THREE TIMES ALL IN I DAY RETURN TO THEIR HOME Col. Dave Wallengren and "Din key" Came Quickly to Rescue There was a series of sensations at the depot yesterday afternoon when three separate and distinct fires took place. The entire depot force and the yardmen were kept busy for a few minutes, in subduing the flames which threatened to sweep away all that section of the city. The first fire started in the board fence north of the station. Some brush and dead grass was being burned by part ies living on the hill north of the depot and the fire got away and caught the high board fence an din a few minutes that structure was In the grasp of the flames. An alarm was Immediately given and Agent Pickett, Telegrapher Clement and the entire office and yard force rushed out and subdued the raging flames without any material loss. The second fire took place when a car of cinders standing In the yards was found to be on fire. The flames had spread to the frame work of the car and H was burning fiercely when noticed. An alarm was Immediately telephoned to the shops and Col. Dave Wallengren with the "dinky ' was hurried down to the yards and the tar was started for the Bhops where the fire was extinguished. The third car was caused by the frantic efforts to save the cinder car. The "dinky" In hauling the car to the shops went tearing down the track scattering cinders In Its wake and some of them Ignited the switch shanty, north of the station. George Dwyer, employed In the Burlington office, discovered the raging flames and turned In another alarm to the office. Again Agent I'lckett, , Tele grapher Clement and the office and yard force dashed out and with the aid of a few buckets of water put out the devouring element. In this case also there was no loss to anything save the nervs of Messrs. Pickett and Clement, both of whom vow that Col Wallengren Is altogether too ambir tlous when it comes to putting out fires. They claim he worked the "dinky" overtime in an effort to save company property and In the future they would prefer to see the fire rage rather than destroy their nerves Col. Dave says he hasn't time to look around when he Is sent on a fire mis sion. The whole affair was a very funny one. VERY FINE ADDRESS Fithcf M. Shine Talks to the Younj Men's Bible Class. i The members of the Young Men's Bible Class of the Methodist church last evening were entertained by Rev. Father Shine with a discourse upon "Man and Ills Education." Rev. Shine was at his best and delivered a brilliant and eloquent address upon what constitutes a man and also what are the component parts of his education. Those who were fortu nate enough to attend the lecturo wore moro than well pleased and It was considered one of the finest ad dresses ever delivered in the city. Taking up first the topic of what constitutes a man, Father Shine pro ceeded to dwell upon the three ele ments which enter Into the human. First, ho spoke of the physical make up of the innn. Following this he touched upon the Intellectual devel opment and then the sprltual. In each of these three grand divisions of man he found much which was worth speaking of. He gloried In the magnificent development of man along physical lines. Ills splendid animal characteristics were especially subject of comment by Father Shine. Taking up the development of Man's Intellectuality, Father Shine spoke of the highly Important essentials of a good education and dwelt quite ex tensively on the absolute necessity for man attaining a good education In every line. In this particular he spoke of the small benefit a man derived from mere book lenrnlng and cited the fact that a man must have a general knowledge of things outside of the books. Touching up on the splrltunl education of the true man, he declared that a man was wholly a man who had the animal characteristics and the education If he lacked the spiritual development. Speaking of the soul. Father Shine was particularly effective and his description of what the soul was Is considered by all who heard it as a masterly analysis. The whole speech was, In fact, a splendidand brilliant one and It is to be regretted that the attendance was not far larger than It was. One of the things that Impressed his hearers particularly , was Father Shine's defense of the Roman Cath ollc church on the question of the public schools. He advanced the Idea that the church did not oppose the public schools as many generally sup posed but It did advocate the preach Ing of religion and the bible In the schools. This was a diversion from the general text of his address and it was a significant one. Considering that he was addressing the members of a church opposed to his In many beliefs, and it was especially startling but it certainly Impressed his many hearers. Tnken nroifcho it the ad dress was one well wor'hy of atten Hon and the members of the class are Justly pleased that so able and bril llnnt a speaker Is at hand to dls course for their benefit. The several numbers the class has had have been such that they are quite enthusiastic over them and those which will be secured In the future can be relied upon to be up to the high stand ard set by the past.

LaUr in the evening Senator Thomas,. and party returned, making the trip home through one of the worst wind and dust storms which has prevaded this section In many years.

Puis, sr., the vctran farmer from Maple Grove was In the city to- nnt day attending to business and In- cldentaliy visiting wnn menus. .u. puis Is getting well along In years but he does not show any symptoms of It. Apparently ho will be Just as young a long time since as he I" now. Sound Talk. In a late Issue of th Farm Journal appears the paragraph below quoted: "It seems lncreditable that. there are millions of sane men and women who had rather live a cramped and often squalid and half-starved life than to live a wholesome and, ample existence on a few acres of their own in the country." , "Massachusetts figures thatjBtone roads ran be kept in good repair for $60 per mile per year. These Yan kees always seem to have more horse sense than most other folks." The number of people who would not endorse the statement In the first paragraph Is so small as to be negli gible and the natural Impulse of the man who reacts it Is to look around for an opportunity to acquire the necessary land. There are few who cannot do this. If you doubt this, see J. E. narwlck In the Dovey block and he can convince you. The second paragraph fits a lo cal condition to a nicety. There Is a stretch of country on the Missouri river bank between the C. I). & Q bridge and Rock Bluffs that Is admir ably adapted to raising all kind of fruit trees and garden truck. The chief object In the way of the devel opment of this tract Is Its Inaccessi bility. For the people of Platsmouth to derive the benefits of this most natural tributary territory they must aid In procuring the read to tan It and It seems to be calling upon them to do so for there Is most excellent road material underlying It In the shore of a llr-'e Hencslt ""ally worked. If t''j money spent In ferules and pon- trcn brllgfs to attract to the city Jrvn trade hud been ex pended In good roads around and adjacent to the city we should by this time have been reaping some of the benefits. ..... - WEI PAPERS H All that's new and Up-to-dato n alio your selections while the line is complete ro seeing Druggists I now ft I 8 CO-1 Mlsn Minnie fititliinmi 1iitertln.
