age Is Considerable.

The members of the local fire de
partment spent the last hours of the
old year and the first hour of the new
year in fighting fire. with the Their
mometer trifling with the zero mark
and the wind cutting their faces with
the cold spray. The fire was located
In the building of the Rock Island
Transportation company, 21S Twenty
fourth street, and had an unknown
origin about half past seven. The de-
partment made a quick run to the
scene and the flames were shooting
high before they arrived. The frame
building, covered with tar and sheet
iron, was hard to get as the fire was
located almost entirely inside the
structure.
OTHER BUILDINGS IN DANGER.
The building was practically de
stroyed but no figures as to the prob
able amount of damage were given
out. The building is located back OF
the Hammond Meat company's build
ing at the foot of the viaduct and for
time it was feared that the flames
might reach other buildings near about

partment saved them. 1t was past
midnight when the wagons returned
to the hose houses and the firemer
were able to obtain their well earned
rest.

Nation, Ill.,, Jan. This town is
talking of nothing but the thrilling
adventure of Dr. Ed Summers in the
Palmer house at Chicago, The story
Dr.. Summers tells is as follows:
Thursday afternoon 1 was in my
room at the Palmer house. At 3
o'clock a negro raped at my door.
He asked if l was not gentleman
from Missouri. I assured him he was
mistaken. He wanted to come in to
fix the telephone but shut the door
and locked it.
"Ten or Is minutes later there was
another rap at the door. AS l opened
it a big pistol was showed in my face.
The big negro who hal appeared be-
fore showed me back into my room
with a warning that he would kill me

pockets and then compelled me to as

| hypodermlc syringe.
TIED TO BED AND GAGGED.
Then the negro stripped the bed
to the mattress and made me lie
down on it. He put pillow uuder my
head and proceeded to bind me. He
tied my feet with my belt. He tied
my hands with the drawstring from
my pajamas. He twisted a sleeve
from the same garments into a rope
with which to gag me. He finished by
trusting me up with ropes made OF
the sheets.
when he thought I was securely
fastened, he asked me if my watch
and syringe were valuable | told
him they weren't He returned them.
He said: If get caught it will mean
90 years for me. I'm going to stand
outside for a few minutes. If you
make noise I'm coming back in here
to kill YOU And with those words
he left me.

The cod Of Love.

Almost as ancient as the earth her
self was Eros, the personifcation Of
love. Hesiod relates that he was
among the first Of existing things and
that he assisted the earth in bringing
forth from chaos the earliest forms Of
life and beauty. Aristophsnes and 9TH
ers wrote Of Eros as the son OF night.
Later poets sang Of him as the son of
Ares and AphrOdite and honored him
as the sweet minded promoter OF hu-
man affections. They represented him
as a fair faced boy winged and carry
ing a bow with which to in1ict sweet
wounds upon those who came within
range. Nor has Eros ceased TO exist
even in this practical age. for to this
day the poets sing Of this little winged
god as skillful and as pitiless as in the
days OF old. The philosophic myth Of
Eros and Psyche IS one Of the most
beautiful Of the ancient allegOries.-
