Farm House BurIS

The lives of several people were
endangered by fire at an early hour
this morning when the farmhouse of
Louis Huebner was d stroyed by fire.
The farm is situated three miles east
of this city and the family was
awoke at 1 o'clock by the cracking
of the flames. Two little children
were taken out of the house in their
nightclothes and the hired man was
compelled to jump from second
story window.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it had gained such Roadway be-
fore discovered that only a few ar
ticles could be saved and many of the
neighbors were not aware of the con-
Migration until daylight.
The residence was built recently
and is a total loss, only the brick
walls remaining. 1t is said that it
was insured but nothing definite
could be learned about the matter at
this writing
Now is the time of year when peo-
pie should be very careful about Chin
ney fues and see that they are kept
clean, and other precautions taken as
the advent of winter is always accom-
panied by more or less danger from

Wiemdn'S Office Robbed

The office of Attorney Edward F.
Wieman was burglarized, but the time
when it was accomplished is not
known. The fact was discovered by
Mr. Wieman this morning when he
reached the office. He was not in the
city Saturday so cannot tell whether
it was done Friday night or during his
absenct Saturday or last night. The
burglar evidently was wise one in
some respects as he gained entrance
through a door which he unlocked
and locked after his departure. The
safe dial had been turned only lit
tie, enough to turn the bolts, and the
thief evidently was aware of this Gus
tom as he managed to open the door
but was compelled to break the iron
door of the cash box.
For his pains he secured 26 cents in
postage stamps, but overlooked a ten
dollar bill which was in small book
in the safe. Nothing else of value
was taken

Secretary Wilson on the Chi
CdgO Stock Show.

The Honorable James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture, in speak
ing of the International Live Stock
Exposition, which is to be held this
year from Nov. IT to Dec. 10, said:
The International Live Stock
Exposition as an educational fac
tor has carved a niche for itself.
Producers are confronted with
the problem of increased cost of
every commodity that they use,
greatly enhancing their expenditure.
obviously this necessitates
rigid economy, and the man who
reduces cost of production to a
minimum insures maximum profits
and his own survival where others
fail.
The International is teaching
its valuable lesson to the country
at an opportune moment.
During the period of cheap feed
and feed lot extravaganza such edu-
cation was not valued, because its
benefits were not realized at the
time.
Under new conditions, the man
who produces beef, pork and NUT
ton cannot afford the use of inferior
in his business.
Economy requires that he
handle the very best types of lhe
most improved breeding; and these
lessons can be obtained at the In
ternational Live Stock Exposition,
which is acknowledged to be an
educational institution of the high
est order In its line -

1t is suggested that all electric wiz

before being covered up and that the
cost of such inspection be borne by

may be, or the city if it concerns

the city council appoint such Inspector
who will do the work when called
upon, but no salary be attached to the
