r" HOUSE AND
CONTENTS BURNS UP
While John Maring and Fam

Breaks Out.
BEGIN SEPTEMBER 1
Telephone Company Preparing to
Begin Operations Then—Con
nect at Ewing First.
Fire destroyed the house on T. A.
Pickering’s farm two miles south of
Emmet Monday afternoon. John Mar
ing and family resided on the place
previous to the fire. The fire left them
destitute of a home and destroyed all’
their clothing, bedding and household
goods. There was no one at home at
the time of the fire and the origin of it is
a mystery. Mr. Maring was away hay
ing and the rest of the family had gone
to a neighbors. Besides the property of
Mr. and Mrs. Maring’s, $54 in money, a
gold watch and some clothing belonging
to Miss Atkinson, who was there visit
ing, was also destroyed. The loss ou
the house will be betw'en $600 and $700,
Mr. Pickiring tells us, with $300 insur
ance. The fire was discovered by Mr.
Uhler, who was working in a hay field
not far away, but he could not get there
in time to save anything. Mrs. Maring
says there was no fire in the stove when
they left and is at a loss to account for
the fire. A milk house near the main
building was also burned.
“We will commence work September
1," said Secretary Weekes of the Holt
County Telephone companey yesterday
when asked about the proposed line
from O’Neill.
“Manager Lane of the Nebraska
Telephone company wtll be in the city
tonight,” continued Mr. Weekes, “when
arrangements will be made for connec
tion with the Nebraska line at Ewing.
The line will be completed to Ewing first
and then the wo>k of poling and wiring
to Atkinson will begin. We will prob
ably build to Chambers then.”
Asked if the franchises for the pro
prosed routes had been granted Mr.
Weekes responded that they had. “The
material for the line has been shipped
and will arrive in a few days. The
company will employ its own workmen
for the building of the lines and the
superintendency of the work will be in
charge of H. N. Hough of Pawnee City.
It will take from sixty to ninety days
to - complete the system. Local tele
phone exchange will not be put in at
first.”
As to extending the line into Boyd
county Mr. Weekes said there would be
nothing done in that direction at present
Li-at weekR. H. Jenness visited Elk
Point, 8. I)., for the purpose of inspect
ing a gag plant which has just been put
in by the oity. It is owned by the town
and cost about $5000. The Welsbach
burner is used. They have about 175
residence and business lights and
twenty-five street lights. There is no
better light made. It is also used for
cooking. The cost is about one-half
cent a light. It is known as the cold
process. It is very simple, and consists
in the main of air pumps and a governor,
Air is forced through several chambers
of the generator, and passed through
gasoline. This is kept up till the air is
converted into a dry hydrocarbon gas.
From the generator it passes into a dryer,
where all the moistute which might re
main is thoroughly scrubbed and washed
nut. One gallon of gasoline will produce
about 250 cubic feet of gas, or 1800 gal
lons. The amount of oil is very small
compared to the amount of gas pro
duced. It is in operation in many
towns in Iowa aud Minnesota, and
gives entire satisfaction. They give a
twenty-four hour service, which beats
electric light plants usually put in small
places.
