The two Shoemaker boys, who were ar- rested with a boy named Davis for assault- ing Burt Clark, were discharged in police court yesterday morning. According to the story told by the Shoemaker boys the four met on the street and the Shoemakers de- manded that Clark take back something h had said about them and Davis. He agreed to take it back so far as they were con- srned, but refused to take it back as to Davis. This sort of a compromise did not suit them and they all struck out after Clark and chased him up to the police station, where he stayed all night. They went to police court for two mornings to stand trial, but Clark did not show up either time, and Judge McGee finally discharged all three yesterday morning. Mrs. H. B. Parkinson had a hearing on the charge of committing an assault and battery on Dwight Corlies, the 14-year-old son of a neighbor. All the parties live on Benton street.

The good story that was published to the world as an illustration of the fearful heat here a week ago last Thursday, to the ef- fect that the block paving in front of the Grand hotel caught fire from the sun's rays, was battered up a little, though mot entirely knocked out, by the inconsiderate action of the elements yesterday. Although the tem- perature was very comfortable ail day long, the paving caught fire in two places in front of the hotel instead of only ome. A little investigation s! owed that the ccnvex windows of plate glass in front of the hotel were re- flecting the sun’s rays on the pavement in such a way as to act like a large sun glass and the pavement lay smoldering away until it finally got hot enough to break into flames. As a remedy for the block paving nuisance it has been suggested that the ad- jacent property owners get their paving in- sured against fire and then put circular windows in their houses, Battle Flag y At Des Moines August 10.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Aug. 3.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—The most destructive conflagration in the history of Marion broke out about 4 o'clock this morning in the gas plant in the center of a block of business houses on the north side of the park, and before the flames were gotten under control the entire block had been swept out of ex- istence, entailing a loss of $120,000. The Cedar Rapids fire department was asked for ald and sent two carts and twenty-five fire- men, but before they could arrive almost the entire block was in ruins. The water pres- sure was insufficient when the fire first broke out, or it might have been controlled before much damage had been done. Seeing the block was doomed, the people set to work to save the goods, and in some in- stances nearly entire stocks were carried to places of safety.

DES MOINES, Aug. 3.—(Speclal Telegram to The Bee)—The publication of forty or fifty private telegrams that passed between Henry Stivers, Ed Hunter, Judge Kinne, Charley Fullen, W. W. Wilmer and Con gressman Hayes, relative to the postoffice fight in this city, has created an almost riotous feeling on the part of the eminent democrats concerned, and the ranks of the local democracy are all torn up with angry diesensions, commotions and criminations. There is one question which they all unite in asking, and that is: “How did Eiboeck et possession of the telegrams?” They do not question the statements contained in them, but concentrate all their encrgies in a desperate effort to learn from what source Colonel Eiboeck obtained the tell tale mes- sages. As a preliminary 'step, Hunter and Stivers have taken the warpath after scalps and have opened hostilities by accusing Man- ager Yearnshaw or some of the operators employed in the Western, Union office of hav- ing betrayed confidence and given their tele- graphic correspondenge to the enemy. In the persistent accusations, the indignation of Manager Yearnshaw has been aroused, and he has demanded an investigation and callod upon the gentlemen to prove their charges or exonerate him on pain of being made respondents in a suit for fibel. It Is under- stood that Yearnshaw has called upon Su- perintendent Tubbs of the Western Unica to come to Des Moines and make a personal investigation of himselt and every employe connected with the office.

BRUNSWICK, Neb., Aug. 1.—(Special to The Bee)—This country was visited by & | heavy rain yesterday. It was followed by hail, but not heavy enough to damage crops. Corn in the -morthern part of Antelope county looks well and will go from thirty- five to forty bushels to the acre. The late rains have been a blessing to corn in this section, and with an occasional local shower northern Antelope county will have as good a crop as it has had for years. The south- ern part of the county, however, is almost past redemption and corn stalks are being cut for fodder. R e A Cure for Chronle Diarrhoen. I had been troubled with chronic dlar- rhoea for over a year when I received a pall botle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used and it gave me great relief. I then procured a 50-cent bottle and took about two-thirds of it, and was cured. I have taken some twice since when I had a loosness come on and it stopped it at once. I nope it will help others as it helped me. I feel very thankful to Mr. Stearns, the druggist, for telling me of this remedy and shall be glad to have this letter published. S. C.

The Cotterell Grain company of Omaha began a sult in Justice Biles' court yester- day against the Farmers Co-operative asso- clation of North Bend. The game of ball between the Hastings and home Young Men's Christian association clubs yesterday was rather soft. The home boys were disappointed at the last moment by the nonappearance of their battery, Kim- mel and Palmer, and after selecting the best from their ranks went in with an en- tirely inexperienced battery and were de- feated by a score of 27 to 5. Marquette and Tralll of Omaha will constitute the battery for today and a much better game Is ex- pected.
