been taken
to make them so. The question of ex-
pense in remedying defects should not
be allowed to interfere with the neces-
sary alterations, for money is small
consideration in protecting human life
and preventing such calamities as the
one at Collinwood. According to the
best reports our school buildings are
fairly safe, although in certain instanc-
es it is claimed there is room FOR i'm
provement.

Costly Booze at Viroqua.

Nir0oua Censor.
A single pint of alcohol sold here last
week not only got two fellows in trouble
but cost about $85 to drink it. One man
got pint bottle filled at local drug
store, for medicine of course, but being
OF neighborly disposition, gave some
to friend, who got drunk and disorder
ly from the effects. The fellow was fined
together with costs to the amount of
about $3l. The purchaser was fined and
had costs to pay amounting to some
thing over $50. Thus it can be seen that
it does not pay to try TO get booze under
false statements in our taw-abiding city.

"Chas. S. Knight, who had the part
of Garrett Foster, was the star per-
former among the male parts, His
acting was good in all the scenes, but
perhaps trifle the best in the last act,
where he redeems himself for his past

the stockade, thus saving the day for
the Ppditans, and this incidentally wins
him the Rose of Plymouth.
