Notice to Grain Stackers.

In order to save time and expense
in threshing grain, farmers are re-
cuested to place their stacks eight
or ten feet apart so as to allow for
the passage of the threshing ma
chine. By doing so, the work will
be greatly facilitated.

DEATH IN FIRE EASY.
Science Sharps Say 1t Is Quick and
Probably Painless.

New York, May 1.-THE question is
often debated as to whether persons
who lose their lives in a fire develop
ing with great rapidity undergo ex-
IRENE physical suffering. An authori-
tative opinion is expressed by the New
York Medical Journal. which says:
Unnecessary anguish of mind has
probably been felt by relatives of the
unfortunate workers who were killed
in the recent fire in Washington Place
by reflection on the supposedly agon-
izing pain caused by such a death.
Where a great bulk of highly inf1am-
mable substances is quickly consumed
in closed space. the result is the
production of large quantities of car
bon monoXide
THE gas, it is well known, com bin es
with hemoglobins of the blood to
form a compound that refuses to COM
bine with oxygen. The result is speedy
and probably painless asphyxiation
before the flames have had a chance
to attack the bodies of the victims

it was not. This was only one of the

hours of tense straining to get that

scrap of sandwich which had served
him for a dinner, and he looked rather
stern, and then, partly because he was
a six-foot man-six foot inside as well
as outside-and partly because she
was distractingly pretty, he simply
said gently:

GLASS WORKS BURN.
Plant Is Damaged to the Extent of
100000.

San Francisco, May 1.-Fire early
today destroyed a large section of the
Illinois Pacific glass works at Fifteenth
and Harrison streets, in this city. Of
ficials of the company estimate the
loss at 100000. The fire is said to
have originated from a leak of oil
from the tanks which feed the huge
furnace of the plant with oil fuel.
The Illinois Pacific glass works was
the scene of a notable disa ster some
years ago. crowd of men and boys
had climbed to the glass roof of the
building to watch Thanksgiving day
game of football between the Univer-
sity of California and Stanford when
the framework collapsed. Scores were
precipitated into the works and a
dozen were burned to death on the
great furnace.
