communication is seriously or totally inter
rupted. Insurance agents report that the
fires are most disastrous. Already there
are thirty cases of farmers having their
entire crops and buildings burned. An old
sick man was carried out of a burning
house a considerable distance and placed
in charge of two little girls. Shortly after
the man was found dead, and the children
are missing 1t is believed that they per
ished.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 1.-The Repu6Eican's
special says that dnring a heavy storm last

ashes. Eighty persons in the building, es-
capped without injury. The loss is about
$65, 900; insurance trifiing.
