KRON IS
.NE OF FIRE:
jysterious Origin Takes Two
IRE Buildings and Two
Residences.
LOSS IS ABOUT $4,000
Flames Break Out in George Roses
Place of Business-LeCIaire Fire
Engine Fails to Work.

Fire OF mysterious origin yesterday
morning destroyed block OF buildings
in Port Byron, causing loss of about
$4,000. The buildings destroyed in
cluded two general stores and two res
licences, the stores being those of
George Rose and Mrs A. Ellis, ana
the residences being the property of
Daniel clipper and Mrs. C. Allbrecht.
The flames started in the rear of the
Rose building which contained large
double storerooms on the first floor
and apartments above where Mr.. Rose
and his family resided. 1t could not
be ascertained whether the fire origi-
mated on the first or second floor, as
Mr.. Rose and his family were all away
at the time, and when the flames were
discovered. the entire back part of the
building was burning. The fire spread
rapidly, and the efforts of the bucket
brigade were in vain. The fire was dis
covered by Mrs clipper, whose home
adjoined the Rose store, and Miss Fife
Fleming, who resides on the opposite
side of the street, at about the same
phoned in at once 1t was only short
time before an energetic band of vol
unteers was at work fighting the
flames. The church bells were rung to
sound the alarm. The bucket brigade
cut holes in the ice and carried water
from the river.
Fire Engine Balks.
LeClaire on the opposite side of the
river, sent over company of men and
its gasoline engine, and had this appar-
atus operated as it should the flames
could have been confined to the Rose
block. The LeClaire engine, however,
for some reason failed to work. and it
was some time before it could be oper-
ated. The flames spread TO the roof
of the adjoining buildings and soon the
whole block was doomed
Willing helpers removed all of the
household goods from the clipper and
Albrecht residences, with the exception
OF a piano, and a small part of the
stock of the Ellis store was saved.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.
Modern Woodman Will Conduct Free
Sanatorium for it's Members.

AT the last meeting of the Executive
Council of the Modern Woodman So
ciety. held at the headquarters of the
Society in Rock Island, H., it was de-
cided TO conduct that society's sana-
torium, located at Colorado Springs,
Colo, for the treatment of members
afflicted with tuberculosis, free of all
charge to members.
The Modern Woodmen Society, sew
eral month since, acquired ..1.38O acres
of land within seven miles of Colorado
Springs, and has established thereon
an Lp to-date sanatorium, the tent
COLONY plan being employed. The first
colony was opened for the reception
of patients on Jan. {, 1909 1t is equip
ped to care for 60 patients, TO which
number admissions will be limited for
the present.
The tents are octagonal structures,
with shingle roofs, canvass sides, hard
wood floor on solid cement founda
tions. heated by central plant, equip
ped with all modern conveniences,
such as telephones, etc and each tent
will accommodate one patient. An
administration building for physians,
nurses, dining hall, baths of all kinds,
ETC., stands in the center of the
colony.
DR.. j. b. White, formerly of the
Fordrach ranch sanatorium, the medi-
cal director in charge, states that only
those consumptive members who are
durable, or whose lives may be pro
longcd for a considerable lenghth of
time, will be admitted as patients
The wisdom OF this rule is apparent.
Rigid medical examination as condi.
tion precedent to admission will be
insisted upon in every case. and
special blank forms have been pre-
pared for this purpose.
A movement is already under way to
equip the second colony plant of GO
tents. Each tent or tent house, com
pletely equipped, represents an ex-
pense of 5000, and a number of local
Camps, or lodges, Of the Socity have
decided to donate tents. AS there are
over 1900 local Camps of Modren
Woodmen, and over 100000 mem bers,
1t is anticipated that several colonies
will soon be equipped in this way.
