BIG FIRE AT

HIUn g
Great Loss i'm Blaze Early Monday

And Other Buildings in Business
Portion Destroyed.

And Other Buildings in Business
Portion Destroyed.
One of the most disastrous fires in
the history of Highland occurred early
Monday morning, with loss of nearly
$4,000, destroying the large general
store of III. Lewis and two story dwell
ling belonging to Sebastian Niedermeyer,
and partly burning and damaging by
water double store building occupied
by William Miller, saloon, and William
Ferger, barber shop.
The losses are:
Fl. Lewis building, $4,000, with $1,000
insurance, stock of merchandise, $40, 900
with $13, 900 insurance.
William Miller saloon building and
stock, loss 81 900, covered by insurance.
S. Niedemeyer, dwelling 5000, fully
insured.
John Aide, household furniture, $3.50;
no insurance.
Mrs r. Kennedy dwelling, estimated
damage of $500, covered by insurance.
J Padhalla, residence and household
furniture, $500; no insurance.
The fire originated in the furnace
room of the Lewis store and was first
discovered by Gordon Lewis, who had
sleeping apartments in the building.
He made his escape from the burning
building with difficulty and ran in his
bare feet half block to give the alarm.
The morning brought zero weather and
the firemen had hard work to confne
the fire to the Lewis and Niedermeyer
buildings and time and again the Mil
Ter building and the former home of
Richard Kennedy, across the street,
caught fire and were thought doomed.
At one time fears were entertained for
the lower portion of the business center
but the water supply was adequate to
check the fires advance on the Padhalla
building

PASSED FROM THIS LIFE
Thomas Sims

The community was shocked by the
,uncement of the sudden death of
IL. Thomas Sims at about five O'Clock
on last Friday evening. He was ap-
parently in his usual health and return
ed to his home from down town. Two
loads Of wood had just been delivered
at the place, and it is supposed that he
was about to close the large gate, when
death overlook him. Russell, the little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Curnow,
Jr., was with him at the time, and ran
to the house and told Mrs. Sims that
something was the matter with Uncle
Tom, as he always called him. The
wife Immediately ran to her husband
and found him lying on the snow, gasp
ing. Assistance soon came but all
efforts to revive him proved futile and
in few moments he breathed his last.
The decedent was born in Mineral
Point. He constantly resided here,
with the exception Of few years, when
he was engaged in the hardware busi
ness in Iowa. He was united in mar
riage to Miss Ella Nichols of Darling
ton, who is now called upon to mourn
his death and with whom the com
munity deeply sympathizes in her sad
bereavement. One brother, Samuel
Sims, also survives him. Thomas Sims
was a peaceable citizen, and a kind
friend and neighbor. The funeral took
place from his late home on Monday
afternoon, Rev. S. A. Bender officiating.
The burial was in Graceland. Rela-
tives and friends present from out of
town were: Elisha Nichols, Kansas;
William Brubecker, Iowa; Mr.. and
Mrs. Willis King, the Misses Hogan,
Mr.. and Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Harris,
Darlington; Thomas Sims and two
sisters, Dodgeville.

"A True copy
w. E. BLOSSMAN,
Deputy Clerk.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-11

