At'J o'clock yesterday afternoon un nlnrm of llro was raised ut the low.i school for the leaf just KOlilhoast of the city. A telephone ! ncssnRU was sent In to the Couucll llluffs Ira department and the hose companies were soon on the scene. A flro had ctartcd in ono corner of tno dry- nfj room in llio laundry ut tnu south onU of the main building ; how , no ono so fur has been nblo to explain , Tuo dry woodwork of the laundry burned Ilko tinder and the lames could ho seen for miles around. When the IIrumen arrived they planted the uescuo steamer at n convenient distance from the JUlldlnR nnd began to get ready to light the flames with it. 13ut befo'ro It had potion UD steam ono of tlio coils suddenly collapsed and the online was poworlnss. An effort was maio ! to repair the mischief , jut It soon became evident that moro would bo lost than gained by spending tlmo In this way. To add to the confusion , the rosorvolr from which the Institution goU It water sup- lily Had bjon allowed to run low , iu It was Jio Intention of the managermont to clean It and roualr it in a. day or two , so as to bo ready for the opening of the now sohool voar. Meager I'aellltles for righting Tire. The facilities for fighting flrj at the school worn found to ba of the mougerest descrip tion , A few small hydr.mts BC.Utarod about the ground , with a few sections of small hose , moro suitable for watering i grass plat than for saving a burning bulldtn ? , were all tnat could bo found. Tlio water from the raaorvoir will Sooa oxhauilod , auu the llrjmon hid to fall back on a water supply from an artesian well. The most rigid economy had to bo used in the matter of wat-ir , nnd , although banal- capped in almost ovorv conceivable direc tion , the Council BUiff-i Flro department , under the direction of Chief Nicholson , did most heroic nnd efTootivo worlc. The flro in the laundrv was finally extin guished and then the most strenuous efforts were put forth to keep the flames from being communicated to the rest of the building. The Ice house , which was of wood and stood adjoining the laundry , soon caught tire and the cinders which lilted tbo nlr and alighted on the root of the surroundinu bulldtnes niiiuo It necessary that a force of men bo kept constantly nt worlc to prevent the demolition ol the whole struciurn. By this tlmo a largo number of people had conio out from the city and they were organized Into a tire-fightine force to assist the liromon and the employes of the Institu tion. A line of men with buckets was formed nnd water handed along from u neighboring well to the men en the roofs , who used it in extinguishing thu small patches of I lame that started hero and tbcro. Heroic Ultorts ot the rircmmi. It was not until nearly 5 o'clock that the two-storv frame. Icehouse that stood In angle form bv tlio south wintr of tbo main build ing nnd llio burned nnnrx fell to the ground nnd removed thoprobability of the destruc tion of the ontlro Institution. It was n tall buildinir with but llttlo ice In It nnd the timber of which it was composed was thoroughly scorched nnd dried out by the earlier stages of the llro in the annex. It burned with a , fierce boat , blistenntr nnd suorching the wooden corn Ice and window frames of the south wing and the main building. Only the heroic efforts of the members of the city fire dcnarttnunt and some of the om- ' ployes'of the Institution kept the llro from the main buHdmtr. The o.xposed winnows were covered with blankets and these were Kent drenched by the bucket brigade which passed water through the chapel to the men who ondurcu the intense heat In the building and threw the water from the Inside. Otnor nnd still nero : daring men stood on the roof of the south wing onvelofod In wet blankets and poured water on the cornice. They were In a heat so Intense that the woodwork at their feet would ignite and blaze , ana the water they would pour upon it would Hash UD Into steam. Ttioy would climb un tno sharp ridge of the slate roof , get a breath of cooler air and return with another ouckot , constantly In imminent danger of lining stricken down by the awful heat or making n mlsjtop and falling headlong to death on the pavemunt below. These nion were the real heroes of the day. nnd dcservn tno thanks of the people of Jowa moro than nil others that the magnlllccnt building Is not now a mass of