to A. Schilling for stock and fixtures is
2000 with 1500 insurance. J. Schrain

which will cover the loss. It is sup
posed that the fire started from coals
from the stove. The building will be

another stock at once. Taking in con
sideration the time of night it shows
that our firemen are always on the alert

The Woman's Era
L 1 1
Within Her Sphere She Reigns Supreme.
Woman claims her own. Her field widens constantly,
Every day brightens her prospects. Her progress U
shadows the greater triumph at hand. Emancipation and
equality will be hers in the years to come.
Prophetic of final victory were her achievements at the
World's Fair. At her shrine there erected the nations bowed.
The lesson taught at the "Woman's Building" will last "till
time shall be no more." Their enlightening influence wilj
be felt around the globe throughout the dawning century.
On'y less memorable were the honors gained at the Fair by

tion, is a fitting accompaniment of the laurels won by the)
women of America.