the world have been searched for ferns
that will meet these requirements COM
paratively few species are available as
ideal plants for fern dishes Some OF
these are very attractive, however, and
so inexpensive that they are easily
available in any home.
Among the sorts with coarser leaf
age the we'll known holly fern is one
of the best for fern Dishes provided
small plants are chosen. The green or
the young leaves of this variety is
much fresher and more attractive than
that of older leaves and the roots of
young plants are not too large to go in
the dish Consequently young plants
must be chosen for transplanting rath-
er than one or two older ones. When
they outgrow the dish they must be
replaced by others.
Some of the best ferns for shallow
dishes belong to the genus pteris, a
large group in which very diverse
forms are found. The white-lined
pteris is very attractive sort with
narrow LEAKAGE which is green and
white The closely related magnifica
variety is somewhat similar the slen-
der stems and spreading leaves giving
a fine effect when massed in low
fern dish.
The variety of pteris known as Will
sons fern is certainly one of the very
best sorts for use in fern dishes. 1t
has a large leaf surface in comparison
with it's root development and the
leaves spread out in such a way that
they give a flattened effect to the
group. Each frond breaks apart at its
tip with a number of finger-like
branches that give the plant bizarre
and interesting appearance. 1t is
hardy species and thrives under the
comparative neglect of house condi-
tions.
The variety catalogued as serrulata
cristata is another good pteris for the
fern dish. There are also various other
forms which are desirable when well
grown plants can be obtained, but
those named above are likely to be the
most satisfactory.
Perhaps the commonest cause of fail
ure in keeping the plants in fern dishes
in a healthy condition is that of al
lowing water to stand below the inset
in the dish so that the bottom of the
soil is always soaked. A good way to
avoid this is to take the inset out and
water thoroughly when needed. and
then put it back in the receptacle.

NEW USE FOR sPRAYER

Besides the purposes for which II Is
intended, a good sprayer can pc useu
for many other purposes about the
home Try spraying the chicken mousse
with insecticides or wh.tewash proper
lv strained and thinned. l have also
found another use for the sprayer that
will quickly pay for the price OF tne
outfit, wall paper needs continually
replacing, and it is insanitary to place
a new paper on top of an old one:
sprayer is the finest thing for taking
off old wall paper that l have ever
seen. Fill the tank half full OF not
water. then create enough air pressure
to produce a fine misty spray. Apply
This to the paper in two applicat ons'
the first one just enough to dampen
the paper. The water will run TOO
much if applied the first time ana
while the paper is dry; the second ,S ap-
nlication will be quickly absorbed. Inc
naper will then peel off so easily that

kERosENE-soAP EMULSION

Kerosene can be safely used on
plants when mixed or emulsified with
soap in water, making the we'll known
kerosene-soap emulsion. To make the
emulsion first dissolve soap in not
water then add keronsene as long as IL
will be dissolved or taken up by the
amount of soap used. Stir the mixture
vigorously while the oil is being added
Different sorts of soap have different
dissolving power, according to their
strength, hence the proportion of soap
and kerosene used in making the en-
sion will depend largely upon
strength of the soap used. Churn IN
stir the mixture until the oil comple
disappears from the surface. If
nnuch oil is added, enough more soap
can he mixed in to dissolve the surplus.
This oil emulsion is a good remedy 1or
plant lice and other sucking insects.
1t can be applied either weak or strohg,
according to the hardness OF the plants
unon which it is used, and 1t can be
applied either as spray or wash
If some of it reaches the roots OF the
plants no harm, but rather GOOD, VIII
he done. If it is used very strong IN
order TO kill tenacious insects it is well
to spray or wash the plants some hours
afterward with clear water to prevent
the emulsion from stopping up the
nores of the leaves. Potted cnrySaH-
themums which are infested with plant
lice may be immersed in basin OF the
solution, but afterward the plant
should be rinsed in clear water. Inc
emulsion when made with an excess
of soap and weakened before using
is an excellent wash for almost all
noted plants, as it is both cleanser
and an insecticide. 1t is perfectly saIe
and non-poisonous to human beings
under all circumstances

TAKE slips NOW

Make cuttings Cor "slips") of ger
orimms. heliotropes, coleus and other
tender bedding plants before the tops
are killed by frost. The tip cuttings
are easier to handle and some Sal

reranium. for instance, the tip is cut
off. Off taking about two inches of stem
and cutting lust beneath joint. All
bnt one leaf is removed and also the
large leafy stipules as these might roI
and infect the stem, causing rot ana
death. To root the cuttings, put them
in sand or very sandy soil In warm
and shaded place. A deep box that can
