The annual concert by the Second
Regiment band will ge held at the
Armory on Sunday, Feb. 9th. Elabo-
rate preparations for the event are being
made by Capt. Hofmeister and the men,
bers of this famous musical organization

Max Burg is putting on a novel stunt
in the way of utilizing his display window
space, by converting one corner of it.into
miniature cigar factory. A space has
been fenced off in accordance with the
requirements of the government and a
complete cigar factory of one-man
capacity for the present will be installed.
Passersby or patrons of the store may
watch the entire process of cigar making.
The snow and storm of the past few
days wrought havoc with the train SER
vice and there is hardly train on either
road anywhere near on time. Monday
morning no less than six freight trains
were stalled in the local yards of the
Northwestern and four yesterday morn
ing. The Candy line has been out of
business for the past two weeks, even the
rotary snow pillow sent out from Tracy
getting stuck in the drifts.
The fire department was called to the
Math. Schouweiller residence, corner of
jefferson and First North street, last
Sunday evening at o'clock, to ex-
tinguish blaze which evidently had it's
origin from a match thrown on the floor
in one of the upper rooms of the house.
The fire had already gained considerable
Roadway before the arrival of the de-
partment and would no doubt have
destroyed the entire house had the call
been delayed. Mr.. Schouweiller dis
covered the fire in dresser in an up-
stairs bedroom and at first attempted to
extinguish the blaze himself. When he
saw that the fire was gaining Roadway
the alarm was turned in. The firemen
found the room solid bank of smoke
and although the chemicals were directed
into the corner where the blaze had
started, the fire had spread to under the
roof and when this was noticed the
water was turned on with quick effect. -
The damage, as estimated by the
officers OF the department, will not exceed
$500 to the building itself, although the
damage to the contents probably will
amount to a similar amount, tie dresser
and it's contents being entirely destroyed.
