capacity of about 500 tons. Two of the ]

empty. All three of the buildings wei
consumed , but more than fifty per cer
of the ice was saved. The departmet
was embarrassed at the outstart by lo
water pressure , and after the pressui
was sufficient by the bursting of tw
lengths of hose , one in each of the lim
that were laid to the fire by the depar
tuent. The loss to the company on tli
buildings was about $1,000 , wnich
fully covered by a "blanket" polic

Better Than a Job-Lot.
Colonel Comfort takes occasion to r

cently bought b } ' the county commi
sioners in Beaver City for use in the ne
court house , as "second-hand goods.
True , but very substantial and ham
some goods at that and bought at
bargain , too. However , when we coi
stder the job-lot that the colonel is , v
wonder that he has nerve enough to r
fer to anything as second-hand. But a
the people have long since declined
