Largely because of public ignor-

scourge now proves fatal in over 80
per cent of the attacks.
Of the $4,000 deaths from this dis

about 10000 were deaths from can

ALICE FIRE IN THE
BERRY WAREHOUSE
TO Be INcEND|ARy

The warehouse in the rear of the
store of Chief of the Fire Department
w. w. Berry was discovered to be on
fire shortly after 10 o'clock Wednes-
day evening. Thick columns of smoke
gave evidence of the blaze within
Before the arrival of the fire depart
ment it had gained much Roadway
and was burning briskly amongst the
goods stored within
Evidence that the fire was of in
cendiary origin was found about the
building. The fact that an open win
dow with tracks in the snow under
meath, coupled with another fact that
several persons have previously been
seen proving about the place in the
dark, establishes the cause as ineen
diary without a doubt, according to
the authorities. And, too, no one had
been in the building since o'clock.
A great quantity of water was used
before the interior blaze was extin-
guished The damage to the goods
inside-wall paper, moulding and
Christmas goods-will amount to
about $4,000 according to Mr.. Berry's
best estimate, partially covered by in
surance The damage to the building
which is owned by Flora E. Barrows,
will amount to about $500 entirely
covered by insurance.
The building is a one-story frame
affair situated in the rear of the brick
block at 103 Main street, and rs used
entirely as store house. The all out
