Ing totally destroyed the Exposition building
on Capitol nvenue , between Fourteenth end
Fifteenth streets , and the First IJaptlst
church , just north of the west end of tlio
building , at Fifteenth and Davenport streets.
The Exposition building contained Exposition
hall on the cast , the Fifteenth Street theater ,
or the old Grand opera house , on tlio west ,
and a number of small stores and cfllces
fronting on Capitol avenue. The Exposition
annex , which was the old city hall , council
chamber and pollco headquarters , burned
down several months ago , and now nothing
Is left on the block but two old houses and
a small brick building , occupied by the
Omaha News company.
The Exposition building was owned by A.
J. 1'oppleton , having been purchased In 1S91
for 12,000 , from the bankrupt Exposition com
pany. It's cost was $110,000 , and It was
opened In 18SG , Insurance on this building
was carried only to the amount of $8,000
{ 5,000 on Iho theater and $3,000 on the hall
It was In the following companies : German-
American , Granite State , German of Free
port , Connecticut , Pennsylvania , $1,500 each
Providence National , $500.
On the church was Insurance aggregating
$10,000 ; $5,000 In the Gprmanla of New
York ; $2,500 In the Insurance Company o (
North America , and $2,500 In the London
and Lancashire , with $1,000 on furnltiiro and
fixtures In the Spring Garden of I'hllade !

WHO SMALLER LOSERS ARE.
The "Uunch of Koys" company , which played
In the theater Monday night , lost scenery
and warbrobe. Katlo Emmet's company ,
which was to open an engagement Sunday
night , lost about $000 worth of stage property
that the company would not need for a few
days , and which had been forwarded.
Occupants of stores and offlces who are los
ers are : Strlbllng Cigar company , John
Clark , tailor ; Mrs. A. Welburn , Frank John-
eon , commission , 1408 Capitol avenue , and
J. W. Lally , cigars. They lost nearly every
thing and carried very little Insurance.
J. F. Lally was awakened by the fire and
hurriedly made his way to the street. Then ,
remembering the books of a couple of lodges
of which he Is treasurer , he rushed back
Into the store , grabbed the lodge books and
got out all right. Lolly's next move was to
awaken Mr. and Mrs. Jordan , who sleep In
the room next to his store , and who take
care of the building. When awakened Jor
dan mill his wlfo jumped to the sidewalk
just as the roof was falling. Mrs. Jordan
fainted as soon as she struck the sidewalk.
This family lost everything. Mr. Lally car
ried $150 Insurance , and will lose about $300.
Special Oftlcer E. L. McFadden , who lives
with his family In the northwest corner of
the building , lost everything except ) one
trunk. When the alarm was given , McFad
den attached the line of hose kept on the
stage and attempted to keep the brick wall
on the east cool. The smoke and fire poured
over the wall so thick that the officer was
suffocated and fell on the stage. In making
his way out McFudden feil over the foot
lights Into the orchestra , and broke the
thumb of his right hand !
.Mr. I. W. Miner , who Is In charge of the
thVater programs , lost his desk and office
fixtures , with no Insuranqc. Several of the
stage hands had considerable clothing
burned.
Man/igor nurgess of the theater lost all
edictfurniture. . Ho carried an Insurance on
this of $200.
The plate glass windows on the north
sldo of tlio Dellono hotel were cracked and
splintered by the heat. All of the large
windows on the first floor were ruined , and
many of the smaller panes In the second
and third stories were cracked In fcpots.
The damage will amount to nearly $500.
The Mandcrson block "was severely scorched ,
but the damage 1s slight.
The Intense heat scorched the Dennett
stables directly across the street , on Capitol
avenue. All of the horses and rigs were
run out to a place of safety , as It was
feared that the flames would leap across
the street. Windows In Hart's saloon , on
the corner of Fifteenth and Capitol avenue
were cracked by the heat.
HUNDRED THOUSAND LOSS.
The total loss Is estimated at between $100-
000 and $125,000.
The origin of the flro Is unkncwn. It
started In the cigar store of John Lally In
the southeast corner of the Exposition build
ing. Ofllcer Harry Flint was patrolling his
beat on Capitol avcnuo nljcut 4:15 : o'clock
when ho discovered the blaze. In five min
utes the cabtcrn end of the building was on
flro and In as many more the flames were
rapidly spreading northward along the roof.
Soon nfttr the fire entered the
theater a muflled explosion was
heard , which seemed to drlvo the flame
clear to the west end ot the building. They
burst from tbo roof along the whole length
and drove back the firemen who had gone
Into the theater with the expectation of holdIng
Ing the lire at the flro wall behind the stage
The wooden Interior of the theater caught
In a score of places at once , and fifteen
minutes after the first alarm had been
turned In the whole half block was an un
broken stretch of rolling , tumbling flames.
The heat was Intense and drove back the
crowd of sightseers who had left their
beds at that early hour. The firemen had
all the available streams scattered along
the building , but the territory was so ex
tensive that there was not enough watci
thrown at any point to have any appar
ent effect. Then the church caught fin
and In less than two hours the destruction o
the whole was complete.
Assistant Chief Salter attributes the sprcac
of the fire to Insufficient water pressure ant
apparatus.

