Last Monday morning Uncle Bill
ly Webster was in the city, and fav-
ored this Office with a very pleasant
visit. In a conversation relative to
the fire and particularly the loss he
sustains, he said the fire was q Sc
we're blow to him and his family,
but he does not mean to give up.
His experiences while trying to save
some of his household goods came
nearly ending his life. While in the
house gathering up a few movable
articles, the roof fell in, filing the
lower rooms with heat and smoke,
which in asecond became so oppres-
sive that Mr.. Webster fell exhausted
on the floor. By rare presence Of
mind he crawled to the door, which
he found baricaded with a large
milk-safe his sons had left when
overtaken by the heat and smoke.
Over this he crawled and fell on the
ground in an insensible condition.
He says he thought he was at the
end of his corn-row. Though his
loss is severe, we are glad that is no
worse. Uncle Billy is widely known
and universally respected, and all
will sympathize with him in his re-
cent misfortune.

Gard Of Thanks.

EDS. CoURIER.-Please allow US
space in your paper to express our
thanks to the many friends who
gave us their sympathy and assis-
lance 80 cheerfully during our pro-
tracted sickness last fall, and of late,
and in the burrying of our dear and
beloved daughter. We wish to
thank each and all who contributed
the liberal sum Of t2O.25 received of
Rev. G. w. Freeman, to defray ex-
penses for nursing and other needed
help. May all be spared our sad ex-
perience, and find the fulfllment OF
the promise. at is more blessed to
give than to receive" is our prayer.

fLsEFA SHsmsl lEaE4Fn4t.f
LENNox, D.. 7. April Ia, 80.
Eds. CouRrER.-One Of the most
sweeping prairie fires that ever Wis
tied this part Of the county passed
over here last Friday, doing terrible
damage. The wind was blowing .
fearful gale from the northwest, and
the flames devoured nearly every
thing in their path. The first to en-
counter the flames in this township
was Lars Larson. He had every
thing fixed in good style, q nice
frame house and good stables, and
now has everything cleaned out
not . single thing saved.
Next in line Of the flames was
VIM. Hamilton, who lost stable, har-
ness, seven hogs, two calves, chick
ems and hay. Wash Law lost stable
and hay and grain, hogs and chick
emf. Estes lost stable, hay, grain,
one .yearling, two hogs and a cali.
N. r. Edwards had . fine grove Of
timber ruined, and q span Of horses.
They were running in trying to save
his horse and got caught in . wire
fence, and were badly burnt. Uncle
Nat himself was badly burned.
Jesse Akin lost some hay. VIM.
Akin's timber skirting the river was
all burnt through completely ruin
ing all the young timber.
The heaviest Losses fall upon "Un-
Gle Billy" Webster. He lost his
house, all Of its contents and stable
and hay. HI and his lady being
quite aged are not able to battle
with obstacles like as if they were
young. Uncle Billy is full Of pluck
though and don't believe in crying
over split milk. He has q large
family Of children that have not q
change of clothes. By the help of
the neighbors he will have a house
in a few days that will partly COM
pensate him for his loss, but it is
not likely that he will live to see the
day when he will regain all he has
lost.
Chas. Mitchell, postmaster at
Lennox, was badly burned while
trying to save his property.
There are more losses that space
will not permit here to mention,
and there may heavier losers that
/ have not heard OF. T.

CAPITAL NOTES..
Yankton Viewed BY m oat.
slider.

A deep gloom spread over the city
last Saturday upon the receipt Of in
telligence Of the death Of Gov. How
ard. A mere mention of the sad
event was sufficient to bring tears to
the eyes Of some Of the profoundest
citizens and warm friends o the late
governor. Basing my statement on
the authority of some of his most
intimate official associates, / can tru-
ly say that not Dakota only, but the
nation has lost . pure and distin-
guished officer, and q model christ
ian citizen. And there are also
so several enterprises here which
stand as monuments to the memory
Of his generous and liberal deeds. /
will mention but one at this time.
The Insane Asylum. Here I may
remark that from personal knowl-
edge / can say this Institution is in
a very admirable condition. The
head Of the medical faculty is
doubtless the right man in the right
place.
From = business standpoint the
average Yanktonian is in about the
position that tradition places the
bear on the 14th Of February-out
upon a limb looking towards the ri
sing sun for his shadow, which ifhe
can discover he goes back for six
weeks. The Yanks are upon the
pinnacles looking for the Eden r. r.
branch. But alas ! they see nothing
but their shadows, consequently they
will have to sleep not six weeks only
but perhaps six years. But Yank-
ton suffers most from the same con-
tagion that many other western
towns are afflicted with. Instead OF
investing their money and bonds in
some home industries which would
soon induce the railroads to seek az
ter them, they run after the roads
and give them about all the portable
value they have and the railroads
invest it in towns Of their own
wherever it is most convenient to
themselves. Yankton is in spite of
all discouragements q fine flourish
ing city. All that is necessary to
insure its permanent future prosper
ity is for its citizens to hold still and
not get scared to death by railroad
companies. BY THE WAY.

WE learn that men in the east,
with considerable means, have writ
ten to know the price Of the lands
lying between this city and Rich
land. They want to engage largely
in stock raising, and have wisely
concluded that better lands for the
purpose cannot be found anywhere
in the west. 1t is a fact that better
grassland cannot be obtained, and
q more promising field for a man
to coin money out of stock cannot
be chosen. This fact is being real
lied by those DESTROYS Of coming
west for that purpose. We should
like to e the large area of low-land
covered with herds of cattle. That
in itself is wealth. Our people can
do no better than to encourage all
who want to locate and bring wealth
to our city.

The report Of . successful Meeslng 81
UnIon County Teacher.

The first session was opened on
Monday evening. An enrolment
of twenty-seven members was made.

Prof. Wernli, of LeMars who has
been engaged to conduct this insti-
tute were present, and said many
valuable things in regard to common

gal school systems Of the country
