LAST NIGHT'S FIRE , The Novelty Wood Works Destroyed by Fire Last Night , \n AlnrmltiK Amount of Sinoko Xlio Flro Department Answered Promptly. About 10:30 : last night there was a oud cry of Gro on Douglaa direct. People ujhod into the atroot , which in the vicin- ty of Eleventh street was filled with moke. An alarm was turned in and the opnrtmont responded promptly and yore on the spot in ix very few moments. The fire was found to bo in the Novelty Vood Works , between Douglas and Dodge streets , on the west side of Slovonth street. The building , which ras only ono story high , and a frame , \raa soon n mags of flames , they having irat burst through the roof near the molccstack. IIoso companies Nos. 2 and 3 soon had wo streams playing upon the burning ntilding and , in a few minutca had the ire quenched , not , however , until the > uildiiig wan almost totally destroyed. As aoon as water was thrown upon the ire , the strcota in that vicinity were fill- id with a dense black smoke which was uirly suffocating and it was a difficult natter to got near the firo. It vrfti impossible last night to find out what damage was done or to oven ascor- ain who was the owner of the establish ment. It Booms that some casting waa done n the building , and that a quantity of lot castings wore loft in close proximity o some combustible matter , and it was n this way that the building was fired. It was very near to the magnificent low building of Stubbcndorf & Co. . and t is certainly a very lucky thing that it raa discovered and extinguished so soon.

WHY 3AS BILLS AEE HIGH , General Increase In the Cost or IjlKl't Notwithstanding the Com petition In Electricity. More complaint than over haa lately joon made about the aizo of gas bills in Omaha , and the patrons of the gas com pany have boon nt n loss to understand , vhy their bills should bo hrgor at the rate of $2.50 per thousand than they were when gas was from $3.00 to $4.00 lor thousand. The following article from L'ho Now York Evening Post , of last Saturday , sheds a very clear light on this dark subject , and will bo read with a roat deal of interest : Business men who keep an eye upon , ho minor expenses of their offices , must : iavo noticed that within the last tvro years their gns bills have considerably increased. If any ono who has paid for about the same amount of lighting dur- the past few years , will compare the bills of December , 1880 , for instance , with these of December , 1881) ) , there will , in most cases , bo found reason for surprise. The price charged for gas remains the sarao , but the amount of gas burned is rogistorcd by the motors at a largo in crease. So common have complaints as to this unaccountable increase become ol late , that a reporter of The Evening Posl called upon several business houses and found this experience to bo gpnoral. In ono place , where the gas bills average from $50 to $00 a month , the increase inco 1880 had boon one-third , although no more burners v ere used , and , owing to the cost , special care had boon taken this winter not to waste gns. In the course of investigation the re porter mot ono gentleman who had lookcc into the matter to nome purpose and be lieved that ho understood the mystery. "About two years ago , " said ho , "tho gas companies of this citywith ono exception perhaps , began to mix water gas with their coal gan. By passing utoam over live coala the oxygen of the water is taken by the coal , leaving the hydrogen froo. This hydrogen gas is not , howoyorn gooc illuminator without some heavier carbon gas , but by mixing the two a gas of fair quality is obtained , and this is what the companies are now aondinc ; out. The water gas coats about one-third the price of coal gas. The compound is of a mud lighter specific gravity than ordinary coa gas , and the result is that the motor , being ing adapted to a heavier and moro slug gish gas , registers faster. Ordinary burners allow moro of this gas to flow out than can bo burned. Oxygen can not bo obtained from the air fas enough to make a complete combustioi so that gas is wasted and makes itsel visible in blackened ceilings and walla Besides thcso troubles it is said to bo det rimental to health. It has boon estimat ed that unless the burners of a house are changed when water gas is introduced , the quantity of gas nominally bum tc will bo 30 per cent , nioro than of the old coal gas , and the amount of light will bo no greater. Another reason why more gan is used in houses than there ought to bo , is the general practice among the gas companies of keeping up a strong press ure long after there is any demand for it , At about nine o'clock every evening the rail for goa begins to fall on' ; the chops put up their shutters , the dining- rooms in Now York's 100,000 , homes are closed and all cooking by gas is over for the day. In , England the law directs the company to lieop the gas in the pipes at a steady pressure. In Now York the com- names do not take the trouble to regu late the pressure , finding it to their profit to force through the mains as much gas as possible. It will often bo noticed during the evening that the llnnio of the gas burners suddenly ilaroa up , allowing that moro gas is being forced through them than can bo burned , with the result that in the long run U company gains many dollars at the ex pense of the consumer. It is owing to these peculiarities of the now gas that the bills are larger , and the light the same. The only way to regulate the matter is to change the burners , which may bo done at a trifling cost , and will bo done by the gas com panies if the request is mado. Another dovho , which has good features , is the automatic pressure regulator , of which half-a-dozen patterns are in the market. "Tho competition of the electric light companies was expected to bring down the piico of gass , but has not done so , ilthouyh gas la made nuw for half what it uuod to cont. At % l a thousand feet there is a fair profit upon gas , for which ( ho company chat-go $2.25 u thousand taut. In Philadelphia , where the city iwns the gas company , the charge for gas s lens than here , and n profit of $10,000- XX ) has boon made in the last ten years , lotwithstanding corruption and fraud in ho management , Our older Now York companies are perfect gold mines , which lot only make a profit on their gas , but got ntorcat on a vast sum of money received > n deposit for meters , thus doing n bank- ng business without paying tax.

