William Martin's Barn Burned Early Yes- terday Morning. LANTERN KICKED OVER BY A HORSE. | Hacks and Other Property Destroyed by the Flames—Story of a Driver and Suspicion of the iremen, A fire alarm was sent in yestorday morning K from the western part of the city. The fire that caused it was in William Mur- tin's barn, at the corner of ‘T'wentioth sirect and Avenue A, and then the fire department arrived almost the entire building, tegether with its contents, was destroyed. The flames also scorched Martin's dwelling house, but the prompt application of water provented the damage to the latter from being serious. According to tho story told by Wiilard James, who drives a back for Martin, the fire was started from a lantern which was upset by one of the horses, He says that after ho had unhitched the horses from the hack and led them to their stalls he set the lantern | down behind the stall and went v to take off While he was thus engaged one of the horses knocked over the lautern, and the hay in the stall was set on fire. He at once proceeded to untie the animals and lead thom out of dangor, after which he turned in alarm by teleptione. This story is the thing that throws any lghton the , but thers is one d oncy which leads to suspicion. The young man says ho went to the stable at about 2 o'clock, but the alarm was oot turned in until an hour late What wus being done during all that extra hour is o mystery to the firemen.

BOARD NI SCHOOL 'ING, Steps Taken Toward sting the Harrison Street Building. The school board met lust evening in regu- lar monthly session with Members Schoent gen, Waite, Hunter aud Schubert present. In the absence of both president and secre- Schoentgen was appointed chaivman and Shubert sccretary. Attention was calied to the fact that the board bad never formally resolved to build a new building on Harrison strcet, and a reso- lution to that effect was accordingly passea unanimously. The bids for the construction of the build- ing were then examined, and J. B. Weaver \s nwarded the contract, his bid being 20, The bid of Shugart & Co. for heating the building was §%, slightly lower than the other bidders, and the contract was let to them, Hunter moved that Contractor Weaver be required to furnish a bond of 31,000 for the fultilhng of tho terms of his contract. The motion was carried and the chuivman of the building committee was authorized to sign the coutracts of the successful biid ers for the work. The bill of Bell & Berlinghof for $200 for the drawing of vhe plans was allowed. The bill of W. Scott for $70 for sodding and grading on the Piercestreet school house not was allowed, An order was_drawn_for $100 to apply on the account with J. A. Murphy. “ho biil of R. L. Williams of $100.40 for ex- tras in curbing on the Hill school property was rejected. The report of J. C. Bixby, state inspector, in regard to the heating apparatus in the Hill and Bloomer schools was read. In it he stated that the eutire heatiug apparatus, with the exception of the boilers, was in very bad shape, and trouble might be expected at, any time. ' Ho estimated the cost of the re- pairs mnecessary to put it in good shape, the whole apparatus, excepting the boilers, being replaced by new, at $1,934 for the Hill, and $2,275 for the Bloomer. It was decided’ to lay the reporton the tuble until the nther memoers of the board should be present, Shubert read a report from Sprague & Co. with reference to the heating appuratus in the Third and Pierco street buildings, saying they were siightly out of repair. This was also laid over until another meeting. A pelition was read from property owners between Broadway aud the Union Pacific dump and between Thirty-third street and the river, asking thata building be either erected or leased for school purposes, in order that an ungraded school might be kept there. The petition was referred to the weachers’ committee to report next meeting, “The commissioner on buildings and grounds was instructed to see the trustees of the Twenty-niuth street Baptist mission and find out whether or not the building can be se- cured for school purposes during the coming yeur. “The fdllowing report was read by Superin- tendent Sawy Totul envoilment for the past year, i totul enroliment for the month of June, boys, 1,210: girls, 1,403; average daily attendance, 2,257 average per cent of attendance, .93, Drs, Stewart and Patty, veterinary sur- geons; 45 Fourth street, Council Bluifs, Ta, —— Try Duguette & Co.'s pomona fruit juice tablets.

