MORNING BLAZE
Jay McNaughton suffers Fire Loss
Had Narrow Escape

Jay McNaughton, who for several
months past has occupied the house be-
longing to Mrs. o. A. Day on Leonard
street, north side, was awakened about
2 o'clock last Sunday morning by hearing
something drop near his bed. The room
was filled with smoke and he jumped from
the bed, only to find the house on fire and
himself nearly suffocated from the smoke.
In his hurry to get out he fell through fire,
smoke and down the stairway, where he
managed to throw out couple Of suit
cases filled with clothing and get his val
liable papers, then he awakened Mr. and
Mrs. Fred MINER, who in turn quickly
aroused the neighbors and turned in an
alarm to the city fire department. For
tunately the help which was soon at hand
were able to remove the household goods
from the first floors to a place of safety
and when the fire department arrived they
found the center of the building roaring
mass of flames from floor to garret and
after turning on the water they had a
fight Of nearly an hours duration before
they had extinguished the last flame,
leaving the house badly damaged, although
it again showed the effectiveness of the
local fire department in subduing flames
in burning building.
Mrs McNaughton was away at the
time, and while misfortune seems to at
tend Jays efforts to make success Of
life's journey. yet he is very thankful that
this loss to him was no worse and that
he escaped with his life. The loss, includ-
ing the damage to the building and the
goods in the upper story, was covered by
insurance in the Wagner and Sandell
agencies.

during his pastorate here and regretted
very much that he had decided to give up
the field. Mr.. Myers resignation was a
surprise to all and many words Of regret

and society at his decision. He however
is entitled to much needed rest on se-
count OF his health and he thinks this is
the time he should take it.

Senator Bradley and Representative
Miller get Go Committee Places.
Senator VIM. H Bradley was in the
city Monday on his way to Lansing and
stated that the Legislature would get
settled down to business IN earnest this
week, and that there would be lot of
solid work ACCOMPLISHED at this session.
Mr.. Bradley was placed on seven COM
mittees, which means that he has large
amount Of hard work before him He IS
chairman of the Committee on Claims
and Public accounts and also Of Labor
Interests; a member of the Finance and
Appropriation committee, Kalamazoo
Asylum, Constitutional Amendments, Inn
igration, and State tuberculosis Sanator-
ium committees. Mr.. Bradley's son,
Charles, has been appointed a page.
Representative F. G.. Miller also landed
in the good luck column at the beginning
of his legislative career. In the first place
he stood number six in the seat drawing
contest and secured the very seat he de-
sired and strangely enough also secured
the very seat-mate he wanted. His COM
mittee assignments, considering his first
term standing we're decidedly compliment
ary. He is second on the committee on
elections which will have to do with a
new primary law, and is a member Of the
judiciary, city corporations and Industrial
Home for Girls committees, all of which
are Of first Importance.

schoo, funds Earn Money

The Peoples Savings Bank has again
secured the handling of Belding school
money for the coming year, the rate Of
interest paid being 81 per cent on daily
balances. The money during the past
year earned about $500 and as the old
saying goes, Every little bit added to
what you've got makes just little bit
more F" This result is directly attributa-
BILE to the resolution offered by w. l..
Benedict while he was member Of the
board few years ago. Mr.. Benedict
introduced the resolution that made II
possible for the school money to be earn
ing little money for the taxpayers while
1t was lying around doing nothing and
like Doc Micawber, waiting for something
to turn up"

Ionia District Campmeeting Assoc'a-

Ionia District Campmeetine Assoc'a-
tion Talk of Closing Out
For the past two or three years the
Long lake campmeeting has not proved a
success financially or spiritually and the
attendance and interest have fallen off
very perceptibly from what they were in
its earlier history. A meeting is to be
held this week in Ionia to decide the aues-
ton Of continuing it or to sell the grounds
if 1t is thought best to quit.
The campmeetings Of the association
have been held at Long lake for the past
fifteen years and the association owns
about 6 acres of land there. There are
several cottages, a hotel and an auditorium
with capacity of about 500. During
the past few years, however, the attend
ance has been diminishing and last sum-
mer it was small.
The affairs Of the association were
talked over last year and delegation Of
the trustees was sent to the meeting OF
the ministers of the Lansing district in
November at Grand Ledge. The results
at this meeting we're discouraging. Now
it is conceded that unless the ministers OF
the district will stand by the association
1t must be discontinued. The prospect is
that the Long lake grounds will be sold
and that the campmeetings will be trans
ferred to Eaton Rapids. The grounds are
located at the southwest end of the lake
and are ideal for summer resort purposes.

pleted yesterday. The high altar, which
