The weeds will pull easily today and so much of the roots will come up that they will be a long time in getting started again. If not pulled many will go to seed and cause much more trouble later on. Burdock, cocklebur, wild mustard, and other obnoxious weeds can be pulled up by the roots following a heavy rain and a little salt sprinkled in the root cavity will kill the weeds. This will be a fine evening to try this plan and it wil be found easier and more effective than cutting them off. An alarm of fire was turned in this morning from the residence of Mrs. Rachel Scott, on Van Rensselaer street, and brought out the fire department. The fire was on the kitchen roof, around the stove pipe which extended through the ceiling and roof, having the protection of another large pipe. The larger pipe had slipped down and the hot chimney ignited the roof. Very little damage resulted. Mrs. Scott had just recently had the roof and pipe inspected and repaired and thought it was perfectly safe.
