Several Thonsand Dollars Worth of Lumber Destroyed Mysterions Incendiarism, About half past 10 o'clock Saturday night fire was discovered in the yards of the Chicago Lumber Company, and the alarm socn called out the department. The flames when first seen were at the northeast corner of the dry room, a building 20 by 60 feet filled with dry pine finishing lumber. The first man to discover it says that in reaching the place it looked as if a pan of oil had been dash- ed against the end of the building, as the rapidity with which the flames spread, together ~with the odor of burn- ing kerosene, indicated clearly that some one had for some mysterious purpose set the fire. The streams from the waterworks hydrants were soon on the flames, but before the fire could be subdued the damage had reached several thousand dollars. The dry room was speedily consumed, and another building 30by 00 feot, containing three cars of sash doors and blinds, was badly burned, and the contents damaged somewhat. Some cars filled with lumber were on the side-track, and they caught fire, but were moved out of the way and the flames put out, A barn belonging to J. W. Pere- goy, and occupied by J, W. Lee, a team- ster, was burned to the ground, with the contents, which belonged to Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee's two horses were so badly burned that they had to be put out of their misery by shooting. The loss to the Chicago Lumber company will probably reach $4,000, and was covered by ineur- ance. The loss to Mr, Lee is really the hardest one, for he is a man 65 years of age, and it was his little all. He has been employed hauling sewer pipe, and by the aid of his team was able to earn a livelihood, but _he has no means to re- place them. Mayor Vaughan and J. C. TReagan will probably interview some of the business men to-day and endeavor to raise enough money to get another team for Mr. Lee. o —— DO NOT FORGET To inspect the elegant new stock of J.

Politics Rupning Wild in a Lively Little Missouri Town, Ernest Smith returned Saturday from his trip into Mlssourl, and reports a happy time. He found Rockport in what a state of excitement over a shooting aflair, which happened there Wednesday. It appears that Mr. Low, who is the editor of a democratic paper there, charged Mr. Wyatt, a prominent politician and wealthy banker, with hay- ing packed a certain convention. Wyatt's son, a young man who has just reached his majority, was very angry at the way his father's name had been used, and in his youthful wrath notified the editor that if he used either his fathor's name or his again he would shoot him. The next insue of the paper had some paragraphs referring to the young man's freshness, and then he went to the editorial reom, with a horsewhip, prepared to get rovenge. As he struck at the eaitor the latter collared him, and was about ¢ject- ing him from the office when young Wyatt pulled a revolver and (ired, the ball inflicting & wound which itis feared will prove fatal, The young man gave heavy bonds and is at libercy, waiting for the result of the wound. Mr. Smith was wonderfully pleased with the little town of Lockport, despite this sensational feature. He says he has never seen & more thriving, busy place, nor better built place for its size 1t has about 1,300 inhabitants #nd is strictly an inland town, there not being a railway track within five miles, yet business 1s rushing, It is the county seat and has a fine court house, the business portion is built of solid brick stores, there is an excellent skating rink, a fine large new achool building and other worthy im- provements, —— The OAd Fellows, Extensive and careful preparations are being made for the coming meetings of the grand encampment and grand lodge I, O, O, F, in this city, October 21, The committee, congisting of D, C, Bloomer, president; G.

