More Noise Than Fire.

On Wednesday night of last week a;
about hAlf-past IL O'Clock, the alarm
of fire was sounded by the bell on
the engine house, and at the same
time bright glow in the direction of
the Chicago Lumber yard induced the
belief that the flames proceeded from
that place The high wind which pre-
vailed caused many people to fear a
general spread of the destructive ele-
ment, and large numbers of citizens
who turned out of their beds were great
ly relieved to learn that the fire was
caused by spark from railroad loco
motive, which igniled the grass in and
and about Humboldt park, and that the
flames had been extinguished after a
vigorous fight on the part of those
who arrived first on the
grounds. One of the hose
carts was run out but reached the scene
of the coniiagration too late to be Of any
service. 1t is extremely fortunate that
the flames did not reach the lumber
yard, as il would have been next to i'm
possible with the gale that was blowing
20 have ARRESTED the fire had it succeed
ed in gaining any headway.

a Freight Car 1sobber Captured

Commonwealth Some time in Oeto-
Der last clothing firm in New York
city shipped bill of goods to Messrs.
Illfeld 81 Co., at Santa Fe, and when the
boxes were received the coDsignees re-
ported shortage Of $3.50. The matter
was traced up and the goods found to have
been in good condition, and apparently
all right, when they came into the hands
of the A. T. s. s. F. r. r. company. The
loss was thereupon reported to General
Freight Agent Goddard, and a demand
for their value made upon the company
Tracers were sent out, and the agents
along the line ordered to try 10 find the
goods and apprehend the thief. At last
man living in Chase county was sus-
picioned and at the request of the agent
at Peabody, John Counagher, alias
Frank Davis, was arrested. He was
placed in the jail at Cottonwood, which
is very unsafe affair, and managed to
jump from the second story of the build
ing and make good his escape. He
made his way to Las tanimas, where he
was re-arrestcd and again made Gesper-
ate attempt to get free. When the sher-
if brought his supper to HIM, he
managed to get the sheriff in the cell
and lock the door The sheriff fired two
or three shots at Davis, but missed him,
and Davis, going into the sheriff's room,
procured revolver and went back to
the jail and tried to shoot him. The re-
yolver proved to be not loaded, how
ever, and no harm was done, and before
he could get away the deputy sheriff ar
rived and ordering him to throw mp
his hands, secured him. Davis was
heavily ironed, when taken to Cotton
wood Falls for examination, having on
handouts and leg-irons and steel ring
about his neck, to which was attached a
chain. He was taken before the justice
on Wednesday afternoon, when the case
was continued until December 9th.
The goods were found at Walton,
where they had been shipped by ex-
press. and uDon them tag, which Dus-
tan, who was sent TO look after the af-
fair,took TO Kansas City, and learned,
after showing it TO a travelling man, that
they belonged to the firm who had lost
the goods. Dustan went tn Cottonwood
night before last and returned with the
goods yesterday afternoon.

The popularity of the local adVertis-
ing department of the DAILY NEWS is
due, in large measure we believe, to the
fact, that in addition to thorough cir
culation, the prices charged are very
low and uniformly one Price to all
three cents a line. 1t is much more sat
isfactory to us as we'll as TO the advertis,
er 10 have rate SO cheap aud popular
that every merchant can use the
columns of THE NEWS quite
freely, than it would be TO have onc-hali
or one-third the number of lines at five
or ten cents line.
In the WEEKLY News the rate for 10
calls is uniformly ten cents; for wants
and business notices in the five cent col
umn, five cents line. 1t is useless Il
ask US to vary from these rates, as W.
believe in treating everybody alike aud
making no special charges.

Topeka Capital: Not quite year ago
tramp named Montgomery shot Harry
Morgan, a conductor on the Santa Fe
road, from which wound Morgan died
in the course of a few weeks. Mont
gomery was riding without paying his
fare, so Morgan put him off. The
former thereupon drew his pistol and
deliberately shot the conductor. The
other day, at Great Bend, the wise jury
which sat on the case solemnly declared
that Montgomery had committed no
crime and that Morgan's death was due
to careless medical treatment. This
jury did not say that had Morgan not
received the wound the doctors would
have killed him. Such yerdIcts as this
are farce, a travcsty on justice, and
open the way to countless murders, af,
fording every possible opportunity for
tue assassin to escape.
