GOWDYHIS OWN COOK. Out in Chicago tbe waiters and cooks are out on a strike and the ho­ tels and restUrants have been im­ porting outsiders to fill the places. Tho Virginia hotel under the manage­ ment of Mr. Albert Gowdy a former Cedarvlllian is also effected by the strike and the Chicago Record-Herald has the following to Bay; “At tho Virginia Manager, Gowdy was his own cook for awhile, and the guests said they never ate better cooked food in their Jives, As soon as ho was relieved of his duties in the kitchen he fonnd himself short tfic services of milk, Mr. Gowdy thought a minute and then Went to the tele­ phone. “Send my automobile over here right away,” ho said to the man nt the barn. And when lliey arrived he jumped into it and started off for a load of milk.” J Mr. Perry Shull, of Kansas City, Mo,, arrived here Tuesday evening to spend a few days with his mother, Mrs, Orta Shull. Mr. Shull is a member of the firm of Shull <fcJelley, tailors and gents’ furnishers. This concern met with a heavy loss a few weeks ago on. their stock, the origin of the fire being from defective elec­ tric light wiring. Tim ‘ loss was $16,000 op a afock of $40,000, fully covered by insurance. Mr, Shull re­ ports that business was greatly affect­ ed la Kansas City by tbe high water. The bank clearings dropping from $17,000,000 to $7,000,000, in one week. Mr, Kind! expects to return today* PAPFR MILL FIRE The distressful sound of ..the paper mill whistles and tbe ringing of the fire bell about 9:80 Wednesday night informed the people of Cedaryille that fire was raging in the west end of town, So often 'has" the depart­ ment been summoned to this section that people were a little slow in assisting the department to the scene of the fire. The streets were soon filled with persons inquiring as to where the fire was and in a short time the second alarm came from the Hagar Straw Board & Paper com­ pany, the whistles indicating that the entire plant was threatened by fire. . A Herald representative was on the scene within a few minutes after the first alarm waB sounded-and found that the fire was on the second floor of the addition just completed a. few months ago. Had proper steps been taken a t this moment the loss would have been nominal, but -through, the excitement a number of the employees became confused as to how to operate the fire plug and'during this time the matte sprinklers. The fact that the fire gained great headway, having forced its way to the third floor.; Within ten minutes after the. first alarm the Are had reached the roof # and tbe angry flames were pouring out of the opening at the top of the* wall of the rotary room where straw is taken into the building,,. Tbe fire having reached the carrier, soon worked its way towards the company’s barna and the rapidity with which it spread .is almost beyond comprehen­ sion;' A hard fight . Tbe company lms its owq fire, pro­ tection which, is required under its insurance policies but' its equipment was on too small a scale for Bucha1 fire. The fire engine was- taken to the. bridge on Bridge- street by mis- .tuke^and this only delayed the village department in gettiug to work. The engine was jpe% a t the school ,house cistern and pumped for two hours or more. Sousa five or six streams of water were; playing on tho burning' building at One time beside the thou­ sands of gallons of water that were poured into the building by the auto­ portion of the building containing the four rotary boilers was saved wn* duo to the sprinklers, The heat was so intense that the fire laddies could not get close enough to fight to great advantage. ■ THIRTY MINUTES, Shortly after the alarm was sound- ed and when the building appeared to be destined for ruin Mr. E, W. Hagar, president, treasurer and gen­ eral manager of fjie company, was telephoned at his residence in Xenia, Mr. Hagar is very proud of the mo- tocycle and his automobile., but nei- -ther of these would do for making1 a trip as he - was to make. |Within thirty minutes from the time his Kentucky horse. was hitched .to his buggy he was at the Beene of the fire directing his men in "their fight to save the property. Before his arrival Superintendent A. Z. Smith had charge qf the men. THE OlilOiN. - . The origin of the fire is .not fully settled upon, yet is. thought to have started from a hot box on the second floor in the northwest corner of the room. -The fire was discovered by a colored employee, Pierce, and a gen eral alarm was sent ip. The new building being constructed of brick and slate roof, while the floors were of- pine .which was dry bb tinder, the roaring flames raged from doors and windows as if the building were, a huge furnace; COFFEE AND LUNCH, After the fire Mr. Hagar had hot coffee and lunch served at Boyd’s restaurant to the men who had fought so faithfully.- The flfe was under control about 11:30, yet the depart-; meet did not get away until about two o’clock Thursday morning,- - ; THE INSURANCE. The new edition did not have the sprinklers in place yet,’ consequently the fire was hard to check! The loss is estimated.at $1,000 which is -fully covered by insurance, - Tbe I obs has been adjusted and contractor' J , W. McLean is at work on the repairs. |Tbe mill was shut down a l l "day Thursday but was Btarted again Fri­ day morning. I ACALLED MEETING, Corporation Clerk, J . G.
