RccclvcJ Hlsliett Awarilt Ktut Cut Bitk I hi Sii Sllf In riucj Can After forty-six years of servico tho building occupied by the Union Pacific as a combined hotel and depot burned to tho ground Wednesday evening. A dozen times during its life sparks from tho company's locomotives had started fires at different points on tho building but were quickly extlngushed nnd two or three times Interior fires woro quenched In their lnclpiency, but tho little live cinder that fell from the stack of a locomotive about 3: HO Wednesday afternoon resulted In tho biggest llro North Platte has had in twonty years and tho completo des truction of a prominent landmark. This llttlo live cinder lodged in a crevice between tho plntform nnd tho siding near tho center of tho north sido of tho west wing of tho building, and fanned by a strong gulo that was blowing ignited tho siding and boforo discovered by Manager McDon ald and others had burned a hole a foot square. This fire was, presum ably, extlngushed by water from tho comapny's hose, but the men who used tho hose woro not aware that tho llnmes had crept up the studding and found their way to the attic, and It was not until an hour later that smoko was seen Issuing from the eves of tho building which ncrcascd in density with wonderful rapidity. The flro department hurriedly responded lo tho call sent in, and reinforced by tho company's department six streams of water were soon playing on the building. Evidently during the hour Inter vening botweon tho tlmo tho llttlo ilro was extinguished and the discov ery of tho smoke Issuing from tho up per portion of the building, tho flro In tho attic had been burning flercoly, for In ten minutes after tho firemen began their work tho flames broko through tho roof with a fury and woro whpped to greater fury by tho strong wind. When this occured, twenty streams of water could not havo quen ched tho Arc, nnd In a few minutes more tho west wing from roof to ground floor wns a seething mass of flames. Tho wind was from tho north west, and this drove tho flames to ward tho wing running north and south. Efforts were mad,o to savo this part of tho building, but they woro futllo, and at eight o'clock In tho evening tho only part of tho building standing woro two cUlmneJa built from tho ground nnd a fow charred timbers. Even for a framo building tho destruction was most complete. When It was seen that tho building was doomed, all tho property In the ticket offlco and bnggngo room, oc cupying tho ground floor of tho enst wing was removed, as woro also tho moro valuable effects In the hotel office. Part of tho silverware, linen and furnishings of tho dining room wcro goton out, but on tho second floor llttlo nttompt was made to re movo anything, and practically all tho furnishings on that floor were burned. Sovoral railroad men woro nsloop In their rooms when tho flro started, but were awakened In time to escape with their effects. Guests at tho hotol managed to save their belongings. For a tlmo much apprehension was felt for tho safety of buildings across tho street, especially when tho enst wing began burning, but fortunately tho wind ' lulled. However, ns a pre cautionary measure, men were placed on tho roofs of tho buildings.

Tho burned building was completed in December, 18G9, nnd succeeded tho former depot, located in tho center of what is now Dewey street, which burned on tho night of July 4th, 18C9. Tho building wns In the form of a T, tho west wing being 40x100 foot, and tho oast wing, running north nnd south 3Gx80. As will bo seen It was a somewhat ponderous affair, and be ing entirely of wood, nnd seasoned bo many years, it burned with grent ra pidity. Tlio building ns It stands wns practically tho samo as when built. In 1907, there was re-arrangement of tho depot part, tho telegraph offlco be ing removed to tho general offlco building, nnd tho ticket offlco nnd bag gage room placed on tho ground Aoor. Tho hotol conducted by tho dininc car sorvlco of tho company, had been n losing financial proposition for a number of years past, and it was said that as soon as tho Hotol McCabo was ready for occupancy tho hotel would close Its doors. At nlno o'clock yostordav mornlnc several ears of lumber arrived from Omaha, fifty enrpentors nnd laborers woro nt onco nut to work, nnd hv six o'clcok Inst ovenlng a temporary building 21x f.O had boon erected which will ho used as n ticket olTIco, wnitlng nnd bnggngo room.

I've had that comfortable feeling ever since I first started wearing a PRINTZESS. I used to spend so much' time when I intended going any place where I wanted to be particularly sure of my appearance, looking over my wardrobe and trying to select a suit able costume. It just always seemed that I didn't have anything to wear. I fretted and I fussed and I' fumed, and when I finally did select something and go, half the pleasure of the occasion was marred by a feeling of insecurity about my dress. But now I, simply slip on my PRINTZESS and go smilingtand serene in the confidence that I am dressed beyond the criticism of even the most critical.

Thus In 1707 Carlisle wroto: "Lcnclose n package of letters, which, If thoy nro French, tho Lord dellvor you from the bore."
