A fire alarm was sounded shortly
after o'clock Thursday morning on
account of small blaze in the building
near the depot, occupied by Chas Sef-
fens, the maker of auto tops. The
blaze, which originated in the roof
around the stovepipe, and presumably
was caused by an accumulation of SCOT
in an elbow of pipe, was extinguished
by Mr. Seffens before the arrival of the
firemen. Having garden hose on hand
in his shop, Charles promptly attached
it to a faucet, and after chopping a
hole in the tin roof around the pipe, he
squelched the fire in short order. Some
damage, amounting probably to Is or
100 dollars, was inflicted by the water
on the stock in the shop.

Rasmus Anderson of Magnolia, charg-
ed with selling milk testing less than

Wood Butter company of Evansville,
was found not guilty by the jury of
three which tried his case in municipal
court on Saturday.
Colonel Nicholas Smith, for many
years one of the editors of the Gazette,
now resident of Milwaukee, fell on
the sidewalk in front of st James
church Sunday evening and suffered a
fracture of his left leg. Colonel Smith
is advanced in years and for years has
been an invalid, so that his present ac-
cident may be most serious in it's eff
fectS.
After months of patient suffering,
death came to the relief of David Con-
ger at an early hour Saturday morning,
and the tired spirit went out to the life
beyond. Mr. Conger was born at Mt
Clemens, Mich, in 1888. He came to
Wisconsin with his parents in 1874 and
located at Sheboygan Falls, where the
most of his early life was spent. On
the 9th of June, 1861, he enlisted in the
9Th Wisconsin regiment, in which his
father was captain. He was elected to
the office of fourth sergeant, and re-
tired in 1864 as second lieutenant. Dur
ing his three years of active service he
participated in many battles but es-
capped unscathed except for weakened
health, as the result OF exposure.
Col w B Britton, veteran of the Civil
war, and for many years prominent
ed quietly away Monday morning about
two O'Clock at his home, 337 Washing
ton street. Death came peacefully
while he slept, it is thought, and was
due to complication of diseases re-
sulting from the infrmities of his adj
vanced age, being about eighty years.
For the past five or six years Col Brit
ton has been almost helpless, but has
been able to move about the house in
wheeled chair. Three weeks ago he
was taken to his bed and never again
arose. Col Britton was one of the best
known eX-soldiers of the Civil war
throughout the state. He won many
honors for himself in the cause of the
North and finished his army career as
colonel of the Eighth Wisconsin regi-
ment, the famous "Old Abe" regiment.
His record in the fighting was one of
which he was justly proud.
Roy Tunnison, aged "a, of Rockford,
Ill, and Rose Leek, a young woman of
this city, were struck by a train on the
Milwaukee road Sunday evening at
Eastern and Center avenues. Miss Leek
was killed instantly, but Mr.. Tunnison
escaped with broken ankle and minor
injuries to his body. Tunnison, who is
both deaf and dumb, and the unfortu-
nate young woman who was left par
tally dumb after an attack of measles
in her childhood, were standing on the
track and in the light of what is now
known were probably engrossed in a
conversation in the sign language.

MUSIC AS AN ANESTHETIC.

A physician OF Geneva, in Switzer-
land. has successfully employed music
to soothe and tranquilize the dreams of
persons who have taken ether or chloro-
form in order to undergo surgical oper-
atoms.
The music is begun as soon as the
anesthetic begins to take effect, and Is
continued until the patient awakes. 1t
is said that not only does this treatment
prevent the hystercal effects sometimes
