Great Fire in Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, Oct 23-Ten O'Clock
this evening fire was discovered in the
cloak department of T. A. Chapman s
mammoth dry goods establishment
resulting in its complete obstruction,
together with the contents. There
was prompt response of the fire de
partmet but it was soon evident that
the structure was doomed. A general
alarm was sounded bringing out the
entire fire department of the city, but
even this seemed to have no effect on
the flames which swept through the
magnificent establishment as though
it was a tinder box. Within two
hours from the hour of discovering
the fire the building and contents
were a mass of ruins.
The building was four story brick,
210 by $50 feet ground space, at the
corner of Wisconsin and Mil gaukee
streets. The loss on the building is
$50, 900, and on Chapman's stock
$3.50, 900. Stark Bros, occupying a
portion of the building, lose 500 600
on stock. Everything fully covered
by insurance.
At IL so the Milwaukee street wall
fell, but warming had been given and
fremen and firemen and citizens were
out of danger and none were injured
After the falling of the wall the flames

Chapman's was the largest retail dry
goods establishment In the northwest.

1t addresses itself to thinking men in
every walk of life-to all who would reach
well reasoned, bipartisan conclusions on
subjects of public interest.
1t presents both sides OF questions, thus
insuring the largest view of all matters in
controversy, and enabling the reader to judge
