Barn and Six Mules Destroyed By Fire

Fire about midnight last Wednes-
day destroyed the new barn of Mr..
w. Z. Bates, about three miles cast
of town, and Bond Bros. had six
mules burned to death, and two
others severly injured from the flames
one so severely that it had to be- shot.
1t is thought that lighting struckthe
barn, for when Mr.. Bates discovered
the fire the building was in flames
from foundation to roof Mr.. Bates
had no knife, and so was compelled
to unite the mules, or doubtless all
of them would have been saved.
A considerable amount Of feed was
also destroyed. Bond Bros. had
insurance on their stock, hut the
barn was a total loss.

DANTE's wNFERNo."
A Portrayal Of Visualized He'll.

good many folks throughout this
town will get huge thrill of pleasure
out Of the announcement that an ami
mated picture of Dante's Inferno" Is
to be shown at Colonial Wednesday,
Feb. Z.
If you have had the good fortune to
make tn tour of Hell, reading the IN
ferno" with Dante
You will remember the dark stream,
The bridge of granite gray,
The path that seemed a twisted dream
And led through He'll Away
You remember how you went up to
the great summit of the mountain and
first set your eyes on the gateway,
over which were written these awful
words. Leave all hope behind ye who
enter here"
You remember the river of death Just
inside the portals of the Inferno" and
the old boatman. who rallied at Dante
and loaded the naked souls into the
worm eaten old ferry boat; there were
the moaning of voices of horror, the
strident shrieks of pain, the gloomy
waves of Achron. and the mirky shores
of Limbo. Then as you passed over
Deaths dark stream, there are the
great souls of ancient days walking
about and with Dante making you one
Of their great band: and bridges where
the awful horrors arc brought before
you in the open air. Here you saw
winged and armed demons in evil pas
sions. or seething sea of desolute be-
ings in their filthy nakedness. Burn
Ing shores of the Swamp of Styx bring
to your mind the old Bible verse Of the
Lake of Fire and Birthstone. and the
polluted souls who paddle through the
mud and fought the burning waves.
Somewhere in your memory linger
faint doors of smoking birthstone and
burning, naked souls.
You know how the thrill of the IN
ferno" endures in civilization with its
railroads and trolley, it's electric
lights. modern hotels, and the great
liners in the harbors. and the "dirigi-
bies OF the air." ~ you have not all
these things in your memory, Dante's
Inferno" still awaits your pleasure
beyond the shadow of the moving pic
lures.

A Valuable Suggestion
Editor Kennebec Journal:

| hcHllSO6G JCuIudi,
have noticed from time to time very
expressive cartoons in your paper SET
ting forth the need Of patronizing
home markets instead Of purchasing
from the mail order houses. This cam
paign is one which has my hearty SYM
pathy, for | too believe that it is our
duty to buy wherever possible from
our local tradeSmen. 1t is fact that
the success of our communities depends
on the success of our business men,
and that just SO far as these men are
able to meet our needs in an economic
al manner we should buy at their
shops. Storekeepers render valuable
service to any people. for they take the
risks of investment, the care in select
ing products, the choice Of styles, the
tests of quality and such matters upon
themselves and present to us the re-
suits of their study. We do not have
to plan even one season ahead for
those articles of merchandise that will
meet our future needs, for we have
learned to depend on our expert, the
business man, who at the proper time
will have on display whatever will
meet our demands. 1t Is true too that we
may accept as basic TO our prosperity
the fact that home trade must be pa
tronized. The storekeeper Of Maine
spends his personal funds. at least, In

And of this exhibition 1t can be seri-
ing the mind, stirring the heart, and
overshadowing anything previously
created by the master minds of motion
pictures. Dante's Inferno" is gen
Grafton in advance Of all other film
achievements. The reason for this is
plain. There is an amazing and an
absorbing story behind the films.
Dante's tale Is a story of an impulse
implanted by love: OF its growth from
casual and passing mood into a
master pa ssion reaching out, not to one
other human being only, but TO all hu
mainly. And the assurance of the
animated picture is no vasary of
medieval MYSTICISM, no fallacy of
mind in vertigo, which as it spins
blurs the real variety into con-
fused oneness; but 0 recognition of
the observable psychological fact that
there is In love, highest and lowest, q
stirring of generous emotion.
After we have passed with Dante
and his guide through the dark portals
Of Hell. we And all, of earth excluded:
and, when, the story being told, 1--WE
issue forth and again behold the
stars" we ask ourselves why we are SO
strangely stirred by the words of /,
man of whom We know so little. one SO
remote in date and in thought; we
find that it is because, on the one hand
he knew how to present universal
emotions, stripping his experiences OF
all that is peculiar to time or place;
and. secondly, because he felt more in
tensely than other men; his JOY, his
anguish. his love, his hate, his hope, is
faith, were so keen that they come
ouiyering down through the ages and
set our hearts in responsive vibration:
and the motion pictures interpret
back to our eyes in the fullest degree
the living, unrivaled and sustained
grandeur of the poets thought.
A brilliant lecturer accompanies the
film and tells the story as each of the
two hundred scenes unroll before the
eyes of the spectators-so that the ex-
hibition reaches the capable, intelli-
gent masses and classes. youth and
age.

MRS. LENA COCHRANE
REMEMBERS THE BIG
FIRE OF SEPT, 1867

= Mrs. Lena Cochrane, Augustus old
est business woman, on Monday gave
very interesting account Of the big
FIRE which swept Water street from
Market square to Bridge street. de-
stroying practically every building, in
September, 1856, to Journal reporter.
Mrs. Cochrane. who has passed the
greater part Of her life in this city,
! was at that time Miss Lena Wenden-
burg, was IS years of age and her Ia
| Their owned and operated a musical
supply store about where the store OF
F. II. Beale g. Co. now is.
Mr.. Wendenburg and his daughter
boarded and had rooms at the Stanley
House, hotel situated about where
| the Cony House is located. and an in
! teresting comparison in prices appears
in Mrs. Cochrane's statement: my Ia
Tiers room and board cost him 81 a
week. and my room and board was 50
week and we thought that quite ex-
pensive. even in war times"
She went on to say: Water street at
that time was largely composed OF
wooden buildings, and the fire started
on Sunday morning in September, in
an unfinished building just below my
| fathers music store. 1t had been dry
for a long time, and there was quite
wind. The FIRE spread very rapidly
in both directions and the sparks and
| flames jumped the street in a dozen
places at once. They were building a
new depot at the time and that burn
cd, as did also many of the houses on
Oak and Bridge streets. ! took a sheet
and heaped my own things into IL and
| tied up the four corners and dragged
them out of the hotel. but the fire
spread SO quickly that little was saw
ed, though my father got quite a lot
out of his store. He had just laid in
four or five tons of coal against my
advice. and that burned with the rest
Of the property.
The fire. which started early in the
morning. and Lad to be fought witt
hand pumps. made d clean sweep OF
both sides Of the street and burned al
through the forenoon, but at noon
was quite well under control. The mex
day heap Of smoking ruins stretched
from Bridge street to Market square
and l remember that it looked a lon;
distance with the buildings all gone
and mon were selling groceries an,
meats under hastily built sheds il
Market square"
Mrs. Cochrano also told of the pa
rades, and the crowded city immedi
ately following Lees surrender. He
memory is remarkably accurate. ant
she probably knows more facts con
corning the history Of this city thar
any other living woman, as she wa,
always in business and in consequence
heard much that the average woman
would have missed.
