SCORCHED PAUL.
A Furious Fire at st. Paul Yesterday
Made Havoc Among the Buildings
and other property.
Terrible Fire At St. Paul.
. BY Western A associated Press.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 6.-The most destruc-
tive fire that has visited st. Paul since
the capitol burned, broke out this morn
ing in Nicols s. Deans wholesale hard
ware establishment, corner of Third and
Sibley streets. About half past ten o'clock
flames were discovered issuing from the
flue in the shipping room and almost i'm
mediately appeared in the ceiling and
floor Of the second story. An alarm was
at once turned in, but the wires failed to
work, engine No. 2 arriving on the spot
fully ten minutes after the alarm was
sounded, though but four blocks away.
Nos. and and hook and ladder falling
to respond to the call second alarm
was turned in which brought No
s down from St. Anthony's hill.
No. and hook and ladder was
finally apprised of the fire by messenger
attriving with No. So BY this time the
entire upper floor which was stored with
wooden ware, was in flames. Everything
went wrong The thermometer register
ing only above zero everything was froz-
en-, slippery and dangerous in the extreme.
The new Hayes extension ladder became
so clogged with ice in the machinery
parts that the greatest difficulty was OBJ
served in its use. The fire was rapidly
gaining headway and all valuables had
long since been piled in the streets. BY
half past eleven the fire was under con-
troll, though still burning ferce]y. A
heavy five foot wall protected
Merrell, Safeguard s. Fawlngs wholesale
drug honse. Had the flames reached
there the whole block would undoubtedly
have peen swept away.
Losses and assurances are as follows
Ncols & Dean are the heaviest losers

writing. They carried an insurance Of 6l,-
500, 40 follows: Lancashire of England

1t has been suggested, and with consid-
erable force too, that it would be good
plan to send some of our representative
democrats down to Washington this win
ter to present the matter Of division Of
the territory to the democratic members of
Congress; and in connection with this su9-
gestlon, the names of Anton Klaus and 8.
K. McGlnnis have been suggested Is good
men to send for that position. In addi-
ton to these thu Alert would suggest ].
w. Goodrich and j. A. Atkinson. The
Alert would also suggest that Burlelgh
county join with this county in the
scheme by sending down representative
democrats from that county. Mr.. Kelle-
her informs the Alert that Stutsmsn and
Burleigh are the only two counties in
North Dakota which have democratic or
carnations in working order. The plan
We think is good one and would proba-
bly, be great advantage to the desired
division of the territory, which is the one
thing we in North Dakota want. We
cerlalnly do not want the territory in its
entirety admitted a. q state, and when
divided it Is matter of no concern to NJ
whether the southern part is admitted or
not. While We can understand why the
democratic members might object to ad-
mission we cannot see any reason for OBJ
jectlon to division and we do not believe
there is.

The American eagle will probably have
to claw the French and brin. them to

of our nation. The Moniteur Unlversale
published at Paris declares s'the Ameri-

"Frauce could ruin every American port
France might be as badly mistaken Is
when she undertook to 'sruin' old

humiliating fact, however, that our
navy is in deb.lltated condition, and
that it is in part due to peculation, but

Its Actors, Scenery and All, Coming TO
HALEY, Same as the "News.'
During the past few days fine
stage has been made in Faylor's
hall, four side boxes put in, pit
dug and boxed for the orchestra,
and other improvements completed
which have given the place really
cosy appearance. A coat or two Of
paint remains to be put on, and the
place will then be ready for amuse-
ment-seekers.
The Coliseum Theatre, of Belle
vue, is being denuded Of
it's scenery and all accessories
and these, together with the mem
bers of the troupe, will be removed
to HALEY. As the only newspaper
hitherto published in Bellevue-the
News-has already been removed to
this place, the coming of the Coli
scum troupe will leave the Bellevue
ties without either newspaper or the
atrc.

THEY ARE COMING!
THE COUNTY RECORDS ORDERED
TO HALEY.
Escorted by SherifY's Posse and the
Onicials, They will Leave Rocky Bar
Sunday and Reach HALEY Tuesday.

The Board of County Commits
si,ners have concluded to obey the
mandate Of the District Court, and
ordered the immediate removal of
the county archives and funds to
HALEY. A fast freight wagon and
six horse team left HALEY yes
terday evening, to go to
Rocky Bar after the records.
This team will probably reach
the Bar Saturday evening, and on
Sunday evening it will leave for
Haley, with the records.
A strong Sheriti7s posse, fully arm
ed with repeating rifles, revolvers
and knives, will escort the records to
Haley. All the county officials will
likewise act as an escort, and num-
Der of citizens will come along for
company. Jones's is expected to be
reached Monday morning, and at that
point a number of horsemen from
Haley will probably meet the rec
ords, and accompany them into town.

THE TOWN FLAGSTAFF.
1t will BE In Good Order Against the
Coming Of the Records.

A few days ago the hemp halyards
of the town flagstaff, in front of the
store of J. O. Swift & Co, dropped
into the hands of man who was
hauling down the flag. The rope,
swollen by the rain, had rotted and
the flagstaff needed repair. As it
would not do to have our standard
bearer unserviceable just now, when
the county records are about to be
brought here, collection was taken
up to defray the expense and the
services of an old sailor were secured
to repair the pole, and see that the
new cotton halyards were properly
put on. In day or two "Old Glory
will float from the top of the staff, as
grandly as ever.

BOISE OUT IN TIE COLD.

It seems that the managers Of the
Oregon Short Line Railway have de-
cided to leave Boise out in the cold.
The Territorial Capital is cligibly
located at the end of navigation on
the Boise, close to as fine timber as
can be found anywhere, and within
easy reaching distance Of Atlanta,
Boise Basin, and other important
points. The citizens Of Boise, fully
alive to the Importance of having
the railroad come to their town,
some time ago appointed Messrs.
Joe Huston and Hosea Eastman a
committee to proceed to Omaha toin-
terview the Railway officials and ten
der them, free Of charge, the right Of
way through private property, be-
sides sufficient ground for a depot,
round house, shops, etc. Messrs.
Huston and Eastman have Just re-
turned, and report that they have
been unsuccessful. The Boise di-
vision of the line will run through a
comparatively level country, where
the grades will not exceed 20 feet
to the mile. In order to 60 to
Boise the road would have to traverse
a region where the grades would run
as high as IS feet to the mile. This
would increase the operating expen-
SEES of that division by at least one
fourth; and if the company should
accept the advantageous PROPOSE
ton made by Boise, it would be the
loser in the long run. The road will
therefore be built where the grades
are easiest, and its nearest station to
Boise will be fifteen miles of.
In time, if the Atlanta section
shows up well in the mining way, and
extensive manufactures of furniture,
ETC., are operated in Boise, a branch
road may be run to Boise and At
lanta. But for the present Boise
will undoubtedly not enjoy railroad
communication with the outer world.

The District Court.

The summer term of the District
Court of the Second Judicial District
will begin in HALEY next Monday.
The session will last at least a month
and, a the calendar will doubtless
not be exhausted, the court may con-
tinue in session after that time. But
It IL not probable, however, as the
opening of the next term of the same
court 1t Idaho City is fixed for the
second Monday in August.
The next October) term OF the
District Court here will probably last
two months.
