It Seems Increditable But itis Nevertheless True. Moores Magnificent Opera House at Nevada Sinks Into Ashes. cation Had Died Away. Man never knows when to’ look for calamities. The thing we call fate shapes the destiny of all things, indiscriminating, impartial and strikes at the fortunate as well as the unfoftunate, the rich and the poor, the great and the humble alike. The dire calimitythat has _befal- len the proud city of Neveda seems to be a harder fate and calls for a larger measure of sympathy than most cases. The burning of Moore’s Opera house ere the dedicatory cer- | emony was yet finished is as great a calamity as has ever struck. at the work of man in the West. Nevada was proud of her Opera House, proud of the noble spirit that erected it and elated to a high standard over its dedication. Well, indeed, might she be joyous over the occasion, for it was a grand and glorious one, and well may she now | mourn over the singular and excess- ively severe _ mistortune of Satur- isa sad story to relate. So much so that we confess our inability to do jus- tice to the even frightful circum- | } | | | salesman for Conover Bros., end. It is a sad, sad ending to a week of joy. Many of our citizens have behaved nobly in the trying emergency. Full particulars will when daylight comes. From Mr. Walton who of this city Nevada last night and returned this morning, the Times is informed that the above account is about correct. sic house of Walton & went down to The mu- Co., sus- tained some damage to instruments, | and would-have lost all had it not been tor the timely courage and Kan- sas City, who was stopping at the Nevada House just opposite the burning building, and on hearing the alarm rushed to the scene and | bursted open the door and by the time Mr. Allen had arrived on the spot | had everything under control, there- i by saving the stock from total loss. The insurance on the stock was suf- ficient to cover the damage. A public meeting will be held at Neyada to-night to take such steps as may be found neccessarry to re- build the Opera House. That’s the right kind of pluck. The following incidents. of Neva- da’s late disastrous © conflagration were culled trom the Nevada Demo- crat: The fact that water was so scarce that men even scooped it up from the gutters as itran down from the burning building, and used it again aad again to fightthe fire, demon- strates the urgent necessity of several additional public wells. All day long on Sunday, crowds of curious spectators hovered round | about the scene of the disaster, and : not one looked upon the smoldering | | stance. Let people behold the facts | and then express their teelings if they can. The lone blackened walls, the smouldering debris tell the story, solemn though it may be. But let not any depressed feeling govern future. Raise heads, ye noble people ot Nevada, sink your hands down into your pockets and make up to your bene- factor that which he has lost. - Let the | | deris but who experienced the most sincere regret.

The pastor’s morning-theme was “The Disobedience of Jonah;’’ the basis ot which was the language found recorded in the first chapter ot the book of Jonah. In the evening he preached from Proverbs 20:29: “The glory of young men is_ their strength.’”’ He said that the glory of the young man as here expressed | was not his personal appearance ; not the manner in which he parted his hair; not the amount of money he had; not the number of friends hd had, but his strength. He further explained that the word strength did not refer to phisical power but strenght of mind and heart. He delivered a strong discourse and one that ap pealed to every young man in his large audience. The sunday school had 45 present NOTES. The collection taken up at the Baptist charch last night, for the benefit of the Baptist church at Montrose, which had its building blown away by the cyclone recently, amounted to $5.50. Another col- lection for the same purpose will be taken up next Sunday night. The girls from gto 16 years of age of the Ohio street M.
