Preston was visited by a most disastrous. blaze on Wednesday night and the resulting damage amounted to about ten thousand dollars the loss being but half covered by insurance. The fire was discovered about ' in - in seven o'clock the eveningin Shraders harness shop. , The blaze had been caused by a defective - fective flue and when first discovered - covered the ceiling was ablaze. Practically the entire town turned out to fight the fire but efforts were useless owing to the lack of fire fighting facilities. Part of the stock in the harness shop was removed but a large part' was entirely consumed. The building was owned by Chris Shelly. Mr. Shelly's dwelling on the lots in the rear of thc harness - ness shop was the next to go. Most of the household effects were saved but the efforts of thc firefigh + ers did not avail to save this building or to prevent thc fire from spreading to the new hotel. Thc structure was one of the largest in the town and was owned by : Mrs. Belle Pyle and occupied - cupied by P. R. Ifunzeker. The guests had plenty of time to es- cape with their personal effects , and most of the furniture was taken out before the building was destroyed. Most heroic efforts were made to save the property but nothing much could be done until the fire reached the bank - - - - . . - - . - - - IariF. Dae.schncr Dead , Aged and Esteemed Resident ofPreston iJ' Summoned to His 'Reward. " , Death has again entered thc circle of Richardson county pio- necrs and another venerable citi- zen of this community has bccn called tu his reward. Karl Frederick Daeschner died at his home in Preston at three o'clock last Friday morning His death removes one who was in many ways a remarkable man. His was that rugged type of man- hood that stamps its impress upon environment and thc influence of which is always felt wherever thc individual RO possessed lives for a considerable number of years. DIr. Daeschner had made this county his home for so long , had been so vitally interested in its progress and so intimately acquainted - uainted with large cumbers of its people as to exert this influence - "f1uence to the fullest degrec. He lived to reach thc age of 83 years 11 1110nths ant 12 days and he had lived all these years in the truest sense of the word. 'J"hc years had been years of industry , of unceasing activity , of exercise of bodily and mental vigor and the encl came as to one who has laid aside the task only when it was completed and who could face the sunset with -thc consci- ousness that hc had wrought well and in sublime faith of a day- break and a new life where the slopes of eternity arc never dark- ened by the shadows of a setting sun. Mr. Daeschnerwas a Chris- tian man and his was the faith that inspires faith in others. It was the basis of his manhood ; it made him the good citizen that he was , and the man among men. lie was burn in Baden , Ger- many and there grew to young manhood. In 1845 , in his native country , he was married to lvIiss Susana Deuchlcr and a short time later they came to this country. To . . them eighteen children , six daughters and twelve sons were born and of these children four- teen arc yet livin'g. IIis life and an the varied events thereof arc known to many of our people and it is with heartfelt sincerity that building' , which is brick and which served to stay the progress of the flames. The blow will be a hard one for the town although there is little doubt but that the burned structures will be rebuilt. - - . . . . . . . . . J : _ _ _ _ _ they come to his aged wife and I sorrowing and daughters I : sons 011 this sad occasion with their trib- / utes of sympathy. The husband I and father who has been taken from them was a good man and his memory must be unto them as ' a blessed hcritage. Eight years ago the living descendents - ccndents of 1\11' and Mrs. Karl Frederick Dacschncr met and organized - g'anizcd what is known as the Dacschncr Ancestral league. The 1 object was to hold annual family reunions , and this plan was car- ried out.tl hc last meeting was held in the summcrof 1903 at the Zoeller home near Preston and was a most enjoyable ] mceting. The death of 1\'lr. Daeschncr removes - moves the head of the organiza- tion. There is a break in the circle that can never be filled , but although the vacant .dlair may be draped in mourning , around the hearts of those who place the solemn emblem there shall be twined the ever green vines of thc memory of the de- partcd. At the funeral services 'which were held at the Evangelical church in Preston , a vast con- course of friends asscmbled. The services were conducted by the pastor , Rev. C. Linge , assisted by Elder C. F. Erffmeyer of Hol- ton , Kas. , and Hev. J. Schmid1i of this city.fJ. . hose of thc children - ren who wercprcsent at the funeral - ral were Jacob and Edward of Falls City , William , a minister of Halstead , Kansas , Frank of Hiawatha , Kan. , Charles F. and Henry of Preston , Gideon of Gower - er , lvIo. , Miss FrcdrikalYIrs. Wm. Zoeller and rrs. Richard Kaiser of Prcston. At the conclusion of the services the remains were hdd to rest in Zion ccmetery.

Apul , old friends and neighbors of the deceased - - ceased were honorary pallbearers.
