and T. J. Foley have a mortgage on tho
furniture for over $2,300.

DES MOINES, Nov. 7. (Special. )-Flre
In a smallpox hospital In this city this
forenoon caused a remarkable scene and
expotcd some of tho patients to danger from '
the severe weather. The fire wns first dis
covered In the roof of the hospital and
wan seen by a doctor who was lecturing tn
a class of students In another hospital
nearby. Both hospitals aro on Fourth
street, In tho north part of tho city. The
alarm wns given quickly, but the firv burned
off the roof and Injured most of the upper
story of the hospital. The firemen rushed
Into the building ns If there was not n
partlclu of danger from the contagion nnd
did their best to snve everything.
When tho firemen broke In the door of
tho hall they found tho fourteen smnllpox
patients huddled In the hall, not knowing
which way to turn. They rushed past the
firemen Into the yard and covered them
selves with such articles of clothing as
they had gathered from the rooms as thoy
went out. All were able to travel and some
wero nearly well. They went In a bunch
lo the yard of a small church nenrby, but
later were gathered Into tents In tho yard
of the hospital and were provided with
some comforts.
The city Is now engaged In building a
smnllpox hospital on ground which was
bought for that purposo twenty-eight years
ugo and a hospital would have been com
pleted long ngo but for the opposition of
people who lived near to various sites that
wero designated by the city council. The
crowds that gathered about the smallpox
hospital by the flro scattered quickly wheu
the patients came out Into the streets.
