Notice About Prairie Fires.

In view OF the fact that the season is now
approaching when great danger may be antic-
ipated to crops in the field, and property OF all
kinds. from accidental fres, the cooperation
OF farmers and others along this line is earn
estly requested to prevent, as far as possible,
any such disasters.
THIS company, at great expense, is fitting
all its engines with an an improved smoke
stack for arresting sparks, and, wherever
practicable. is burning off its right OF way
blowing fire-breaks, and using other necessary
precautions TO prevent fires.
Section men are instructed TO proceed al
once TO any point where fire is seen, whether
on tho company's right Of way or on neighbor
ing farms, and use every endeavor to stop il
from spreading.
II farmers, for their part, will plow wide fire
breaks around all hay stacks, grain stacks
barns and other bullGings--also protect their
hedges and orchards by clearing away the
! light grass and other inflamm bile material
about them-their property may be considered
well insured, and they will be saved from yex'
atious losses.
This country has been favored with bounti
full crops, and is rejoicing in general prosper
ty. 1t seems especially desirable at this time
both for our own people and on account o
the effect abroad, that nothing should occu
to discourage the newcomers or defer 9th, n
from following their example.
The interests OF this company and Of thu
people along its line are so closely identified
! that il seems unnecessary to say more to in
duce hearty co-eperatian far the mutual pro
lection af property. Z. f. MORSE,
General Supt. A. L. & S. Il. Z.

From Mr.. C. ". Graham we learn some OF
the particulars of prairie Ere that occurred
Sabbath day, the 18th, southwest Of town, in
Illinois township. The fire came from the
north before a stiff breeze. Mr.. w. L. Likely
lost two hundred bushels of wheat, 400
bushels OF oats, frame stable and granary
and all OF his hay, and wagon partly burned.
His brother-in-law, Il. Watt, had $50 bushels
of wheat burned at the same time and place.
Mr.. Spencer, who lives about three miles this
side, lost his house, stable, corn and corral,
and had five cattle badly burned. He only
saved bed and his threshing machine. Mrs.
Mitchell, widow lady, lost everything she
had. consisting of wheat, corn, etc. Ar. VIII
son lost eyerythin. he mad. 1t is the same old
and same sad story. We feel that We have
done our whole duty In warning new corners
against the destructiveness of prairie fires,
still we can't help feeling sorrow for and SYM
pathy with the unfortunate. II we could
only be assured that this was the last calamity
of the kind that we would be called upon to
record this fall even then the annoying fact
OF these homes of our fellow citizens being
destroyed is painful to think Of.
