$4,000. Immediately the Congrega-

These two churches with the two halls
Of the city. 1t is expected will furnish

Water Pressure Poor.
School had closed on the 22d Of De-
cember for a two weeks vacation. The
janitor had been in the building Sat-
urday and had thawed out some pipes.
Some of the excelsior caught fire and
he put this out, at least he supposed
he did. He left the building about 6
o'clock and went home to supper.
While there he received word that the
school house was on fire and he rushed
over to find that in the upper rooms a
fierce. fire was raging. There was
nothing he could do but to give the
alarm, which he did. The fire company
responded but there did not seem to
be any water pressure Of consequence.
The cold was intense. the thermometer
at this time standing about 20 below
zero. After some time the pressure
was better. but it came too late. Be-
fore there was adequate force to do
effectual fighting the building seemed
to be enveloped completely. Hundreds
Of people, in the cold, frosty. night,
watched the destruction of this build
ing, which meant much to them. At
about II o'clock the roof fellcin. At 2
o'clock there was nothing left of the
structure but lettering walls. and these
had fallen In places. Two carloads Of
coal had just been put In the bins and
this will burn for several days. This
4. tho op1y school building in tho cifv
contained eighteen rooms with twelve
grades, and is fully accredited.
One of the regrettable features of the
fire is the fact that only $4,000 in in

will lose $4,000 by this fire besides the

Ames, Jan. s.-Hundreds of pro-

enthusiastic about alfalfa. They had
their eyes opened to the value of this
forage crop on Alfalfa Day" and
they have almost to a man promised

Back Of this new interest in alfalfa
was the days work of President A. p.
Circuit. of the Illinois Alfalfa Grow
ers' Association. who was brought
here by the agronomy department to
lecture to the short course classes and
speak to a night mass meeting. From
Mr.. Grout the young men caught the
sentiment expressed by Ex-Governor
Hoard, of Wisconsin,, who said that
the alfalfa movement is the most i'm

Mr.. CIRCUITS addresses were based
on his own experience with alfalfa.
In September, 1870" he said, Il

five acres in extent. In spite of the
