CANANDA|CUA BLAZE.
Flour Mills and Ice House
Wiped Out by Fire.

Spontaneous Combustion Is Supposed
to Have Caused the confagratlon In
the Flour Mills While the Blaze In
the loe House Is Supposed to Have
Been Started by Tramps Smoking
In the Hay-other News Items.
Fenton & Hawkins Touring mills
and the large plant of the Canandai-
qua Lake Ice company were burned
within a few hours of each other SAT-
urday night. The mill fire is thought
to have been caused by spontaneous
combustion. The building was de-
7troyed with loss of about $4,000
and nearly $4,000 insurance. The On
tario mills upon the same site were
burned 26 years ago.
The fire in the ice house is thought
TO have been started by tramps smok-
ing in the hay. The loss Is about $h,-
600. In addition to the large ice
house, the adjoining barns and most
of the company's delivery wagons
were burned. Six horses were remoy-
ed from the barn, but one could not
be reached and perished. James Cum.
mings, former fire chief, was over

pital. Two other fremen, w. l.. Blake

The Mexicans have native brandy
called aguardiente. which is species
of liquid dynamite, as palatable as cor

tidl deviltry as an egg is of meat.
When you find a Mexican gentleman
adorned with belt full Of deadly
weapons decorating and deluging his
Interior with aguardiente 1t is the part
Of prudence to retire to a bombproof.
There is another tipple, white. inno-
cent looking fluid called mescal, which
is distilled from a cactus of the same
name, which has in 1t all the COM
bined energy. activity and homicidal
possibilities Of volcano mixed up
with the gable end of mule. In for
mer days the Apache Indians made a
crude distillation of the same stimu-
liant, which they called tis-win. and as
n preliminary to a raid among ranches
and settlements 1t was great success
from IN Indian point Of view.-Boston

Tered by many men for not attending
church the women of the First Meth

the Rev. Wallace f. Brown, who re-
ferred to the question at church serv-
Ice and especially as regards the lack
OF attendance on the part of men.
This he attributed to the complaint
that men make that they cannot see
the pastor because of the large hats
women wear.
In very tactful manner Mr.. Brown
made a suggestion that committee
OF women might be doing a great serv-
Ice to the church II they would take
some. action relative to the hat ques.
ton. Apparently none of the women
had the courage to introduce resolu-

Finally one of the men made a mo-
tion to the effect that the women re-
move their hats while attending
church services. 1t was seconded and
stipulated that only the women should
be allowed to vote. The men were
barred. The motion was carried by
a decided majority.
