COSTLY FIRE BURNS WATSON HUMES’ HOME.

One of the Best Farm Residences In 'Union Township Consumed by Flames Friday Night. - The farm residence of J. W. Humes, % mile west of Alx on the south side of the road, was burned to the ground Friday evening. The fire started at about 8 o’clock and made quick work of burning the residence down. Mrs. Humes’ father, Mel Garriott, was at the house, and expecting to get up early the next morning to start to Chicago, the family had started to go to bed at about 8 o’clock. Mr. Humes had removed his shoes when an explosion occurred and almost instantly the house became enveloped in flames. One of the children was already asleep in a roon up stairs and Mr. Humes hastened up there to get her. He was none too soon, for the flames had already broken into the room the child occupied. Only one more trip was made upstairs and only one featherbed was rescued from the upstairs apartments. Attention was given to saving things from down stairs, but the work had to be abandoned in a short time owing to the rapid spread of the flames. Mr. Humes did not take time to put on his shoes and when he was carrying things out from the house, he stepped on broken glass and quite badly cut one of his feet. His shoes and the shoes of his children were burned as well as practically all their clothing. __ The house was a good dwelling, erected 12 years ago by John Humes, father of J. W. Humes, and was splendidly built. It was a large house and one of the best residences in that part of the county. It was completely razed, as .was also the windmill and well house. = The loss to the house was fully $1,700 and the contents that were destroyed were probably worth SSOO or S7OO. Insurance in the sum of SBOO was carried On the house and some insurance on the household effects. What caused the explosion is unknown. There was a gasoline lighting system on the first* floor, but this was taken out intact and the Are and explosion occurred in the upper part of the house. Mr. Humes was at the scene of the fire this morning, and was able to be around with soft soled shoes on, but his feet are reported to have been quite severely cut.

Seed Sweet Potatoes.

We now have seed sweet potatoes. JOHN EGER. Miss Jessie Fishell, a young lady whose home was in Kentland and who for a number of years had been employed at the Kentland Enterprise office, was in a runaway last Sunday evening and sustained Injuries that it is feared wilj prove fatal. Miss Fishel was in company with Howard Griggs, of Brook. The horse became frightened just west of town and made a quick turn, running into the ditch And overturning .the buggy. Mr. Griggs was thrown out, but held to the lines. The horse made a sharp turn again for the center of the road and this threw the buggy back on the wheels. Griggs was struck by the buggy; and knocked down and dragged some distance before losing the lines'. He starled out in pursuit of the horse and about 200 yards down the road found Miss Fishell lying helpless and unconscious with her head in a pool of blood. About the same time, another party came along in a buggy and the injured young Jady was taken to her home and placed under a doctor’s care. Not having regained consciousness by the next morning, she was taken to Chicago and placed in cl arge of a specialist and up to Wednesday evening she was still unconscious, although there was a little indication of leturning consciousness that afternoon. Thursday consciousness returned gradually and in a natural manner, and the indications were encouraging.

The high school boys went to Brook to play baseball today. The trip was made In autos. It looked like a pretty good bunch b t coming ball players and Brook will know they have been in a game. ~

LONGWELL RENOMINATED AT JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

Newton bounty Republicans Also Nominate a Good Ticket at Con- — venHon Held at Morocco. Fred Longwell, of Brook, present prosecuting attorney, was renominated at the judicial convention for Jasper and Newton counties held Thursday at Morocco. There was, of course, no opposition to his renomination, for the people of the district are well satisfied with the manner in which he has conducted the office. Newton county republicans on the same date and at the same place nominated a county ticket and it seems to be a good one, from what we have been able to learn of it, and one that should be elected throughout. John Ade, of Kentland, was chairman of the convention. The ticket as nominated is as follows: Treasurer, E. S. Steel, of Kentland. Clerk, Fred G. Rlchmire, of Morocco. Recorder, Henry Burton, of Lake Village. Three men were placed before the convention for this nomination and Burton was nominated on the 6th ballot. Sheriff, Silas Swain, of Morocco. Mr. Swain is well known and very popular in Rensselaer #nd his friends here are pleased that he received the nomination. There were three men in the race, but Silas was nominated on the first ballot. Assessor, J. Z. Johnson, of Kentland. V Commissioner, Ist district, Young D. Deardurff, of Washington township. Coroner, “Bean” Lyons, of Brook. Frank Babcock, of Carpenter township, was the only Jasper county man at the judicial convention when the roll by townships was called and he was made the chairman of it. A little later Judge Hanley appeared with proxies from other delegates. Mr. Longwell made a speech that rang with true republicanism, and contained a prediction for party success. The Kentland Enterprise truthfully says: “Fred is making friends a: prosecutor and his renomination came to him as a vote of confidence.”

The other day a fanner brought some young turkeys to town that would neither lay nor set. Naturally he came to the “Fat Dinner Man” with his troubles and empty bread basket. Poor Fate filled his bread basket for 25 cents and took his turkeys off his hands. Therefore, Fate’s up against it once more for a money losing meal. Next Sunday, April 3rd, there will he a turkey dinner for 25 cents, with the usual trimmings, at the Model Restaurant. This is the wrong time of the year, but I will do anything once to help out the poor farmer and feed the hungry, cheap. UEO. FATE, THE FAT DINNER MAN.
