W. PLUMB, Manager. What might have proven disastrous fire, occured at the home of Chas. H. Miller in the west part of town, last Sunday morning at about 10 o'clock.

Mrs. Miller filled the tank to a self-generating gasoline stove, in the summer kitchen just off a few feet from the main building, with gasoline and forgetful that the tank leaked, filled it too full, which caused the gasoline to escape. After filling the tank she lighted the stove and went back into the main part of the house. Mrs. Miller soon detected the odor of something burning and went to find what the matter was when she discovered the tank in flames.

She promptly seized the tank and started to throw it into the yard. On reaching the porch the dripping gasoline was burning her arm so badly that whe dropped the tank. By this time neighbors had arrived and extinguished the flames. A fire alarm was turned in and, willing hands soon had the wagon on the road but before they reached the scene word was received that the danger was over. With the exception of badly burning Mrs.

Miller's arm, no other damage was done. Mr. F. H. Robbins of Macomb, an old-time citizen of La Cygne was visiting friends and relatives in the city last week.

Mr. Robbins is the father of City Marshal Robbins, and at one time filled that important position himself. Mr. Robbing says he had contemplated buying property and moving back as his wife liked La Cygne so well, but since the Journal gave him such a roast he had concluded to stay in Missouri, where a man is free to enjoy the society of his friends in any manner he may see fit.

H. Robbins of Macomb, who has been visiting friends in La Cygne, was exhibiting an egg on our streets last Saturday that will appeal to the raisers of that particular kind of fruit. The egg was laid by a hen of a new breed of chickens, known as the two-in-one variety. We do not pretend to know just how the hens produce these two-in-one eggs but they are there just the same. There was a full and complete egg, shell and all, inside another egg.

The two-in-one egg is somewhat larger than the ordinary egg and will undoubtedly command a much better price on the market. Robbins says there is no pipe dream about this variety and if you are interested, write him for futher particulars. New Frisco Time Card.