Tho Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail- road company commenced a suit yesterday in district court to stop the grading work which it is claimed R. C. Berger and Mike Lawless are doing on Seventh street between Tywelf'h and Fourteenth avenues, The tracks belong- iug to the company are about four feet below grade, and several months ago an ordinanco was passed ordering them to bo graded. The Milwaukeo tracks in tho same vicinity were ordered to grade at the same time, and the work is now being done. The Rock Island, however, proposes to fight the grading busi- ness to the bitter end. In the petition it is allegod that the work of grading is beinw prosccuted by permission of the city of Council Bluffs, that the right of way was grauted the over Rid- | dle’s subdivision, and that the ne any right of way granted for a streot over the compang’s tracks at that point. It is also ailogod that if the work is completed as it 18 now being carried out the plaintift will tave all means-of access to the transfer cut- off.

REWARD A Story of Self Sacrifice and Unkept Promiscs. Away down in the Vermont hills in the town of Brattleboro is a faded little woman who looks today upon the world with eyes in which there is a light quite new and strange to them. After long seeking she has found justice and a re- ward for services well and faithfully per- formed. Like many another story, says the Chicago Herald, this one is traced from the end back ward, but when straightencd out and arranged in tellable form it is something liko th When Chicago was ver: 1858—there came here named Elijah S. Alexander, from Brattleboro. Vt., where he left a father and mother and a sister in her teens. Blijah prospered in Chicngo and accumulatéd considerablo property. Meanwhile, his sister Serotia had pur- sued the study of music and had edu- cated herself as a teacher thereof. After several years she went to Boston and establishea herself there as a music teacher. She was talented, young, beautiful, and life in tho metropolis emed much faiver than in her poor paternal home, She found a fruitful field in her profession and wassoon earn- ing between $1,000 and $1,500 a year. Just as she found herself afloat on prosperity’s sea a telegram from home called her to the bedside of her mother, who was thought to be dying. Llijah was also called from Chicago. This was The illness of Mrs. Alexander however, was not fatal, She recovered from it, but was an invalid. Before re- turning to the west Elijah had a serious talk with his sister Serotia. He told her that he would like to have her remain at home and take care of the old folks. “They would not live long, he said, but while they lived he would like to feel that they were lovingly attended. It was hard to give up all that life on her own chosen lines meant to her. She saw the two sides of the shield cleavly. young—in young man He eamo One was golden and attracted her; the other was dull lead. But she saw her duty after much inward battling with self, and with a grave face sho un- nounced to her brother that she would accept his terms. She would renounce alldher plans, her hopes, hor prospects, and would take up hor post with her purents and attend them whilo thoy lived. Then Elijah came back to Chica and went on piling up wealth, He mur- ried, too, and proceeded to live as he chose. The years went by and the old folls lived along feebly, but yet with a tenacious grasp on life. Serotia passed the mark of thirty years, but she was still beautiful and still had suitors. These she dismissed one after another, cleaving to her original pledge to remain with her pavents while they lived. Atlast she wavered. She grew very lonely. She saw her life fading and knew that she was not fullilling her des- tiny. Her.girl friends were happy wives and mothers and she was an old muid. She wavered and, being pressed to wed by a suitor who had loved ner through many years, she wrote Elijuh that she thoughit she would mavry. Elijah immediately “went down to Brattleboro and taliked her out of this selfish notion. [t was clearly her duty, he said—now more than ever-—to remain at her post. He implored her not to forsake her trust and promised-for he was now very rich—to give her $10,000 in addition (o his original pledge. Ho would fix it up legally at once, he said. She yielded. ot because of the money, but beenuse he had harped on the string of filial duty. ana this won her. She chilled her heart to love and sent her lover away. Then the old life went on and the years lengthened out und she faded and grew old. At last—in 1885—Elijah died here in Chicago and the newd” was flashed to Serotia, who was still faithfully attend-’ ing the old folks at home. When the ostate.was sett up, however, it was found that no portion of the property had been left to his pavents and no pro- vision made for paying Serotia her just claim, The spirit of Bggressiveness in the little old maid's héurt awoke ut this, She was nearly fifty 'Years old, Over twenty years of her lifg had been sac ficed to'duty and a brather’s pledge. She now meant to see if there was justice to be had for herself and her parents, She consulted eminent Chicago inw- vers, and one after another they told her that she could re * nothin She had no contract, they said; and, besides, the statutes of limitations barred her claim, At last she found one. He said he thought he could recover; that the statuto of limitations had nothing to do with the case; that the fund was like a —e Don't Be Deccived, esp your health may If any one offers you Johunn Hof's Malt Extract and “Johann Hoff's" signature is not on the ne:k of the bottle, do not tuke it under any circumstances ially when be ut seake.