Manchester dealers last month shipped 214,820 pounds of butter and 31,420 dozen eggs. The enrollment of school children at Cedar Rapids numbers 2,450; the largest in the history of the city. Two hundred delegates are expected to attend the Baptist conyention meeting in Des Moines on the 22d inat. Forty births and twenty-threo deaths were reported to the county clerk of Polk county during September. James Kennedy, the thug who brutally beat Charley Collins in Sioux City, has been set at liberty by the mayor, hecause Collins, who is still confined to his house, was unable to prefer charges against him, Circuit court convened in Calhoun county on the 7th, but owing to the de- struction of papers in the recent burning of the court house, the most of the cases were necessarily continued for substitu- tion of papers. The Franz brewing company, of Sioux City, has brought suit against certain Cherokee parties who, under the prohibi- tory law, selzed & quantity of largerine shipped by the company to that place. The complainants claim that the bever- age contains but a fraction over three per cent of alcchol, and under the law s not intoxicating. The amount of damages claimed is £7,000. James Storey, a cattle dealer, pounced upon Thos. A, Hughes, a milkman, in Sioux City, Thursday, and broke him all up. The bones of the nose were broken, the upper jaw fractured, several teeth knocked out and others loosened, his upper lip cut tnrough and other wounds received on the head. The cause of the assault was the shutting up by Mr. Hughes of some of Storey’s cattle that had come into his (Hughes) cornfield. The Ottumwa Couricr is informed that Des Moines saloons are run on a new plan. The bartender wears a cutaway coat with two large pockets in the tails In theso ho stows a fow quart bottles of liquor, and when & customer comes in and gives a wink, out comes a bottle, a drink is poured out, the customer pays ten cents, and the bottle goes back into the bartender’s hind pocket. When an officer comes in to search for liquors the bartender quietly walks out with the liquor stock in his coat tails, The Des Moines Leader says: Presi- dent Smith, of the stato aggicultural so- clety, now in St. Loufs, has written a lot- tor to parties in this city stating that Dos Moines, having failed to ralse the desired §50,000, the society now solicits bids from other localities. To those who sup- posed this matter had been definitely set- tled since subscriptions to the necessary amount had been raised here, the letter of Mr, Smith may sound strange. The facts are these: Private subscriptions aggregating 835,000 have been secured, and the balance, $15,000, was to have been donated by parties from whom land for the fair grounds should be purchased. This was eminently satisfactory at the time, but since that timo the society, not satisfied with a subscription, sought to have subscribers embody thelr obliga- tions in the form of notes, This the lat- ter have refused to accede to, a majority entering the objection that they did not care to have their notes hawked about the streets, Hence the present complica tions, Further developments will be looked forward to with absorbing interest by the surprised people of the napital city. | —eem— - A Hard-Working Author, Stepnisk, the author of Underground Russia, 18 & great worker, He goes to bed at midnight, rises at 2, and plies his pen without surcease— save for refresh- wents, which he tosses as he writes, until noon, Then he sleeps for about three hours, when he again sets to work, and, until midnight, gives himself only or two short spells of rest.

C. I, GOOnMA: Wholesale Agent. His M nnati Enquirer, Alexander Machrie is a foreman for the Spencer & Craig Printing company, He lives on Wright street, Covington, whero he owns a little home. He is known among his associates as an industrious worker, who spends very little of his time or money in saloons or places of amuse- ment, Every pay day he managed to pnt away a few dollars for safe keeping, until finally he had accumulated $400. The young man guarded his little treasure with jealous care. Frequantly he read in the daily papers about the failure of savings banks, which had been trusted by poor peoplo with their fewjhard-earned dollars, and this made him looso faith in Institutions of this kind. He resolved to become his own banker, and concluded to bury his money in the cellar of his house. At midnight, about four months ago, he took up his lamp and spade and began digging out a fow feet of the dirt in a corner of the cellar. The 8400 consisted of Treas- ury notes of all denominations. They were placed in a strong box and deposit- ed in the hole he had dug. The box re- mained undisturbed in its hiding-place until recently, when Machrie opened it to seo If it was all there yet. On taking off the lid he staggered back pale and frightened. Instead of the crisp, now bank notes he had placed there a short while ago, he found a hard lump of paper, which appeared to bo us solid as stone, His greenbacks had be- come a petrified maes, The hoavy rains had filled the cellar with water, and loosened tho dirt, so that the damp air penetrated the opening of the tin box and converted the paper into pulp. At first Machrle grieved over his great loss. But his hopes brightened when he was told that the Government would probably —— rey Potrified, redeem the money. He called at the Sub-Treasury, and was told to present the matter in writing to the treasury department at Washington. He confided his secrot to Mr. Craig, one of his employers, and the latter wrote a letter to Secretary Folger.
