Sparks from a passing eagine set out a fire on the farm of Mrs. Badg- ley, just south of town, Friday about noon, and considerable damage was done. The tire burned over « forty acre meadow, destroying about nine tons of hay, several rods of hedge and other fencing and a lot of rails. The Jourval Demccrat says the subject of-water works for Warrens- burg is being discussed by their cit izens and thecouncil. The council can gain some good pointers on put ting iu a first-class system of water works by coming to Butler, where they will find the best plant in the state. Our good frieud I. M. Swith, of Deepwater township, and little son, gave the Trves x friendly call Satur- day. He reports bis part of the county extremely dry and he, with other farmers, was compelled to haul water quite a distance for his stock. Mr. Smith has 69 head of cattle besides other stock to water, and he says it is no smail item look ling after them. The latest reports say that the life of many settlers in the strip is a combinations of horrors. There is The same could be | little food or water and bologna sausage and buns washed down , with soda pop are the staples of ex- ‘istance. The streams are going dry , and unless rain soon comes the situ- ation will grow worse. Hundreds of people are deserting the new country on account of the hardships. Tuerday morning about 800 boomers on their return from the strip passed through Kansas City homeward | bound. One disgusted boomer said he would not remain in the strip for three townships. The Star says; ! Phe crowd at the land office is over a mile long. On Sunday it was esti- mat-d that there were 2.500 people in line and most of these were thought to be sooners and speculst jors. The tenth man from the head of the line was one of the Jatter. A man made arunon a horse, which at a fair estimate. was worth $100 land this he traded for the tenth man’s place. The man then went to the rear on his horse and got in line again. Andy Waugb, clerk at Pryors ranch, rode from Orlanda and _ filed on a claim on the north boundary of the Ponca reservasion without going near it Hewasthe third man in line. The man im front of him rode in on a horse with a broken |leg, Mr. Waugh vouches to this and says he help him to kill the horse. After filing he rode to his claim and last night had a house erected on it, The people in the line are having a hardtimeofit. The dust is fright- ful and the heat and lack of water is making their lives miserable. The clerks in the office are working at a disadvantage on account of the dust. Many women are waiting to file and their condition is pitiable. There are young Jadics who left Arkansas City with blue serge suits white collars and cuffs and clean faces, wl 6 would not be recognized by ther own mothers and lovers so dirty and behevelled are they. There are hundreds of men being killed by the trains, gunshot wounds and by heing thrown from horses. Dozens of men can be found who saw these causualities but they can not tell the names of the victims nor what became of them.

The Destruction by the Forest Fires in Wisconsin Immense. Ashland, Wis, Sept. 18 —Nearly | the whole population of Ashland was busy yesterday tightivg the for est fire which almost surrounds the city. At noon the people were call ed from the churches by the fire alarius to tight the fire which rushed upon the town from the Odanal In- dian reservation. About 3. o'clock the water works gave out and the/ flames swept on unchecked, destroy- | ing a large amount of city property. | Twenty men were overcome in fight ing the fiames and were taken to the hospital. The fire has now burned over 210 square miles and is sweeping north, The damage done is enormous, the loss by the destruction of standing pine alone reaching 5 million dollars No rain has fallen since July 10 and all vegetation is as dry as tinder. Anumber of lives have already been lost by the fire. At Parish- ville, near here, a large iron plant has been burned. Along the Bad and White rivers farm houses are plentiful. Scores of these houses have been swept away. There are a number of small towns that may have shared in the disaster—-Marengo, White River, Highbiidge and others. In Ashland there is yo immediate danger of further conflagration un- less a cyc'onic whirl wind of fire should sweep the city off the face of the earth as it did Peshtigo in 1871. | A dispatch from Marshfield says that a call for help was received at 9 o'clock Sunday forenoon from Me Millian, asking forall the available men and buckets that Marshfield could send. A special train was made up and upwards of 200 men answered the call Arriving at Me Millau, they found the tire approach- ing from the east by astrong wind. Forming a bucket brigade they fought like heroer, and held the flames at bay until 3 o'clock this afternoon, when a slight shower of rain checked the fire and gave the tired workers a breathing spell As the sky betokens more rain, it is be lieved that MeMillan will pull through. It rained quite hard in Marshfield yesterday, and nearly all the fires have been put out. Fierce forest fires are raging be- tween Iron river avd Superior, and a great denl of damage to timber, railroad property nnd the property of homesteaders has been done. A dispatch from Merrill says that the wind has turned completely} around, stopping the progress of the forest fire. A light rain is fall | ing, and heavy clouds indicate gen- eral rain. The work of caring for destitute farmers has begun in earn- | est. { A dispatch from Steven p int} says that a drizzling rain storm, which set iu Sunday afternoon, will quench the forest fires throughout | that section and that danger from further disaster is now past.
