A fire which destroyed several thousand
dollar * ' worth of pnrpcrty occurred nt 1110
rarnnm street Sunday morning at1 o clocH.
Onorgo 11. Leo , the Omnhn Penny 1'ress
and tha Trade Kxhlblt company were
) .nrncd out before the fire department could
ronnucr the flames. The lois. which ag
gregates about $ ir.,000. Is covered partially
In Instiranco.
Tlio flro was discovered shortly bcforo 4
o'clock , blazing nway merrily on the second
end floor ot the building. It Is supposed
that It started about the -center of the build
ing In the room occupied by George H. Lee ,
Hi iiKHeultural ohrmlsl. Its origin Is un
known , us the Btovo In located In the front
of the room. The floor wns covered with
combustible * used ! > y Mr. Leo In the manu
facture of poisons for the destruction of In
sects. Considerable oil -was In Uie room
and smoXc from this Piled Ihe building
when Iho llamcs reached It. The firemen
found nil the second lloor nllnmo nnd BOOH
had tin co streams ( if wntor playing on It
from the roar , ns they wore unat > lo to climb
the Htalnv.iy on account of the smoke ,
which was heavy nnd overpowering- gen
eral call v-a.s sounded nnd the heavy trucks
i'i mnipneed their run toward tlio building.
The truck from the engine house at Hlght-
oentli and Harnoy streets got stuck In the
Bnowdrlft when turning on Karnam nnd
could not 'bo ' drawn out for some llttlo tlmo.
"When It arrived nt the 'building ' the horses
refused to enlor the drifts near the Bide-
walk nud the firemen wore forced to run
the ladders up near the car tracks , almost
In the center of the street. The ladder
truck from 1'loventh nnd Dorcas Hlreets
Jiad arrived In Iho meantime and this was
put Into service Immediately. The delay
occasioned , however , had been disastrous , as
the flames hnd eaten their way to the third
lloor and were hard to reach. The smoke
from Iho oil on the second floor continued
nlining nnd Ihe firemen worked nt a tils-
ndvnntngu. While Iheyvcro \ In the midst
of their labors n second nlarm Bounded at
1 22 and Chief Itcdcll wns compelled to
HOIK ! AsslHlnnl Chief Sailer with two com
panies to Ninth nnd Cnpllol avenue lo mecl
n second attack of the lire fiend.
Until tlif Fliinii'N In rhcck.
Another danger threatened , as the flro ate
through the wall , following the course of
the joists Into the third story of the build
ing lit 1108 Farnam street. This building
was soon < lrenchcd and the spread otf the
llamcs In that direction wns stopped.
H looked for n tlmo ns if the building
wliero this flro originated would be totally
destroyed. The popping of the explosives
furnished fresh fuel.
The ground lloor was occupied-by Came
ron & Johnson. They suffered from dam-
nges by water , but as their stock con
sisted of plumblngjnnterlals It Is not be
lieved they were badly damaged. They had
$ GOD Insurance.
The second floor was scorched so that
Mr. Leo thinks his lots will consist of his H
entire stock with the exception of several
cases of empty bottles. Ho claims to have
Imtl between $ r > ,000 nnd JG.OOO worth of
goods In the building. He carried $2,500 in
surance.
The tl.lrd lloor was occupied by the
I'cnny Press and the Trade Kxhlblt com
pany. Their plants are almost a tolnl loss ,
nlthough the Press was forlunato enough to
unvo Us flies. The Exhibit carried $700 In-
Htiranco. The Pokrok Printing company
fOS South Twelfth street , hns tendered the
use of its plant to Hie Trade Exhibit com
pany , so no lime will ho losl in continuing
Iho work.
\ \ ' . U. Michael Is ngonl for Uie building ,
which It Is estimated will require an ex
penditure of about 43,00(1 ( to repair. The In-
Buranco on the building Is $0.000.
Tha building at 110S Farnam street was
vacant. It wns damaged slightly on the
third floor where the flames followed the
joists which connected It with tlio building
nt 1110 Farnam street.
The ground lloor at 1112 Farnam slreet
wns occupied by Ihe J. P. Cook company.
The firm will huvo n small loss on account
of water. The second lloor of this build
ing was used by n family consisting of a
man and his wlfo nnd his mother , who Is
S3 years of age. The smoke from Uie
burning building filled their rooms so
quickly lhat the aged mother wns saved
with difficulty.
Klronii'ii Cilvrn Another Unit ,
Tlie second flro started In n. ono-story cot
tage nt 203 North Ninth street , owned by
AVilllam Scha'-wobor. It
wns occupied par
tially by the furniture of a colored woman
Josephine Rogers , bettor known n "nig
Mike ? ' who was just moving In. Owing to
the Into arrival ot the firemen from the
llrst flro the building wns completely do
stroyed. The owner had $400 Insurance on
the building nnd Uie furniture wns Insured
for $200.
Sparks from the cottage dropped on th
root of the building nt 201 North Nlntt
street , also owned by Mr. Scharweber. nn
occupied by Bessie Heed. Part of the roe
was burned off and the contents slightly
damaged by smoke and water. The bulld-
IiiK wns Insured for $1,000 and the furniture
for $300.

