FIRE BREAKS OUT TWICE
IN The SAME BUILDING
STORE OF WILLIAM TETO ON
MINNESOTA STREET DAMAGED,
Flames Start Afresh After Having
Once Been Put Out by Firemen.

The Hancock fire department was
called out twice last night to combat
flames that had broken out I'm the gro
Gerry store of William Teto on MINES
ota street formerly occupied by the
Laborer's Commercial company. The
first alarm was sent in at about 1890
O'Clock and a quick run was made by
the firemcn who suppressed the flames
In short order. The fire was apparent
ly entirely extinguished, but watchers
remained to watch Il and guard
against further outbreaks. In spite
of their vigilance the fire stole
march on them and they were sudden
ly aware of n cracklig sound i'm the
roof and on investigation IL was found
that the entire roof was ablaze. 1t
made rapid progress and was blazing
stubbornly when the department ar
rived for the second time at about half
past two o'clock. Three streams of
water from adjacent hydrants were
played upon the burning building and
the chemical engine did splendid SER
vice In quenching the flames that had
spread To a barn I'm the rear of the
store. The rain which had fallen
steadily all the afternoon and evening
had wet neighboring buildings so that
they We're rendered comparatively safe
from the flying sparks from the blaz-
ing roof of the Teto building. to which
the flremen succeeded i'm combining the
fire.
The origin of the fire is not known
but is supposed To have started from
some oil barrels. The loss to the
building from fire will be about $1,000,
in addition to which the stock was
partially ruined by the water.

friends of the doctor from his sister,
Miss Louise Jackola, from his old
home in Finland
The letters received from Jackola's
relatives manifest the greatest anxiety
as To his whereabouts, and both his
mother and sister beg to be advised
of anything new bearing on his dis
appearance. The doctors friends I'm
Duluth confess themselves baffled as
investigation of every clue that might
tend to dissipate the mystery of his
disappearance has so far been without
results.
The disposition of the story that the
letters received by his relatives has
had the effect of leading his Duluth
friends who entertained the theory
that he wandered into the woods in a
demented condition and suicided to in
cline more strongly to this belief
Still others are of the opinion that
he is living and will some day be
heard from.

each of the spinning frames. This is
done to remove any possible fumes and
to provide thorough ventilation for the
operatives.
One OF the interesting features in
connection with the entire operation is
the fact that the yarn is handled as
little as possible. The specially con-
structed stoves and bleaching arrange
ments are ideal, and when the skeins
are finally carried to the large drying
room on the fifth floor one marvels at
tie change which has so rapidly taken
place. From here they are taken to

FouR-ELEA POWER IN WATCH.
Most Delicate instrument OF Same

Few pieces of machinery show moro

watch. AS q general proposition II
may be stated that watch Is the
smallest. most delicate instrument of

ever been devised. About 175 differ
ent pieces OF material enter into it's
construction and upwards of 2,4OO
separate operations are comprised In
it's manufacture.
Certain OF the facts connected with
it's performance are almost Incredible

years, the period for which a watch
is usually guaranteed to keep good
time.
But the wonder of It does not cease
here. IL has been calculated that the
power that moves the watch Is equiv
