a Bad Fire.

Wlaen the department arrived there
was smoke coming from every will
dow in the house and it was not GER
tain at the time as to whether Mr..
Collins was in the house or not, but it
was learned shortly after that he had
slept at the home of his father last
night on account of illness.
Mr.. Collins had slept in the resi-
dence the night before, Mrs. Collins
being away from home and had he
slept there last evening would in all
probability would have been badly
injured and probably nave lost his life
from suffocation, being heavy SUM
berer. When he arrived on the scene,
the firemen were shown watch part OF
the house was the most necessary to
save and by their efforts, the west
side of the house was saved from fire
although badly damaged by water
which leaked through from the roof.

Fire Quilted the Home Of Harry r.
Collins at Seventh and Orleans
Street Early This
Morning.
FIRE IN THE FRONT ROOM
Mrs. Collins Was Out Of the City
and Mr.. Collins at the Home
Of His Father Probably
Saved Him.

At lis this morning an alarm was
turned in from Seventh and Orleans
street where the two story brick res
idence belonging to Harry r. Collins
was aflame and which was badly gut
ted by fire during the three hours
which were put in by the f1remen in
fighting the flames.
When the department arrived on
the scene, the front windows we're
broken in and the chemical engine
was brought into play in the front room
where the fire is supposed to have
started from a crate in the corner of
the room and in which there was a
bright fire when the fire department
arrived on the scene.
The fire was first noticed by Mrs.
Parsons who resides in the residence
adjoining the Collins property and the
department answered in quick re-
Spouse.
Despite the efforts of the firemen
the blaze ate its way through to the
rooms in the rear of the east parlor
where the fire first started and in a
short time the whole east side of the
house on the interior was a mass of
flames and steadily gaining.
Three lines of hose were laid, one
from Seventh and Franklin, another
from Eighth and Orleans and third
from Seventh and Grand avenue. The
flames ate their way to the upper bed
rooms of the residence and were soon
bursting out along the caves. The
house is double rooted one with tar
paper on it and the first burst out
time and again when 1t was thought
that it had been brought under con-
troll. The first roof was torn from
the second SO that the hose would be
more effective.

Chief Gave Demonstration.

Chief Anderson of the fire depart
ment stated this morning that the wa
ter pressure at last nights fire was
good. The trouble, however, was not
with the pressure given the firemen
last night but the fire plugs are sadly
IN need of repair and as proof the
chief gave a demonstration of the
fact this morning by going to each of
the plugs and turning on the water.
The plug at Seventh and Franklin is
IN the worst condition and when turn
ed on, the water was thrown over
three feet above the plug through a
leak. Evidence of the bad and leaky
condition of the hydrant was shown
by the water which flooded the street
and sidewalk along Seventh between
Franklin and Orleans and this morn
ing formed frozen pond. The otler
two plugs used, the one at Eighth and
Orleans were in almost as bad a con-
dition. The one at Seventh and Grand
was frozen but in better condition
than the other two, not leaking so
badly
Much water is lost by the leaky
plugs, which during a bad fire like
the one early this morning, means
much time and water lost A number
Of citizens on tle north side of the
city were present at the demonstra-
ton given by Chief Anderson at the
fire plug on Seventh and Franklin
street this morning and were fully
convinced that there needs to be new
plugs or repairs of those that are now
in use by the water company.

is Justly called the scrubbing brush
for the stomach. The old monks of
medieval times cured bad cases of
stomach trouble, cast out devils from
