Flames, first discovered ut 7:30 o'clock, swept through the two- story frame structure in two hours and caused a loss of $15,000. Fire departments from Whcaton and Bloomingdale were called, but with no water supply available, were unable to check the flames. Chemicals were used and helpful neighbors carried hundreds of milk cans full of water from nearby farms, but to no avail. The building was erected by Charles Tcdrahn, father of the present owner. The Ihe began in the basement.

A $10,000 stock of hardware, groceries, and dry Roods was lost. The family lived on the second floor and rear of the first floor and lost all household goods, clothing, and personal effects, including several purses containing considerable cash. Post office records and store "books were saved when Mr. Ted- rahan locked them into the store's safe. Insurance will not cover the loss.

Seat The idea of divorcing nine north townships from Cook county and the formation of a new county as was acclaimed Friday night by 350 civic leaders meeting in Evanston, is meeting 1 with a generous support throughout the western townships effected. A committee of 100 is to be formed to push the project. The proposed new county will extend 25 miles westward from the shore of Lake Michigan and be 12 miles wide. Arlington Heights is in almost the exact geographical center of this area. Because of its central location it is the logical location for tho county scat, givifig all citizens equal case in getting to the county government to transact nosii.

One of the objections to the present county set-up is that citizens would transact business or pay taxes must go into the citj's congestion to got to the county building. Location of the new county seat at Arlington Heights will not only benefit merchants by bringing in trade from persons coming to do business with the county, but the construction of court house, county jail, and other necessary buildings would relieve the depression among the long-idle local building tuules svorkurs. The new county would contain 155,000 residents, and would be surpassed in size only by thu ic- mnindcr of Cook county which would include Chicago, and by St, Cluir county in which is included the City of East St. Louis. To care for the business of this group would probably require a county building, to include courtrooms, supervisors' rooms, ollices, jail, at least as large as the $750,000 structure recently proposed in DuPage county, Evanston, with a population of 63,338, is the largest city in the proposed new county, but its choice as county seat is made impracticable by the same two factors which make Arlington Heights the logical choice.

First, it is not centrally located and furthermore is among the congestion of the city and North Shore, Second, as the largest city in tt-u area, locution of th? county seat there would result in a domination of the county government by Evanston similar to that today by Chicago. Bringing the seat out to the center of the county to a I smaller community would reduce the domination of the laigest city and give llie rest of the county's citizens an opportunity to be heard. Better government, home rule, and lower taxes are pointed out as the benefits of organizing a new county by William Lister, Evanston corporation counsel, who is one of the major backers of the project. "We could not, however, escape our share of the Cook county indebtedness," he said at Friday's meeting. C.

M. Modcrwell, former president of the Chicago school board, was the lone dissenting voice at the meeting. Pessimistic over the chances of the project, he suggested a movement for the reform of existing conditions. Another step towaids butter railroad crossing safety in Palatine was made Monday night, when the village board received a petition bearing 873 signatures asking that gates be installed. The petition was presented by W.

S. Dollinger, former village president, in the un- absence of L. J. Stein- brinck, chairman of the special committee to investigate the crossing question. A.

H. Schmidt, village trustee, moved that the committee consider the whose signers total 1 42 per cent of the community's population, and draw up a resolution to be passed at the next meeting of the board and sent with the petition to the Illinois commerce commission. Final decision of the question will lie with that commission. The memlbeis of the Ullage board, Roselle, were compelled to meet Tuesday night in the offices of the village collector, havinp; generously surrendered the Village hall early in the day to the voters, and the clerks and judges could not finish their tabulations until late in the night. No new business of any great importance came up for consideration.

The Bell Telephone company is asking for a renewal oi the franchise with the village, which expired recently. Action is expected to be taken on this matter at the next meeting. Signs are to be elected at the disposal plant warning irrespons- ibles to keep hands off. $2b reward will be ofi'eied iby the board to any person reporting offenders wiio in any w.iy damage this village property. The reward will be paid upon arrest and conviction of the guilty parties.

The boaid approved the bond furnished by Kdwm Ciieseke, treasurer of Roselle fire department; A spucuil contract between the village and tne Suburban dairv, calling for a special water rate, was approved by the board Tuesday night.

