Fire !.

On Saturday last about 2 O'Clock the
alarm of fire was given from the En-.
gine House, and heavy column of
smoke was seen to rise on Nebraska
Avenue. In q few minutes . goodly
number of the active citizens of the
town were present and at work assist
ing the firemen, who were promptly
on hand and at work. The building
sblsze was the property Of Mr.. Sutton
OF Boone county, on the alley north Of
Arnold's jewelry store and south of
Honahan's shoe store, and occupied
recently by James Kay and Mr.. Phin-
ney. The fire originated in the rear
apartment used by Mr.. Kay as work
room. Mr.. K. had locked up the
store about ten minutes before the
flames were noticed and had started
for the fair ground. The fire engine
was placed at the we'll near Fried
hoffs, and q strong stream Of water
kept constantly at play on and in the
burning building, while volunteer
firemen with buckets did what execu.
ton they could. The firemen worked
hard, managed admirably and soon
the flames were under control, and
the building partially saved. The
ship on Ksy's front was not burned,--
not q rope scorched. The building
was of cottonw wood. Goods were re-
moved from Arnold's store and some
one stole about $25 worth before they
were returned to their place. Mr..
Kay claims q loss of twelve to thirteen
dollsrs--partially insured.

question because occasionally there
comes along . runner from q house
away east somewhere carrying sever
al lines of goods, and also taking
orders for job printing. Often the
low-priced printing 10 used 40 . bait
to sell high-priced wares; or samples
are shown that are not duplicated
when the printed matter comes; or
(ss We have known) the 1000 cards
ordered turn out to be only half so
many; or, the order 10 given in large
quantities and NO cheaper than your

do the work more satisfactorily and at
cheaper rates shsn the foreign fellow.
