Waverly—One of the most dis~
astrous of fires that has visited
Waverly in a number of years, oc-
curred last night when the lumber
yard of H. J. Baldwin & Son was
wiped out of existence. The
heavy rain that was falling at the
time saved the conflagration from
being as destructive as that which
wiped out the business section of
this village in 1871.
The fire was discovered at about
2:20 o'clock this morning after it
had gained considerable headway.
Several persons
|adjoining property and did excel
lent work in protecting it.
The building and stock of lum-
| ber are almost entirely consumed,
{the amount saved being hardly
| worthy of mention.
Mr. Baldwin stated this morn-

|$18000, and that the insurance
The property adjoining on the
cast and west was badly scorched,
'but the chief damage was to the
contents from water.
The firemen were badly handis
considerable period elapsed before
they succeeded in having the
alarm rung in. When the alarm
was sounded, however, the depart-
ment responded with its usual
celerity, and soon had several
streams playing on the blaze. The
fire spread so rapidly, however,
that the office and the entire front
of the building were in flames by
the time the first companyjreached
the scene of the fire.
The office is situated at the west
end of the yard. On the front,
extending easterly from the office
for over 100 feet along Broad street

and other materials, Back of this |

was a long two story shed contain- |
ing several hundred thousand feet
of lumber.
The cause of the fire is not
known, but it originated in the
office, and in a few minutes the
entire front along Broad street was
in flames, and within 30 minutes
after the alarm was sounded the
entire front fell in, and the lumber
at the back of the yard was in
flames. The fire was so hot that
poles on the opposite of the street
caught fire from the heat and the
telephone and telegraph wires were
melted off.
The wind was blowing a gale at
the time and a shower of sparks
fell all over town, some large ones
being found over a half mile away.
The roofs of buildings in the im-
mediate vicinity were covered with
blazing embers and had it not been

Christianity and Meat,
Prof. Yoshitaro Nakamura, graduaty
Sapporo, Japan is at the Minnesota
state school of agriculture taking a spe-
cial course in animal Industry and
meats. He is especially interested In
the packing business and has visited
the big plants in Chicago and else
where. Prof. Nakamura says that on
account of the Budhist religion the
Japanese have been averse lo eating
meats, but now that Japan is adopting
the Christian religion the prejudices
against eating meats have to a certaln
extent disappeared.
Swearing a Hangman.
The death of Billington recalls the fact
that formerly it was usual in appointing
a public hangman to make him take the
Bible In his hand and swear solemnly
that he would dispatch every criminal
condemned to death without favoring
father, mother, or any other relation or
friend. When he had taken the oath he
was dismissed with the word: “Get
thee hence, wretch!”

examination which he took in this
place last spring. Mr. Hammond
stood the highest in the men’s list
and was therefore in line for the

with it a fair salary with excellent
opportunity of advancement. Mr.
Hammond's many friends in Sayre
and in fact throughout this section
| will be pleased to learn of his good
fortune. He has entered upon the
duties of the position.
