FIRE At
SUGAR GROVE

Sugar Grove had disastrous
fire Monday evening of last week,
resulting in loss of probably
$3, 900 on which there was but
light insurance.
The heaviest loser is Chas A.
Carr, the owner of the frame
building and the planning mill.
The planning mill and Wilcox's
livery stable and undertaking
establishments were all in the
building which was burned to the
ground.
The blaze started in the livery
stable but it's exact origin is un-
known. Three buggies, sample
wagon, another vehicle, lot of
hay and other feed, six caskets
and 5000 worth of casket fixtures
were consumed for Mr.. Wilcox.
His loss is $500 to $1,000 fully
covered by insurance. The
easket fixtures had just been re,
ceived.
Mr.. Wilcox was closing out his
livery business and had only two
horses. One was out at the time and
the other was got out of the stable
without much difficulty.

HORSES RAN OFF

Two run-a-ways have taken
place in Logan since our last pa
per. On Thursday afternoon of
last week Mr.. Grant Moore stopped
into our office few minutes and
left his team hitched; and they
took fright, broke loose and ran
off. The express wagon struck a
telephone pole at the rear of the
court house, and wrecked the
whole outfit. The horses stopped,
and were not injured. The sec
ond dangerous runaway was the
Steam Laundry horse. 1t headed
west on Main street, swinging the
wagon from curb to curb. At the
Opera House corner the wagon
turned over and the horse dragged
it on its side for a block until free.
ing itself. The horse was not
hurt much, but the wagon badly
smashed. The great danger lies
in so many children running about
the streets. The running away of
horses cannot be prevented, but
the children should be kept off the

AMBERGRIS.
This Valuable Substance Comes From
Diseased Sperm Whales

Ambergris is one of the most val
liable products of the sea. The
mariner who spies floating OH the
waves grayish mass, fatty in APP
pearance, will, if he knows what
ambergris is, betray considerable ex-
citement, for the substance brings
high prices.
The origin of ambergris was once
mystery, but it is SO no longer. 1t
is morbid secretion due to a dis
ease of the liver of the sperm whale,
in the intestines of which animal
Jumps of it are occasionally, though
rarely, discovered. DR.. G. III. Ste
venson of the United States fish
commission, who made a special
study of the subject, said that the
whales which yield ambergris are
invariably sickly and emaciated.
Anciently the substance was
known as amber, name which was
subsequently applied to the fossil
gum now commonly so called. But
to distinguish the two one was call
ed amber girls" (gray) and the 9TH
er ''amber jaune' yellow.
So it appears that ambergris
means simply gray amber. Like the
fossil gum, pieces of it were found
now and then on the seashore,
where they had been cast up by the
waves; hence doubtless the giving
of the same name to both.
Ambergris usually contains the
beaks of cuttlefshes, on which the
sperm whale feeds. Sometimes it is
black, but the finest is gray in color.
When dried, to cure it, it is light
and inhammable and yields an odor
family resembling honey. On being
melted by heat it evaporates slowly,
leaving no trace behind.
The substance has been used for
centuries in sacerdotal rites of the
church and with fragrant gums was
formerly burned in the apartments
of royalty. TO some extent it was
employed as a medicine and to fla
vor certain dishes. Nowadays it is
utilized almost exclusively by per-
fumers in the preparation of fine
scents, being first converted into a
tincture by dissolving it in alcohol.

HIGH
SCHOOL
CONTEST

The High School contest at the
Opera House on Friday night of
last week was certainly most
splendid affair. School is divided
into two literary societies, "The
Clionian" and "The Philoma-
theons," and they are sure-enougb
rivals.
A quartette composed of Messrs.
Warner, Krieg, Schwenke and
Bowen sang some excellent num-
bers. There was goodly audi
ence aud much enthusiasm in the
rivalry of the clubs. The literary
Judges were H. j. Woodworth, H.
r. Harrington and j. b. Dollison I;
the musical judges Mrs. G. E.
Bowen, Mrs. Frank Blasius and
Mrs. L. Yerges.
The following were declared the
winners, most of them belonging
to the Clionian Society;
"Original Story" Ruth Arm
strong, Clio, over her opponent,
Margaret Matthias, Phil.
"Recitation," Grace Lehman,
Clio, over her opponent, Doris
Ruble, Phil,
"Oration," Florence Doebele,
over her opponent, Wood Bo wen.
The victor in this contest is the
oratorical contestant in the district
meeting at Circleville this SUNNI er.
Wood Bowen became sick and left
the stage in the midst of his
grafton.
"Original Poem," Arlington
Matthias, Clio, over his opponent,
Harold Hoppe, Phil.
"Essay, Florence Raney, Clio,
over her opponent, Mlrgaret
Stiers, Phil.
"Extemperaneous Speech" i" Jno.
Kessler, Phllo, over his opponent,
Homer Armstrong, Clio.
"Debate-The Initiative and
Referendum" Glendon TrItsch
and Nellie Stracke, both Clio, over
Nellie Lift and Paul Dollison, both

Miss Bertha Gano, Clio, won over
her opponent, Miss Nellie Allen,
Philo.
Musical Mum ber-"Voca Solo,"
Miss Eva Wright, Philo, won over
her opponent, Mr.. Fred Warner,
Clio.
The musical numbers aud liter
ary numbers were all so good that
it was very hard to decide the
winners. and there were very few
points in many instances between
them. These contests should be
encouraged by our people. They
brighten up the thoughts of the
pupils and give them confidence.
