'one of the most original and
captivating speakers who ever
stepped on a platform, and per-

Hardware Company Losers.

Eugene, Ore, Jan. Damage
$4,000 to the Odd Fellows White
Temple and probably $4,000 to the
stock of the Elliott hardware store re-
suited last night as the result of a
fire that broke out in the machine oil
room and gutted the basement The
hardware stock of the main floor is
water-soaked and also damaged by
smoke.
The fire was a particularly stub
horn one, resisting the efforts Of the
firemen for several hours. Danny
Marsters, the elevator boy, warned the
tenants on the second and third floors
and carried out all of them, stopping
the elevator flush with the first floor
and cutting off spread Of the fire to
the upper stories.
The loss is fully covered by insur-
ance. The Odd Fellows building is
one of the handsomest in Eugene, five
stories high, of white pressed brick
and was erected four years ago.

AN UNUSUAL CATCH
IN BOONE river
Fish Caught by Member Of Klein
Family is Supposed to be
Water Dog

A fish which looked as II it might
be water dog" was caught in the
Boone river recently by one of the
members of the F. Klein family, who
reside about one mile north of town.
The fish was on the order of pick
erel, until upon closer scrutiny,
it was seen to have four legs,
two in front and two behind. Its
tail was like good sized paddle. Its
ears were good sized and were cover
ed with hair, while it had black
beady eyes and claws as sharp as
needles. 1t was spotted and probab-
ly foot in length.
So far as is known, water dog
has never been caught in Iowa. They
have been found in the waters OF
Missouri and Wisconsin, however.
and are said to be deadly poison and
as treacherous as a rattlesnake. The
dictionary calls the water dog" a
menobranchus and defines it as a
large aquatic American salamander
Of the genus necturus, having per
manent external gills. These fish
are seldom found anywhere but in
the sea.
