Fire.

About eleven o'clock Wednesday
morning the building owned by DR..
Hendricks, south side of the public
square, was discovered to be on fire in
the roof. The "bucket brigade" was
called out and by hard work the fire
was soon under control. The damage
was slight.
The building was occupied by c. A..
Steele, jeweler, and DR.. Hendrick' of
flee. The fire is supposed to have
caught from the flue.
Had this fire occurred at night or had
lit not been discovered in time, the
whole block from Hartman & Cas-
mire's building west must have burnt.
It might have been the most serious
conflagration that has ever visited
lola. Again, we say, examine your

for the prompt aid of the citizens in
Saving his building.

The selection of Chicago as the place
of meeting for the next National Re
publican convention will give immense
satisfaction to the west.

The Burlington Has0ksye has very ex-
cellent article on the weekly press of
Iowa, which is quite applicable to the
weekly press of Missouri and Kansas,
and which We fully endorse. The
HawEeys urges n on the people of each
community the necessity of giving their
local paper the most cordial support.
The local paper is what gives strange Z.
their knowledge of the character of the
people of the county where the paper
is published, and in proportion to the
support given will the journal be con-
Quoted. The town that is not able, or
which refuses to support its local paper,
lacks the enterprise that will bring pros
perity in the country and deserves to
sink into decay. But the town that has
live, fearless and energetic newspaper,
sends the intelligence all over the land,
and the people know that such towns are
thriving and prosperous. Tits, of course
the proper thing to subscribe for at least
one of the large city dailies, but the duty
of the citizen is to support his local jour
nal for the sake disappearing home indus
tries If for noother, but the returns he
will receive will far out measure all that ii
will cost him. Reading begets reading.
The habit of reading builds up love fol
literature, . thirst Tor news, a desire to
extend the range of daily thought. Fol-
that purpose every citizen needs ais home
paper for the home news and one or more
periodicals. for himself and family. The
more the home papers are strengthened
and built up and the communities sre
composed of reading people, the grestei
viii be the progress of periodical litera
ture and al legitimate publishing inter
ests will prosper accordingly. Take your
