Costly Fire Monday Night.

The stock OF furs of Frank Varga
in tIa Be!lehumeur block opposite the
city hall was nearly wiped out by a
fire that broke out in the building alb
out nine O'Clock Monday night. When
discovered by VIM. Maxi, the clothing
merchant who was passing on the
street, the entire store was in flames.
There are various theories as to the
origin of the fire Mr.. Varga is of the
opinion that leaking gas caused the
blaze, others say it started from defec
tive wiring and some claimit was eau
sed by spontaneous combustion. The
progress of flames was accelerated by
the pres ace OF naphthaline, "A moth
preventative in the furs. Mr. Narga
and a number of others left the store
at S:20 MI and Mrs. John Nissula,
occupying rooms upstairs, heard an
explosion in the store, then detected
smoke and telephoned othe firemen.
Mr.. Varga had a large stock, and the
store contained many furs for remods
cling, belonging TO patrons. He esti-
mates the loss at 50 900, on which he
carried insurance of $4,000. Much
sympathy is felt for Mr.. Varga, but
he is undismayed in his misfortune
and plans to reopen his store in about
two weeks. --Ironwood News Record,

The city officials of IrOnwood have
done much to relieve the labor situa-
ton when they ordered that sewer
work in the city be started at once so
that as many of the city's unemploy-
ed as possible may be given work.
Ironwood taxpayers and members of
the family will be employed on the
lob. and that extensive work along
this line will be carried on may be
gathered from the fact that Morgan
Company of Hurley have contracted
to furnish the city with two miles OF
sewer pipe.
