forms this paper that the I. 0. 0. F.

will be of stone or concrete and made
fire proof. It Is understood that the
lower floor will be occupied by F. S.
Bender & Co., general merchandise,
and possibly one other business,
while the second story, of course, will
be given up to the lodges of the city.
Mr. Padberg Is of the opinion that ito
will not be long until work on the
new structure is under way.
A well authenticated report
reaches this paper to the effect that
another attempt was made to fire the
town of lone just a night or two af
ter the big fire. This attempt was on
the skating rink and it was discov
ered in time to prevent a conflagra
tion. The stove pipe near the roof
had been wrappd first with paper and
then with old Backs and a hot fire In
the stove would not have been long
in firing this and then the roof. It Is
well known that this attempt to Are
the rink was made after the other
fire as Prof. Doak, who has charge
of the building, had made a complete
examination of the pipe leading
through the roof the day following
the fire and found it all right. Some
miscreant certainly has it in for lone,
juding from these late developments.
