Fire at Ladoga Destroys Several Stores
A Ladoga blaze last week shattered plate glass fronts and drove Ose Bros grocers T. J. Veunard druggist and Kyle and Mayhall dry goods merchants to move stock out before flames. Losses total about 25000. Fire engines failed to reach scene as delays and a broken Ladoga engine hampered efforts. Origin remains unknown and Gardner in the adjacent saloon served free drinks to firefighters.

Swiss chemist’s embalming fluid may ease crowded cemeteries
A Swiss chemist discovers a remarkable embalming fluid. He bases his theory on the idea that heart and stomach functions do not stop instantly at death. He verified this theory through experimentation.
Ossified bodies provoke debate and odd cures
An article describes a new embalming method that injects fluid into the heart and stomach after death, allegedly ossifying the body within hours. In a heated room at ninety degrees the corpse becomes a solid statue, hair falls, features remain, and people reportedly preserve relatives at home. The Swiss government weighs banning the practice to require burial.
