I. .Smith A Co. are dressing up the inside of their drug store wMi a handsome cout of paint. M. Dot It well, secretary of the Y 31. C A., is confined to his room with an attack of intennittant fever. Mrs. Wood, living west of the city at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Situ Barker, is ouite ill. She is 84 years of age. The city building project is favored on all sides. With a full valuation of 13,000,000 a neat one could be easily . built The number of people on the streets nt'night has been p rceptablv letsend dur ing this week on account of their attend ance at the revival meetings. All young men will be welcome at the Y. M. C. A. gospel meeting tommor row at 4 i. m. Rev. Burgess will make n short talk on "Keeping the Sabbath."

Evange list Miller will have the singing in his c harge. Tomorrow at 4 o'clock. A cur dog belonging to Edgar Moore, a boy who lives at the corner of Eighth and Granite streets, became vio lently afflicted with rabies yesterday and Marshal Dunn shot it, but not nntil sev eral otherdogs had been bitten. Beginning tomorrow evening Itey. II. D. Burgess will open a series of lectures to young men. to be continued Sunday evenings. All are cordia'lv in vited to attend these meetings. It will cost nothing and they will doubtless be a source of valuable instruction. The proposed fox and rabbit races at the colliaeum in Omaha are exciting considerable unfavorable comment and it is hoped that the mayor will forbid anything of such a cruel nature to dumb animals taking place. People certainly ought to find amusement without it being at the cost of dumb animals. Ed Tbrelkeld, who has been severe ly afflicted with rheumatism iu his foot " for some time has wonderfully been re licved in the last two days; so much so that he threw his crutches awny yesterday and seemed very cheerful. A friend asked what brought him out so quickly and received the reply, "It's n girl, came lait night to stay." A man somewhat severely afflicted with rheumatism was seen on Main street this morning. His name is D. II Pratt and has been in the city some time as general agent for the Home Life insur- anee comoany. Mr. Pratt started to cross - the" street" to O. P. Smith & Co's drug store, but he halted at the curbstone in . front, being unable to lift his feet over it, assistance was necessary to get him jnto the store.

DISASTER AT WAOAkH A Cass County -Town Experiences A conflagration of the First Magnitude. Supposed to be Incendiary Work A most unfortunate circumstance be fell the little town of Wabash, this county, Thursday night. The tewn is a small place six miles west of Weeping Water, on the Lincoln branch of the 31. P.; is located on the corner of sections 2 , 20, 33 and 30, with one section line on 3Iain street, which runs east and west; Depot street runs north and south, and crosses Main 6treet. At the southwest corner of these streets was located a two Btory frame building the first building reeled there and was put up with the first lumber sold by Recorder W. II. Pool after opening a lumber yard there severnl years ago the property of Jacob fc Horton, who occupied the first floor with a general merchandise store. The fire originated in or near the oil room of Jacobs Sc Co.'s store, and when discovered was bursting through the roof. This was about 1 o'clock Friday morning. The whole town turned out with buckets and tubs, but efforts to control the flames were vain. The ice house in the rear of the store caught and there the flames leaped eagerly to Scot Ham s residence and billiard hall which were quickly devoured. The Ham fam ily were rescued in their night clothes and most of the household goods saved. Thca occurred a hard fight for the luni bsr yard, eevator und depot. It seemed at tunes as though they could not be saved, for the wind blew great brands of lire am ng the lumber, but careful watchiug, wet blankets and willing workers triumphed. No estimate of the value of the mer chandise and buildings destroyed can be itiaae. Located up stairs in the Jacobs building were the News printing office, Modern Woodman and Farmer's Alliance, all of which were consumed with all books and records. Emil Holke had just recently opened a jewelry shop in the Jacobs store and lost all. Dr. Dear ing had an otiicc up staiis ted Jost his accounts. Scot llarn forfeited his home without insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is thought the safe in Jacobs' store was attempted to be blown, as large suins of money wtre at times kept there for the purpose of paying the grain checks of Towle & Shank. Thursday afternoon the firm placed about $200 in the safe, and there was probably $400 in the safe altogether. 3Ir. Jacobs slept at the store during the winter, but about a week ago moved to the hotel. Geo Smith, the clerk, who closed the store at 10 o'clock, says the fir waj ail out a that time. The conviction is strong that the burglar theory is correct, and that the store was iired to hide the robbery. S.I& C, Mayer have just received the finest lino of neckwear' ever brought to the city call and see them. City Council Meeting. A special cession of the city council was held in the council chamber last night The mayor, .clerk, marshal and all coun cilmen but Wcckbach xjjp present. The first matter to come up was ft coni; munication from the city treasurer, re questing that the city marshal be ap pointed deputy treasurer to collect all occupation tax. The c?atter was dis cussed for a long time by the council and voted on several times and finally was voted dowa, the impression seeming to be that the mar&hal had all authority neccfc.sary in the matter of compiling all parti; s doing business to have a license. A resolution wis introduced and adopted, authorizing the mayor and clerk to make notice of the election April 2, ISSV, for the purpose of electing in- each of the old wards, one councilman, and tft'0 in the Fifth ward, one for one, tt- other fot two years; and for two members of the school board for three years each. The following claiuis against the city were allowed on the various funds: Citizens b&Oft', rpom rent for board of public works.,,,,. ....... $00 00 31.

