Marked taste , ingenuity and enterprise were exhibited by the ladies in the preparation of the various booths and painstaking skill exercised in the making of the many articles on ex hibition and sold. The burlesque on Maud Muller giveu on Friday evening packed the house and made quite a hit , with its catchy , familiar music and quaint humor. The fan drill and burlesque by the young ladies and young gentlemen on the following evening also drew a crowd ed house and fairly divided the honors with the play.

Left Over from Election. William Porter and Julius Kunert had a little controversy over the question of best citizenship , last Friday , which led to blows. Julius had William tell County Judge Smith about it , and the Judge thought that William had frac tured the law and Julius' ear enough to warrant the payment of a fine of $2 and trimmings. Porter appealed the case to the district court. Increasing Membership. Tae meeting of the Star of Jupiter , Monday night , was well attended. Sev eral new applications were received. This popular order is increasing steadily in membership. The social programme after the regular session is quite a feature in this organi zation and adds greatly to the interest.

A VERY CLOSE CALL x The Boston Shoe Store Is Badly Damaged by a Fire at AN EARLY HOUR , MONDAY MORNING When Discovered the Fire Was Well Under Headway , and Was On ly Subdued After a Very Stubborn Fight. At about four o'clock , Monday morn ing , a fire was discovered in the Boston shoe store and the fire department was hastily summoned to the scene. The firemen responded quickly and in a few minutes had two streams of water play ing upon the interior of the store , from front door and rear window , aud after a half hour's hard work in a stifling smoke succeeded iu subduing the fire ; not , how ever , until the entire stock and fixtures had been badly damaged aud destrajed by fire , smoke and water. It is thought that the loss on the stock will be at least two-thirds , which is cov ered by an insurance of $5,000. The loss to fixtures will reach perhaps$500 , which is covered by $ rooo insurance. The damage to the building is small and is provided for by insurance. The fire is thought to have been of in cendiary origin , as the building is heat ed by steam and lighted by electricity. The rear door had been forced and some articles of apparel were found in the alley in the rear of the store , indicating pos sible previous burglary. The proprietor , E L. Laycock , is to be commiserated upon his misfortune ; and the firemen are proper subjects for commendation for their plucky , success ful work RAILROAD NEWS ITEMS.
