The town of Sarahsville. Noble count
ty, WIS almost entirely destroyed by fire
on Wednesday night of last week. The
fire started from defective fue in u
dwelling house next to the business part
of the town, and owing to the fact that
the wells were almost dry from the con-
tinued drouth, but little could be done to
stay the flames. Thirty-two houses in
all were burned, seventeen dwellings,
three stores, two hotels. the school build
ing, and various other buildings. The
only remaining store in the town suf-
fered loss of $4,000. One hundred and
sixty people were rendered homeless, and
only few of them are able TO rebuild,
as there was little insurance. The loss
Is estimated at from $4,000 to $50, 900,
and only $1,000 insurance. This scene
after the fire cannot be described, as the
nothing to comfort them.

cacy Of religious living once made
sin so respectable that he was un-
easy in its practice; whose charac-

between the Devil, who wanted
him 4 criminal, and the Lord, who
wished to make him fool; from
whose coarse hands the veterans OF
the civil war receive with reluc-
lance and aversion the meagre re-
ward of the valor that has given
him a fat salary; this professor OF
perspirational piety; this spltsle-
casting word-whanser; this mucker

litical opinion and press it upon
others. May the Devil discolor me

The Governors Trip.

Gov. Kiukead writes = long letter
to Mr.. Kelley Of the Silver State
relative to what he has seen along
the route to Alaska:
At Juneau, their first stop in
Alaska, the, party were given =
hearty reception by about 100
miners and citizens Of the place,
among them being . number OF
old Californians and Nevadans. OF
this place the Governor says:
Juneau City is the present center
Of mining interests. Back Of the
town, high up in the mountains, is
Fold Basin, where placer mining is
successfully carried on mainly
from decomposed quartz. The
washings discover many small
lodges Of fine gold quartz, but the
chief attraction now in the quartz
mill of Treadwell and Co., on
Douglas Island, which is literally \
mountain If quartz. The lower
tunnel shows . ledge Of at least
400 feet of quartz, assaying from
$40 to $18 per ton. This can be
milled and mined for 81 per ton.
This company expect to have their
12O-stamp mill running BY the 18th
of January. They will have e1-
pended by that time from $500, 900
to 100000. A few months will re-
pay them, and they have years OF

ward permanent development t

Spring. For this Winter l would
not advise any immigration. The
country is exceedingly difficult to
prospect, and attended with much
labor. In the near future, how
ever, I am confident 4 good field
will be opened for the mining in

Changing the TattOes.

About as nasty and lying + piece
Of demagogy as We have ever seen
is contained in the Colorado Dem
octatic platform, in which it is as
serted that Blaine is an enemy of
the silver mining interests. Blaines
votes in Congress on the Silver
question are of record, and speak
for themselves. The hireling pic
torial sheet, Puck, Of New York,
included in the tattoss it put on
Blaine his advocacy Of Chinese
Restriction and the double stand
ard. In the editions Of Puck
printed for Eastern circulation
these TATTOO marks remain; in the
editions printed for circulation in
the West, these tatoo-marks are
left out. The trouble with Demo-
cratic platforms 10 that they are
always founded on tho idea that
the rank and file of the party arc
ignorant. The average voter is, as
