Two bundred and fifty students, with fifteen in- structors, were sleeping in the dormitory. All were aroused and escaped without in- Jury, but several had barely time to get out and many lost their clothing and books. The north wing of the buliding was com- pletely burned and the walls had to be pulled down, while the south wing and front were 8o badly injured with water and heat that the building is worthless Bocne firemen came (o lend assistance and got the fire out at 7 o'clock The building was dedicated thirty-two years ago and was for many years the only building of the college.

The bullding cost about $200,000, but was not werth that now, as it was old and would scon bave had to be replaced by a larger and better building. The state carried no lnsurance. About thirty of the students lost books and clothing and the girls in their dorm- ftory held a meeting and contributed $50 for a fund to help the unfortunate ones, | Books were ordered by telegraph and the classes will go on next week as usual. A mueting of the faculty décided that there should be no change and that the college year, which ends in ten days, will be fin- ished. The students held a mass meeting | and heartily seconded this. Committees were appointed to secure temporary quar- ters in Ames and nearby places and arrange for class rooms, This evenlng the freshmen sophomore banquet was held in the stock-judging pavilion and an oratorical contest in another ball, as It nothing had happened. The chapel services will be held Bunday In the stock-judging pavilion | Six class rocms were destroyed in the old building. he botanical collection, valued at $11,000, was on the first floor, but was all taken out, with the valuable instruments, except the duplicate speci- mens, worth about $1,000.

The trustees will meet next week to determine what shall be done, but after commencement, December 20, there ‘will be no school until In February. The trustees will recommend an entire new bullding for college purposes and an aban- donment of the dormitory plan, w0 Reports m the Siek.

From January 1 up to December 1, & period of eleven months, 68,336 horses wore received at this market as compared with 33,083 for the corresponding perfod in 1800 The great bulk of these receipts have come from the western ranges Prior to this year the majority of horses raised on the ranges were shipped to older live stock markets, but the good prices paid here and the demand has induced shippers to stop here.

While on this subject yes- terday a well known horseman sald: “South Omaha ranks high as a market for range horses, although some of the older mar- kets may handle a good many more native horses. It has been demonstrated pretty thoroughly that these unbroken rango horses sell most freely to the farmers of the west. Eastern farmers do not take kirdly to unbroken range horses, but west erners seem to prefer them. Plenty of horses still remain on the range and I look for a good business here all winter." of of of in question of securing a few enterprising | Alleged Gamblers' Row.

Holland, local manager of the tele- phone company, sald that the trouble on the grounded circults was caused by the high voltage carried by the Thomson- Houston Electric Light company. He as- serted that the wires of the light com- pany carry 7,000 volts and that the Induc- tlon Is the cause of the trouble on the lines. Mr. Holland sald that in some in- stances it is practically impossible to use grounded-circult telephones at night.

In Saturday's Bee mentlon was made of the fact that the banks and warrant brokers had turned down the claims of the firemen and policemen, It was also stated that the expenses of the fire department averaged $650 & month. This was an error, as the total Is considerably larger. Nine men are employed at $60 per month and one at $75 a month, which makes the monthly payroll $615. To this must be added $150 a month | for horse feed, repairs, coal, etc., making a total monthly expenditure of $i65.
