ALTER PAVING
y. II. ATKINSON, CONTRACTOR,
TRIMMING CEMENT SUR
FACE IN ALLEY.

Work Of rectifying the cement paw
ing laid in the alley between Fourth
and Fifth streets and between Egan
and VanEps avenues, which was laid
a couple of weeks ago, and which the
city commission declined TO accept,
in its present condition, was begun
this morning. The work is under
the direction of Murray Windle, SUI
perintendent for C. II. Atkinson, of
WATERFOWL, who had the contract for
the paving.
Refusal of the commission to ac-
cept the paving was made following
an Investigation. which disclosed
that the alley did not drain proper
ly near the north end. 1t is said that
in places the paving was a trifle
high, preventing water at some
points from running off. The high
places will be trimmed down. Ow-
ing to its extreme flatness, the alley
was a most difficult one to drain.
The fall is but three inches for the
300 feet.
The contract price of the paving is
about $1,000.

two will be tackled onto the price of
butter within a week or so.
There have been two increases i'm
the price of flour during the week,
the last rise coming yesterday, in
sympathy with a pronounced advance
in the price of grain, when $1.S2A
was paid on the Minneapolis market
for December wheat. The wholesale
price Of good patent flour is so cents
a barrel or Is cents a bag more than
IL was last Saturday. Quotations on
flour in carload lots, arriving in the
city this morning, disclose that the
Russell Milling company. of Mime
apolis, is now asking $10.45 a barrel
for its product. Before the outbreak
of the war the same grade of flour
sold at $3.50 a barrel. The retail
price of Madison made flour today
is $3.50 a sack.
Creamery butter yesterday jumped
from 81 to 3S cents a pound. The
Madison creamery now is paying 38
cents a gallon for cream, which is be
tween 6 and Z cents more a gallon
than was offered six months or so
ago. At the creamery today il was
said that more money would prob
ably be paid for cream here next
week.

BUSINESS SECTION
UF AUDyRHDaLE
VISITED BY
ANOTHER FIRE

For the third time in two years or
less fire visited the business section
of Auburndale and wiped out a val
liable piece of property last night.
The Ryals building, two-story
structure with stores on the ground
level and apartments above, caught
fire from stove or lamp, presum-
ably, in the living quarters about 2
O'Clock this morning. and was quick
ly reduced to a pile of smoldering
ashes.
The owner of the building, F. NJ.
Ryals, with his family. and R. M.
Lowell and family, were asleep at
the time, and walked barely in time
to escape with their lives, saving
practically nothing except few
clothes. One of the shop rooms was
occupied by the Dry Goods Depart
ment of Walkers. One showcase and
small amount of goods was all that
could be saved from this The other
!
shop, but recently vacated by the
I City Market, contained only coun-
/ ter.
Although the chemical encine re-
sponded instantly when the alarm
was given, it was powcrless to hin
der the burning of the rich pine
structure. The building was wholly
of frame construction, sheathed with
pressed steel brick siding. However
good work was done i'll saving ad-
joining buildings. Fortunately the
high wind drove the flames toward
wide open space where three
streets meet. Had it been in the OPP
posite direction at least four other
buildings on East Park street would
have been wiped out.
The value of the building was civ
en- as $4,000, with $4,000 insurance
Mr.. Walker valued his dry goods
stock at $4,000, with $500 insur
ance.

A destitute family was on the
streets this morning, trying to Sc
cure means to get to Ocala, where
they said they had friends. A kind
hearted gentleman took upon him
self the task of raising the neces-
sary amount, which he did, and af-
forwards left so cents at the Tele
gram office as a nucleus for a fund
to meet similar emergencies. He sug-
gests that others leave a like amount,
or more or less, at the Telegram Of
fee so that a small fund may be
maintained for charitable purposes.
The Telegram would prefer that
some one else handle the matter,
but will do so if no one else is will
ing. What we would like to see
would be a permanent organization
the members of which would pay a
small stipulated sum every month to
some person appointed to receive
and disburse these moneys, so that
when cases of restitution develop
that require quick relief. some means
may be at hand for the purpose.
