BAKERY WRECKED BY FIRE.
Midnight Explosion Causes Destruc.
tive Blaze in 1rovas Bakery,

Midnight Explosion Causes Destruc.
tive Blaze in Trovas Bakery.
Fire at midnight, caused by explos-
ions Of unknown origin, almost totally
destroyed the Trovas Bros. bakery at
106 North Seventh avenue. The build
ing, owned by Miss Della Rhoades.
was almost wholly wrecked. and the
contents were badly damaged by fire
and water. The ovens, it is believed,
are not greatly damaged. Miss Rhoad-
es, this morning, could not put an es-
innate on her loss, but her insurance
probably will cover the damage. Tro-
vas Bros. who carried a small stock
Of flour and canned goods, could place
no estimate on their loss, but believe
there will be some salvage.
The ovens were heated last night
but at the time the fire was discov-
cred there was no one in the bakery.
When the department arrived the
flames were shooting thru the roof Of
the building.
An explosion, or according to some,
a series Of explosions, blew out every
window in the building and virtually
wrecked the front OF the store room.
The cause Of these explosions was not
determined altho there was some evi-
dence to believe a leaky gas stove
might have been responsible.
Because OF the nature of the fire it
was necessary to turn water into the
building. After the department had
returned to the stations a second
alarm was sent in, a small blaze 11av-
ing again originated in the ruins. The
flames soon were subdued.

That the yeggs were acquainted

Superintendent Long,- who had not
hoped for large showing Of horses
this year. found hts stalls all spoken
for.
Because OF the increase In the use
Of the automobile and the decline OF
horse breeding industry In central
Iowa II was expected that the showing
here this year would be small with
the filing of the horse stalls all de-
partments of live stock at the county
fair will be OF record proportions.

LOCAL COMMENT

II one would realize what an I'm
the South Third avenue pavement re-
laid he should have been away for
several weeks and return with the old
pitfalls stiil In mind. We should now
demand that the railroad pave Its APP
proach to the railroad station. Mar
shalltown is unfortunate In that the
first impression upon a visitor or upon
strangers passing through the city
Is conveyed by the second class sur
rounding Of the depot district. Wat
erloo. Cedar Rapids and Des Moines
lead people hight into the main busi-
ness districts whenever they enter
either of these cities upon a railroad.
Friends OF the owners generally will
regret the loss Of their investment In
flying machine but all rejoice that
the aviator hier was uninjured and the
hope IL universally expressed now that
the aviators will come back TO earth
and find come other occupation. When
our boys are involved we lose all heart
in the development of AVIATION and pre-
fer to wait until fair time or Fourth
Of July and zee the exploits Of some
dare devil who is total stranger.
Many men are seriously questioning
whether the perfection of AVIATION Is
of any real value or benefit to hui
manly other than the advantage 1t
gives an army in war.

The county fair win be on next week
and. weather permitting, the attend
ance vii break all previous records,
That Is the experience OF fairs this
year. The Des Moines fair exceeded
all Of its previous records this year by
100000 in attendance and by nearly
500. 900 in receipts. The weather was
ideal and the street car strike scared
nobody. when our crowds attend. how
ever. there will be a feeling that our
fair has outgrown its equipment. The
buildings are old and dingy and never
did have much beauty about them.
They are too small and even the
grounds will be crowded for room.
Clay county has recently built brand
new set of fair buildings at Spencer
at q cost of $4,000, all designed by an
architect. roomy and well arranged for
their purpose, handsome in appear
ance and q source of satisfaction to
every body. Black Hawk county did
the same thing a few years ago at Co
dar Falls. Within a few years now,
when the cost of building becomes
stabilized, we should plan to rebuild
cur entire county fair plant and per-
hans relocate the fair and start all
ove- n gain for another twenty years OF
development.
The ladies who raised the money for
a soldiers monument surprised every
body as well as themselves when they
received $500 without much more
than s5s from any one person. This
amount Of money will provide hand