In the plato for spring are represented five gentlemen , of ages ranging from twenty to fifty years. The cot of all the figures appear abnormally nrgo. Thinking that this seeming dis- iroportion might arise from the fault of .ho lithographer , ft fashionable boot maker was asked yesterday about the coming stylo. Ho replied : "Tho fashion-plate is corrost so far as shoos are concerned , as never before has 'ashion decreed such largo foot wear. I am oven now making a pair of shoos fern n society leader. Como and BOO. " The shoea referred to were simply monsters , but what made them so was not discernible in the picture nor ex plained by the shoemaker. The shoes w.ero digitated to match the now hose which gives each too a room to itsolf. They are regular beauties and had com fort written all over them. In the plato _ for summer fashions are the portraits of three well-known young L'ontlemon of the upper middle class. Ono of thcso wears a duster cut in the shape of a swallow tail. It is understood that these duators will bo all the rage at full dross allaira during the coming sum mer. Another gentleman holds in his hand a wluto straw hat moulded like unto the high still' hat. It is a svroot thing , nnd stylish men anxiously await the 115th day of Juno , wlion they can ap pear on the streets with comparative safety in the now style hat. The decree has gone forth that mittens shall supersede gloves on any and all oc casions where gloves have been heretofore worn. This is a radical change and a sur prising ono. As yet the order is nol generally known , and several of the closest followers of fashion have ex pressed ignorance when asked about the matter. Others , however , acknowledged that they had an inkling thai such a phango would bo made , but thoy/had no idea that it had already gone into practice. A glover who nas watched the now movement from its inception says that gentleman will soar become accustomed to the change , and will look back upon the glove with horror and disdainand sigh for the hours misspent in putting on and pulling off the obstinate kid. Several designs for the incoming mitten were exhibited , and il is astonishing how neat and small they me , appearing as closo-fitting as gloves , yet they slip over the hands with sucl ease that it is pleasure toroar them.

CAIITHAOE , Minor Co. , Dak. , January 18. Since the "cold wiwo , " that surged 11 chilling breezes over this as wall as other flections of the country , hi the opening vreolc of the now year , when our thermometers registered from 25 ° .o . 40 ° below zero , our fair south land ias had a return of the mild , beautiful weather of moat of last Docombor.Bright , calm days , ranging from 40 P to C0 ° above , are causing the late December snow to vanish from our gentle undulat- ng prarios , which are resuming their autumn hues of brown , and walking over ho soft , moist furrows of late breaking cstonlay , it scorned that but a few inoro such days would bo required to sot , ho plow again in motion , and for our 'armors ' to complete deferred backsetting oven before the windy ides of March sot in. Our Dakota nights , of late , have boon simply perfect , the full moon bathing the ; > lains in light , the snow glistening in leecy diamond-sparkling whiteness beneath - noath its tadianco , and warm north winds occasionally driving snowy masses of clouds southward across the blue sky , studded with brightly shining stars. Our much talked of "blizzards'1 have , thus far , failed to put in an appearance this winter , The eastern scribes who como hither , or rather draw on their inexhaustible - exhaustible imaginations to picture forth the horrors of these fcstivo zephyrs , uro respectfully recommended to seek the moro congenial sphere of Minnesota , and still further east , for the playtul cyclone ; they are "wluto elephants" in this locality. In Watertown , Dakota , last winter , the writer witnessed two or threoof what might bo called "fair to medium" bliz zards , in no case lasting over 21 hours , and during the whole winter there was scarcely snow enough there to cover the ground. Last spring hero was wet and windy , as northern springs generally are in other localities. Breaking was begun in April. Corn and oats wore well under way in Juno. Thousands of acres of virgin sod have boon turned over in this section since lost spring , which will bo sowed mainly to wheat the coming season. The fall was mild and dry , so little moisture as to retard our farmers somewhat in their backsetting , but not to any noticea ble extent. I came down into Kingsbury county the last of March , and have lived on my land since the Gth of April , and never before enjoyed bettor health , bettor sleep or a bettor appetite since I began what is sometimes , somewhat facetiously , termed "roughing it" in my "little sod shanty on the claim. " One fact alone will speak for itself as to the rigor of the piesent winter. A ton of coal ( cost § 8 for Indiana block ) has lasted mo , in constant residence , since October Oth , and from present in dications will hold out until March. A few cornstalks and bits of board have been the only supplement. Can dwell ers in Now York or Wisconsin do bottorl The now year is opening with the most favorable and auspicious indications for a steadily growing and increasing develop ment of this garden spot of Dakota. Our southern tier of counties are rich in every requisite for successful fanning ; soil , water , climate , nominal taxation , constantly xtonding railroad facilities , and a thrifty , enterprising , intelligent and moral people ; ready to welcome every man of brains and energy , bo ho rich or poor , and here ho can find a happy , prosperous homo. Wheat , last season , ranged from twenty to forty bushels per acre ; outs averaged from forty to sixtj ; considerable flax was raised , which was i < old from § 1 upward per bushel , and paid enough in mosl cases to pay for the land on which it was grown after paying all expenses ; pota toes , turnips , onions , and .ill rrot crops , as usual , fairly "shouted,1 f um 40 to 50 tubers to a bushel wis by ' "i moans uncommon. The "Dakota Ktidbit" in the Chicago exposition , e , < iko foe itself last October to those iv ho were privileged to see it. Prairie hay can bo put up of the best quality and in almost limitless quantity timing the season , and finds a ready market during the wintor.at from S3 to 95 per ton. Butter now brings 25 to ttG cents per lb. , in the towns , eggs 30 to 35 cents per doz. , poultry 10 cents per lb. , dressed. Flour , groceries and canned goods can now bo bought at nearly east ern prices. Beef is sold for from 8 < ? D to i2i cents per lb. for best cuts ; salt pork is now selling for 0 cents per lb. Parties desiring to makp investments can find few bettor localities. On the north the thriving town of Iroquois , in Kingsbury county , eighteen miles east of Huron , has doubled in population und growth within the last year. Esmond , toil miles south , on the now branch of the Chicago & .Northwestern , will develop into a lively little town the coming season. Carthage , on the Rod- stone , a clear , over-running stream , half way between Iroquois and Howard City , the county seat of Minor county , has aprung up , like an Aloddan's palaco.from a single triune house and two or throe ihantios last Juno , to its present proportions tions of a thriving , go-ahead , handsome town of Bomo 200 population , with five general stores to supply an over increas ing trade from four counties , of which it a the radiating point or cent re ; two hnrd- ware , bankdrug store , two moat markets , lovoral grain warehouses , a line depot , ; wo lunibor und three coal firms , a com modious postofiice , four church organi/- ations and a literary society.

