CHARGE OF RUST HOUSE
Mrs. C. Clausen has taken over
the management of the Rust house,
on Fourth street near A, and will

The rooming house owned and
conducted by Willis Nicely, on up
per A street, narrowly escaped de
struction by fire this afternoon, only
the quick and effective work of Ne
nana's volunteer fire department, as
sisted by Commission employees, pre
venting the loss of that building and
perhaps the entire block. As it was,
the upper portion of the Nicely
house was badly burned and the
entire contents, except the little that
was removed, were practically ru
'ined by fire, smoke and water. Some
loss also was sustained by Mr. Nicely
through the hasty removal of fur
nishings and fixtures from the build
ing adjoining, which was conducted
as part of the establishment. The
loss is only partially covered by in
surance.
The fire was discovered shortly
after two o'clock this afternoon, the
alarm being sounded by men who
were in the house at the time. The
blaze was seen issuing from one of
the partitions downstairs.
The town chemical and hose was:
on responded promptly to the alarm
and many hand chemicals were on
the scene immediately after the fire
was discovered. But the flames had
g-ained such headway that it was
not until both the town and the
Commission chemicals and four lines
of hose from the city water mains
had been brought into play that the
fire was gotten under control.
Fire Marshal Martin Nash direct
ed the fire fighting and he was ably
assisted by a number of department
veterans and scores of volunteers.
The work done, as a whole, is de
clared to have been equal to that
of the best paid and trained fire
department in the North — better
than ntj-t paid departments.
There was an ample supply of
water available throughout the fire,
the four lines of hose, two at the
rear of the building and two at the
front, throwing powerful streams of
water into the upper windows ami
wherever else needed. When the
fire had been extinguished, the low
er floor of the building was very
thoroughly drenched.
Several of the volunteers were
nearly overcome by smoke while
playing the water into the building
from ladders, and George Hupprich.
of the Commission department, had
the misfortune to gash his arm on a
broken pane of glass. Nearly ev
eryone was drenched.
Had it been impossible to save
the Nicely building, it is certain the
building adjoining, the old Belmont,
would have gone. too. And the
breeze which sprang up from the
south during the fire might esfkily;
have carried the flames to the Cen
.
tral restaurant and the Cascade
laundry, close by the Belmont.
Mr. Nicely states that practically
all the personal effects, belonging to
guests of the house, were saved and
are being held in safe-keeping for
the owners, whenever they choose to
claim them.
BRESNAHAN LEAVES TO
WORK FOR NEWS-MINER
Among the passengers leaving for j
Fairbanks on the launch Victory this
morning was Ed D. Bresnahan, who j
came to Nenana nearly two years
ago to take charge of the mechan
ical department of The Nenana
News. Mr. Bresnahan is quitting
Nenana to accept a position as lino
type operator on the Fairbanks
News-Miner.
WHAT TO USE TO
PREVENT APPENDICITIS
Nenana people should know simple
buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as
mixed in Adler-1-ka, flushes the EN
TIRE bowel tract so completely that
appendicitis is prevented. ONE
SPOONFUL Adler-i-ka relieves ANY
CASE sour stomach, gas or constipa
tion because it removes ALL foul
matter which clogged and poisoned
your system. The INSTANT action
surprises both doctors and patients.

The mystery surrounding the dis- .
appearance on Saturday night of!
Deputy Marshal Hagen and Game!
Warden Foster was cleared up today;
by information received from Fah-!
banks to the effect that the two of- i
; cers are now at Tolovana search- i
ing for marten and beaver pelts'
|
which they believe have been placed
ir the mail for shipment to the1
States in violation of the fur regu
lations. Seventy-three sacks con-1
taining furs were placed in the ] < st- !
office at Tolovana and these are be- j
ing held by the officers pending the
issuance of a search warrant per- ;
mititng _ them to go through the !
mail.
Peter Yachon, who is interested
in the shipment, objected to a
search of the sacks, claiming that
the officers had no right to molest
the mail, whereupon the shipment1
was held up and permission re
quested to make the desired search.
This permission, it is understood,
has been granted.
Peter Vaehon is now in Fair
banks. having recently made the trip
to the upper town after an exten- ;
sive fur-buying expedition through
out the district.
Fresh garden seeds, just arrived.

The many friends of Captain C.
W. Adams will be pleased to learn
that the report in circulation ves
terdey to the effect that the popular
navigator had died at Tanana, is ab
solutely without foundation.
A telegram reached Mrs. Fred'k
D. Browne this morning from Mrs.
Adams, stating that she had just
reached Tanana and had found her
husband somewhat improved in
health, but still very ill. Mrs. Adams
went down the river on the steamer
Tanana and expected to reach the
army town yesterday noon, but the
boat did not reach port until this
morning.
The report of the captain's death
gained wide circulation yesterday,
both here and at Fairbanks, and,
like all reports of that character, it
was impossible to trace it to its
source. One of the stories even went
so far as to detail the manner in
which Captain Adams had died and
told of an autopsy having been per
formed.
The telegram from Mrs. Adams
would seem to indicate that, while
the captain is quite ill, his condition
is not critical.
The Cascade Laundry has plenty
of hot soft water at all times. New
bath rooms, fully equipped and san
itary, with special rooms for ladies.
You get rebate with $2.50 laundry,
which applies on bath, or pay 50c
per hath.