blackened rulnw. All of their names could not bo ascertained , hut tbrco of them wcro members of the Council Bluffs lirodepartment Kobcrt Huntinntou , Charles \ \ alts and Charllo Conley. Ono of the others was R W. Balluf. tbo engineer at the Institution. They are the men who saved the building. But they did not oicaoO un- .scathed. Huttington is bajly burned about the head and face. Ills hair , eyebrows and mustache wcro burned and his neck and hands severely blistered. Mr. Watts suf fered tbo samb fale , but although ho re mained at the dangerous post longer than nnvbodv else ho was not qulto as badly burned as Huntingtcn. Of nil the mon he , perhaps , deserves the greatest praise for his coolness and bravery , although the other mon did not Ilinch even wtion the avalanoho of llamo swept down upon them. The .Sn'iTruiiio .Moment ol Danger. Near the icchouso stood a tall , partially completed derrick to bo used In tbo con struction of another artesian well. This was blazing from top to bottom and was sending showers of sparks ovur the build- in gf. When It fell It crushed down the ereater part of the icehouse , and then was the supreme moment of danger to tbo main bulldiug. Tbo llamos leaped up a hundred feet above the roof and were carried by the south wind 'over the south wlnirandtho main tulldlng. It drove the firemen and tbo mon at the south end of tbo roof temporarily from tbolr posts and when they returned covered with their wet blankets the window frames nnd cornices wcro ablaze , but they bravely fought out the lira as they bad been ilolng for nn hour. In n few mommits tbo bla/.o dlca down and the wind eou.a no longer carry the llamos to ward the buildings , nnd ! the exhtustcd hcrooH cumo down from their perilous station and bnthrd tholr blistered hands and faces. Tbo wnolon suits of every 0110 of them were scorched , nnd tholr biaokoiifd faces nnd crisped hair Indicated tbo condition of thn uwful furnace In which they had been stay ing. Moro Ilravo I'lro I'lgliti'r * . On tbo roof of tbo'main building was another party of equally bravo men headed bv J. A. Muruhy , John Cappln and A. B. Malr. They wcro not exposed to such a torrlllo heat but they were on n steeper and more dangerous ruof , live stories above tbo pavement. It was a tin roof , but it Imd been coated with Inllammabio tar , mid this was ablii/o In a dozen places at once. Murphy stood on the cornlco In the smoke ninety foot from the ground and pulled up pall after mill of water with a long rope , Tbo buckets would catch on those stone copings and window caps an ho drew them up , and no ono but u man with Iron nervot and a clear brain could have kept his balance n moment. Many times their clothes were on lire , nnd the little wutor they could gut up wont but llttlo way toward suppressing the blazing tar. Ttioy did the most execution by bontlug and stamping out the Illtlo patches p ; tire with their coats nnd feet The question of the adequacy of the flro protection fiirnlaho-J by the Institution Itself wan i-arofully Inquired "into by many of tbo people tboro , and the absurd Inadequacy , to apparent to all , caused the management to be severely criticUod. The worst rattled man on tbo grounds wits Superintendent Uoih'crt himself , nnd unless spmti one moro competent to manage- llro bad been present tbo entire structure would have hogii destroyed , no matter whltt meant the state huu provided to protect tho'building. Qnlv tht ) presenceand bettor judgment ot Chief Nicholson and tbo the members ot the Council Bluffs tire do pnrtmcnt prevented complete destruction as It was. ] > tiinntc of tlio I.om. It Is difficult to estimate the loss , as no ono could bo found who seemed competent to fix the value of the doUrovcd machinery. The annex , which was completely destroyed , con tained the laundry , the engine rooom , bailer rooms , coal homos and clnctrlo lighting plant. Only the ragged walls were left standing , and they will have to bo pulled down. The whole structure was filled with expensive machinery nnd not a thine was saved. The loss will probably roach S''O.ODO or25,000. Kothert could give no Informa tion nbout nnvthtng or bo Induced to answer clvlllv a single question. The fire letvcs the Institution in pretty bad shnpo , with the autumn term almost ready to commence and ihti whole working part'of tbo structure totally destroyed.

