Two unknown DRINKS, one Of them red

more villainous than pestilence, were
blown into the central station last night
by Officer Marion. They will be guests at

The park committee of the council held

The alarm from box No. at sos last
night, was caused by the discovery of fire
in one-story frame stable, at No. 65 Col

occupied by J. A. Laabs as mattress fac
tory, and by the time the flames were sub
dued, Laabs was out $75 loss on the bnild-
ing and contents, for which there is no in
surance. The fire was discovered in the

which there is no explanation.

a Minneapolis establishment, was found
inside.
A party named Jarvis, which is his name
unless he wore the coat of man answer
ing to that title, was taken to the Gala
boose by Officer Pandy last night, stiff
from the effects of sour mash. He will
have the big head this morning, his hair
will curl, he will be thirsty and be other
wise afflicted to say nothing of the martyr
dom he will be called upon to undergo in
the municipal court. After which he will
doubtless coincide with the we'll known
conclusion of the cold water man, that
permitting oneself to be embraced by
sour mash, is not such fake af it's crack
up to be.
There is good deal of complaint on &C.
count of the fact that the low, swampy
place at the junction of Jackson and
Fourteenth streets Is being made the
general dumping ground for all sorts OF
vile and filthy stuff, the same as the low
swampy grounds on lower Third street
were number of years ago. This is q
still worse case than the Third street
dump. Everybody knows what a rotten
filthy place lower Third street was made
by this dumping business. The junction
of Fourteenth and Jackson streets will b.
just as bad as was the Third street nui
sance if people are allowed to continu,
dumping there, and great deal more of
fensive to more people who reside arounc
that neighborhood.
