CIGAR STORE HAS
$4,000 BLAZE
Big Stock of MCInerny &
Ooran Ruined by Smoke
and Water.

Fire was started from an unknown
source in the basement Of the Nc
Inernv and Doran cigar store. 126
w. Washington av., Thursday night
caused a loss OF over $4,000 worth
OF stock.
Cigars. tobaccos and perishable
stock were piled high in the base
ment and the entire lot was al
most completely ruined by the smoke
or by the water thrown on by the
fire lads.
Smoke Gives Battle.
Great dense clouds of sitting
smoke poured out of the cellar and
enGulfed the firemen who we're try
ing 10 locate the flame in the base
ment. No man could work for more
than FIVE or six minutes when he
would dash for airs and a new man
take his place. Holes had to he
chopped in the floor of the store 20
permit the smoke TO get out Of the
basement and give the firemen a
chance TO fight the blaze. II was
three-quarters OF an hour after the
firemen arrived before they had the
blaze under control and the store
cleared OF smoke
Ralph Jackson. employed as care
taker in the pool room. noticed a
thin wreath of smoke curling up the
back stairway and notified r. b
McInerny who was in the front OF
the store. The two made their way
TO the basement and saw the blaze.
but had no water with which 10
fight il.
Blaze Spreads Quickly.
The fire department was sent for
and before they arrived. the store
was filed with the choking smoke.
so quick did the fire spread. Lines
OF hose were run into the basement
from the front and rear OF the store
and gradually the two streams got
the better of the fire.
+. Il. Doran said that practically
the entire stock of the establish
ment. an extraordinarily large one.
was in the basement at the time of
the fire. He placed the loss at over
$25. 900, a part of which was COW
cred by insurance.
Investigation. Of the premises 10y
Fire Chief Sibrel failed to reveal
the cause of the blaze. which is be-
lieved to have started i'm the joists
of the basement near the middle Of
the store. BY the time the smoke
could reach the back stairway and
become noticeable the fire had plen-
ty of opportunity to spread.

Trend Following Reports of Cron
Damage in Oklahoma

Chicago, May 3.-Reports confirming
green bug damage to the Oklahoma
crop turned the wheat market upgrade
today Initial declines were ascribed
10 improved weather in the northwest
and better outlook for spring seeding
Liverpool advices that arrivals were
inadequate and that shipments from
india had been stopped tended to lift
prices. The opening which ranged
from sc off to a c up with May at LA
from sc off to &c up with May at
LAS to lis and July at 1.15&t to
lI61s were followed by a moderate
upturn all around.
Subsequent reports that prices of
Manitoba wheat at Liverpool had I'M
dergone decline led to a material set
back here. The effect though failed
to last, being more than offset by ex-
port sales aggregating 100000 bush
els and by assertions that the Hessian
fly in Illinois had caused some plow-
ing up of fields. The close was firm,
/ sc to &c net higher, with May at
l1512 and July at 1.16& @116kc.
Corn sagged in sympathy with the
early weakness Of wheat but showed
no power to rally except in the May
option which was being purchased by
! elevator interests. After opening I'M
changed to &c down prices averaged
Slightly lower than yesterdays finish
Fair warmer weather prevented
any decided advance. The close was
steady, unchanged to sc higher.
Oats eased off owing to the bearish
action of corn. Buying was scattered
Larger receipts Of hogs than expect
ed led to declines in provisions.

ALEDO AT A GLANCE
Daily Dongs in Mercer Countys Busy Capital
Represented in Literary Events

William and Vashti college will send
four representatives to Rock Island
May and to take part in the literary
contests to be held there at that time
by the Illinois Association of Literary
societies. Miss Anna Hebel will en-
resent William and Vashti in the girls,
declamatory contest; Olive Matchneer
in the piano contest, and Mildred
Phillips, in the essay contest Resides
the three young ladies, Carl Swanson
will uphold the local school in the
boys declamatory contest. This is
Vashti's third year as a member of tho
Illinois Association Of Literary So
cieties. Two years ago Thomas Bartlp
won second place in the boys orator
iCal event. Last year Miss Hebel and
Miss Lois Vertrees placed third in the
girls oratorical contest and girls
declamatory contest respectively, Six
teen schools were represented last wear
and William and Vashti was the only
small college that placed. Miss Hebe,
was, at last years meeting, elected
vice president for 1915-1916. At that
time a desire that the contest this
year be held at William and Vashti
was expressed, but it was not conven-
lent to extend the invitation then.
After careful consideration, how
ever, it has been decided to tender
the invitation for next years contests
to be held here. Should the invita-
ton be accepted it will mean great
| deal of work and expense to the Lit
erary society of William and vashti.
1t will necessitate the buying of all
! medals for the contests, and the en-
tertainment of at least so guests from
different colleges and universities
throughout the state. Should these
contests be held in Aledo next year it
| will be an excellent means of boost
ing the college.

session of the board Of supervisors.
ex-County Attorney Fred VOllmer was
allowed s7S0.59 for office rent. station
cry, etc, during his two terms of
Office. The filing of Mr. Vollmer's
claim on the county was the result o.:
the visit of the state examiners to Dav-
export, last fall. In checking over the
books of the court house officers they
found $3.50 to be due the county from
the county attorneys Office for the
years 1911 to 1914 inclusive. This
was for commissions on bonds and
fines. Wishing to abide by the law, the
supervisors requested Attorney Voll-
mer to make good this amount. He
filed a counter claim of $1,263.60 for
his Office rent, stationery, telephone
and other bills which he incurred. He
was justified in making this claim as
other counties in the state are allow
ing many times this amount for office
rent and the attorney general has up
held their acts.
