General Passenger Agent Scott Visits
Ashland.

j. M. Scott, the genial general pas
senger agent for the S. P. system,
was in Ashland Thursday in the in
terest of his company and called on
the Tidings editor 1t is his policy
to keep in close touch with life and
activity along his lines, studying the
needs of the different communities
and to this end he makes frequent
visits to the cities within his terri
tory. The attitude of the railroads
to the people and the people to the
railroads is changing rapidly. AS the
needs of each become better under
stood by the other the real rights of
each are more fully recognized and
the true relation, that relation which
ought always to have existed between
the railroads and their patrons, is
becoming more fully realized and es-
tablished. No railroad can prosper
without the cooperation of the peo-
pie, and no community develops to
its fullness without a railroad.

FOURTH STREET FIRE |
Home Comfort Boarding House De-
stroyed and Other Buildings
Damaged Monday Night.

The Home Comfort Boarding
House." formerly the Throne room
ing house, and the Atlas Cleaning
Works, occupying a small building
adjoining, were totally destroyed by
fire Monday evening, the alarm be-
ing turned in about $3.50 O'Clock.
The fire. Mr.. Mahan, whose wife
ran the boarding mouse, states, orig
mated in the back room of the clean
ing works, which we're all ablaze be-
fore the inmates of the boarding
house knew anything about it. The
fire boys responded quickly, but for
me unexplained reason the press
ure on one of the two lines of hose
used was so poor that it was of little
use. The two dwellings adjoining.
one on each side of the burned
structures, were in great danger for
some time and the one to the south
was quite badly damaged through
the heat and the breaking of win
dows and throwing water into the
| house.
The boarding house was owned by
H. L. White and Mrs. A. G. Barham
/ formerly Mrs. Annie CASH and the
Atlas Cleaning Works building was
owned by E. L. Hacket of this city.
The value of the buildings burned
is problematical, both being some
what aged. The boarding house had
recently been repainted and fitted
up inside and was opened as a board
ing house by Mrs. E. j. Mahan
March /, after having been closed
for some months. She was just get
ting a good business started and
loses all her furniture as we'll as the
personal effects Of the family. They
figure the loss on furniture at about
$500, besides the loss of clothes and
keepsakes, etc.
The Atlas Cleaning Works were
owned and run by NJ. B. Wilson, who
with his family resided in the resi-
derce just south of the burned struc-
ture. They were living in furnished
rooms, so their loss at their home is
confined mostly to damaged wearing
apparel, etc, by being wet, lost or
destroyed in removal from the build
ing.
There was the usual number of
fool stunts in trying to "save" the
contents of the house south of the
burned structures, furniture being
thrown from the upstairs windows,
etc.
The attention of the crowd was
divided part of the time between
the fire and fight between Jack
Bailey and Bill Cottrell, the latter g
barber on Fourth street and a mem.
Der of the fire department.
The losses and insurance, so neal
as can be learned, were as follows:
The loss on the Home Comfort
Boarding House is about $4,000 or
building and $3.50 on furniture, with
an insurance of $1,000 on building
and $500 on furniture in the Bill
lings agency. Tho cleaning works
building was uninsured, the policy
having expired only short time age
and was not renewed.

DOES COAL CAUSE cANcER7

GOGo SotI 1SAOSE E6ICERY
The conclusion reached by Charles
e Green of Edinburgh that there is q
distinct relationship between the oc-
currence of cancer and the kind of fuel
used for domestic purposes was ae-
cepted as decisive by Sir William Ben
nett, the eminent surgeon in his presi-
Dental address at the meeting Of the
Coal Smoke Abatement Society In
London last week.
Sir William said investigation had
shown that the existence OF cancer
was limited to those whose areas
were where coal was the staple fuel,
while 1t was almost nonexistent where
ordinary peat alone was used. The
only exception yet discovered to this
rule. he declared. was in districts
where the peat was a hard. black sub
stance which cracked ike coal and
was quite unlike the smoldering or.
binary peat. Sir William Bennett in
conclusion spoke strongly in favor OF
a substitute for coal.

KILLING The INcuRARLE.

A question which was widely dis

Put the Incurable MercifulIy to Rest?.
has come up Grain. An editorial writ
er in American Medicine, In discussing
the question, docs not believe 1t pos
sible t., determine who are the in
durable. Hence to administer euthan-
asia to sufferer is also to run the
risk OF extinguishing a life that might
have been saved. Condemnation Of
leuthanasta, We are told, is necessary
pretty often because this criminal
suggestion is made every little while
by some rattle-brained writer who
lmagines that physicians should XIII
all they think they can not cure" He
goes on:
In the first place, the basic purpose
OF the medical profession is to pro-
long life, not to end it. We never
can cure any one, that is, we can not
put sick man back to the exact con-
Idstion he was In prior to his illness.
Every sickness disturbs the delicate
balance of functions permanently and
reduces ability to resist the adversfties
OF life. Our duty is TO try to make
him regfst better and longer. Nor can
we ever tell how long any one will
live. Some cases which we confident
lly expect TO live many years will sud
denly collapse, and the most desper-
ate. apparently moribund. cases may
react and outlive those who would
have administered enthanasia were It
legal. The basic absu.ditT In the
proposition is the assumption that any
sick man ever believes that life is not
worth the living. In temporary de-
Ilirium, one may pray for death and
/ beg bystanders to kill him, but we
rnust look on those statemtnts as we
do the suicidal mania Of the insane

ming, and the nearer We approach the
end the less We dread It, The very

Low and High Water Marks.

Authentic low water marks are nat
uraily hard to get for as they are COW
cred by water for years in succession
people forget them in time and they
are lost. On the other hand high wat
er marks are common as the river
leaves them conspicuously on trees
and buildings and they are often cut
into the woodwork Of windows and
,1oors and even dated. SO this trip
on the little Louisa was, 1t might be
said, the beginning of the real engi-
neering OF tho upper Mississippi i'm

At that time the river above La
Crosse was considered unavailable
for large boats when low water came.
Not unusual low waters Ike that OF

autumn months The large side wheel
boats did not try to get above La
Crosse but either transferred their
freight and passengers to such shall
