LAKu Ciry , April 22.-Probably
the most disastrous fire that aver
visited the state , swept through Lake
City , beginning in the frame building
on the Point Aided by a fierce gale
the flames destroyed five solid squares
of business buildings , leaving only
three rows of buildings standing in
the buiness portion of the tpwn.
The loss is roughly put at $400,000 ,
and the insurance at $100,000. The
lire started at a little before 2 o'c'ock- ' ,
and in loss than ono hour the worst
had bcii done. Tim flames leaped
from building to building , aoss
streets andovcr tops like the water
pours over Niagara. The fire department -
ment worked nobly , but no human
power could arrest the progress of the
fire. The Red Wing engine came
down on a special trainbutarrivod t. .
late to be of much practical bent.
The probability is that a large sum-
ber of the buildings will not bb ra-
placed , but those which are erected
will be of a more solid character. The
loss to this community cannot bo'over
estimated , and nothing but the most
combined efforts on the part of , citi-
zonp can overcome it and place us
whore we wore before. The greatest
mystery about the affair is that although -
though many of the burned buildings
were occupied by families , not a lila
was lost , and no cases of serious accidents -
dents hare boon reported.

"A QUANDAM cooiiiy. "

To the F..iiIor of The lice :
My attention ha , been called to a
conununloation In Sunday's Herald
headed "Those Subscriptions , " and
signed "Laboring Man. " From the
coarseness and vulgarity of tli epistho
I fool justified In asoribtug to this
denyor of tim novoui dials the full
cretlut of being the proizenitor of ( lie
transcendent fll whici appeared Under -
dor thio signature of ' 'Citizen" ' In the
columns ot the herald and the
Roimblien. I would say to
this "citizen" that when he
feia. to thinking ho is a factor
1r4 the government of Omaha , lie labors
t.mder a profound delusion. And he
is also Iii grave error when ho sup.
poses that the jargon of Vhito cliiqol
can be scattered broadcast through
the Omaha press without its odor being - .
ing manifest. I would therefore say
to this rospeclablo apostle of labor
viio drew his pay from the 0. L. P.
U. vithi ooinmondablo regularity , as
well as all other members of the executive -
ocutive committee , Knight included ,
that the "ilantain Rooster" neither
asked nor received aught , but
contributed his mite for the
support of "Laboring Mait" and his
frIends. "Laboring Maui" or "Citi.
zen" says that this "Bantam" wanted
Walsh shut off. ] 3nt the asthma of
the "Bantam" speaks louder than the
wind of this quondam Cockney.
I bavo heretofore supposed that the
vice prosklciit of the International
Bricklayers union , &e. , &e. , & . , had
more intelligence titan to disclose the
business of that body , and subject it
to the criticisms of the press. But it.
scents his desire for vengoanco'on the
heads of those whose ditty it was to
expel hint front the 0. L. P. 1.1. for
his baseness and treason to that or
ganivation is stronger than his honor
or his allogianco. Now , iii regard to
the cane , I will ay that I neitlur :

I rejoice to soefor once iii the tutnitla 01

his triumph and showed his racogili.
tion of the coolness and decision of
his gifted leader who , in the face of
calumny and falsehood , brought the
late conflict to a successful issue.
It is a source of regret on my part
to answer the effusion of "Laboring
Man" but I will say to him :
Be thou to others kind and true ;
As you'd have othops be to you ;
And neither de not'say to men
