SERIOUS FIRE
Barn Belonging to Edward Green of
Dewey Street Destroyed

The most serious fire in nearly a
year occurred this morning when a
barn belonging to Edward Green of
Dewey street was totally destroyed
by fire. The alarm sounded at 9:05
from box 50 on the corner OF Main
and Dewey streets. The Putnam
and Stark hose companies reached
the scene at practically the same
time The Puts, however. laid
their hose a little straighter and al
though the water was turned into
both lines OF hose at the same time
they had the first stream on the
blaze by a few seconds time.
The fire in the building was beyond
control when the department reached
there and was soon only smolderng
ruin. The release was sounded
shortly after ten.
In the building was about $50 worth
of hay. farming implements, harness
etc, al of which We're destroyed
The total loss is about $3.50 with nc
! insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown
Mr.. Green stated that he had been
up TO Bennington Centre early in the
morning and when he drove into the
yard on his return noticed smoke is
suing from the barn When he en-
tered the building il was all ablazC
in the interior and all efforts to pur
! il out proved futile.

THERE WE'RE OTHER PIPE LINES
Prairie Oil and Gas Company Is oper-
atine In Oklahoma.

Washington, Sept 2S.-Secretary Of
the interior Garfield has made a state.
ment concerning relations of former
Secretary Il. A. Hitchcock with the is
sue of leases authorizing the Prairie
Oil and Gas company to lay pipe
throughout Indian lands in Oklahoma
The records OF his department, he de-
clared, showed clearly that Secretary
Hitchcock simply complied with an
act of Congress authorizing the con
struction of pipe lines and that no
where, he declared, is there any rec
ord or other evidence that the Presi-
dent at any time either oyerruled Mr.
Hitchcock or was at variance with
him in the course he pursued in the
issuance of these permits.
Mr.. Garfield declared that the de-
parement had never Disseminated
against or in favor of any person or
corporation in the granting of the
lease and that the Pairie Oil and Gas
company was dealt with exactly as
were others who applied for the right
to lay pipe lines. About twenty per
mits to lay pipe lines have been grant
ed by the department in connection
with the Indian lands in Oklahoma.
In no case, he said, had there been
any interference with the laws of Ok
lahoma
Secretary Garfield added; The
statement OF Governor Haskell that
he protested against any action Of the
interior department, implying that the
interior department was attempting
TO grant a franchise in opposition to
the rights of the state Of Oklahoma
is untrue, for no such protest was
ever received nor was the interior dc
partment attempting TO take any
such step
Secretary Loeb also stated that the
| company had been granted no priv
lege which any other company could
not have obtained

IMPROVEMENT IN MILK
Samples Sent to State Laboratory
Give Better Analyses.

Milk from different parts of the
state is being continually sent to the
state laboratory of hygiene Burling-
ton, TO be analysed and as a rule most
of the samples submitted are improv-
ing in cleanliness. Milk from many
OF the outside cities and towns was
found to be abnormally dirty during
the early summer but, thanks to the
members of the state board of health
and the state laboratory officials, con
ditlons are improving.
Milk now being submitted is much
cleaner than formerly, but there is
still room for improvement in some
quarters. Samples MIXED at the
same time, taken from the dairy and
arriving at the laboratory at the same
time show marked differences. Some
of the samples are very sour, some
sour. and others perfectly sweet. This
is caused, no doubt, by the neglect OF
the dairymen themselves in neglect
ing to properly cool the milk after
milking. Beside keeping the milk
clean it is said that the dairymen
should see that the milk is properly
cooled directly after leaving the sta
bles. otherwise the germs will multi
ply in untold numbers and the prod
uct will sour quickly.

Bryan lntimates That Corporations

Milwaukee, Sept. 2S.--William ].
Bryan's telegram to President Roose.
welt, answering the fourth presiden-
tial campaign letter in which Mr.
Roosevelt reviewed the record of Gov
Charles N. Haskell, the democratic
national treasurer, and intimated that
the big trusts were giving money to
the Democrats, has been made public
Mr.. Bryan challenges Mr.. Roose-
welt to name a single person connect
ed with a law-defying trust who is
contributing to the democratic fund
and further challenges him to explain
why his party is not making public
campaign contributions before" in
stead of after election.
Mr. Bryan charges, among other
things, that the steel trust, with
your express consent" purchased one
of its largestrivals and thus obtained
control of more than so per cent of
the total output He asks the presi-
dent if he will insist that in permit
ting this you showed less favor to the
monopolistic corporations than | dc
in opposing It,"
He abruptly charges that Gov
Hughes quoted by President Roose
welt as having "riddled the democrat
ic trust remedy" was himself the ben
efciary of the trusts and cites the
campaign contributions to the Hughes
election fund two years ago Among
those mentioned are J. p. Morgan
John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carneg
lie and William Nelson Cromwell.
Mr.. Bryan tells President Roose
welt that he did not make good his
charges against Haskell and declares
that the president, for partisan pur
pose, rushed in and convicted Haskell
Iii an ex parte statement. He, how
ever, does not defend Haskell, though
! he says Haskell is now free TO prose
cute those who have brought charges
against him.

FINGER cHEWED OFF
l. j. Eddington Met With Painful
Accident Saturday Evening.

NSNNhSAN OaN6i GNN''H9s
L. J. Eddington met with a serious
accident Saturday evening about 10
o'clock in his market on Main street.
He was grinding some meat when the
index finger Of his left hand caught
in the machine and about one half of
it was practically chewed off. A Zig
ament nearly eight inches long was al
so pulled out of his finger and fore
arm, making the injury doubly pain
full.
Mr.. Eddington started at once for a
physician and had the injured mem
Der dressed. The machine is run by
electric power and this accounts for
it not being stopped before Mr. Ed
dington was so seriously injured. He
will probably lose nearly all of this
finger.
