A FIRE SCARE
Will Rein Narrowly Escaped Being
Homeless Last Thursday

The fire bell rang out last Thursday
afternoon for the first time in many
months The alarm, came from the
vicinity of Will Rezins house near
Athletic park. The fire department
turned out with carts and ladders but
when they got to the place the FIRE
was out so no water was turned on.
One must not infer from the latter
statement that the fire was not a
threatening one tor il was and Mr.
Rein escaped very serious fire, If,
indeed, the entire destruction of his
property by hair breath
Mrs. Rein went away about IL 90
o'clock and was not at home when the
fire was discovered Her neighbor,
Mrs Edyvean. didn't know she had
gone and after several attempts TO get
her 10y telephone, the attempts being
many hours aparL, she took notion to
run over to the house TO see why Mrs.
Rein had not answered She found
the door locked but heard the two dogs
inside making an unsual racket so she
loked in at the window and saw that
the house was tiled with smoke and
the dogs were making the racket be-
cause they were nearly suiTocated.
She Immediately gave the alarm and
Mr. Gill, who lives next door, went
at once to the house, got in through
the window aud released the dogs A
few pals OF water put out the fire
which had started in front Of the cook
stove, evidently by spark from the
stove, had burned a hole about foot
in diameter clean through the hatd-
wood and sparks had dropped down
into the basement nto box Of rags
that had been set atirc thereby
Mrs Rein had closed .he house up
tight when she left home in the
morning and it was this fact that saved
the property as no air got in TO fan the
flames The building was insured but

OF the clothing and rooms, much Of il
such that insurance cannot compensate

Mr. Rein was away from home at
the time and didn't know of the fire
until he came back the next forenoon.

CITY FATHERS MET
Light Run of Business at Monday
Nights Meeting

The meeting OF the city council, held
last Monday night, was devoid of any
special interest. The bills presented
during the previous month were
audited and allowed where just.
A complaint frcm Joe Shinka be-
cause of the flooding of his land by the
Maple Grove storm sewer was presented
by Nathan Warshawksy and the city
promised 10 investipate and if the
nuisance was as represented, 20 cure
it,
A couple of petitions for short
lateral sewers were sent TO the council
by residents and the same were referred
to the committees for approval.
The bids on the remainder of the
sewer were presented and opened and
after being figured mp by Engineer
Rollin the contract was awarded to
Boyle d Go.
Engineer Rollin recommended a
change in the sewer methods whereby
the city shall build the sewer TO the
curb for a consideration to be estab-
lished and thus give the city the
supervision over the digging up of its
streets and all connections.

WAR REPORTS
CONFLICTING
GERMANS SEEM TO BE STEADILY
ADVANCING ACROSS FRANCE
BRITISH SUPREME AT SEA
Russians sre Said to be Sweeping
Across Germany But the Ger
mans Claim Victories

The heavy veil that has been drawn
over the war maneuvers in Europe
since the troops began to mobalize arr
still in effect and as a result the out.
side world knows but very little of the
actual conditions that reign in the
war zone. The daily papers OF this
country are filled with war news. sC
called but careful reading and COM
parison Of the day-to. day bulletins
leads one TO the conclusion that so far
as any changes in condition are con,
cerned, they might as we'll stereotype
their headlines and use the same each
day. Only the general inference OF
conditions can be CLEANED and those
inference must be from the considera-
tion Of the statements issued by the
war departments of the several govern.
ments, not from the new agencies.
For that reason the weekly papers can
give their readers about as much and
as up.to.date news as can the big
dailies.
GERMANS ADVANCE WEST
The Germans seem 10 be steadily adj
vancing towards the French capital
How much fighting there has been
done and how many men have been
wounded and killed can only be guessed
at Each side seems to be exag
gerating the casualties of the other.
The admissions made by the English
and French governments as to the
change Of position indicates clearly a
retreating movement.
QUESTION AS TO RUSSIANS
The Russian dispatches claim that
the armies of the car are sweeping
over eastern Prussia and that the
Austrians and Germans opposing the
big bear are being brushed aside. The
news given out by Berlin is of another
character and claims several important
victories. IL is quite probable
that the Russian advance is just about
beginning as the Russians are known
TO be very slow in mobalizing and
that the present movements 10 eastern
Prussia are similar 10 the early engage
ments in Belgium where the advance
guard Of the nam army fought many
important skirmishes but no very
important battles.
The explanation given out by the
German am AMBASSADOR at Berlin undoubt-
edly contains much fact He explains
.hat eastern Prussia is comparatively
fiat country and unprotected by forts /;
that the first important line of fortif-
cations are along the Vistula river and
that the important battles will be
fought when that line Of defense is
reached
ARMIES GREAT HOSTS
The statement issued by Lord Roberts
Of the English war department that
England will need hundreds of thou
sands OF men to successfully combat
the Germans brought the English
people both in England and America
smack up against the first realization
OF the immense bodies of men Germany
mas In the field and moving IL is
beyond comprehension Newspapers
talk of Russian millions but il is very
doubtful that any such uumber as IS
stated are actually afoot IL is a
hurcelean task TO feed the number
credited ~ Russia, not 70 speak Of
