The First Warming.

Monday morning q fire was no.
ticed few miles northwest of here,
and supposed to have been set by
the engine on the Norfolk branch.
Mrs. Brady had some twenty tons
or more of hay burned up, besides
scorching a mower and horse rake.
Mr.. Warner had q nice row Of
trees roasted.
1t is reported to US that q hand
car full of men passed along during
the fire, and never noticed the exer-
tions being made to put it out.
1t would have crossed the track
at Pat. Murrsy's, st q culvert, but
for some blowing that Pat. had done.
This was simply lucky, as the
probability is that all the hay south
of Phil. Gains place would have
been burned, and some one might
have g very considerable bill to pay.
One of Mr.. Thos. Kesting's daugh-
ters saw the fire 8 little after the
last train passed. Had the wind
shifted in the early stages of the
fire, nothing could have saved Ell
ther Murrsy's barns and building or
Mrs. Brsdy's house. Shortly after
the fire was hemmed in, the wind
changed to the northwest, and blew
a moderate gale.

Hospital Fair.

The Sisters of Charity purpose
giving fair at the Opera House,
this city, December, lst, ID and 3d.
There will be plenty to eat, and
loads Of fun and music.
The fair is given TO obtain money
to help pay debts owing for the
hospital, which, we are informed,
yet amount to about four thousand
dollars.
When it 10 remembered that the
hospital is open alike to those of any
sect and no sect, without question,
snd that the poor who are unable to
pay, are cared for, it will not be
strange if hundreds OF dollars are
contributed to this fund. Certainly
there can be no more worthy object,
and the public in general should see
that the Sisters Fair is well pat
ronized.

Work has began on the new round
house for the Union Pacific at this
place. 1t is located between the
depot and Mr.. Heintz's.
1t is to be a solid, very substantial
and rather costly structure. 1t is to
be what is known as q four-stall
round house. This will describe its
size with sufficient definiteness to
those who know what a round
house is.
The foundation will be of stone,
and the superstructure of brick, with
iron front, that is, iron pillars, and
iron keystones,
It's estimated that the entire cost
of the building and appurtenances
complete will not be less than sl0,-
600, which makes il q considerable
improvement to the city.
Messrs. Earle, Miller 4 Patterson
have the contract, and it is expected
that the round house will be finished
within four weeks.

musical entertainment recently
given at Norfolk by the Maunerchor
singing society OF this city, of which
all our citizens are very proud :
I'VE had the pleasure last week of
hearing the Columbus Msnnerchor
club st Norfolk. They are without
doubt the most correct vocalists in
the state. Two of the yoices-that
of Mr.. Pohl and that of Frank
Cores are simply superb; Gus.
Schroeder as q soloist on the cornet
and violin, is charming. The
whole performance was perfectly
splendid. We hope ere long to have
them give q performance at Oak,
dale"
