FIRE DAMAGES
German Lutheran Church Last Sun
day Morning

oay AOrnlng
About nine o'clock last Sun
day morning, while the wind was
blowing strongly from the south
the nre alarm was sounded aud
the German Lutheran church
was discovered to be on fire.
When the tiremen got on the
ground with the hose it was
found that the nearest hydraut
was frozen, and more hose had to
be obtained. and connection
made with the hydrant several
blocks away at the corner of the
Lindquist residence Mr.. Keep.
ke who was acting as janitor, and
Rev. kase had attempted to put
out the fire by water in pals, but
quickly discovered that they
would not succeed, ana closed up
the doors, allowing no draft to
fan the flames. This fact saved
the building from total destruc-
tion, for though the fremen
worked bravely in the cold wind
considerable time elapsed before
water could be got on the build
ing, and had draft been secured
the structure would have been
totally consumed. AS it was the
fire which started at the furnace,
burned the walls in the base
ment and ran along under the
floor. burning the joists so that
the floor on the north side of the
building caved in and some of
the pews were slightly scorched,
but other wise no great damage
was done by fire to the audi.
torium. though the smoke and
water inflicted damage upon the
alter furnishings, pulpit, walls
and furnishings. that will in some
cases amount to total loss. Mr..
kase estimates that the loss on
the building will be covered by
insurance, but that there will be
a loss to the church of several
hundred dollars on the furnish.
ings over aud above insurance.
This loss includes the spelling Of
a tine picture OF the ascension,
which was painted by : we'll
known artist. It will be several
weeks before the church can be
again ready for service.

Dr. Eliot criticised the sentiment which re-

killed for food and clothing and because they
are nOxious 20 man.
Three doubts are often suggested concerning
the value OF the animal experiment. which with
the help OF anesthetics and asepticism has been
earnestly prosecuted By many dIsinterested and
humane seekers for truth during the last forty
years" said DR.. Eliot. The first doubt relates
70 the connection between medical research and
medical practice. In other words. has biological
research really contributed to the success OF
the medical art7
''The second doubt is more complex yhas
is the use trying 70 ascertain the nature OF a
disease in animals whsn It Is not known tas
same disease occurs In man or that the treat
ment successful for animal would be successful
for man?
'The third doubt IS: Is truth seeking IN biol.
