Morrill Suffers Loss.
Firo nt one o'clock last night gutted
tho interior of the barn on the premises
of Dr. D, E. Morrill on west Fourth
street, causing a loss which is placed at
about one thousand dollprs by the owner.
The insurance held was ?100 on the
building and $200 on tho contents.
Tho origin of tho fire is a mystery, ns
the building is electrically lighted, and
no other light had been used. The lower
floor of the barn had been used ns a
kindergarten room by Miss Alma
Morrill and ope or two girl associates,
and they hud been in the building during
tho early part of tho evening and when
leaving everything was in good shape.
Tho fire started nenr a window on tho
alley and may hnvo been of incendinry
orgin. On the second floor was stored tho
winter clothing and furnishings of tho
family, and those were completely des
troyed, together with many other
articles of value.
The Are had gained considerable
headway before discovered, but was
quickly extinguished after tho arrival
of the hose company.
Busy Day for Firemen. .
Sunday was a busy day for the fire
laddies, no less than four alarms being
turned in. Tho first was just before
noon, due to burning prairie near tho
Standard oil tanks in the oast ond of
the yards. A. B. Hoagland and others
extinguished the burning grass. In the.
afternoon the Frank Kemp house near
the new round house was burned to tho
ground, there not being sufficient hose
at hand to reach the building. Kemp
succeeded in carrying out mo3t of his
furniture. Lator in tho nftornoon a
pile of tios in the east end of tho rail
road yards caught fire but the flames
were easily subdued. The fourth nlarm
was false, at least the fire could not be
located.

Re-Mark Roufe.
Messrs. McDonald, Ogter, McGovern
Sandall, Shaffer and Hupfer , drove
through to Gothonburg Sunday and re
marked the autombbile route, making it
so plain that none can now go astray
between this city and the Dawson
county town. The poles "at intervals
were not only ro-paintod the standard
colors, but at turns and bridges the
letter "S" was mado large and plain.
At intervals, the letter "T" is also dis
played, indicating the Trans-continental
route. This work is to bo commended,
especially as tourists had been complain
ing that tho route was not well marked.

Wo are offering "Tho Beauty and
tho Boast," a three reel production, in
which magnificono and splendor nro ex
emplified in overy scene, ono thnt ap
peals to tho artistic sentiment of every
individual and fills with delight nnd joy
the honrts of nil children. This is a
fairy talo of the highest typo, thorc
are many fino scenes. Ono of tho best
is the opening showing a stroet. Thu
denunciation Intor by tho witch of tho
prince, whore tho latter is transformed
into a bonst and nil the court followors
scntter in panic through tho pillared
corridors, is strong dramatically.
Another novel scene is whoro Beauty
has gono to tho pnlnco to take upon her
self the penalty imposed by tho boast
upon her father as a punishment for
taking a rose from thu palaco gardens
looks in the plncid, dark waters of tho
marblo rimmod pool and sees tho vision
ot her futhor ill nt homo. It 13 a strik
ing conception. Tho final picture, tho
arrival of Beauty transformed into a
princess, and tho Beast roverted tho
prince, is full of charm. Tho court ia
drawn up in front of tho palaco. In tho
back ground nro statoly rows of trees
nnd behind them a rnngo of mountains-
