ANOTHER FIRE.
Department Called Out by a Blaze at
Albert Degner's Barn.
From Tui'fdny'e Dully.
A flro'in the rear of Albert Degnor's
barn at his homo on South Fourth street
late yesterday nftornoon brought n re-
spouM ) from the department that con
sumed little time. The Mast and Qticou
Oity Hose companies and the Pioneer
Hook and Ladder company were on-
ronto before the alarm had finished
Hounding , but with all their hurry It
wns found that an impromptu organiza
tion of neighbors with garden hose nud
buckets had arrived ahead of thorn and
had the bla/o completely squelched ,
The damage to the property was
nothing whatever. It is believed that
n lighted cigar or cigarette stub or child
ren playing with matches were respon
sible for the tiro.
I wish to take this occasion to express
niy gratification and pride in the manner
in which the boys turned out to the fires
of yesterday and last week. Your
promptness and hearty co-operation
makes it a pleasure for mo to act as your
chief. 0. E. HAKTKOIIU.
Gold Discoved Near Wausa.
W. F. Murkle , living eight miles
northeast of this town , has probably
discovered a gold miuo on his farm.
He was digging n well in a draw last |
week when he struck upon a layer of
gold colored ere or rock. Ho brought a
mimplo of it to town nud took it in to
Jeweler Johusou to have it tested. Mr.
Johnson declares that the eainplo con-
tctltiB n big percentage of pure gold and
nays Mr. Murkle has struck a bonanza.
To make doubly sure of the matter the
V J sample wns forwarded to the state geol-
oglut at Lincoln for further tost. Mr.
MuilcloiwyH that judging from what
was found when digging the well there
Is an amount of the ere deposited in the
same draw , nnd if It proves to possets
the poicontago of gold now anticipated
his fortune IH otirtainly iniulo. The
finding of the state geologist is awaltod
with interest iu these parts. Wanna

Blessed , yea , thrice blessed , is the man

NEW CONGREGATIONAL PASTOR
Dr. Ashley Receives and Accepts a
Call Will Provide a Parsonage.
From Wodnexlny's Dal y.
D At the special business meeting of the
First Congregational church held last
evening the chnrch extended a call to Dr.
John T. Ashley of Fostoria , Ohio , to become -
come the pastor hero. Rev. Mr. Ashley
has filled the pulpit here for the past
mouth and that ho has douo so with
satisfaction to the m uiborship was at
tested by the notion of the mooting last
light.
A committee was appointed to wait
upou Dr , Ashley and inform him of the
notion taken. lie was by them escorted
to the meeting where ho was given
n hearty greeting. The doctor spoke olo-
ineutly , though briefly thanking the
church for its actlouspeakiug especially
of a pastor's relation to the church and
the great mission of the church.
A committee was appointed to arrange
for calling n council of the churches to
install Dr. Ashley , Those services will
probably take place during the latter
part of September.
Tlio meeting also voted to provide a
pnrsouogo.for the pastor , a committee
jcing appointed to investigate the
matter with n view to purchasing or
building n suitable residence. This
committee is to report at an adjourned
meeting of the church to bo held Friday
evening of this week. Contributions
toward providing a parsonage have al
ready boon pledged to the amount of
Jl,800 and it is hoped thnt the church
may'see the way clear to speedily se
cure such a one that will bo a credit not
only to the church and the pastor butte
to the community as well.
Dr. Ashley will preach hero next Sun-
lay and then will probably be absent
from the oity for a month or so closing
up his affairs at his homo in Ohio.

The Iowa team was ounblod to win

gainst ono of Omaha's best teams and
gainst Homo of the swiftest teams of

ivoti to understand that they might ox
ect shabby treatment at the hands of
ho people of Norfolk and were delight
ully disappointed to find that the esti-

The Norfolk team certainly did well
