The graded school building suf fered slight damage by fire yes terday morning. There are sev- oral theories as to the origin of the fire; one is that the zinc pro tection against the wall became sufficiently heated to ignite the wood with which it was in con tact; another is th a. a coal fell from the stove unnoticed and caused the fire. The last theory is probably correct as there was a small bale burned through the floor. 3RD DAT, 2HD SEEL What the Lcgislttim Did to Jasnarj 28th. A United States Senator Elected.
