FIRE.-About eleven o'clock last
Thursday evening large volumes of
smoke was discovered issuing from the
roof of the Durkee Block and in an in
credible short space Of time the entire
upper portion of the building was en-
veloped in one mass of lurid flames.
The alarm was promptly given but
owing to some mismanagementi it was
considerable time before stream could
be directed upon the burning mass.
The department did good work how
ever, and by dint of much arduous
labor succeeded in combining the fire to
the third story, and finally in subduing
it, after three hours of unremitting
toll. But little air was stirring at the
time, a circumstance which greatly as
sisted the fremen. The adjoining build
ings suffered no damage but their oc-
cupants were decidedly scared and
made vigorous efforts to remove their
worldly possessions to place of safety.
The Durkee Block is one of the oldest
buildings in town and was at one time
one Of the finest buildings in Kenosha,
but for many years it has been going
to decay, no repairs have been made
upon it, and the third story has for
years been aresort for all kinds of bad
characters. The fire is supposed to
have originated from the careless
of matches by some boys who
were clambering over it to shook into
the show" Mr.. Robinson continues
his business at his store No. 88 Main
street, English Bros. go into the Kim
ball Block and Paul Sauber has made
arrangements to occupy G. A. Dewey's
old stand. At the time of writing the
owners are undecided whether to build
or repair.

will not be in the face OF the popular opin-

She had opposed Mohammedanism IN tne
