LINDEN'S BIG FIRE.

Last week this paper noted that our
neighboring village Linden had a de-
structive fire, bat we were unable to
give particulars Following are some
furnished by Harley Hicks:
At LAO p. M, on Tuesday night fire
was discovered in the Hotel Hicks
building. 1t originated in between the
floor of second story, making it difficult
to get at and the smoke being SO dense
in all parts of the building it was inn
possible to get il under control.
Mr.. Henry Walker, owner of the
building and proprietor OF the hotel,
lost pract cally everything. only little
furniture being saved from the first
floor. II turned about forty people in
to the street with no place to 60
The store room was occupied by the
Linden Co-operated Co, handling gen
eral merchandise. Some Of the goods
was removed bat mostly watersoaked.
This is great loss to the town as
well as to individuals concerned, as it
was the largest and best equipped
building in town.

STUPENDOUS PRODUCTION
Such is the General Verdict of Those
who Witnessed the Photoplay En-
titled Birth of Nation" in Our
City Last Week.
Orchestra Skm Charming feature.

| Citizens Of Mineral Point and many
Of adjacent towns have finally realized
what they have been long clamoring
for an opportunity TO witness the
photoplay entitled ''The Birth of q Ma
ton" 1t was staged. or curtained.
six times. three of them being matt
nees, and with one exception, the first
matinee, our beautiful and commodious
municipal theatre was filled to over
| flowing. Fridays trains brought in
from two to three hundred deni2ens
from surrounding communities. and
Saturdays trains from three to four
hundred, while many who do not live
on the railway lines came by other
means of travel. Residents of this
city turned out quite thoroughly, some
twice.
The general verdict is that it was q
stupendous production a miracle spell
binding and thrilling, perpetually &C
companied by the charm Of a skilled
orchestra.
There is disposition, one not unrea-
sonable. on the part of the thousands
who witnessed the flashing CT scenes of
horror and herois;n on canvas, to praise
the magnificence thereof. But, after
giving it the greatest praise the most
fluent tongue could utter, wouldn't
there be still lacking vital and historic
facts when the title Birth of Ma
ton is taken into consideration ?
Wouldn't it have been more acceptable,
more approved, more accurate, were it
spiced with Unionism by scene of
Sheridan's twenty mile ride; of the
horrors of Libby and Andersonville
prisons with their Unions soldiers so
week they could hardly stand and so
thin they could scarcely make sha
dow; of Hancock's and Logan's gal
lantry in the front line of battle and at
the mouth of the belching cannon; of
Bragg and his Iron Brigade; of the
assassination of the Gallant Ellsworth

srsSN'ng the stairs of hotel in Alex

ton of dignity and af1iuence at the

escape out of Georgia with the aim of
reaching Cnba; and Of other heroic eff
forts of Union defenders, if necessary,
to prove that they, rather than the
Ku-Klux- Khan, created new. perpet-
ual and glorious Nation
While this is merely suggestion,
there is little doubt but what it will
meet with a general endorsement by
historians and patriots.
The people are liberal with praise OF
the company giving the show and of
the talent and skill necessary to perfect
the pictures, but this praise is no more
pronounced than that Of the company
for our theatre and our people. For
such satisfied condition on all sides
thanks are due the local managers of
the theatre, as through their efforts
alone was it made possible.
