Poor H0usa Rurnail.

KALAMAZOO, Mioh., April 3d.
The poor house of VanBuren ct tunty
located near Hartford. Mich, was
burned last night. Fifteen or six.
teen inmates LOST their lives in the
flames. The building was of frame
and burned very rapidly. The in
mates burned were all in one wing,
and most of them were smOthered ip
their beds, but several were found
together. Only one body was found
that was recognizable. All that
could be found of the other thirteen
was put in an ordinary box the size
of q coffin. The first known of the
hre wa- the cries Of pau pers and that
wing was then all In flames. The
building COL taineds forty-five pau
pers The remaining thirty>one es-
capped and all the hired help. Loss
on the building. SIS. 900; insured. !
The county farm lies mid way be-
tween the villages of Hartford and
Lawrence, three miles from each and
beyond assistance, but when the
flames were discovered help for the
buildings already involved would
have been useless. The buildings
comprised large two story frame
with wl0g extending east and two
story addition projecting south from
the rear. The latter was occupied
by the superintendent, Mr.. Cash,
his family and the hired help. On3
of the latter, Halsey, was aroused by
the cries of the inmates, and going
'iOwn the hall he opened the door to
the two story addition when he was
almost ovtrpoweced by the volume
Of flame and smoke that burst out
He had hardly time to give the
alarm in the superintendenl's room,

Our oity Ticket.

The excellent selection of can
didates for city offices made by the
recent Democratic convention has
been and is still the subject of most
flattering comment by all classes of
citizens. Their election is conceded
by those who have measured the
length and the breadth Of the two
tickets. 1t is also conceded that
their election means an orderly and
dignided yet progressive city
government; that it means an eco
nomical administration of city affairs;
that 1t means improved streets, clean
alleys and thorough sanitary regula-
tions; that 1t means a careful sur er.
vision of the interests Of the city in
every department, and an honest, in
telligent and satisfactory discharge
of every duty imposed upon each
city officer.

faint praise. The music is superb,

Our Is per cent. discount sale is

is a very easy matter to reduce prices
but to attempt their complete resto-
ration would he attended with diff
culties which we are free to confess,
we do not care to meet. Such an at
telpt. however just, would largely
diminish the volume of trade and in
the end would prove serious loss to
US; and it is even better that we
should continue to sell at or about
cost than to have at the end of the
season vast accumulation which
would then be undesirable and which
we would then be compelled to place
on our bargain tables at heavy loss.
This is the philosophy Of the situa-
tion as We view it and hence Of the

have therefore made

It has been matter OF necessity
and not of choice but this does not
detract from the benefits which We
thus place within your reach. All
prices will te net on and after this
date but many lines of goods will be
