The loss Is about | 3,000 ; Insurance , $1,500. The flro started at about 10 o'clock In the blR livery on Pearl street and for a tlino It looked as though It might not bo confined to that building. Fanned by a high southeast wind , the Unmet ! raged furiously and sparks were carried half way across the town. Owing to the Inflammable nature of the building and Its contents , It was soon plain that the stable was doomed , although the volunteer llromen worked heroically to save It. All the horses and buggies In the building were taken out In llmo to save thorn , but the harness of the es tablishment wcro all consumed.

Madison Votes to Erect a $10,000 City Hall. Madison , Neb. , June C. Special to The News : At the Special election held In Madison yesterday the city voted bonds In the amount of $10,000 for the purpose of erecting a city hall , and there Is great rejoicing over the result. The vote stood 253 votes for and 59 against the proposition. At the previous election , the bonds failed to carry by a single vote , but public opinion rapidly changed there after with the above result. The site has not yet been definitely selected but In all probability the structure will be erected on the north west corner of Third street and Lin coln avenue , on a lot now owned by Thomas O'Shea. The elty also has an option on what Is known as the Hutchison property on Third street , which Is half a block nearer the heart of the city. The flro department were especially pleased over the result , so much so that about dusk last evening they rang the flro bell and made a demonstra tion on the streets. The fact Is that the old quarters have long been In a dilapidated condition nnd an unfit place In which to properly store and take care of the apparatus. Plans and specifications for the new building are drawn and operations will commence as soon as the site is purchased. MANY HOMESEEKERS ENROUTE.

The building of cement walks Is nicely started again and If Slieol Com missioner Hlchoy's estimates are anywhere - where near correct there will ho twlco IIH many feet of this class of walk laid this year as there were last , and that was the most extensive season for ce ment walk construction that Norfolk has over fcon. "Hy the llmo cold weather comes , " said the commission er , "tho only board walks left In town will bo IhoRo In extra good condition and they will not be numerous. " The city administration has been patrlcu- larly lonlenl. In the matter of ordering permanent walks built , allowing hoard walks to remain In service as long aa they did not become absolutely dan gerous , but the tlino has como when practically all these old hoard affairs have become worn out and will hnvo to bo replaced with cither brick or co- ment. The ordinance provides that walks may ho constructed of either brick or cement , but experience has proven that cement Is ( bo only practical ma terial to use. When correctly con structed cement walks will last a Hfo time , while walks made of brick soon begin to settle unevenly and get out of shape. A number of the brick walks that were laid no longer ago than three or four years are now In such bad condition that they must bo re built. Many owners are voluntarily doing this but In a number of cases It will ho necessary for the council to condemn the brick walks and order them replaced with now ones. CHILDREN'S RECITAL.
