MIDNIGHT FIRE.
The fire alarm sounded and the de

about midnight to the vicinity of the
Pate Grocer Company warehouse,
near the Rock Island depot.
A small private frame warehouse,
belonging to J. W. Grubbs, in which
he had his household goods stored,
was on fire and was too far gone for
the fire laddies to be of any service
except to prevent the flames spread
ing to surrounding buildings.
The building was valued at $300,
with $100 insurance. The contents
were valued at $2,000 with $1,200 in- '
surance.
The origin of the fire is not known.
Both building and contents were a
total loss. i
REVOLUTIONISTS EXPECTED ' i
TO RETURN TO HOMES 1
^Montevideo, Uruguay, Nov. 30.—
(Correspondence of The Associated ,
Press)—Thousands cf revolutionists,
members of- the Blanco party who <
have been living in exile in Brazil
since their unsuccessful revolution
of 1912 are expected to return from
hiding as a result of the approval of
the new federal constitution by re
ferendum vote of the nation taken on
November 25.
One of their leaders recently stated
that there were 12,000 Uruguayan
revolutionists living along the Brazil
ian side of the frontier where they
had been ready to take up arms and
invade Uruguay at short notice.
Their leaders say the exiled rebels
probably will return to their homes
in the belief that the secret ballot
provided for in the new constitution
will give them representation in the
government which they have coveted
for many years and to attain which !
they have undertaken previous revo- \
lutions.
The caches in which they have bur-1
ied their arms stretch along the fron
tier from Uruguayana to Rio Grande
do Sul, where they were ready for al
most instant service, but it is believ
ed they will never be opened as the
revolutionary leaders assert that the j
days of revolutions have passed for- '
ever in Uruguay with the adoption ;
of the constitution.
For half a century the Blancos ;
have had no part in the government i
of the republic because of the strict j
control which the Colorados have i
maintained over the elections. The j
secret ballot provided for in the new
constitution is considered to be a
concession to the Blancos whose lead
ers promised to support the other
provisions if the secret ballot was
granted.
One impoitant clause of the new
constitution provides for the separa
tion of church and state. According
to some political leaders the winning
of the secret ballot will bring about
the dissolution of the Blanco party.

Ro Grande Do Sul, Brazil, Dec. 18.
—Brazil, now that it has entered the
war, is having its spy scare and it
has become more general even than
in some of the other belligerent coun
tries. It is only necessary for a per
son to be a foreigner and a stranger
in any Brazilian town to become the.
object of suspicious regal'd by the
people and even of police surveil
lance.
Orders’have gone out from Rio de
Janeiro for the arrest of large num
bers of Germans, many of whom ap
pear to be innocent business men, al
though there is no doubt but that Gej^
man espionage is well organized m
Southern Brazil. Spies are reported
to have been especially active in the
state of San Paulo and the govern
ment has taken rigid measures for
watching all suspects there.
As soon as the government began
these measures of precautions, how
ever, a large number of rich and well
known German business men, who
under suspicion of being German
government agents succeeded in es
caping into the Argentine Republic
with whatver secrets they may have
had.

WIRTHMOR WAISTS are made throughout . the year and they are worn
throughout the year by prudent women who have learned of their unusual *
merit. In the Fall we get the new Fall styles—as in Winter we get the Winter
styles, and, too, the fabrics, are always seasonable and appropriate. Besides >
the general style excellence, the values are really matchless.
Wirthmor Waists can be sold in just
one GOOD STORE in every city—
and they are sold here exclusively.
