IS The Most Disastrous Conflagration
j j in the Life of the Cit
j § Five Business Houses Destroyed.
fl ' Firo Department Does Good Service
I K Under Many Disadvantages.
M Early ( about 3 o'clock , ) yesterday
9 morning , the city was visited by a con-
§ | flagration , • which in less time than is re-
1 | quired to chronicle the facts , reduced
[ I to ashes Lytle Bros. & Co. 's hardware
lij ' store , J. D. Shahan's furniture and un-
I I jfj . dertaking establishment , S. JL. Green's
I ill building , J. A. Deitzer's ten-cent.store
I ill aQd Smith & Bates' barber shop , all
I H frame structures.
I . IJ THE ORIGIN OP THE FIEE
I It Seems to be enshrouded in more or
I 1 less of doubt , at least there is a variety
Iff • of expressed opinion on the subject ; but
1 If however that may be , in a space of
11II time almost incredibly brief , all five of
lH * e aD0Ve structures , with contents ,
II J | were enveloped in the furious flames
I i If and past the possibility of saving. So ,
I m II soon after the department were playing
II If water on the fire , it was necessary to
Ijjfi ; direct attention to adjoining property ,
I { If i l e * mmense general store of J. C. Al-
I urn len & Co. being in imminent danger.
I 111 By dint of heroic effort the building was
llli saved , although considerably scorched
I Bj by the intense heat. After this danger
UK was passed , the McNeely building and
ll-Ei the smaller buildings in rear of the
IpSf burning houses absorbed the attention
I III of the department and of the willing
B | ones who rendered efficient assistance.
IS These were all saved ; not , however , be-
I I fore the second story and contents of
I m the McNeely building were practically
I destroyed. The fight to conquer the
I ffi { flames at this point called for the most
I 1 " ' persistent bravery , and many burns and
mlM sore eyes were received.
THE LOSSES SUSTAINED.
U Upon Lytle Bros. & Co. falls the
IM heaviest blow. Their stock and build-
M ing , worth about § 12,000 , being insur-
M ed in the small sum of $3,000. The
IfJf books of the Benkelman store , lately
Pi sold by them , are among tbe ruins , en-
bI tailing additional loss.
If 1 ! Mr. J. D. Shahan , the .furniture deal-
l | J er and undertaker , comes next on the
Hi list of heavy losers. His stock invoic-
mm , ed perhaps $5,000. His insurance be-
HB | y ing $2,900. The building was the prop-
HS \ erty of Mr. V. Franklin , whose loss is
w | $1,000 , and no insurance.
Big Dr. S. L. Green's building had just
J recently been vacated by GA. . Morgan ,
Mm the harness dealer. The doctor figures
MM his loss at $1,500. Insurance $750.
Hj The stock of the ten-cent store was a
H total loss , , practically. Mr. J. A. Deit-
Wm * zer , gives his loss , which includes over
Wm $300 in cash , at $800. The building
Ijf • occupied by Mr. Deitzer , also that by
Igg ' Smith & Bates , the barbers , were the
mm property of Brewer & Wilcox. Their
In loss of $650 , is fully covered by in-
> . The barbers succeeded in
_ * surance. re-
H ( moving their furniture and tools with
g j " \ but nominal loss.
fl K " The loss sustained by Albert McMil-
fl len , from .water , is heavy , and will
fl probably reach the-$1,000 mark. He
fl is insured for $3,000. The damage to
B the building will .not fall far short of
$2,000. Insurance of $4,000 will fully
B ' cover the damage.
B j Dr.T. B. Stutzman , who occupied an
B j office in the McNeely brick , comes in
B I for a total and * heavy loss. All his val-
B j uable books , instruments and appara-
B I tus , save an operating chair , were de
ll- [ stroyed. . Money cannot replace some
I J of the articles. $1,000 may cover his
i f loss. No insurance.

} * A in the front of the same building. His
i. j * instruments and stock was damaged

r ' Mr. J. A. VahShoik and family qc-

figure at $300 ; no insurance.

Two years ago the Burlington graded aroad-
edup the Frenchman valley from Culbertson , -
eb. , to Holyoke , Colo. , and the town-site
ampany laid out towns and sold lots , the pur-
iiasers believing that tho road'would speedily °
d finished. But the old grade still stands
a
ith not a rail laid thereon. The town of Palit <
ide and the other towns along tho line laid tho • *
ise before the state board of transportation , w
nd , though powerless to act for want of jurisq
Iction , they have by friendly negotiations &
leceeded in getting a. promise out of the 0 ]

A LOCOMOTIVE FIRING SCHOOL.
An exchange says that the Burlington is BI
racticing economy at every possible point , | j
ie latest move being the establishment of a bi
comotive firing school for the purpose of edOJ
mtingits firemen in the methods , of firing .
liich'are 'tho.mpst'economical for the com- , ,
iny. In order to facilitate the instructions
e school has been started in a car which was m
rmerly used asla dynamometer car , in which to
o instructor travels to different points on a
n line , examining tho firemen and giving injt
ructions aftor the manner of tbe air brake
structions , same as for the automatic brake ;
ere will bo a system of marks , and those w
; vlng attained the greatest familiarity with pr
e theories and nomenclature of scientific H
ing will be given tbe highest marks and the uB
eference in promotton. Firemen : as a rule
ivo very little regard for economy , and do ? J
it care how much fuel they use so long as ui

Exclusively of trusc funds , there
are in the treasury of the United States
in Washington $105,000,000 , principal
ly in good and silver. There are , be
sides this , $283,000,000 in new green
backs and coin " certificates , and $218-
000,600 , worth of bonds. Tho total is
$096,000,000 , but not all of this large
sum represents money. In the New
York sub-treasury there are $185,000 , -
000 , the greater part of which is gold.
The entire amount is nearly $900,000-
000. No other nation in the world has
any such sum in its depository. That
in the counting of this enormous amount
there should be no discrepancy is a real
ly remarkable fact. Four years ago
there was a discrepancy of two cents
discovered , but this was afterward ex
plained by the discovery of the missing
coppers , which had escaped from a bag
of minor coins and rolled into a * corner
of the vault. The honesty with which
this vast sum of money is cared for is
not more marked than is the intelligence.
Nowhere else in the world are vast pub
lic or large private trusts under so se
vere , so correct and so honest a guard
ianship. Whatever party has the reins
of government , there is scrupulous and
surpassing fidelity exhibited in the care
of the public funds. The treasurer at
Washington and the assistant treasurer
in New York have been replaced with
new men. It is not too much to ex
pect that at the close of their term of
duty , the hundreds of millions in their
keeping will be found intact.

THE FRESHET.
( f A homeless , drifting band are we , For , strange to say , 'tis not confined 9
" . Yet lucky in a high degree , To cleaning things of every kind , I
For when the house was swept away From coarsest cloth to finest lace , ' 9
Before the freshet yesterday , From painted walls to pimpled face , ' _ {
To find the bottom went the cans. But proves indeed the greatest prize , - fl
Along with kettles , spoons , and pans ; When rain descends and rivers rise ; 9
But safe above the house and mill. So while we have a life to save , jl
The ' IVORY SOAP' was floating still ! We'll praise theSoapthatridesthewaYeP '
A WORD OF WARNING. M
There are many white soaps , each represented to be "just as good as the' Ivory1 j * : j9
they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of _ |
the genuine , Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it. fl