It appears ( hut there la method In the
madness of ex-Captain of Police Cox. He
has Instituted proceedings questioning the
right rf Martin Whllo to hold the olllce of
chief of police of Omaha and thereby hangs
a talc. !
Cox hns no hopes of ousting White , but
by llllng his case and putting up a bold
front ho expects to run the biggest kind of
a bluff upon the members of the Fire nnd
Police commission. Ho hcjes and expects
that ho will scare the city Inlo paying him
some alleged hack pay. Cox , It will bo re
membered , Is the odlcer who was "honorably
j discharged" on account of having run away
| from n party of men whom ho was sent out
to arrest.
The play that Cox Is making Is In perfect
line In some respects wllh the plan adopted
by ox-Captain Ha7e , who has been trying to
annoy Chief While for n long time. Some
tlmo ago , playing Into the bands
of a lot of disgruntled parties ,
principally the members of the Molsc-
llerdman-Fannlng gong , Haze went to Chicago
cage , hoping while llicro lo discover some-
llilng by which ho might prove that Whlto
Is not a resident of this city. While there
he went out lo the homo of the aged mother
of Mnrtln White , nnd , expressing the most
friendly concern for her son , in a roundabout -
] about way tried to Induce her to declare
Mnrtln White voted In Chicago after
ho received his appointment here. The
nged mother received the man as a friend ,
but assured him that her son hnd long since
tnkcn up tils residence In Omnha and thai
he had neither voled nor taken an Interest
In Chicago politics. She further informed
him thnl her son hnd cstubllshed a per
manent residence In Omaha and that she
Id not expect him back except to occa-
lonally moke a friendly visit.

Mayor Mooroa has a scheme whereby
5,000 may bo nddcd to the police fund.
Tills sum Is the amount needed annually
o maintain the city jail nnd he Insists thai
his expenditure should not bo paid by the j
lollce fund , 'but out of the gcnernl or somn
pecial fund. This Item covers Janitors' and
nglnecrs' salaries , price of coal nnd all
ither sundries that nro supplied the jail
iluring Ihe year.
If the Hoard of Fire and Police Commis
sioners had this extra $5,000 the police pro-
ecllon of the city could bo increased to
nn appreciable extent , " sajs iMnyor Moores.
'There Is no reason whatever why the cost
of maintaining the city jail should be p.ild
out of the police fund. At least n portion
of It should come out of the fund provided
for the payment of the salaries of the police
court attaches. This part could properly be
charged up ns maintenance of police court
nnd nu ono will maintain thnl Ihe police
fund should bo called upon to pay the ex-
icnses of the police court. "
'Mayor ' Moores will send a communication
to thr > council at the nexl meeting of the
body urging that some action bo taken re-
ardlng the matter as speedily as possible.

I. TV. Wlthrow , 531 South Twenty-fifth

Intruder had broke Into.Turner's barn , 331G
Farnam fitreet , during Ihe absence of the
employes nnd slole $135 In cash and a
mackintosh. The robbery occurred Saturday
morning about 11 o'clock. The thief crawled I
through n window nnd then broke open the
door to the room occupied by the coachman
where he found Iho money and coat.
Dr. Daniel P. Teters , 2714 Soulh Nlno-
tePnlh street , wns awakened by a buiglnr
whom ho found standing In the door of his
bedroom about 4 o'clock Sunday morning.
A terrific yell frightened the Intruder out
of his wits and sent 'him ' scurrying out of r
the house. He carried Mrs. Teters' pocketbook -
book with him , which contained n tiinall
sum of money.
Oeorgo Gilbert told the police that he left
$10 worth of his plastering tools in a
wngon back of n house near Thirtieth and
Churlcti street. When ho returned they
were all gone.
Grace liartson reporled the loss of n $10