There acorns to bo a great tendency to masquerades this season in Omaha. Why it is wo know not. It may bo that under the veil of a false face a flirtation may bo carried on with greater case , and mar ried men can flirt to their heart's con tent without being found out. Ono thing is certain , there is an unus ually largo number of masquerade balls being given this season. In addition to five or six , which have boon given in the past few weeks , there are still more to follow. This evening occurs thn private mas- qaorado party given by the Omaha Miun- norchor society , in Central hall , on Four teenth street between Douglas and Dodge streets. These parties have boon of a public nature in former years , but as a rough and boisterous clement attended , much to the dislike of the society , it was determined to make this ono of a private nature , hence no ono will bo able to purchase a ticket for the ball except ho bo able to show an invita tion properly signed by some member of the society. On Wednesday evening next , a mas- qucrado ball will bo given in the Gorman American hall on Harnoy street , be tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets. This ball is also of a piivato character , and it will require an invitation to gain admittance to the hall. FALCONER'S CLERKS. It has boon whispered that the cloiks in N. B. Falconer's dry goods store were soon to give a maequorado ball. If such plans are consummated , all who are for tunate enough to secure an invitation may rest assured that a most enjoyable time will bo had. The party will beheld hold in falconer's hall , and as the clerks of this establishment are in the habit of giving nice little parties , this ono is looked forward to with considerable in terest. Wo will give the dito as soon as announced. OTHER 1JALLS. On Friday night occurs the ball of the Burns club. It is in honor of the 125th anniversary of the birth of the Scotch poet , Robert Burns , and will bo given in Crounse's hall. The supper will bo served in the Tromont restaurant. It will bo in the nature of a banquet , and will begin promptly at 8 o'clock. After the banquet dancing will bo indulged in. OMAHA TUKNVEIIEIN. On Saturday night , January 20 , the Omaha Turnverein will give a party in the new hall on Harnoy street , between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets. It will no doubt bo of a voay pleasant na ture , as their parties always are. ESMEHAI.DA CLUB. The Eamcralda club will close h very pleasant and successful series of parties with a grand leap year party on Thursday evening , January 31 , in Masonic hall. This club have had a highly successful and enjoyable season , and the manage ment may well congratulate themselves. They boys are now all on nettles until they have received an invitation to the leap year party. THE QUACKS- The llcquisitlon 1'npcrs on the AVay nml They AV111 Soon Itcturn to Teiino-hct ) .

Mr. Cannon says that ho lias followed these follows for a number of weeks and that ho is receiving nothing for his trouble and is obliged to pay his own ex penses besides. Ho is doing it more through ollicial pride than anything else. No movement has boon made yet to procure the release of the prisoners. A. K. Knov , of Ballad Center , Is at the Metropolitan.
