Tgis model was such a fav- orite that a number of the dealers requested the manufacture of a few more.

SEVERAL BLOCKS MENACED | Fire of unknown origin com- pletely destroyed the buildings oc-| cupied by the State Furniture com- pany, the Huntington Bowling Al- at 1313-15-17-19 Harney street, early this morning. Over three hours were | spent by the fire department in gain- ing control of the flames. The loss was_estimated at $40,000, $5,000 on the buildings and $35,000 on contents. Shortly after ~midnight Night Watchman Carl Sapington of the Krug theater noticed smoke in the rear of: the State-Furniture company warehouse on the second floor of the buildings at the above number. The rear of the building was already in flames. Sapington's alarm brought scene. Five steamers responded to a second alarm. Over 100 head of horses were stabled in the barn on the lower floor of the building and it was only through the untiring efforts of the firemen and barn employes that they were taken from the stable safely. Several carloads of hay, recently placed in the loft, were destroyed. Benjamin Brodkey, president of the State Furniture company, Thirteenth and Dodge streets, in speaking of the |- firm’s losses said: “We had just replenished our stock. I think there was about $15,000 worth of furniture in the warehouse. We have about $10,000 insurance on the place.” ‘A. M. Huntington, proprietor of the bowling Alleys on the lower floor of the building, estimated his damage at $10,000, partly covered by insurance. L. A. Meeker, manager of the livery | barn, thought damage to the barn will reach $10,000. “I can give no ause for the fire as | yet,” stated Chief Deneen. Earl Carl, 2734 North Thirteenth street, who was sitting in a restaurant near the scene of the fire, reported that he heard three explosion about the time the fire broke out, though the owners of the various business | places state they knew no com- bustible materials in any of their places.

The heavy rain extended east about as far as West Point, and as far west as Long Pine, and then to the north and over most of the Black Hills di- vision of the road. according to the Northwestern’s report. The precipi- tation was from one to three inches. Along the Burlington there was rain along the northern lines and up through the sandhills, the precipita- tion being about the same as along the Northwestern. While some of the smaller streams are out of their banks and the low lands flooded in places, no damage was reported. The rain over most of the area visited started to fall Monday after- noon and continued most of the night.

BLES AND BAKERS SEE DEN TERRORS Visitors to Omaha Are Given Taste of the Ak-Sar-Ben Initiation, |SPEECHES CUT TO THE LIMIT Four hundred bakers of bread and pies, and a half thousand Elks, who stampeded into Omaha from all over the state yesterday, were entertained at Ak-Sar-Ben Den last night They saw Coronade “throw the bull,” and heard him, too, for that matter. “Coronado and the Bull” | pleased the visitors immensely, as was expressed in the two-minute talks that followed by Adam Breede of Hastings, J. H. Kuhns of North Platte, and T. Doremus of Wilming- ton, Del. of these speakers, for when Chair- man Jay Burns announced that the speeches must be cut to two minutes, ! these fellows cut them to a minute and eight seconds, “Ah, those are speeches after my own heart,” sighed many of the Oma- ha fellows, who in bygone years have listened to supereiongated speeches from one James Dahlman, one Charles Lobeck, one Dave Mercer, and others, when clection was near and hot sand- wiches seemed so near and yet miles away. Visitors Are Lively. These Elks and bakers constituted the liveliest and friskiest humanity the Den crew has attempted to handle this year. Twenty Elks, just when the crew had them properly corralled and was putting the branding irons on them, broke through the fences, and stampeded back into the crowd, leap- ing clear of every obstacle, and hurtling over the heads of some of their would-be captors. Some of them were dragged back to the fence by sheer physical force, and one of them came back with Dan Whitney locking the strangle hold about his neck.