They Hold Tholr County Convention anil Scluct DcleirKti's. The Pottawnttamlo county democrats held tholr convention yesterday afternoon. Thcro were no candidates to put in nomination and only ono candidate ihot was thought enough of by the local democracy to glvo Instruc tions for , and no political qucstlous to cause resolutions. Almost the only thing before the convention was the election of delegates to attend the state , judicial nnd congres sional eonveatlons. Consequpiitly , tbo con vention was a quiet affair , barring a few timrs , when thu natural democratic tendency for all to talk at once and get as mixed up as posslolo on parliamentary usage insisted ou cropping out , 'loinpornry OHlrcrrt Selected. The convention was called to order by Chairman S. B. Wadsworth of the county central committee , nnd J. It. Dietrich was elected temporary chairman and O. II. Marsh of Oakland temporary secretary. The following committee on credentials was then appointed i Dr. Unrvoy ol Neom , ( ! . D. Walters , W. A. Oronerctr , O. Died- rlch of Avocu , J. B. Johanscn of Walnut. As soon as the committee httd retired from tbo room W. II. Ware moved that the chair man appoint a committee consisting of ono member from each voting precinct In tno county , whoso duty it should bo to select delegates to attend tbo state , congressional and judicial conventions. Some discussion was caused by this , and amendments to the amendment were made until the question before the house became a matter of sorcn uncertainty. The dlfticutty was finally overcome by Ware's motion to table all tho.amendmcnts , which was carried. Tbo committee was : O. H.

At noon a great debate toolc place as to whether the convention would adjourn 1'or dinner , or only take a recess , and on this great question amendments , substitutes , points of order , nnd other devices for killing time -.vero thrown in for about fifteen min utes. By the end of that tune the chairman and the members were In n baa confusion. Atlast some ono rcmoinoorcd that a motion to adjourn was always In order. The con vention seized the Idea eagerly and drifted out of tbo door : Selected.

The Board of Education , at thu Juno meeting , declared it ncc js-iry to have more buildings and roportcd to the county commissioners that n levy of I2 # mills would bo required to erect buildings and purchase sites. Upon nn opinion from Cotlnty Attorney Manotioy the cotmnlsMonoYs refuted to make the levy , holding that the city council of South Omaha Is the proper body to nmko the lovy. Attorney Farnsworth of the school board h < > ld n different view and began mandamus proceedings to compel tbo commissioners to make the lovy. Judgu Irvine heard the ar- Riltnonts In the case and has handed down his decision. The judge holds that the school board of South Omaha IP working under the charter of a city of the second-class and that the county commis sioners snail make the levy for school pur poses and not the city council. Ho refused the application for u mandamus to compel the commissioners to make the levy on the ground that the report of tbo Board of Edu cation to tbo commissioner. ) wns irregular. The report was faulty In that it did not state the amount In dollars and cents , and Instead named a 12'mllls ' levy ns the amount re quired. Thu judiro also held that the school board could llio an amended report with tho\ commissioners nnd they could make the levy yet-this ycu- . The amended report hts been Hold. I'rnporty Ownurx Ohjcct. At n recent mooting of the city council nn ordinance was Inlroducod granting to the Hock" Island the right of way over Orleans street in Jotter's addition , from Twenty- sixth to Twenty-eighth streets. The ordinance nance- was referred to the ordinance committee - mittoo and that committee bus boon looking' into the matter. The railroad company wants the use of that Rtrcat to put in a switch to Jettor's brewery , but has said nothing about paying anv damages to the property owners. The citizens who own property on that street are not anxious to have the right of way granted without receiving damages and claim that Instead of ono track being placed there , throe or four will bo put down and that the company's schcmo is to gain entrance to tbo Union stock yards. The ordinance will oo reported upon by the committee at1 Monday evening's ' session of the council hnd the report will probob'y ' noi bo favorable to thn ordinance. Arrest ol 11VIIn llcutcr.
