Mason City, Dec. 16.-Fire at :
o'clock this morning totally destroyed

building is owned by Free e. Keller

Sanders cafe will probably be about
$1,000, while a more severe loss will
fall to Bays Bros. The second floor
was occupied by e. r. Bogardus. archf-

with a number Of oomer in the rear.
The fire started in the basement OF the
Sanders cafe and the fire company
fought for five hours before the fire
could be controlled. Severy roonlers
barely got out Of their rooms before
the smoke was so dense that assistance
could not have been rendered.
The city well No. s, n of the wells
which gives most supply to the sys-
tenn, gave out Friday last and has not
yet been repaired. Fortunately he
railroad systems centering here had all
been shut off and the reservoir was
filled when the fire was discovered.
The supply and the pressure could
not have been better. For several
hours it looked as If the city would have
a fire equal to that Of Jan. 6 last. when
the entire Century block and the Cen
fury annex were destroyed.
The total damage of last nights hre
will not exceed 500. 900. and this is Gov

Council Bluffs. Dec. 16.-Wrapped In
an old veil and a gray blanket, a V
baby girl, apparently about a week old,
was found in a clump Of willows about
100 yards north Of the east approach OF
the motor bridge Monday noon. 1ndi-
catit are that the child had been out

who happened to be hunting along the
river bank when they were. attracted
by the Infants crying. The boys
thought h noise was made by an owl
and going to investigate, found the
bundle which contained the baby.
The police were notified and the
abandoned child was taken to the
CT eche. An inspection there brought
the authorities to believe the child had
been left in the willows Sunday night
and had spent the entire night in the
open with nothing around it but the
blanket and veil. She had no clothing
except a pair of black stockings.
It IS the opinion OF the police the
child was left there by some person
from Omaha. Had It spent another
twelve hours in the willows 1t would
have probably been dead and as it is.
there are grave doubts Of Its ever re-
covering from the exposure.

MAKES RULING EXPLICIT
Supreme Court Submits Amended Opin.
ion Holding General Elections Arc
Basis Of Saloon Petitions Of Con.

Des Moines. Dec. 16.-Any UNDER
standing that a general election is not
a sufficient basis for a statement Of
consent for the operation Of saloons
which may have been created by the
original opinion in the Fit. Dodge case
was shown to be in error when the
supreme court yesterday filed it's
amended opinion.
The court used different language
and particularly specifies that either a
city election or a general election may
be sufficient, it being necessary only
that the election be the last held in
the city.
1t is noticeable that Justice Gaynor
in rewriting the opinion has constant
~ avoided use Of the term city cleo
ton" by itself, which in the original
opinion was the Source Of the under
standing that only q city election
might be used as the basis for a con-
sent petition. The term used in the
new opinion is election in the city"
and it is each time carefully quail
fed with a statement to the effect that
the election may be a general election
as we'll as one for the election Of city
officers alone.
To many who were expecting that
the court would merely say that the
sufficiency of a general election was
not involved in the Fort Dodge case,
the ruling will be something OF q
surprise. Specific as it is, 1t leaves no
doubt as to the courts position that a
general election is equally sufficient
with a city election.

Des Moines, Dec. -16.-State Fire
Marshal OILS G., Roe has issued a time
ly holiday fire warning, addressed to
merchants, parents and committees in
charge OF church and other public fes-
tivities. The Christmas season always
increases the hazard of fires. because
OF the inhanfable nature Of decorations,
the assembling Of crowds and prone
ness to ;carelessness during the rush
and excitement Of the. holidays. Mr..
Roe's suggestions follow:
TO Merchants:
,In1amnahle decorations increase the
the fire Hazard. .s
Look out for the wiring Of your cleo
trio DECORATIONS.
Keep fire ex%tinguishers in condition
for instant use.
Watch the smoker and his cigar, and
the ubiquitous match.
Protect your lights. A breeze may
blow a f1imsy fabric against an unpro-
tected light and start a fire.
Guard against spontaneous combus-
ton among your piles of holiday
goods, by providing for reasonable VEN
tilation.
Impress upon each one OF your m
ployes the Importance of exercising
the utmost care in guarding against
fire.
Clean up your packing rooms and
Easements daily. Excelsior and wrap
ping paper are highly 1nf1ammable.
Permit no amount Of "busy-ness" to in
terfere with this precaution.
Safety First"
To Parents:
iniammable Christmas decorations
often cause destructive fires in home
and church.
Don't hang tissue paper bells or
other inf1ammahle decorations in close
proximity to a light or fire.
Don't use a quantity OF highly in
fammable cotton TO represent snow.
Asbestos fiber makes fine snow and
will not burn.
Santa Claus should not wear cotton
whiskers. Many a life has been lost
by fire starting in sue adornment.
Decorations that will burn have no
place on a Christmas tree. Use tinsel
or other non-tn1ammable material.
Children should not experiment with
matches and candles or other things
which produce fire.
Don't hang celluloid presents on the
Christmas tree nor place them any
where near a fire or light. Celluloid is
among the most inflammable OF sub
stances.
l. Watch the tree closely as long as the
candles ade lighted and have menas at
candles ade lighted and have means at
may start among the branches.
Set the tree securely SO that 1t can't
tip over. Don't let the children light
the candles.
Inquire as to the safety Of the places
OF amusement which your children may
attend during the crowded holiday sea-
SON.
Don't let the holiday spirit make you
careless in the matter OF guarding
against fire.
