At last accounts it was thought one of the horses would die from the effects of the stings. An Olfl IMattsmooth Citizen Tells or the Cripple Creek Fire. Cuiri'LE Creek, May 5. (To the editor of The News) Thinking that some of my old friends in Plattsmouth might wish to hear of our groat con flagration here, I will give you a brief statement of what has occurred in this the greatest gold camp on earth. On April 2o we had a population here of at least 30,000, and a city containing many fine business blocks and many tlimsy wooden structures, together with a set of as wide-awake, active business men as an y city ever could boast of. About 1 o'clock on that day a fire started in the southeast part of tho business portion of tho city, and in about two hours one-fourth of the business portion and a larce portion of the residence part was laid in ashes. It took the post-office, with 3,000 letter-boxes mostly full of mail; the First National bank; a large num ber of stores, both small and great, and destroyed at least one million dollars worth of property and rendered thous ands homeless and penniless, and while all looked upou it as a great mis fortune, jTot none were discouraged, and before the hres had all gone out new buildings were rising like magic from the smoking ruins. But wo were still further doomed. On the 20th an other tire started, and in two hours timo three-fourths of what was left was swept out, and tho entire business part of the city, except a block, was wiped out. This took tho Portland hotel, worth $75,000; tho Palace hotel, just completed, and many other costly brick buildings, together with the residence part of the city. A fierce wind was blowing and tho llames would roll up, leap over and start lircs two blocks in advance. We had a splendid fire department and plenty of water, but all were power lessthe heat being so intenso that tho firemen could not approach near enough to reach tho flames, and the only alternative was to resort to dyna mite and blow up the buildings in ad vance of the flames. When tho work commenced, I was -at my ofllce, and my wife hurndly gathored our clothes together and induced two men to re move them to tne middle oi a vacant lot. Just then I arrived and we started up the mountain to avoid the flames. but before reaching our place of safety we looked back and saw tho homo we had just left behind go down with everything in it. We stood on that moutain-side and watched tho scene below. Such a signt is seldom seen. The Ilimes rolling, hissing; hure columns of smoko curling up and ob scjring the light; the boom of the ex plosions in blowing up the buildings; the flying debris; the rushing of men, women and children with horror and despair picturedron every face; rush ing vehicles loaded with goods of every description; people trying to es cape; the shouts of the tire men and the wail of distress, all commingled in one awful sound, reminded one of a graphic picture of Hades. The flames swept on, until forty blocks in the very centre of the city were swept from the face of the earth. The fire ceased about 3 p. in., and that night the mountain was ablaze with camp fires oven small groups of men, women and children huddled around tho little bundles they had saved, wrapped in quilts and blankets, with nothing to eat and no covering except the blue sky. QThen the work of relief commenced, Tho railways put on extra trains and carried thousands of people to Victor. Colorado Spring, Denver, Wyoming and other cities had provisions and necessities on tho track reaoy for dis tribution. Relief committees were ap pointed, and soon all were fed. Bedding and clothing camo in by the car-load, and bv evening of the 30th nearly all had been fed and cared for Thousands of people were rendered homeless and also thousands who had been comfortably fixed were penniless objects of charity. One would suppose that in the lace of such disaster all would be discouraged and lay down, but not so with us. W. S. Straton, tho owner of the Independence mine, tele graphed from Colorado Springs that tie had a million dollars to give towards rebuilding Ci lpple Creek, and tolegrams come pouring in from capi tansts in Denver and eastern cities saying that all tho money wanted could be had. That night the work of building coraraencou, and at tho end of the third day 107 buildings woro up and tne owners doing business in them. and in one day over 100 contracts woro made for the erection of brick build ings, which will be from two to four stories, costing about $2,000 to $2,000, 000 each. Thero are now at work in the city over 1,000 mechanics in re building, and the sound of the ham mer and saw is hoard day and nicrht Within the next ninety days thero will arise from tho ashes a greater Cripple Creek than was d roamed of before. Such exhibitions of pluck was never equalled. Lots are higher than over before and everyone is scramb ling to get hold of one. The lumber offices are surrounded by men stand ing in line to give in their orders, and lawyers are working day and night drawihg contracts. A vigilance com mittee, consisting of 100 men, has 1x3 en formed, and every tough is run out of the city. As soon as the frame and floor is in, men commence unload ing goods into it and opening' up busi- this is but a brief description, l ours truly, S. P. Vanatta.

The free silverites are no worse than the Ish- maehtes who bought Joseph at a bargain, paying in silver. They are no worse than Judas was, who sold out his interest in his best friend for thirty pieces of silver. I think on the whole they are better. They tell us that making gold the unit of value and only legal tender will injure the debtor class. Why so? The law is that a debtor can pay a debt of any amount in silver dollar--, no matter if the silver dollars are worth only 51 cents in gold. No "expost lacto" law can be passed. The law in force when the debt was contracted will govern. The hundreds of mil lions of debts can all be paid in our present silver dollars. Then what wrong is done the debtor class? If gold ever becomes the only legal ten der, men will not pay so much for the property they buy, either cash down or on time. A man has a right when buying property to otter what he pleases and what he pleases to pay in. No advantage can be taken of either class. The free silver party contains many wise men, and all the scrubs. The idea of the scrubs is that every one can pick up silver in unlimited quantities and buy an unlimited quantity of beer and tobacco with it. We must keep step with the advanced nations of the earth. Commerce is oue- of the great lights that spreads intelligence and makes peace more protitable than war. Commerce is the great missionary that gives each one the pro ducts of every other. Commerce will in time compel all nations to have the same unit of value and the same legal tender. The free silver men are honest in their mistaken opinions, but they cannot keep back the millenium that universal commerce will bring about. It will in time bring about one tool of exchange, one unit of value and one legal tender, except subsidary coin of less value in small transactions. More gold mines are being opened every year. Improved machin ery for obtaining the gold is all the time coming into use. Give men who have gold bullion some inducement for putting it into coin if you wish coin more plenty. Pass a free silver law and $tUU,UUO,Ol0 now in gold coin in the United States would be taken from circulation and no more gold bullion would be coined. The free silverites would have to hustle to get J62G,WI0,(JU0 cheap silver dollars to take the place of the gold dollars retired. The free silver men claim that the bankers and gold bugs have brought about the hard times. (Continued. J J. F. Oouu.
