Fire in Sleepy Eve.

Sleepy Eye has experienced another
serious conhagration. At an early hour
last Friday morning the operators in
the telegraph office were clarified by
an explosion, and ON looking toward
the direction from which the report
came they observed fire issuing from
one of the row Of frame buildings op-
posite the railroad depot, on the north
side of the track. The alarm was
quickly given, butthe fire had alrea-
dy gained such Roadway that but lit
tie could be done to stay the progress
of the flames. The buildings destroyed
were occupied by James Kneal, agent
of the Chicago News Company; H.
Miller, hotel and saloon; Jas. Muller
meister, feed store and dwelling. The
building occupied by the former was
owned by VIM. Gebser, formerly Of
New Ulm. The uwo-story wing and
brick building owned by Nelson Bros.
was saved, though in badly damaged
condition. The offices of the Herald
and American Express Co. were bad
ly scorched, and the type and presses
in the former became badly democrat
lied by their hasty removal. We un-
derstand that both presses were brok-
en- and the type badly pied Mr..
Bowen had an insurance of $500 on
his Office, but as some of the damage
was incurred by removal after the FIRE
was subdued, it is doubtful whether
he can recover from insurance compa-
MES to the full amount of his loss. All
the other property destroyed was fully
insured.

house and stable belonging to Mr.,
J. G, Rudolph. of New Ulm, and
about 20 tons of hay belonging to Mr..
c. Spelbrink of this town was consum.
ed by the fire. Whoever set the prai-

this should be caution for our daring
fire builders to bea little more care
full in future.

The address issued in the name Of
the recent st. Paul farmers con-
vention pitches into railway COR
poratlons and monopolies generally
in lively style. It recites the op.
preston and injustice to which the
farmers Of the Northwest have been
subjected in the matter Of freights
and elevators, and asserts that the
concessions promised and alleged to
have been made by the railroads
are in fact no concessions at all and
Of no benefit whatever. Finally it
calls for the organization Of farmers
and other Industrial classes through.
out the country for the purpose of
combined resistance against further
encroachments on their rights.
Equitable laws and their faithful
execution are to be demanded, and
farmers are warned against voting
for any man who will not pledge
them his hearty support and CO.

At last New Ulm has caught on.
Although the formal opening of the
skating rink built by Mr.. Zieher will
not take place until next Monday
evening, a large crowd may be seen
nightly gliding around on the rink,
both on their roller skates and other
wise otherwise mostly. While the
young gents are right on time every
evening, it is noteworthy fact that
the ladies are not at all anxious to
court the perils of the hard wood floor,
and the most venturesome withdraw
to the spectators corner after few
Intellectual attempts. Oh! it is glori.
Gus sport to see the tumbling act, gen.
orally participated in by all on the
floor; but no two go down alike. One
skater will come down like an ava
lanche, moving a swath before him
and leaving numerously pied forms on
either side. One will tie his legs up
in bow-knot and sasha off on his
left ear, while another will send one
foot off toward the North Pole in
search of the Greedy expedition and
the other towards the Equator, and
come in contact with the floor like a
twisted doughnut-so contorted that
he cannot lie still. But the hight Of
amusement is reached when the fat
man tumbles. He commences by paw
ing the air, tearing his buttons, and
trying to corral his extremities; but
finally goes over, pre-empting a quar-
ter section of land, and embracing
everything in his way, from a frisky
maiden to a toothless oil maid. just
at this juncture Peck's bad boy comes
along like creased lightning, and catch
es his skates under the fat mans arm
pits, and performs the great Corsican
Brothers. act on his cerebellum. BY
all means go and see the sport, and if
you become weary Of looking on, why
just put on the skates yourself.
