d0rfement of all patriots, II IL expect-

Roof Burned oil Plant.

Despite the rather spectacular fire
which destroyed the roof Of the high
school heating plant building at an
early hour Saturday, the furnaces have
been in optration supplying heat
as usual to all Of the central school
buildings and the court house, as well.
The fire was discovered shortly after
1 80 Saturday morning and resulted
from spontaneous combustion of coal
in the basement. Practically a new
roof will be required and certain fix
lures upon the heating plant will need
replacing. The heating plant building
is in close proximity to Lincoln high
school on the east, the danger to adj
joining buildings requiring quick work
on the part of the city fire department.
No estimate Of the loss has been made
but adjustment with the insurance COM
panies will be made and the damage re-
paired at Once.

fined her to her home.
Mrs. Glasgow was a fine Christian
woman of the old school. She belonged
to the generation that was gone, but
she had a vital and kindly interests in
the events of the current life that pass
ed her door. Her quaint north Of Ire
land speech was a delight to the ear,
and her narratives of the past and COM
ments upon life today indicated a
bright and active mind. She had a sub
tie and accurate knowledge of things
religious. Her religious life was per-
sonal. Her faith in God, which never
wavered !; her quaint optimistic out
look upon life; her many honey virtues
and her zest for truth made of Mrs.
Glasgow a character that might well
have had a place in Ian McLaren's
"Bonny Briar Bush Of a by-gone gen.
GRAFTON. Her flower garden, which was
very characteristic of the woman, was
among the best in the city. She cared
for it with her own hands, and the flow
ers seemed to bloom because they loved
the hand that gave them daily care.
The remains will be buried at the
cemetery tomorrow, with private flu
neral services at the house at II o'clock,
conducted by her pastor, Rev. Arthur
Metcalf, pastor of the Congregational
church.
