LOST STEAMER
IN Flames
LAKE PASSENGERS AND THE
GREW SAVED BY SHEER
GOOD LUCK.
The Steamer Iroquois is Lost in Fog
and Strikes a Rock in Georgian
Bay. A Fire Starts and All Owe
Lives to Passing Tug.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 27.-Because of
tiers of Georgian bay the Canadian
steamer Iroquois lost her way in Nc
Bean channel. She struck on West
Rock and twenty minutes later was
on fire as result of the overturning
of cook stove.
The twenty-five passengers and five
members of the crew owe their lives
to the luck that enabled rafting tug
to find the stranded little steamer in
the smoke. The tug heard the dis
tress signals of the Iroquois, answered
promptly and stood by until all on
board were saved.
J. H. Kotcher of Detroit became a
hero in short time. In the midst of
scene where terror ruled, he kept
his head, caught babies as they were
tossed over the rail of the steamer to
the tug below, assisted frightened
women and lent a hand everywhere
until the last person aboad the DOOM
ed passenger boat had been safely
transferred to the tug.
When the Iroquois crashed on West
Rock, careening far over as she
struck, the passengers were in terror.
Women were on board, two of them
with babies. There was a sea run
ming which made the lowering of the
life boats more difficult. The boats
were dry and seems were open, and
when the frantic passengers began to
pile into them as the only means of
escape the cracking craft filed with
water. Then there was more terror
end every one piled back on the
steamer.
Back in the pail of smoke some
where was rafting tug; the little
steamer had passed it only a few
minutes before. The tug seemed to
be the only hope. The Iroquois'
whistle was soon sounding distress
signal. The tug, hearing the signals,
dropped her log boom and came
steaming blindly through the smoke
to that whistle. The smoke began to
pour up from below decks on the
Iroquois and the terror was trebled.
Quietly all on board were taken off
safely but they took nothing with
them but the clothes on their backs.
Mr.. Kodcher assisted many down
to the deck of the tug saving two
two women and children from the
burning steamer.

Grand Stand Burns.

st. Paul.-The grand stand at Lex
ington Park was entirely destroyed
by fire which started from an unknown
origin early in the evening. An
alarm was turned in at 8:15 o'clock,
and before the engine companies ar
rived on the scene the entire stand
was doomed and part of it had col
lapsed.
1t was only by the fast work Of
the companies under the charge of
Assistant Chief Rodecker that the
bleachers on the first and third base
side Of the field were saved. The
fire had evidently started in the mid
die of the stand, probably in the
dressing rooms in the clubhouse, for
the fire had eaten it's way about an
equal distance from that portion of
the structure when the firemen ar
rived. Both bleachers had begun to
burn, but two streams of water from
the companies working from the n.y.
drants on University avenue and
from Lexington stopped these fires
before any great amount of damage
was done.

Douglas, the great opponent of Lin

Senate, and the local option theory that

and is so energetically championed, both
by temperance people of certain sorts
and the manufacturers and sellers of
intoxicating liquors. The Advocate says:

AN ILLUSTRATIVE CASE

The State Register OF Springfield, lii
lois, summarizes the experience OF
Illinois, in the matter OF
,o-license as follows:
In the first place, Jacksonville was
voted dry" A majority of the peo-
pie voted out the saloons Then the
mayor of the town became officially
blind, deaf and dumb and the saloons,
which had been converted into soft
drink parlors," dispensed with official
permission, liquors which were intoxi-
eating and thus in violation of the
local option law, which the people had
adopted. AS a result Jacksonville has
been pointed to as a most horrible
example Of the impotence and worth
lessness of the Illinois local option
law. The law appeared to be friend
less. 1t seemed to be as bad as its
critics said it was, and appeared worse
than the uncouth names it was being
called In fact, it seemed to deserve
all the epithets being hurled at it.
1t was fake and farce. And why
was all this? Because there was no
one to enforce the law. But here
comes surprise Judge Russell of
Bloomington held court in Jackson
vile. Two cases for violation of the
local option law were brought before
him, and in each case a fine of $500
was assessed. Efforts to effect COM
promise were met with the rebuff of
a stern, unyielding court. The answer
was Law" That's all there
was to it. Some one was enforcing
the law. The effect was electrical.
Other violators of the law slammed
the doors of their places. The lid"
was on. The town is "dry." The
law has been vindicated.
