enjoyed the hospitality of the

games. It was a very congenial
gathering and every guest seemed
to enjoy every moment.. Though
the game was of the progressive
nature, no prizes were awarded yet
the lack of trophies did not lessen
the energy which the players dis
played. If the spirit displayed by
the guests on the first day of the
New Year is indicative of their
temperanient during the succeed
ing twelve months, each will cer
tainly have a happy and. pleasant
year. Mr. and Mrs. Rincker proved
very successful entertainers, and
thejr guests had an evening of ideal
enjoyment. Nicely prepared re
freshments were served during the

present were Messrs. and Mes
dames H. S. White. II. M. Grimes.

Total Loss by Tiro.
Shortly after midnight last
night fire broke out in Victor Mey
er's hard wate store and burned the
building almost to the ground and
destroyed its contents. Mr. and
Mrs. Meyers and their two sons
were at the dance when the lire
broke out so its origin is a mystery.
No lamp had been left burning
and they thought there was but
little fire in the stove. Just after
the fire was discovered it reached
the powder which was in stock
and the explosion scattered pieces
of burning wood all through the
building so that the entire struc
ture was soon ablaze. The fire de
partment succeeded in keeping the
fire from spreading to any of the
adjoining buildings but was un
able to save the Meyer building
because of the tremendous start
the fire had gotton. It was also
impossible to effect an entrance
into the building and the only
articles which were saved was a
center table and a carpet sweeper
which were in the front window
and two guns which were blown
out through the windows into
the street by the force ol the pow
der explosion, Mr. Meyer's in
voice shows that the value of the
stock on hand whs $7,000 and the
building is estimated by him to
have been worth $4000, The total
amount of insurance carried was
$5,000, The fire proof shed which
adjoined the store on the notth
was but little damaged. Mr.
Meyer expects to rebuild at once
and will put up some kind of a
fire proof building but his plans
are necessarily quite indefinite as
yet,
The firemen suffered considera
bly while fighting the fire owing to
the cold, which caused the water to
freeze upon their clothing.

It is expected the work of stor
ing the ice can be commenced this
week. The ice on the lake has
already attained a thickness of
eight inches aud is stil' freezing
quite rapidly. The How of water
from the pump is raising the level
ot the lake a quarter of an inch
every day, llius solving very
effectually the problem of keeping
the lake well filled,
The triple Union Pacific ice
house has been completed and the
work of putting in the new plat
forms and elevators on all of the
ice houses has been commenced.
The elevator system which is being
put in is quite an clahuratc and
expensive one. It will greatly ex
pedite the handling ot the ice nnd
lessen the loss from melting in sum
mer. The plant will be operated
by a larire gasoline engine and a
shaft which will run the entire
length of the icehouses.
