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. Good
Bizou burning clnuors were carried

here, too, mon wcro on guard, and no
damago occurred to any buildings nd-
acont to tho Are.
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. This has
been erected just east of tho former
building. It will sorvo for tho nbovo
purpose until n now dopot buildlnc

WllEIllrEIt I go, whntever tho occasion, I am
alAvajs perfectly secure in the knowledge that
the coat or suit I happen to he wearing is, in
elegance of appearance and in perfection of taste,
entirely in harmony with the environment.
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. And
with less worry and less preparation I enjoy myself
all the morei

kind of seaweed for shampooing the
hntr. They gnthered it from tho roclif
nnd dissolved it In warm water.

The Bore.
Somo student of tho relatively unlm.
portunt but nevertheless entertaining
sldo lines of literary history has been
lnvestlgntlng tho origin of tho term by
which wo characterize tho man who
habitually blockades tho channels of
ngreeablo human Intercourse, llo has
decided that tho word "boro" mado
Its first appearance In tho lottcrs of
Lord Carlisle and of Selwyn, but that
they used It with reforenco not to a
creature, but to a stato or condition.
Thus In 1707 Carlisle wroto: "Lcnclose
n package of letters, which, If thoy nro
French, tho Lord dellvor you from the
bore." It was not until tho beginning
of tho Inst century that tho word was
applied to tho person who wearies and
