Fire

"Hair Singes" were eiver
away free at the L. A. Tami.
siea barber shop this morning
about seven o'clock when the
building caught fire from com.
bustion or gases from the hard
coal stove.
When Mr.. Tamisiea came
down to his shop this morning
the room was filled with gas
from the hard coal stove. He
opened he front door and after
seating a customer in the chair
went back and opened the back
door. No sooner had he OPEN
ed the door until the whole
room was ablaze. The custo-
mer didn't lose any time max
ing his exit out of the front
door while Mr.. Tamisiea ran
around and out through the
Hollister & Long electrical Of.
flee. Both had narrow escapes
from being burned more than
an "eye brow" and chair SINCE. {"
At the time gasoline tank set
ting behind the door was
Thought to have exploded, but
after the fire was extinguished
the gasoline can was still filled
and hadn't been touched.
Ignition of gases from the
hard coal stove is only solution
for the cause of the fire.
People who saw tho first
blaze, say the front Windows,
we're blown out and the flames
reached half way across the
street. After an hour of
heroic fighting by the fire de-
partment the blaze was extin-
guished but not until the build
ing was a complete wreck. 1t
is doubtful whether the build.
ing will ever be rebuilt or not
as it is inside the fire limit and
if rebuilt, will have to be of
stone or brick. Mr.. Tamisiea
had $250.00 insurance on his
furnishings, just about a third
of what it will cost to replace
them. All of his tools, barber
chairs valued at Sl65.0O, big
plate mirror and everything of
consequence was destroyed.
Hollister & Long had no insur-
ance and their loss while not
complete will reach $4,000.
Mr.. Carpenter had just in
sured his building for $4,000.
The building had just been re-
built after the fire of two
weeks ago at an expenditure of
over $4,000. The O'Connor
building adjoining on the east
was damaged very slightly.
The Carpenter building is total
ly destroyed.

The Election is past.

Again the people of Iowa have
expressed their political choice
of those whom they prefer to
rule for the next two years, and
with this choice, we all should
be satisfied. That many sur
prises occurred, but we must be
satisfied with a decision made
by the people. The Democrats
succeeded better than usual, in
the State, County, and District,
electing Senator, and the Coun-
'ty Attorney, aud County Super
intendent of Schools, with ma
ny township officers, and redu-
cling the Republican vote gen
orally, not only in Harrison Co.,
but drought out the country
teaching the lesson that there's
a limit to political corruption. 1t
will, no doubt, cause some of
the political bosses" to stop
and consider.
The vote in this county was a
surprise to many, electing Mrs.
Susie Faith to the office of Co.
Superintendent of Schools, and
the Co. Attorney, and reduced
the w. |. Smith vote materially
but as Congress will be Demo-
cratic, he will not care so much
as Champ Clark will be the next
Speaker of the House. Take it
all in all, the election is salts
factory the democrats be-
cause they done so we'll, and to
the republicans because it was
no worse.
| Now, as the election is past,
let us all go to work to secure
and increase the number of our
population and general bust.
ness, and thus regain our loss.
Here is Iowa, the grandest
State in the Union,lthe fairest
spot kissed by the genial sun,
and yet loosing population to
swell the ranks of the cities of
the arid West. Missouri Valley
must wake up to her interest,
and see to it that the next cen.
sus places the city and the en-
tire county on the increase side
of the population.

A PuzzuNc PINE.
Peculiar Tree That ls Something Of a
Mystery to eo.anists

Peculiar Tree That 10 Something Of .
Mystery to 6o.anists.
Upper California is the home Ut a
tree that has puzzled l,ot;,lnsls. ii IL
n pine which will grow only near tue
seacoast. Its growth is slow. and it
does not attain to great size.
The strange thing about it is that
there are. to all appearances. insllr-
mountable difficulties in the way Of
the pelpetuation of the species Some
specimens Of 1t exist In Kew gardens,
In London. They have been carefully
examined by competent authorities,
and all admit that the tree presents IL
problem unlike anything elsewhere
met with.
This pine produces ut regular inter-
walls the usual cones containing seeds;
but. strange to say. the cones are SO
thoroughly protected that the seeds
hard and tightly closed and have
strong overlapping scales.
More extraordinary still Is the fact
that the pine. after producing its AL
most invu!nerable cones, keeps them
hanging ON Its branches year nfter
year Unless through some peculiar
accident the seeds would apparently
remain attached to the parent tree for
over. Many of the cones on the trees,
In Kew gardens have been there for
years. as is shown by the size of the
branches and the formation of the
bark.
| 1t has been found that the seed ves-
sells which this tree SO powerfully re-
tain are so we'll protected that 1t re-
quires IL strong knife with the assist
unce of IL heavy hammer TO cut the
cone into sections. No ordinary co;-
diticns Of temperature can make
cone open.
The following is the only explana-
tion yet offered that seems to have any
degree of plausibility: The species
may be perpetuated by fire. One who
has studied the tree asserts that moth
Ing but the intense heat of forest
fire could compel the cones to release
their seeds. 1t has been found that
under the influence of intense heat
they crack open and the seeds fall
out uninjured.- Iarpers Weekly.

Apart from the crude economic

depend upon the favor of men. and
The qualities that win this favor are
not in general those that are most
useful for other purposes. A girl
should not be too intelligent or too
good or too highly differentiated in
any direction. Like a ready-made

have '.just about as much religion as
my William likes" The age-long
operation Of this rule, by which the
least strongly individualized women
are the most likely to have a chance

it the air Of a natural law. Though