WHAT BAPTISTS WILL DO.
The trustees of the First Baptist churcl
mot In the forenoon to figure up their Insurant'
and decide upon a plan of action for the COu
turc. An Invitation was received from uho
Young Men's Christian association to us
their hall for church services until other or
rangcments could be made , and the offer Tas
gratefully accepted , The first service will b
aesoclatloi
will doubt
less revive the old controversy among itbe
members as to a church location.
The pastor , Dr. Meltings , was seen its
morning and when asked about the reloca
tlon he said that there was no doubt aut
that the question wfiuld be seriously utn
eldered. Whether the sentiment of the con
grcgatlon would favor It or not ho was no
prepared to say. Some of the members hai
thought that the church would be a mor
potent factor for good If it was situated In
more favorable locality , while others wer
devotedly attached to the old site and woul
stubbornly resist any effort toward a change
The first Baptist church was In early day
the finest bouso ot worship In this wester
country. The church was organized In 185 ;
and after worshiping In a frame chapel fc
eight or nine years the present structure wa
commenced. Eight years were consumed I
Its building , and when completed In 1SC9 I
cost $05,000.

day-New llulidlut ; In I'rojpect.
EVen ftre cannot keep Billy Durgesi out
the ttieater business In Omaha. On Octob
2 , 1893 , while thousands of spectators we
,
watching the destruction by fire of the Fa
n m Street theater , the old Boyd opera houa
Mr , Uurucsj had commenced negotiation ! f
the lease of the Grand opera house , and was
ready In thteo days for builness In the new
stand , the name ofVhlch was changed to the
Fifteenth Street theater.
Before the flro was out In the Fifteenth
Strict theater yesterday , Mr. Burgess had se
cured a lease of the old Dauglas Street thea
ter , and had a force of men at work prepar
ing It for the opening on Thursday night with
Ezra Kendall > n "The Substitute. "
The old Douglas Street theater was re
paired and repainted last spring , and rented
by two ambitious young men , Phillips and
Palmer , who attempted to open a second pop
ular price theater In Omaha. The venture
was not a success , and the place passed Into
the hnndjs of Duncan Clark , who has been
running It as a variety show resort for sev
eral months. The building is In very good
condition , and will be put In the best shape pos
sible to servo Mr. Burgess' bookings until
better quarters can be secured.
And there Is but llttlo question that better
quarters can bo secured , and that at a very
early date. No more popular theatrical man
than Mr. Burgess ever lived In Omaha , and
for some time It has been understood that
parties were ready to build an opera house
for his management. The fire ot yesterday
morning brotight matters to a focus , and It Is
now pretty well understood that Omaha will
soon have another theater especially built
for the purpose to which It will ba adapted.
Mr. Burgess has proved his ability as a man
ager , and any theatrical venture under his
management Is assured of popular favor and
patronage.
The name of the Douglas Street theater will
be changed to The Empire , and the place will
bo run as a strictly first class amusement
rescrt , presenting the attractions that were
billed for the Fifteenth Street theater.
The Empire will have a seating capacity of
1,300.
Mute * on tlio 1'lrc.
The church walls are so cracked that they
cannct be used In the construction of a new
building.
Max Meyer lost two fine Stelnway pianos in
the Fifteenth Street theater. Another fine
piano was destroyed In the Baptist church.
Jack Lally says that he saw a man stand
Ing In front of Miller's commission house
within a few mlnutei after the flre was dis
covered. He had to go and awaken Mr. and
Mrs. Jordan , but Is pretty sure that he recog
nized the man. The pollca are Investigating
the matter. '
A number of wprklngmen have begun circu
lating petitions to the city council that the
whole block laid waste by flre yesterday be
purchased and a "market house ba erected
thereon without delay. The Idea seems to
meet with general favor , and It Is thought
that the owners ot the land can bo Induced
to part with It for reasonable figures.