He took the case into court in 1887, In 1888 before Judge Clifford he obtained a verdict for 330,000, The estate fought it and took on appeal. The appellate court affirmed the {m‘gmon(. It was then taken to the supreme court and after a year it was there affirmed. Then a petition fora rehearing was filed and after due t me refused. Thus was the iast obstacle overcome and the other day the probate court ordered the payment of the claim, On the 8th inst. Edwin Walker, ad- ministrator of the estate of Elijah S, Alexander, wrote a check for $30,533 and turned it over to Attorney Ash- craft, who deposited it in a bank and wived his client that her claim had been paid. And this is why there isanew and strange light in the eyes of Serotia Al- exander today. She “may look back on the past and see in it only self-sacrifice and disappointment for hersolf, but she may look to the future for comfort for her pavents and herself with the reflec- tion thau she fought a valiant fight and won, i RAPACITY OF LEGAL SHARKS Relief from it Furnished by The Bee Through Its Claim Burea Thousands of people in the territory reach ed by Tur Ber have elaims of some kind against the national government, claims for pensions, Indian depredations, land or min- ing, patent or postal claims. 1t will bo gratifying news to these appli- cants to know that Tie Ber, ever alive to the needs and wants of its patrons, has per- fected arrangements by whicn their claims can be presented, through Tig Bir, to the vroper authorities at Washington assured a speedy and just adjustment with but a nomi- nal cost to the applicant.

The object of Mr. Hoarst in this undertaking is clearly set forth in the prospectus publishedin T Bee, When the announcement of this new de- parture was made negotiations were at onco entered into between Tiu Bee and the pro- prietor of the Examiner to join hands and mutually share in the enterprise. Those ar- rangements have now been perfected and agreements entered into by which TieBre be comes a co-worker of the Examiuer in tho tervitory where Tire: Bex enjoys so extensive a subseription patronage. Under this arrangement all applications for claims, either for pensions, lnlian depred tions, land or mining claims, ) postal claims in the states of lowa, Kunsas, South Dakotu and Nebraska, will b takon in hand by Tur Bee Bureau of Claims in Omaha and through it forwarded to headquurters at Washington where the Examiner bureau will prosccute them to a final and speedy con- clusion and particularly to subseribers to Tug WeekLy Beg, the services of this new Lureau which, we have no doubt, will prove of great advantago to them, both in prose cuting new claims to a successfal issuo and inexpoditing all claims entrusted to Tus B bureat Noservi e will be undertaken for any person who @8 notan cetual subseriber of The Bee, The Terms. The terms under which claims will be prosecuted will depend entirely upon the amount of service rendered in each case. Wo can safely assure all patrous of the buranu that the charges will bo very much lower than rates charged by the regular claims lawy and claims agents at W ashington Itgo without saying that the Kxaminer and Tue Bee are in position conjoiitly to ex- pedite business and do service -at more lib- eral rates than any other medium for the prosecution of claims. In the matter of fees and charges Tue Ber desives only to clear expenses. The buroau is intended for therelief of the people from the rapacity of legalsharks. In many cases feos allowed “attorneys are irrevocably fixed by law, and 1 such the question is decided. In other claims such a charge will bo made as scems to cover the actual expenses involved in collection Wo make no effort to solicit your patronage, as does the ordinary agent who sceks your elaim for a financia considerution. Such is not our pur- pose. We offer to one und all the services of awell equipped bureau, where a claim of any nature can be sent, or information in regard thereto be obtaived. If your claim is worth less or illegitimate you will bo so notifind without fear or favor. If the claim is gon- uine it will receive prompt attention and oficient prosecution. If unsuccessful, uo charge will be made; providod, howevor, that claimants must_defray their own ox penses in the preparation of aftidavits, depo- sitions, und other evidence outside of Wash- ington, We will furnish the necessary logal papers and bear the Washington expenses only in unsucecessful claims. When claims are allowed, a reasonable fee will be charged to cover uctual cost. All letters will be promptly answered and all information concerning form of applica- tions for claims, terms, ate., will be given with as little delay as practicable. No letter will be answered unless the sender euclo: requisite stamps for reply. No information concerning any particular clmm will bo im- parted until ‘the applicant has become a member of The Bee Ciaims Bureau associa tion.