When It began to snow those persons 'n ' netd
of rcrnl and provisions called nt the rooms
of the Assoclalcd Chnrllies and Iho commis

rcqucsls for assistance , however , wore not as
numoious ns might have been expected , con
sidering the promised appro.acli of n blizzard
of largo proportions.
Secretary Laughlnnd reports that the calls
for assistance decrease dally as tlio vonther
moderates , Unless nn unforeseen cold bpell 1
comes on lie thinks tlio necessity for such
largo amounts of fuel nnd food Is about over.

lly the Inauguration next Tuesday of n
| regular pemMvcekly tourist sleeping car
service from Kansas City to Seattle and
the Pugct Sound counlry Iho Ilurllngton
will make n new departure In the western
railroad field. While It will be tha general
custom to refer to these cars ns tourist
sleepers , thnl renll.v Is a misnomer. They
are what are termed "ordinary" sleepers ,
which Is a grade better than the lourisl
cars , yet not so elaborate pa the standard
sleeper. Their use Is to some extent an
experiment lo lesl Ihe apparent demand for
cheaper sleeping car rates.
The "ordinary" sleeper Is unld to tie aNew
Now Hnglnnd Idea. It is In line with tha
frugality chnrnctcrlsllc of that section of
the country , It combines nil the comforts
ono might expect In Irnvollng without nny
undue elegance or extravagance. The need
of eomothlng ot this kind was suggested to
meet the wants ot the numerous excursions
from the Now England states to the Pacific
coast and other distant points , when the
length of time consumed In the trip made
the u BO oC the standard sleeper too expen
sive.
sive.Taking
Taking up the Idea nnd developing It Into
n practical form the Pullman company put
out the "ordinary" sleeper. The zcnl with
which the traveling public takes to the new-
cars will determine the permanency of their
use. As said before , they are now used
as nn experiment. A good xleal has been
said about making It possible for the trav
eler of small means to secure sleeping car
accommodations and the Pullman company
put out these cars to learn If there WHS
auy considerable portion of the public which
would use the "ordinary" sleeper.
The Baltimore & Ohio was Ihe first road
In the country to make use ot Iho new car.
In fuct , U Is the only road In the east to
make a ibreak from tbo exclusive u e of
standard sleepers and Its Innovation nt-
traded much attention from the other lines
al Iho lime It was announced. II was pre
dicted then that the experiment would prove
a failure , but BO far the results seem to
have been reasonably sailsfaclory , nllhoiigh \
It Is yet lee early lo pass final judgment
upon the value of the addition to the service
of the road.
Try < o KoritOn Hie Cnri .
An Important feature In connection with
the "ordinary" sleeper la thnt holders of
second class tickets 'have nil the privileges
offered by the car. The opposition to the
use of tlio cars by the eastern lines Is now
snld to bo at the 'bottom ' of the movement
In the Cenlral I'astenger association lo
abolish . Ihe sale of second class tickets. H
Is felt tliat If these tickets are no longer
used there will bo no further demand for
the "ordinary" sleeper , nnd It may thus be
eliminated from Ihe service. This facl , however -
over , remains lo be seen.
The Burlington is believed to be the flrst
of the western ronda to take up with the
"ordinary" sleeper , and It confines Its ex
periment at present to the travel from St.
Louie ] and Kansas City to Seallle and the
Puget Sound counlry and rclurn , and to be
run only twice a week. It is In the Ions
journeys that the "ordinary" will probably
be more generally used , as the rates on the
standard sleeper are not enough higher In
short Journeys lo deter a traveler from ac
cepting their accommodations it there Is no
other eleeper on the train. It Is felt then
that the experiment by the Burlington will
bo fair , and that after a few months' use
I the road will bo able to say positively
whether the "ordinary" Is Indeed filling a
long felt want. Should the claims ot the
friends of the now car bo sustained , It is
reasonable to believe that nil the through
lines will add the "ordinary" to their
equipment.
Tlio "ordinary" Is said to bo a now car ,
combining qualities possessed by the stand-
! ard and tourist sleeperH. It Is denied that
it is simply a renovated old-time sleeper.
It Us finished in hard woods with rattan
upholstering and aisle cnrpets. It has vir '
tually the eame beds curtains ! |
, and con-
vonlenccs as the flrst class sleeper. There 1 j j
Is less luxury on the new car , but there is
no skimping of conveniences. The. essential
difference In Its favor is Ihe decrease in
price. For Ihe average one-night accommo
dation the foe Is $1 Instead of $2 on tbo
htandard sleeper , but while this is not a
great deal when one takes a long journey
I and pays $ f > for thaso accommodations in 1
' place of Ihe $10 of Ihe standard cars , there f '
is a difference which can be appreciated by
most anyone ,