AX.\UUXVKMCXTS.
There will bo a special matinee nt Boyd's
this afternoon at 2:30 : , and popular prices
will bo the rule. So the people of Omaha will
have a. chance to see Donnelly & Glrard
In their newest conceit , "Tho Rainmakers , "
which has made such a favorable Impression
here during the week. It Is full of healthy ,
pure fun , and every ona should take advan
tage of the popular prices. Come early and
secure good scats and a good laugh. Don
nelly & Glrard's engagement closes with to
night's performance.
Eugene Tompklns' magnificent spectacular
prcductlon , "The Black Crook , " will open
at the Boyd on tomorrow night , con-
tlrulng the remainder of the week ,
with matinee Saturday. This strong
play , with Its suggestion of the wild and
weird , as well as Its gorgeous scenic effects ,
has given Ideas to managers for many years ,
and has been a temptation for lavish exrcnd- )
ture. Through all Its years of success ,
though the spectacle and specialties are
changed , the lines havp remained the same
as when Mr. Barras wrote them. The mag
nificence of Mr. Tomklns' revival Is beyond
the -power of description ; you must see It
to appreciate Its. beauties. It was the talk
of New York when It ran nearly a solid
year at the Academy of Music , and as It
will bo presented here It will be a series of
pictures of bewildering beauty.
The company comprises moro handsome
women than any other company on the road.
The now ballet of popular nlrs Includes "The
New Bowery , " "Tho Musical Dolls , " "The
Cigarette , " and "Tho Bold Soldier Boy , "
and on entirely new Idea In living pictures.
The march of the Silver Army down the
Illuminated terrace , under the glare of
nearly 1,000 electric lights. Is grand beyond
description. Mr. Lawrence McCarty , manager
of "The Black Crook , " Is In the city , and
,
Is making the preparatory arrangements for
the big production. The sale of seats will
open this morning.
-
Not a single chestnut Is the announcement
of Cosgrovo & Grant's "Dazzler , " which
opens an engagement at Boyd's Sunday after
noon. The company Is entirely new , and the
play as well the latter having been entirely
rewritten the last summer. Elaborate scenic
effects and handsome dresses , with pretty
girls Inside of them , are promised , and the
entire production this season Is considered
. the best the piece has ever had.
Manager W. J. Burgess upon realizing that
: It would be impossible to save the Fifteenth
Streef theater , Immediately secured the only
other available place In the city , the Douglas
Street theater. Mr. Burgess will endeavor
- to rescue this old place of amusement from
, the shadow Into which It has fallen of late
and will do all In his power to render It
as popular with Omaha play-goers as his
other theaters have justly been. The first
attraction appearing under Mr. Burgess1
.
management at the "Douglas" will be Ezra
Kendall , the well known eccentric comedian ,
who will produce his latest comedy success ,
"The Substitute. " Mr. Kendall hasbecome
thoroughly Identified with the peculiar style
of characters which he has portrayed during
seasons past , that of the "old countryman"
type , and as Tm Interpreter of such Is de-
scrvlngly popular. The supporting company
Is said to bo a competent one , Including such
artists as Miss Jennie Dunn , J. D. Williams
Leo Hardman and others. The management
desire to hold their largo family patronage In
their new home of amusement , and with that
bbject In view will present a reserved scat
h free to every lady attending the advance
' sale Thilrsday morning , December G , between
u- the hours ot 9 and 10.

