ANOTHER FIRE SCARE
 AT HOFFMAN SALOON
Box of Burnine Rags Discovered Just
 in Time.

About o'clock last evening an other alarm from the "skiddoo' box brought the fire department to the Hoffman saloon in short order. The horses made a fine run and every thing was in shape for quick work. but some person spoiled all the fun by carrying the fire out into the alley and throwing a bucket of water on it before the apparatus arrived The only damage done was the break ing of the side door To the saloon when the fire was discovered by smoke issuing through the cracks.
 Though the fire did not amount to anything it was a genuine alarm. and had the incident happened late at night it would doubtless have been a real fire before it was discovered The fire was in a cracker box about two feet square, filled with dirty towels. barkeepers' aprons, etc. The box sat in the porter's closet behind the back bar under the stairway that leads to the second floor of the Hoff- man building, where the brooms. mops and other things of that sort are kept The telephone is also near by. Some one standing near Eddie Doyles cigar stand in front of the building detected the odor of burn ing rags and then discovered the smoke issuing from the barroom through the cracks between the doors, the saloon, of course, being closed up and no one in there. Sun day. Running to the side door. which was the most easily broken into, the sash and glass were smashed until the lock gave way. The smoke in the building was so dense one could pene- trate it only by crouching close to the floor, which was done, and the seat of the trouble located. The fire had hardly yet broken into a blaze. but did so as soon as the box was carried into the alley
 The natural theory was that some one had dropped burning cigar stump into the box accidentally but the man who brought the box out carefully inspected the rags in it and could not find any cigar or cigarette indications. If that were the cause the snipe must have burned up com pletely. And if that were not he cause it will have to remain a mys- tery. One could hardly accuse soiled linen of spontaneous combustion.
 Fires are coming pretty thick for the Hoffman, but fortunately they are not destructive. and it has be- come a recognized custom there to have all fires break out in a box so they can be carried out without muss- | ing up the place or deluging it with water. The last former fire was in box of excelsior in the cellar on the evening of July 4th and was started by some one throwing a light ed firecracker through the grating ! over the cellar window.

Mr.. Huggard Returns
From Trip to Canada

Mr.. w. G.. Huggard has returned
from a trip to Canada and through
several states of the far northwest.
He came in Sunday, having covered
about 5000 miles since he left Mari
eta on the 14th of July. He was look
ing remarkably well, as though the
trip mad been of great benefit
Il have had huge time" he said,
''but l am glad to get back to Mart
eta and although | have seen some of
the finest country in the world,
wouldn't swap old Cobb for anything
l have SEEN"
Mr.. Huggard went from Marietta
via Washington, Philadelphia, Roches-
ter, up the lakes to Port Arthur and
then to Winnipeg. He returned via
Crookston, Mimi, where he spent a
month with his daughter, Mrs. Stone,
who was in Marietta last winter with
her pretty little daughter. From
Crookston, Mr.. Huggard came by Min
neapolis, st. Paul, Milwaukee, Chi
cago, Detroit and Cleveland. In Cleve-
land he met a number of his friends,
that city having been his home for
half his lifetime.
One day while Mr.. Huggard was in
Toronto, walking along a crowded
street, he was surprised and overjoyed
to meet Mr.. and Mrs. Mills McNeel, of
Marietta, and their three children.
They were just as glad to meet Mr..
Huggard, and a little Marietta reunion
was held on the sidewalk of the dis
tant Canadian city.
Mr.. Huggard says he saw vast fields
of wheat and oats with evidences of
prosperity everywhere but the country
is too cold for him.

Fair Warning /!

To the Citizens OF Marietta:
The chief OF police has notified q
number of parties that their premises
are not clean, and has over q hundred
on his list whose premises are not sani-
tary. We hate to make cases against
our citizens, but they should clean up
their premises in order to make the
town clean and healthy. We urge all
citizens TO do this at once. Marietta
has the reputation Of being the pretti-
est town in the state, and visitors come
every day. II we do not keep it clean,
we will soon lose that reputation.
THIS IS THE LAST NOTICE.
