The hottest flre Omaha has seen since
the burning of the Iloston store building
on the 3d of February last occurred yester
day afternoon at about 4:30 : o'clock. The
flro started In what Is known as the Lxpos -
tlon annex at the corner of tourteenth
before the firemen -
nnd Davenport streets , and
men quit work the annex was a mass of
of Inflammable
amount
ruins. There wan a large
flammable material In the building , princi
pally on the Bccond floor , which wan occu
pied by IHIlow&Doup an a mattress factory.
Jjown stairs was Louis Outting's carriage
repair and trimming shops.
The lire Is supposed to have started In
the mattress factory from a defective elec
tric light wire. It spread rapidly to UIP
Krent quantities of excelsior stored there ,
nnd the employes had a hard time to get
out before being overtaken by the flames.
On account of the confusion there was con
siderable delay In sending In nn alarm.
. When the department arrived the Ilamcs hud
Kalncil such headway that great sheets of
Jlro poured from all of tlio windows In both
the llrst and pccotid stories of the building
The heat was Intense and the crowd was
driven back without orders from the police
As soon as Chief Gallium got a glimpse of
the blare ho ordered a general alarm sent In
nnd every piece of fire apparatus In the city
came Lines of hose werr laid as fast as the
companies came up. and the three steamers
liltched their suction pipes to hydrants In
order to bo ready for an emergency. I-oi-
tunately these machines were not needed , cs
the water pressure was BUllli-lPiit for a tvvo-
efoT-y building. For at least a half hour the
Jlamcs. fanned by a light nor h wind ,
teat against the walls of the IA-
t.osltlon . building , but the generalship
V Oalllgan and the energy of
Ms niemen prevented the llames from dam-
nglng this building. It was a hard light
"Jiom the start Some of the hosemcn werp
ilrlvcn back llmo and again by the Intcnsi
Iieat but they held to their nobles ami
von the fight In n shoit time. It was just.
UIP tlmi- the
nn hour and five minutes from
first alarm was sounded until Chief Oalllgan
ordered some of his hose uimpanles home
nnd declared the fire under perfect control
Flro and 1'ollce Commissioners Hartman ,
Smith and Strltkler watched the work of the
department from Inside the lire lines , and
complimented the chief on his woik when
the lire was under control.
wno TIII : LOSHIIS Aim.
The carriage shop In the basement , owned
py Louis Gutting , suffered almost a total
loss , only a few buggies being pulled out be
tore the fire became too hot for any one to
get near. Mr. Gutting plates his loss nt
about $2,000 , with no insurance. Most of
the buggies In the place were sent there to
JMJ repaired , and he did not carry any in-
mirance on his stock of haul wood * stored
In the west end of the building.
nillow & Doup , mattress makers , occupy
ing the second story , are the heaviest losers ,
as they had n large stock on hand nnd only
ypHtorday brought In n fresh car load of
excelsior. Mr. Doup had Just started for
Chicago and had reached Council Dluff.s
, vhen he saw the blank smoke anil tele
phoned to ask wheie the fire was , as it
appeared to be near his place. lie was
iold the location and returned. He said
that the flrm employed four girls and fifteen
juen and boys , all of whom he understood
escaped unhurt , except Mr Illllow , who
'Stopped to gather up some books and was
compelled to Jump from the window to the
pround , only a short , distance , and was
ellghtly scorched about the face and hands.
When the lire wns hottest the middle of
the cast wall fell In and caused the pipe-
jiicn and crowd to fall back. The roof and
the floor fell at about the same time and
for a moment or two the smoke was so
dense on the streets that n man could not
ECO the person standing next to him.
WAS ONLY A SHELL.
The building was a frame shell , with n
trick veneer , nnd as the fhln brick wall be
came heated from the flames behind the
\enecr gave way and the firemen had to
fceop an eye out for falling bricks. It was
during the time of the falling walls that
Hack Simpson , driver of hosu company No
0 , was hit with n brick and stunned He fell
and sprained his ankle and was taken home
Insurance men say that the building was
jiot worth more than $5,000 , If that , nillow
d Doup's loss will fall under this amount ,
nnd Guttlng's less. The total loss will
linnlly reach $12,000 , all fully Insured except
Outting's stock. The propeity belongs to
Jho Folsom estate.
Notwithstanding the flip the Sousa concert
Vlll tuko place In Exposition hall tonight
{ There was no damage done to the Exposi
tion hall or the Fifteenth Street theater.
( During the lire , sparks from the burning
cxcolsior set fire to L. W. Denton's house ,
directly west and adjoining the annex on
Uaveilport street. The cntlro rear part of
this house was burned , and the loss on
building and contents will nmount to $500.
{ Tlio rcHldenco of William Jaukson , colored ,
1415 Davenport street , also caught lire and
yns damaged to the extent of $100.
Fire Hcpoiter Heard did good service In
bringing persons who owned property or did
ifif business In the vicinity.
Mr , Billow savs that his flrm will resume
business as soon as now quarters can be se-
curpd.
For several years prior to the fall of 1S90
the annex was used ns a city hall , the basc-
inont being ysed for the city Jail , police
barn and police court room , and the second
floor for a number of city olllcej and council
chamber.