IT DOES NOT WORRY LOMAX
Looks for No Abrogation of Agreements Be
tween Union Pacific and Northwestern ,
TALKS ABOUT BURLINGTON-ELKHORN DEAL
Conclusion ! Itenchott by the Milwaukee
1'coplo Not on Good Ground I'lau
llal Itofcrcnco Only to lluilncss
for Hillings ami Sheridan.
, , Railroad circles were all agog yesterday
morning over the announcement , made ex
clusively In The Bee that the Burlington and
Elkhorn were about to execute an agreement
for the Interchange of business at Crawford.
The Milwaukee people saw In this new move
on the railroad checker board the abrogation
of the contract between the Union Pacific and
Northwestern , a consummation which they
have earnestly prayed for ever since the
Union Pacific and Northwestern made their
close traffic agreement.
U Is a well known fact that the Milwaukee
was given an opportunity to hold the same
position with the Union Pacific that the
Northwestern now holds , but for some un
known reason the alliance was negatived on
the part of Mr. Roswell Miller , the president
ot the Milwaukee company , and the North'
western became tha second party to the con
tract. Now the Milwaukee would bo only
too glad to enter Into the same relations as
enjoyed by the Northwestern , but the chances
ara that It will have to wait some time yet
before the "Overland" system and the North
western decide to part company.
General Passenger Agent Lomax of the
Union Pacific said that the contemplated
agreement between the Burlington and Elkhorn -
horn was news to him. He declined to ex
press an opinion ad to the advantages that
would accrue to- either party to the agree
ment , but when asked If the proposed con
tract would' abrogate the Union Pacific-
Northwestern alliance , he was pronounced In
his opinion that It would not affect the pres
ent amicable association of the two systems.
"The Northwestern has spent entirely too
much money In developing Its transconti
nental line through the medium of the Union
Pacific to abrogate a contract In which It has
much the- stronger advantage. Under our
contract all business originating on the line
cf the Northwestern for North Pacific coast
and Pacific coast points Is given to the Union
Pacific at the river. In fact , the Northwest
ern runs Its cars through to the Pacific coast
AF1ER 25 YEARS
Of suffering from Chronic Dyspep
sia andStomach Troubles.
Anloivn l.ndy Itclates thnlScinurkablo Man
ner In Uhluh Sliu iiocuino Cnruil ,
For some time past we have published re
ports of the wonderful cures made In cases
of dyspepsia and chronic Indigestion by the
new and remarkable discovery in medical
science , kno\\n as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. But of all the hundreds of cures made
In the past month none compare with the
last received. For the benefit of the great
army of dyspeptics wo herewith present the
letter from the lady herself , as follows :
Stuart Chcm. Co.
Dtar Sirs After using only one package
of your Dyspepsia Tablets I have received
such great and unexpected benefit that I
wish to express my sincere gratitude. In
fact It has been six months since I took the
package and I have not had one particle cf
distress or difficulty since. And all this In
the face of the fact that the best doctors I
consulted , told me my case was chronic dys
pepsia and absolutely Incurable as I liad
suffered twenty-five years. I want half a ,
dozen packages to distribute among my
friends here who are very anxious to try this ,
remedy. Very truly yours ,
. Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels ,
Lynnvllle , Jasper Co. , Mo.
The above letter was received wholly un
expected and we haveno reason to doubt
the lady's statement. Wo firmly tcll.vo that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the only remedy
so for discovered that will positively cure
chronic dyspepsia , and for mild cases of
stomach trouble , such as acidity , water
brash , wind on stomach , bloating or fullness
after meals , heartburn , etc. , It gives almost
Instant and lasting relief. And the beauty
of It all is you do not have to diet yourself ,
take baths or go to a high toned sanitarium.
You stay at home , cat all the wholesome ,
well cooked food you can get and take these
tablets before and after each meal. People
often write asking If they can eat this cr
that kind of pic , etc. To all such we say
eat all the pie you want ( If you can get It
these hard times ) and right In this connec
tion we would state that another point not
to be overlooked Is the fact that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets cost but 50cts. per package -
ago at all druggists. If they don't happen
to have it they will get It for you.
They are made by the Stuart Ghem. Co , ,
Marshall , Mich. Your druggist will tell you
more about It.

Just as the Union Pacificdocs. . The same
Advantage * , however , -would not apply to the
Elkhorn. In the contemplated agreement
between the Burlington and Elkhorn , I under
stand , It limply means a pooling ot business
for the Dlack Hllli , Sheridan and Illlllngfl.
Business must originate on the Elkhorn to
be Riven to the Uurllngtcm at Crawford , In
stead of. being given to the Chicago , St.
Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha , as la now the
case. However , I have not mode any study
of th new situation , but do not think the
proposed agreement calls for any worry on
the part of the Union Pacific. No road could
give better facilities for the handling of
transcontinental business ! than tlici Union
Pacific and the Northwestern arc giving , and
any talk looking toward the abrogation ot
the existing contract between these roads is
purely sensational. "

That's n mystery. Take ( Payne ) ami work out the two

Little folks' clothes arc nearly everywhere sold on the
same ridiculous guessing plan. Guess it is worth so much
more , because the patterns arc desirable , or perhaps Mrs. So
and So's boy wears one of 'em , and the demand might in
crease.
\Ve don't trouble ourselves about what others do , but
what Ave do. No guessing hero. Small boys' suits are
here well represented. Large collection of patterns and
styles , perhaps not the prettiest in the land , according to
soinc queer tastes , but they're the best from the best houses
in the country. Can't do any better unless we could com.
municate with planet iMurs.
There is no guess work about our prices either the only
guessing we are at is how many new patrons each suit will
make. Our prices arc a motto , "cheaper bought cheaper
sold. "
Wc nrc nblc to finish you ns
a suit as anyone at $3.50.
This week in particular. Got a hold of a tremendous lot of
children's clothes lately , when our buyer was ransacking
