TENDENCIES.

With Turkey as a constitutional govern
ment and China coming republic, the
twentieth century begins auspiciously as q
new era. England's great advance toward
mary and direct election are parts OF the
spirit that fills the air.
Back of it all Is the old doctrine or
human rights, which declares that govern
ment was made for man and not man
for government. Government sometimes
forgets this doctrine and acts as If man
was made for it. China has been running
on that idea and so has Turkey. and in
modified way, so have our Anglo-Saxon
friends, including ourselves We made a
great deal of grand doctrine of govern
ment for the people, of the people and by
the people, but forget it in many ways
The problem of the age is to put that
doctrine into practice, not as sentiment
merely, but as reality No man has a
right to get rich or loaf the public
treasure. Mankind is fighting that idea
everywhere. There is the tendency. In

For Third Time in Its History Valuable Property
is Wiped Out and Only Small Mill Will
be Rebuilt in Its Place
MANY men OUT OF EMPLOYMENT
Fire Occurred Monday Afternoon and Within
Two Hours the Mill Was Burned to the
Ground Nothing Could Save It.

Taber's saw mill was totally
destroyed late Monday after
noon by one of the most costly
fires in Keoknk S history.
Tie loss is estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000,
which is almost entirely cover
ed by insurance.
Seventy-tive men are thrown
out Of employment. The com
pany has announced that it
will build a smaller mill for
the purpose of saving the lum-
Der which is now on hand. The
supply will last for about two
years. The new mill may be
completed within sixty days.
The fire is the third in the
history Of the mill. The first
one occurred in the month of
October, 1870. The second one
was on October Is, 1889, when
the loss totalled 500, 100.
Complete Details of Fire.
According to men in the employ of
the mill the fire Is believed to have
started by belt catching from a
boxing about five minutes after four
o'clock in the lath mill. When the
lire was seen the blaze was a tiny
one overhead of the men working on
the first floor. John Sammons, mill
wright, is credited with having first
knowledge of it, for 1t burned the
cord to whistle which he was pull
Ing as signal to stop one of the
engines Almost Immediately William
Welsh and Thomas Hartley became
aware of the fire and accordingly turn
ed to the company's own fire system.
Before hose could be turned on, the
fre spread like train of powder and
the two men were unable to do any
effective work The entire fire sys.
tenn OF the mill was brought into play,
but had little or no effect whatever.
Men Escape BY Ladder.
Men working in the mill at the time
state that the rapidity with which
the tiny blaze sprang into one OF
great poDortions spelled certain doom
to the mill and its contents. Like
puff of powder it was off and men
ct work had to scramble to escape
from the building. On the upper
floor of the mill where the filers were
at work fire trap was almost formed
It was necessary to extend ladder
UP to those men to enable them to
escape.
B. G. Taber was in the office OF the
company at the time. He declares
II took him twenty seconds to reach
the building and by that time the
fre had spread so that he was unable

the exception of the Sixth street en-
CINE and the chemical and drivers
were out rolling up hose after another
ire, but when the alarm came every
thing was dropped and a hurried run
was made. When Chief Anderson and
his men arrived the blaze was one
which enveloped the entire mill and
much of the lumber and chutes near
by. Taber's men had attached their
own hose to some of the fire plugs
and were shooting streams that play
ed upon the roaring furnace with lit
tie Or no results.
Fire Chief Anderson ordered every
available piece of hose laid and
thousands OF feet we're brought into
play. The steamer was run to the
river nearly 1000 feet below the mill
and stream of water pumped by it.
For two hours the department worke
before the blaze was under control
and during this time most of the
efforts were lent In protecting the
lumber piles, offices, barns and other
structures in the immediate vicinity.
Iron Roof Held Flames.
That the entire lumber yard was not
destroyed is attributed to three things:
the fact that an iron roof on the saw
mill caused the flames to be kept
housed in; that there was only slight
wind from the river, and the excellent
work of the fire department in keep
ing the persistent flames from string
ing out from the fire center.
The heavy iron roof also performed
another valuable service. 1t did not
allow sparks to shoot from the fire,
there being practically no sparks at
all.
1t is estimated that 100000 feet of
lumber close to the saw mill which
was ready for shipment was burned
up. Much of this was in front of the
mill The fire spread to the sorting
works south of the mill and wiped
1t out, and likewise the long tramway
to the north.
Offices Endangered.
The tramway extending north by
means of which the lumber is load
ed onto the cars carried the blaze to
the offices of the company and it ap-
peared almost certain that these
buildings would go up also. The fire
came to such close range that the
front window panes were cracked and
broken and the entire front is blister
ed. When E. Carroll Taber saw the
danger he ordered everything of a
valuable nature, including papers, ETC.,
into the vaults and this was done in
| time to have saved them.
One car Of lumber to be shipped out
was burned. This was stationed on
the tracks in front of me rramway
The stables across the road from the
:! mill were likewise endangered, but
4 firemen were able to keep the fire
+ from extending in that direction even
! though the wind was blowing to carry
/ it that way.

several hours, 1t was also necessary
TO Keep a large crew at work during
the entire night. Nearly dozen lines
OF hose played on the flames during
the night, finally succeeding in COM
pletely checking it. During the Fourth

Many of them are at Fort Madison,

pitched voice amused everybody.
Mr.. Edwards as Malvolio, ser
want to Countess Olivia, was per
feet. He is one of the best
Shakesperian artists that has
visited Edmonton. Miss Eddy,
as Viola, played her part with
great success and won favor with
the audience. Mr.. McAllister,
as Orsino, Duke of Illyria, who
is in love with the Countess o.
ivia, was also good.
Mss Young as Olivia, was in
clined to get her words out as
fast as possible and was hardly
as digniied as one would expect
from the high countess. Never
theless her acting was good. AS
Martha, Miss McHugh scored a
success with her winning ways.
Mr.. Wareham as the clown kept