City.Aftor
After 10 o'clock clinical work was taken
up. J. A Dleffenbacher of York gave prac-
t'cal Illustrations In the use of the Hayes
apparatus for generating and applying an
aesthetics In dental work. Ie [ Is an en
thusiast oil this subject and placed several
of the dentists under the influence of the
hypnotic , but some of them arc Inclined to
rldlpulo the claims made for the effectiveness
of the apparatus. There Is one thing , how
ever , the nnicolics arc combined with air
and the patient Is not smothered
Into unconsciousness , as Is done some
times by the old methods. Dr. Dleffpn-
bacher extracted several teeth In an ap
parently painless manner and the patients
soon rccoveicd from the effects of the
anaesthesia. This apparatus reglsteis the
volume of narcotic taken Into the lungs
and as soon as the patient Is under Its Influence -
fluenco the use of the narcotic Is stopped ,
which in a measure lessens the danger
attendant upon such operations. Hut thorp
Is a steadily growing feeling of aversion
among dentists against the use of gas or
narcotics In any shape or form and It seems
to be only a question of time until their
use will be dropped altogether.
D. P. Slmms of Lincoln gave an exhibi
tion of Ills manner of making the Richmond
mend crown and bridge work.
S. R. Patten of Omaha made a fine con
tour gold filling , using hand pressure , and
I > \ D. Sherwln of Edgar , Neb. , filled a lower
molar for a patient in order to fully demon
strate the efficiency of his new saliva ejec
tor or syphon , which seems to be attract
ing considerable favorable attention fiom
the tooth fillers and pullers.
At noon the members of the Iowa society
came over from Council HIufTs , and In com
pany with the Nebraska members went to
the central fire station In answer to on in
vitation from Chief Oalllgan , to witness
the w01 king of a metiopolltan lire depart
ment.
The chief ordered the men to make a
hitch , and the chemical company hitched
and ran a block Inside of twenty-two sec
onds. The hitch was made In ten seconds ,
and the four horses on the big aerial truck
were hitched nearly as quick. Chief Gal-
llgan escorted the crowd through the house ,
after which the visitors gave three cheers
for the department and its chief. One man
wanted to know "what's the matter \\Ith \
Galllgan ? "
"lie's all right , " shouted the entire crowd ,
and then they went back to close up the
work of the convention ,
PAPERS OF T1IL2 AFTERNOON.
Discussion of the clinic work and Its
demonstrations by practical use took place
when the societies were called to order In
the afternoon. Dr. Sherwln of Edgar was
the first speaker , and he explained the workIngs -
Ings of his saliva ejector , which has before
been described. Dr. DlefTenbacher dilated
on his favorite method for using an an-
aesthetii" , and gave a further description
of tlio Hayes process. The feeling against
the use of gas or narcotics In any fonn , ex
cept In the most painful cases , wan plainly
shown In the' discussion of the subject by
other members. Dr. Johnson of Chicago
condemned the dentists who advertised the
painless extraction of teeth In unsparing
terms. He said that tlip so-called nostrums
for enabling dentists to pull teetn without
pain were frauds , and find caused the
reputable dentists moro trouble than any
other one thing In their profession. He
was greatly In favor of discarding the use
of anaesthetics , and thus avoiding their
evil after effects on the patient. Dr. Miller
of Grand Island spoke about his stvle of
bridge and open-faced crown work. .
J. J. Grout of Rock Rapids , la. , lead a
paper on "The Caie , Attention and Extraction
of Deciduous Teeth. " He was of the opin
ion that too lltllo care was given to children's
teeth , nnd said that If moro attention was
paid to the months and teeth by parents
when the chlldien were able to walk thcio
would be less trouble for the little ones as
they got oldei. Ho believed that the rules
of health and a good health diet would make
the teeth grow strong as well as other p-r-
tlons ot the anatomy. Ho said that If
mothers exeiclsed more caie In raising their
Infants the teeth would not prove very
troublesome In after years. Ho made his
icmarks very effective by the use of some
largo charts.
James E Flcener of Oskaloosa , la. , read an
essay on : "Why Don't We Tiy ? " He was
followed by William H. Stcele of Fotest City ,
la. , with a papei on "Useful Hints.11
The meeting adjourned until ! > o'clock this
morning , and today will bs taken up In readIng -
Ing minutes , hearing icport.s from various
committees nnd the Installation of the newly
elected officers , after which the convention
will adjoinn sine die and most ot the mem

time to visit In Omaha and Council muffs.

amount. The bonds have been tunning
