Destroyed Regulator House
Of The Ohio Fuel
FfGderiCktOWn And Local Fac
tories Cut Off From
Gas Supply

Fredericktown was cut off from its
gas supply for about two hours and
half Wednesday morning, while the
G. G. G. Cooper Co., the Mt. Vernon
Bridge Co., and the Ohio Light &
Power Co., were likewise affected,
only for longer periods, as the result
of the burning of the regulator house
of the Ohio Fuel Supply Co. near the
B. &c o. crossing on the Granville
road early Wednesday morning.
The cause Of the fire is unknown.
1t was discovered about $3.50 o'clock
by Carl Brent, who was awakened by
the intensely bright flames shooting
up from the house. He sent in an
alarm and employees of the Ohio FUEL
Supply Co. rushed to the scene. The
flames Illuminated the entire sky and
various residents of the city who
arose early were of the opinion that
there was wholesale confagration
in South Vernon.
~ CAJln6ulSH Iu6 uE0 WAS Lu6 WOIh
of only few moments, as the gas
was shut off Immediately. The fire
burned a mere ten minutes but the
damage was considerable. The regu-
lator house, 10x12 structure, was
gutted and numerous fittings were
rendered useless.
The entire repair force of the COM
pany in the city was soon at work,
and shortly before o'clock, gas was
restored to Fredericktown. The man
ufacturing plants likewise affected
were not so fortunate, and it was not
until afternoon that they received
gas again.
The origin of the fire is myster-
ious. There were no lights Of any
description near the regulator house,
and of necessity some outside force
must have originated the fire. A
burning cigar stub might have done
the work, or the act might have been
malicious. The company is investi-
eating and will leave no stone un-
turned to determine the origin.

banqueters such a surprise that there
was not a complete response; how.
ever, led by Stream waving his hat,
many gave the cheers.
The banquet was set for $3.50, and
was started a few minutes after that
time. Mr.. Herrick came in on the

he had stopped for a few hours. He
was accompanied by Postmaster

BAD BURNS SUSTAINED
BY Little Girl When Her Clothing
Caught Fire

Brandon, Feb.9-When little Leota
Chadwick, ten-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Chadwick, stood
too close to an open stove yesterday
SO that her apron caught fire, her
young playmates were frightened to
inaction. Not so with Leota, howev-

flames, though in so doing her hands
received several bad burns. The
child's presence of mind was eXcep-
tional and ayerted dire results.

presented. He spoke for an hour and
a half, but presented no new matter.
His speech, with two immaterial ex-
ceptions, was the same as delivered
at Akron, Cleveland, Dayton and else
where recently and which has been
published in the newspapers and with
which all newspaper readers are now
familiar. 1t was the same distortion
OF facts and juggling of figures, &C.
companied by a labored effort to
show that economy had been prac-
ticed by his administration, despite
the records of vouchers in the office
of the auditor of state showing that
the first year of the Willis admins
tration cost 1894, 900 more than the
last year of the Cox administration
He fumed and he ragged, he roared
and he shouted, he clustered and he
ranted, he ripped and he snorted like
the Wild Bull of Basham, and alto
gether gave a fine exhibition of what
words, words"-that was all; simply
the sound of his voice. The speech
was characterized more by what he
didn't say than what he did say, and
the apparent and painful effort of
man fighting for a cause which he
knows to be lost. 1t was brimful of
platitudes, vain self-praise and spec
ious argument.
Toastmaster Miller made another
lengthy speech in presenting Mr.. Her
rick, during which the incident re-
lated above when he Started some
thing" occurred.
In marked contrast to the rawlings
of Gov Willis, was the dignified and
thoughtful speech of Mr.. Herrick.
He had prepared set speech for the
occasion, copies Of which were fur
nished representatives of the press,
but he departed widely from the text.
The high spot" Of his speech was
declaration for protective tariff,
and he pointed out what he regarded
as the necessity for the same to meet
conditions that will arise at the close
of the European war. AS ambassador
to France, Mr.. Herrick gained much
experience and information in con-
nection with the great war and told
some incidents in an exceedingly in
teresting manner.
During the course of the evening
no reference was made to the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Burton for the presi-
Dental nomination. The only state
ment made concerning that nomina
tion was made by Mr.. Herrick and
then Burton's name was not men
toned. He said that after the Ohio
primary, all members of the party
would get behind the choice of the
party in the state, carrying the in
ference that more than one Ohio man
would be in the running.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Herrick's
speech, Toastmaster Miller intro
duced H. s. Ballard of the attorney
generals Office, who made a short
speech.
This concluded the oratorical pro-
gram and the Lincoln Day banquet
was over

present to meet the speakers of the

Music Recital.

Friends, the time of our life
came Saturday, $50 p. M, April
18th at Mrs. A. V. Stovall's.
From the many happy faces
gathered there, others must have
had the same experience.
What did we find there? Some
of the best taught and most skill
full little and large musicians that
one could wish to hear. For re-
tentiveness and executive ability
they could not be surpassed. We
had heard much of Mrs. Stovall
as a teacher, but when we saw
these we'll trained pupils we re-
allied that the half had never
been told"
What beautiful floral decora-
tons! A large bow of dogwood
thick with blossoms, plucked by
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Smith from
the bowers of the quiet country
roadside, where God bid it grow,
stood in hauty grandeur near the
lpiano, as if in comparison to the
more delicately pink tinted roses
and white blossoms that clamored
with garlands of green from a
vase on the dining table to the
respondent lights above.
Mentality" is good, decora-
tons are lovely, but where is
the (wo) man that can live
(happily) without dining" Our
hostess knew this A menu of
salad, sandwiches, olives, cucum-
bers, raddishes and tomatoes
were served on plates that would
mot break" with doiles that
need not be 'laundered"- ITO the
guests as they sat in the audi
forum. We thought these sufi-
Gent. Not so. Our hostess said,
so we were forthwith invited to
the dining room, where cookies,
cream and violets decorated each
plate handed the guests by the
fairy musicians, who administer
ed to each behest. A late hour
found us lingering over these we
had enjoyed so much.
We know that teacher, parent
and child are proud and apprecia-
tive of each other.
A FRIEND.
