arms. seemed to be addressing to each
in turn an impassioaed harangue. The
audience began 10 wonder who the
new actor was and what on earth he
was doing in a play in which neither
Shakespeare nor the stage managers
ever intended him to appear
Presently came The Ams when 1t
was the business pf Petdita to distrib-

whom Black had his place. Miss An

distributed flowers among the less IA

large cake crowned with q wreath Of
laurel. saying as she did 30. you take

contest Of wits at the supper table:

prevent the condition of affairs com
planned of by a Milwaukee man, who
said, CABBAGE is so high this year
that We made only three barrels OF
kraut, just to have it in case of sick

patch of seventeen acres near here

seven tons per acre, and the unirri'
gated field only about three and a
half tons per acre.

GASOLINE EXPLODES
Walter Prime and Harry Medium,
ply are Badly Burned.

Walter T. Prime, proprietor of THE
Cyclesmith Shop" No. 306 High ave.
nue. West, was seriously burned Fri.
day evening shortly before five
o'clock in gasoline explosion which
happened in the workshop. Harry
McGlumphy, who is associated with
Mr.. Prime in the business, was also
burned. The explosion occurred SO
quickly that both men were a mass
of flames in an instant. Presence
of mind probably saved the mems
lives. Mr.. Prime was repairing a
large gasoline lamp when something
went wrong and burning gasoline
shot from the lamp and enveloped
both men. The rear of the building
was soon turned into a sheet of
flame. Both Mr.. Prime and Mr.. Nc
Glumphy were seized with the same
idea when they found themselves in
the center of a raging furnace and
that was to tear off their clothing.
Mr.. McGlumphy removed his in a
short time, but Mr.. Prime on account
of his crippled condition could not
we'll remove his clothes. He was
assisted by Mr.. McGlumphy and Mrs.
Lovina Colt, who rushed from her
home next door to the scene of the
trouble. Mr.. Prime was taken in the
Colt home, where he received medi-
cal attention Immediately.
An alarm of fire was turned in and
the department made immediate re-
Spouse. The injuries received by Mr.
Prime are exceedingly painful. Both
hands and his face are frightfully
burned and will cause the gentleman
untold suffering. Mr.. McGlumphy
was burned on the lett hand and
about the face. His injuries are. pain
full and will inconvenience him for
some time. 1t is thought that the
escaping gasoline vapor from tie
lamp struck the red hot stove in the
shop, causing the explosion.

Shannon Building Occupied by
Crowder Grocery Badly Damaged.

Fire of unknown origin early Sun
day morning practically destroyed
the grocery store of John H. Crow
der, No. TIT High avenue west, caus-
ing damage to stock of goods and
building of several hundred dollars.
The fire was seen about three
o'clock Sunday morning by Charles
Livingston, who was going by the
place. The fire company was at
work in few minutes. Chief Nc
Cracker found the place filled with
thick black smoke that came from
tank of burning coal oil at the rear
of the building. No one can give
any cause for the flames. The
burning coal oil made thick oily
smoke laden with lamp black" or
oil SCOT. This settled over every
piece of goods in the building and
the stock is practically a complete
loss.
No one was living" in the fiat above
the store room and hence no damage
was experienced in that direction
The building is owned by John A
Shannon, No. AL North Market
street, who formerly operated store
there. The grocery stock was the
property of John H. Crowder. The
loss on the building is covered by in
surance and the grocery stock was
partially insured.
The burning oil did not cause al
explosion, as the tank was open ant
the oil not confined. The fire mus
have been burning an hour or more
as indicated by the amount of OF
consumed and the amount of 500
created.
