A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DESTRUCTION
McCooks Handsome New High School
Building Had a Close Call From Fire
Saturday night shortly before ten
oclock a fire was discovered in an un
finished room on the west side of the
now nigh school building and prompt
work alono on the part of those who
first noticed the firo saved the building
from heavy damage or destruction
Miss Laura McClain noticed the fire
and called the attention of the others in
the McClain residence which is just
west of the new school building to the
same and George Kearns and Earl
Gossett ran over to the building forced
a door and gaining entrance to the
room carried out a rope of oiled burn
ing waste which had been used during
the day in putting linseed oil on the
floors of the rooms
The fire had burned up the stud
ding to the floor joist but the removal
of the burning waste and a little water
on the charred studding and joist im
mediately closed the fire incident
The fire department was called out but
it was not necessary to throw any
water thnnkn to the prompt efforts of
the Mr Kearns and Mr Gossett
The fire was evidently of spontaneous
combustion origin and the early dis
covery of thejsamo and the prompt get
ting to the fire doubtless alone saved
McCook a large damageto her splendid
new high school building if not its
utter destruction
While the building is fully insured
its destruction at this time after more
than a year of most strenuous and dis
heartening effort in its construction
would have been a calamity to this city
SMOKE MEAT IN
TEN MINUTES OR
li N DAYS
The old process of smoking meat for
a long tedious period has been largely
superseded by the quick process of ub
ing Liquid Smoke applied with a brush
The gain is more than the gain in time
The meat is not shrunken in weight
The natural juices are not dried out
The meat is better protected from in
sects and decav It tastes better The
danger of loss by fire or tbeft is avoided
and there is an actual saving- of money
also McConnells Liquid Smoke gives
perfect results Price 25c
