~SEvEN HOURS in n. Y"
The Big Musical Comedy Coming to
The Opera House January 9Th.

1t is a pleasure to announce the
coming of a really worthy theatrical
entertainment. We are led to be-
Heve, judging from advance reports
received, that the musical play, "Sev-
en- Hours in New York." will prove
ito be worthy of patronage. The play
is said to be well written, with a
light, consistent plot. Much stress
is laid on the merit of the songs
which abound during the action of
the play. There is fine company, a
large and well drilled chorus, and a
complete scenic production. We are
of the opinion that Seven Hours in
New York" will prove enjoyable tc
all who attend The date here is

EAsTCOTT NAMED

RECEIVES UNANIMOUS CONFIRM
ATION-W. II. PRATT REAP
POINTED FIRE CHIEF AND
ORDINANCES PASSED.

Thomas Eastcott, cashier in the
Milwaukee freight depot, last even
ing was named by Mayor A. f. Hitch
cock as city auditor to succeed N. II.
Jensen, resigned, and received the
unanimous confirmation of the city
council.
Mr.. Eastcott will take over the Of
flee in the near future, as Mir. Jensen
desires to devote his entire time to
the duties of deputy United States
marshal. In making the nomination,
the mayor declared that the appoint
ment was given without solicitation
from Mr.. Eastcott and that he had
received numerous evidences of the
appointee's ability for the duties and
of his tact in handling business af-
fairs.
Another appointment of interest
was the naming of w. T. Pratt for
another term as fire chief and Carl
Fowler as assistant chief. The ap-
pointments followed the decision of
the council not to add another paid
member t. the fire department.
improvements to the waterworks
system aggregating $~3S.126.1O were
recommended by City Engineer Sid
II. Smith, who submitted his annual
report. The engineer declared that
the city should in the near future
construct a reservoir of Is, 900, 900
gallons capacity, costing $4,000; a
100. 900 gallon elevated tank 125 feet
high, costing $500; 6,49O feet of
10-inch water mains costing $10,-
70S.50; 1908 feet of S-inch water
mains costing S1.317.60; miscellan-
Ieous improvements estimated at So
500, and n deep we'll pump for the
old wells estimated at $4,000.
According to the engineers report,
the new we'll and turbine pump. has
practically rendered the three old
wells useless under the present con
ditions from its proximity. But very
little water is being pumped from the
old wells and to cover any emergen-
/. cies that might arise, he recommend.
ed the construction of a new reservoir
and standpipe to provide an adequate
reserve supply. In case the e pumI
should meet with mishap, he favored
: n new deep pump to draw water from
> one of the old wells. In the discussion
! that followed, the council informal.
I agreed to wait development until thu
next meeting, and then possibly ordel

construction must be adequately pro-,
tected. Roofs of buildings in the fire ,
limits shall be of incompatible ma

were given in the ordinance of the

all buildings to make them safe.
BY the provisions of the plumbing
ordinance, which was finally passed,
the office of inspector was created.
the inspector will inspect all water,

covered. Permits for plumbing work
must be secured at the office of the
city auditor. The ordinance makes
stringent regulations of the manner
in which work shall be done and the
quality of the plumbing material
used.
The amendment to the electrical
ordinance was placed upon it's first
reading. The fees for inspection were
revised and the license for work fixed
at 81, with a $1,000 bond for cleo
tricians.
The ordinance permitting j.. N.

OIL ON EMBERS
CAUSES DEATHS
STATE FOOD COMMISSIONERS
INVESTIGATE FATAL BURNING
OF TWO WOMEN AT
TlIRRAVILLE..

Vermillion, S. D.-The large num-
Der of accidental fires resulting from
the use OF kerosene and gasoline dur
ing recent months in South Dakota
and the serious injury and loss of life
attending the same, have led Food
and Drug Commissioner Frary to In
vestigate causes of the two fatal fires
in Te~rraville, S. ID. Inspector w. M.
Cox has just reported on these fires,
which occurred on April Is and May
i, causing the death of Mrs. Ida Turk
and Mrs. Elizabeth Matukonis. AS the
daily papers reported both the acct
dents due to the use of kerosene
Commissioner Frary, who is also in
spector of petroleum products( gas
oline and kerosene) for the state.
feared that kerosene having a lower
flashing point than allowed by law
might have caused the disasters, and
so sent Inspector Cox to make care
full investigation. Mr.. Cox found that
! all oil or kerosene sold in Te%rraville
was from a supply that had been IN
spected and passed, ana also found
that the cans from which the oil was
poured into the stoves by the %unfortu-
nate women could not have contain
ed gasoline as both used one gallon
cans and gasoline is sold in Terra
willie only in five gallon red cans
conforming with the state red can
law.
Both deaths were due to careless
and unwarranted use of kerosene for
kindling fires. The inspector found
that Mrs. Turk, who was but a little
more than 16 years old, rose at $3.50
on the morning of April is and pro-
ceeded to build a fire. She placed fuel
in the stove then poured on kerosene
and applied a match. The oil started
to burn but soon died out and Mrs
Turk, finding shortly that the fire
was not burning satisfactorily, took
the one gallon a of oil to the stove,
opened the lid and poured on oil
from the can. Embers in the stove
were sufficient to ignite the a which
had been formed from the oil first
used. This gas, being mixed with the
proper amount of air exploded VIC
lently, enveloping the woman in
flame. She was dressed only in hei
night clothes and these we're aflame
almost instantly. Her husbands eff
forts to subdue the fire were without
avail until she had been SO badl,