The attention of the village was called by the code authorities for the industry eft'cUcd that the bid accepted megular, and could not bo accepted by the village.

Something less than a record vote was cast Tuesday when voteis throughout DuPage county went to the polls to decide the bitterest contes.V. ever staged during a local bir partisan election. The total vote of 37,000, while less than the presidential vote of 44,000 case two years ago was none the less a big day's and represents the widespread interest of DuPage people in county, state and national affairs. i Robinson and Hellyer Democratic Winners For the first time during the last fifty years two Democrats were elected to office in DuPage county. William inson, Mayor of Westmont and a member of the DuPage county board from his township, Democratic candidate for circuit clerk, won a decisive victory over Eva M.

Ellsworth. present Republican incumbent, to fill a two year vacancy which was brought about by the death of Lewis Ellsworth; Mrs. Ellswoith had been appointed to fill her husband's position until this election. Robinson's margin was 2217 votes. He was third high vote man of the day.

The other Democratic victory was by the narrow margin of ust 13 votes when Arthur L. Hsllyer beat out the veteran Republican, John Hesterman, for the office of county treasurer. This race early established itself as the center of interest as the returns started pouring in at Wheatpn. Throughout the entire count of the 80 DuPage election districts, Hellyer and Hesterman were running neck and neck, one and then the other forging ahead by the narrow margins of from 10 to 75 votes. With 77 precincts in, Hesterman was leading by 28 votes and leaders of both parties were breathlessly awaiting the story that the final three had to tell.

The Democrats had sized up the situation and saw their man in by 148 votes and the Republicans were getting ready to concede it by something like that margin. But the final count for the 80 precincts was Hellyer 18,444 Hesterman 18,431. Knoch High Vote Man in County To Win. G. Knoch goes the honor of high vote man In the county for the day.

He polled a 21,521 vote to defeat his Democratic opponent, Benjamin Levering, by 6,200 for county judge. Arthur Bennett also won handily in his contest with the Democrat, Frank Pratt, for sheriff. His margin of victory was 4,700. Clarence V. Wageman, present Republican county clerk incumbent, had little difficulty in his contest with Thomas F.

Maisel for re-election Wageman's majority was 4,200. Incidentally he was second high vote man of the day. In the probate court area, we find the Republican incumbent of the office of probate judge, Edgar F. Thoma, winning over his opponent Frederick C. Harbour by a margin of 1,042 votes.

The two candidates both hail from Elmhurst. Bernard M. Long, Republican, probate clerk incumbent, was victor in a close race with the Democratic candidate, Felix McFaralnd. His margin was about 900 votes. Chauncey Reed Wins Congressional Battle Chauncey W.

Reed, DuPage state's attorney, after a bil- ter contest in every county in the llth congressional district has been declared the winner over James Howell, his Democratic opponent for a seat in congress, by approximately 800 votes. Reed carried DuPage by 381 votes; MeHen-y by 2617 votes; lost Kane by 137 votes and lost Will by 2,061 votes. Reed received 69,582 and Howell 68,782. O'Neill, Wood, Hennebry State Winners John L. Walker was beaten by Warren Wood from his own home town of Joliet in the contest for state representative from the district composing DuPage and Will counties.

Hennebry, the Democrat, was of course an easy victor. In the Republican run-off between the two Will county candidates and Lottie Holman O'Neill from DuPage county, Walker ran by over 4,000 votes. The final vote was Wood O'Neill 38.289; Walker 34,529. The vote by counties: Expect RFC Loan A RFC loan sufficient to pay a 20 to 25 per cent dividend to de- the First State Bank of Harrington IB expected to be approved within SO days.

The vote was 2232 for the seven election districts and 2554 in 1932. Bloomingdale towship, comprising Roselle, Bloomingdale and Cloverdale voted Democratic, all the way down the ballot.

The four election districts of north Addison township, Itasca, Wood Dale and two in Bensenville, divided the vote about fifty-fifty. DuPage Republican candidates, Knoch, Wageman, Bennett and Morgan received majorities in the total north Du Page vote. The Democratic candidates Harbour by 156, McFarland by 55, Hellyer by 196 and Robinson by 269 received north DuPage majorities..
