May Have Paid Department.

one of the OutCOmes of the recent
la Dor union troubles in Lead has APP
peared in the volunteer fire depart
ment and as a result it is likely to
cause the city to do away with the
volunteer organization and adopt a
regular paid department. Chief John
Mcbride vas recently reelected to the
office at a special meeting of the de-
partment, called ahead of the regular
time, and his opponents charge irreg-
ularity in the election. Sentiment
among the members is widely divided
and a paid department seems to be the
only outcome of the present difficulty
as the non-union men decline to serve
under Mcbride who is a union SYM
pathiZer.

OKLAHOMA TOWN HIT BY FIRE.
Practically All the Business Portion of
WiStcr is Destroyed

Practically the entire business por-
ton of Wister, Okla, was destroyed
by two distinct fires Wednesday night.
Twenty-eight business houses were
burned, causing a loss estimated OF
100000. Only a bank. two stores and
the depot remain in the business sec
ton. A report that a man lost his
life at the Brown hotel was not true.

is divided into two parts by the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad
tracks. The first fire destroyed all the
buildings except three north of the
tracks. This fire had just burned out
when an explosion in a drug store
started a fire south of the tracks, de-
stroyins all but one building. The
town has nc fire department and the
high wind made fire fighting difficult
for the citizens who volunteered.
No residences were burned.

CARRIED FROM MOORTNGS.
Submarine Drifts Away After Divers
Had Worked for Hours.

The French submarine Pluviose,
with her crew Of 81 dead, is a vagrant
in the underwriters of the English
channel. For hours Friday the divers
had struggled to prepare the way for
the raising Of the 450-ton weight,
when the wounded war craft, under
the pressure of the swift lower cur
rent, shook herself free from her
mud moorings and drifted away. Late
Friday afternoon she had not been
again located.
The appearance Of the submarine
or h surface for a brife period fol-
lowing the accident is attributed by
navy experts to a desperate attempt of
her commander to operate the flood
ing machinery.
The channel steamer Pas de Calais
sighted the periscope Of the Pluviose
some 20 feet ahead, and backed, but
was too late to avoid a collision.

ENFORCING "DIPPING- LAW.
Number of Individual Herds Infected
with SCabbicS.

The state and government veteri-
nary forces are working together in
the Missouri valley at the present time
to enforce the dipping laws in cases of
scabbies. A lumber of individual
herds are reported to be more or less
affected in Hughes, Sully and Potter
counties, and these herds are being
looked after to see that there is no
further spread of the disease. The
whole of the state was q~uarantined
several years ago, on account of the
prevalence of ~scabbies, and a rigid
campaign, with dipping of stock, prac-

quarantine removed, some owners be-
came careless. and there are cases
which need looking after to prevent
the situation again becoming as seri-
Gus as it was several years age.
