Two streams of water were kept playing on the pile of burning paper on the sidewalk and one line was run up the ladder at the wost side of the building and onto the third floor, where it played on the charred | ruins of the building and the great mass of smouldering paper. The Council Bluffs cars were laid out for a long time because Douglas street from Eleventh to Tenth was one sheet of ice fully an inch thick. An attempt was made about 1 o'clock to get these cars throngh, but they courd not get beyond Tenth street on account of the ice.

The building is a four-story pressed brick structure and ont, with twenty-five foet frontage on Teuth street and 132 feet on Douglas str It was erccted in 1884 at a cost of 0,000, and is owned by the Repub. lican Printing of which Cadet ylor and the Rounds' estate are the chicf owners. The building was insured for but a small amount, probably not to exceed $6,000. Not long ago 10,000 expired and had not been renewed Mr. Taylor was brought to the scene of d struction by Fire Reporter Beard A great deal has been said regarding the building being unsafe, and a general under- standing has prevailed that the structure had been ofticially condemned at one time. This Mr Taylor denics, and says that a cen- ter wall had been put in which had strength- ened the outer walls and there was no dan ger of a collapse of the structury The heaviest los will be the Omaha Printing company, the concern which oceu- pied the whole building. This company was organized about two years ago the Republican Printing company cers are: A Comstock, ~ presidont F. B. Johnson, secretary and treas. urer, and Ray Nye, vice president. Mr. Com- stock values the plant and stock on hand at £5,000. They had insurance amounting to nearly $45,000. The company did a general prlm.fnu business and had the finest and most complete cstablishment in Omaha, On the first floor was locoted tho ofice of the company and the stationery aepartment, on the second, the composing room, on the third the bind- ery and on the fourth the varnish room, In the basement was located the press and boiler room. The destruction is about com- plete and the presses in the basement are about the only articles that will be of any any value whatever, the type and paper ck on hand being either destroyed by the fire or ruined by water. Mr. Comstock said the company would probably resume business as soon as possible after the loss had been adjusted.
