W. r Ogden, In Everybody’s for December, at |650,150,000, and two hundred human lives. “Final and official figures on the damage from the burning of the northwestern forests,” he writes, "cannot be given for many months. The following figures are no official, nor final. They are based on estimates made only two weeks after the fire. Govemmen officials in the forestry service tn the burned district say this estimate is conservative, too low, rather than too hl£h: Human lives lost (known) 81 Missing and unaccounted f0r.... 125 No. square miles burned. ,2,000 Market value of timber in forest >100,000,000 Loss in young timber.... 50,000,000 Loss to railroads ( burned district) 3,000,000 Loss to city of Wallace... 1,000,000 To settlers and lumber companies 5,000,000 Cost of fighting fire 150,000 Loss in labor to communities burned 500,000,000 Total loss .>650,000,000 BUYS ADAMS COUNTY FLOUR. Joseph Shady today shipped to his son, George W. Shady, of McMillen, Mich, a quantity of good old Adams county flour. When one considers that flour in that part of Michigan is >7.50 a barrel over the >4.50 which can buy it here, one may know that there is something to gain in buying flour here. The saving <m the four barrels alone, above the freight in this case, is >B.OO. This is not the first year that Mr. Shady has bought his flour here, as he has been partial to this product for some time. Mr. George W. Shady, who has been here for a few days, having accompanied the remains of his son, Bruce, here- for burial, left this . afternoon for Chicago, where he will attend to business matters relating to ' his son’s death, and will return to his ■ home at McMillen the first of the week. His son, Bruce, was killed in a railway accident in Chicago last Saturday. . 0

Geneva, Ind., Dec. I—(Special to Dally Democrat)—Your correspondent had occasion to visit the beautiful littlie town of Linn Grove Tuesday and in conversation with one of the pioneers of that live town, was informed that the town was platted by Robert Simison in 1857, and was without a railroad until 1910, when the B. G. & C. traction line made its adVent into the limits of-the town and since that time the scenes have Changed. Previous to the coming of the B. G. & C. all commodities were pulled by team either to Bluffton, Decatur, Berne or Fort Wayne. In the earlier days it was common for a train of wagons to be made up and all would start for Ft. Wayne to sell the products of the farm and bring home instead, such things as were needed in the households. During this time Robert Allison, now deceased, was ip the mercantile business in Buena Vista (as then called) and Peter Hoffman, then a young man, made the trip to Decatur, in zero weather, on horseback, with no stockings on his feet, only a pair of calf-i skin boots, to get money for his employer to carry on his business of the i week. We say the scenes have changed from forty years ago, for the busy, hustling 300 people who now live in Linn Grove. The town has three churches, Baptist, Christian and Evangelical. A four-room school in prosperous condition, under the principalshipship of Professor Ivan Beck, of Marion, Ind., a large mill, a livery and sale stable now under construction, the Bank of Linn Grove, which opened for business August 12th, last, with a capital of >17,500, and Peter Hoffman as president and Homer Neaderhouser as cashier, located in a well built and commodious brick building and doing a nice business. The town is supplied with dry goods, hardware, grocery, notion. restaurants, drug and all other lines of mercantile avocations that go to make up a first class town. Another Important factor in the business of the town is the manufacturing of buggies by Leander Dunbar, who ln all probability is the only manufacturer of such vehicles in Adams county. When we called on him we found he had a number of surreys and buggies under construction and orders enough ahead to keep him busy for many months to come. Among the other things we mention and the one that pleases the people the most is the mammouth ele vator along the B. G. & C., equipped for handling all kinds of grain and we doubt if there is any better in Adams county. Taking a retrospective vie* of Linn Grove we rejoice with them that they are now substantially and forever on the map as they are bust.7..L

The Rebekah lodge of Geneva entertained the Rebekahs from Portland and Bluffton Wednesday evening, to the number of fifty. A delicious supper was served, after which the Bluffton lodge exemplified the work in a splendid manner, much to the edification of all present. After the work a several hours’ social session was held. Just at the close of the evening’s pleasures, Mrs. Mort McAfee, the conductress of the Bluffton degree staff, suffered an attack of heart trouble, and for some time it was feared she could not be revived. Dr. Graham was called and at 1 o’clock she was placed aboard the special B. G. & C. car and taken home. Word today is that she is better. The concert given by Major R. H. and J. C. Hendershot, assisted by the Geneva Merchants’ band Wednesday evening at the Coliseum was poorly attended on account of the inclement weather. . o WILL GIVE RECITAL.