Green, hauling 7 dog. . , , , 3 50 A communication from the oyvpers &f the water works in Boston was read. It related to the order to lay 3.400 feet more of water main made last July and August, The company said it would take ten hydrents under the circumstan ces, at 400 distance, and they would charge $50 per year rental, each. The matter was, tfpej some discussion, refer red to the committee ,oa fiie tnd water. The oSicial bond of the city surveyor, II. C Schmidt, waa read and approved. 3Ir. 3IcCallcn moved an ordinance be drafted ordering the property owners to clean and keep clean the pavement on 3iatu street as there was considerable complaint. 3Ir. 3Iurphy replied that the pitfpmfnt had not yet been accepted by the city and it therefore had no right to remove the sand, but Riley woujd remove it and and replace it with the proper material, and beside?, the city could not compel an owner to clean the street, it only could forbid him sweeping rubbish into it. Council adjourned. Those four-in-hands of S & C. Mayer's take the cake.

HERRMWS. THE JOKER. That is what they call him. He is i peculiar specimen of humanity, a sort o Yankee journalist; he likes to sing "Swe Home," but is a hard fellow to get anj fun out of; wears a long face and a grit like a fill) WPQU: When there is any f u going on, however, be is always there, generally stands around and looks on but wuen he gets warmed up ne is as lively as any. He never learned any tt&CSt Vut oinehow he always gets enough to eat; for aa odd name he has been termed The Joker of the family, and through the advice of his friends is going po suit his fancy with an occassional ar ticle 'in print." He rnay write in the singular or plural of the rst person, or the singular third- Among the many things that may be termed disgusting and unwelcome to the vision, is a slouchy man with long bushy hair and beard, which only enjoys the carressings of a comb once a month. But last night at the church The Joker was crowded into the gallery, and a most perfect refuge from the gfare of the chan delier was obtained trom behind a man with such a head-dress. Everything is of some use in its place. There is some talk in Lincoln of chang ing the &&me of some of the streets, to avoid Confusion no easing. Lincoln has tried hard to establish some great resort or school there, and if she will iust bane on to the names she now has iipGjod upon her streets, and add a few more, The JojiEe believes it possible for her to become a resort lor tie nomencla ture of streets. It is a deplorable fact that some people are green, and that it takes a long while for some from the country to set the green rubbed off of them. A man very green, lor so early in the season, fresh from the east, was met at the depot the ollf or evening; he wore a rubber coat and canw?4' a rubber grip, and enquired "where is tie' .fjejiet ojfjuce He waj so green that even The Joker was' touched with iympaJjy. J nstructions were given him from the agent, and after asking every other man around the depot and finally returning to the agent, he found the train for Ashland. Yesterday ,ve if ere hailed at the opera house corner by a tr'ayeing 9 who said : ' 'I say, you have a mighty neat lit tle city here, not beautiful, but one that U well located for the future, and I un derstand a great building boom is just about to break out; I woud6f if several corner lots and '' just then a Nebraska March breeze came sweeping down the street ad wedged four - corner lots and eight wagon loads of pavjng sands into his mouth.

Paul is evidently some unfortunate lad hat the boys are evidently down on. I us Joker took a strole out in the Sec ond ward the other evening and stopped to watch some bovs at marbles. Another boy came up and gtarted this conversa tion: "Paul got a whippm' 'while ago 1" "Who ?" "Paul Puddin'. " "Did he ?" "Yes. he was callin' me 'crazy' and his mother come out and erive him a jrocd licken'." "That's eood, he ought to git a agin. And the boys all seemed to join in the common consent that Paul could n t get more "lickens" than were good fpr him. STILL THEY CQME- The Largest Attsndanc Yt at the Revival Meetings Last Night. Miller for Another Week- To attempt to get a larger congregation out to hear the evangelist in the Metno dist church, than there was last evening, would hardly succeed. Before Mr. Mil ler bVgapV talking the church was full and every inch of standing pooij Qcpqped, j while many were turned away at the door. Tho lesson for the meeting was the para ble of the King's son Matt. 22: 1 12. A talk of about twenty five minutes were made by the evangelist, and two solos were beautifully sang, and with much emression. At the cio&e cf the meeting the altar was crowded witv those seeking salvation, and a number expressed their belief in their Savior with a word of praise. The afternoon meeting yesterday was wen attenaea aiso. l ousy mere was no afternoon meeting held, and tonight the service W'll be for the special benefit of 'the recent converts, of whom there is a large number, probably a hundred. Evangelist Miller has had very success ful meetings during the past week, and last night by a unanimous vote of the congregation it was decided to invite him to remain another week, and Mr. Miller will ccntinaa the meetings during that time.' 'Tomorrow he will conduct the meetings at the usual hour," and' fn (lie1 afternoon will lead the singing at fcfie gospel service tor men. in the rqoms of the Young Men s Christian Association.
