A baggage car on tho Union Pacific lino was destroyed by fire at Hanna on Saturday last, about midnight, and a great many ChristmaB presents burned. The car was a baggage car and was filled partly with baggage and partly mail. Tho car waB tho third from tho engine, forming part of east bound train No. 10. When tho fire was dis covered tho trainmen and a number of passengers tried to do all that could be dono to save tho contents of the car, but as a stiff gale was blowing at tho time very little could bo dono and tho car had to bo hurriedly detached from tho train in order to avoid disaster. There were about two hundred Backs of mall in this car, of which practically nothing has been saved, tho entire car having been destroyed. A good portion of the baggage was saved, however. The baggage master on thia train was badly burned. Choyenno Tribune. Christmas Service at Catholic Church.

Great'intercst attaches to tho coming of Dan'Shannon, whoso picturo nppears herewith. His work at Corning, where ho is now, proves successful ns at other places. Tho work" was very difficult at first, but up to a week ago 120 persons were reported as taking a stand in tho new life. Tho evangelist was at Ore gon City boforo going to Corning as has already been mentioned in this pa per. A wonderful mooting with 400 conversions resulted. A leading relig ious paper of tho Pacific coast has this to soy concerning tho Oregon City work: Great crowds were turned aw,ay and could not get in. At many of the services were found people who came to hear the evangelist from great dis tances in Clackamas County. Tho Cour ier says Shannon is tho simplest and Dlainest gospel preacher that over .came to Oregon City. "Truth is truth to him and tho Bible is God's inspired book and he preaches hell with a venT geanco. Men tromblo under his pow erful appeals for a clean life and it is a common sight to seo men, strong men, weep like babicB as tho conviction of sin comes upon them and tho Evangel ist holds them over tho pit of hell. Whenever men's meetings are an nounced tho house is always crowded and it is a noticeable fact that men go to hear him who have not darkened a church door for years. Tho news has gone abroad that there have been Bpec ial meetings at which was discussed what to do with Shannon, but tho con clusion was reached that Shannon wus telling tho truth. Oregon City today is alive with revival interest. In every saloon, grocery Btore, shop, oflico and on every street corner, in every homo tho revival is tho main topic for discus sion. Some curso Shannon and others praiso him. Many in Oregon City do not wish to hear him because of tho terrible truths ho drives homo which hit the nail on the head. He says there are men in Oregon City who have hell ish, damnable sin in th"ir lives, who have sold out to the devil and pawned their ticket nnd aro afraid to hear tho truth about their lives and for that reason they do not come."

FIFTY CENTS TO Mail Order or Phone to Theatre. Merriest, Rapidest, Prettiest Dashing Riot Music, Laughter, Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls, Protruding Show Windows. Editok Tkiiiunr The condition of Dewey street is very unsatisfactory and is liablo to cause trouble most any time. There has been n grent change in the last few years in store fronts. Formerly a long plate glass running from tho sidewalk to the ceiling was all tho fash'on, but tho modern, which is far handsomer, is to build a show win dow about two feet beyond tho main building, and in order to build tho show windows to buildings already erected it is necessary to build out two feet on tho sidewalk. There aro scverul who have done so which has added greatly to tho appearance of tho street but they havo taken considerable risk for onjinanco beginning on pngn 79, Sec. 12 reads: "It shall bo unlawful for any person to display wares or mcrchnndiao in front of or beside his business placo and outsidojho lot line of such business place." Tho penalty for violution may be $100 fine or three months in jail. If n person were thrown against ono of the windows and waa seriously cue and injured by tho broken glass, tho owner of the window would be responsible for full damages, and the merchant who displays goods in ono of tho show win dows is liable to go to jail for three months. Permission of tho mayor and council to break an ordinance will be no defense, for if they can grant you tho privilcgo to build out two feet they can grant you the priviledgo of building out tup feet, which would cause dreadful looking Btreots. Tho streots aro for tho public and no power but tho public can change them. See tho statutes ch. M, Art.4; Sec. 56: "Cities of tho sec ond class and villages shall bo bodies corporate and politic nnd may suo and be sued, contract or be contracted with, ncquire, hold and convoy property, real or personal; provided that real proper ty shall only bo convoyed by tho proper authorities of such city or village when so authorized by a vote of the electors thereof." There arc a largo number of property holdern on Dowoy street who would like to build show windows this spring if they could legnlly do it, but they will not otherwise, and no doubt but in less-than in two years all tho stores on Dewey street would have new show windows which would make a beautiful street especially after night when lighted. The problem might bo solved by a voto of tho electors at next April election to quit claim two feet wide and no more ill front of all tho storos, consideration Jfivo or moro dol lars for every twenty-two feet, for tho purposo of show windows.

Tho Christmas Bcason should revivo tho spirit of joy nnd glad ness because of what tho great featival represents "Peace on earth and good will to men" should bo our purpose. We should not only endeavor to he hap py ourselves, but should try to make others happy. In tho gifts wo bestow there should be a reflex benefit, an in making others happy we should find true happiness ourselves. In tho re maining uays oi the year, winch aro busy ones for most of us, let ub bo joy ful, peuceful and generous. Through thoBO attributes human hearts may catch an echo of tho song tho angola sang in the fields of Bethlehem contur ies ago. A DOLLAR-FIFTY. fv The Jcffersons in "The Rivals."

This docs not in clude about' tho anmo number of cars from O'Fnllons and seventy-fiver cars from Nichols. W. T. Miller raised fifteen acres of beets which averaged Bovcntecn tons per aero and netted him $1,128, or an nvcrago of aeventy-fivo dollars per aero. There was some big monny made by Bomo farmers on sugar beets, and thero wore others who mndo very little An interesting phaso of the turiff question has been developed by tho congressional hearing at Washington. For instance, Carnegie declares that thoBtcel industry does not need a protec tive duty any longer. Somo of tho smal ler steel makers suy that it doeB, i. e., that tho small fellows need it in order to hold their own against tho trust, all of which is a new argument in favor of tariff duties and and not ono contem plated in tho original scheme of protec tectlon. If it is to bo a survival of tho fittest, or tho biggest, tho Bteel trust can no doubt tako care of itself; but after it has by sheer bigness nnd strength cleaned up the field of all com petitors, what may tho public expect from tho stool trust? It is not difficult to imagine. Kearney Hub. Marked For Death. death. A grave-yard cough was tearing my iuhkb iu uce. uoctors iaiicu to help me, and Dope had lied, when my nusoanu goi ur.
