A Ere bug has been quite actively en-
gagged Of late in the quiet community of
Westminster. Not long since the at
tempt to fire the dwelling house of Viii.
liam Harper was followed by the de.
struction OF large quantity of hay,
fired as it is supposed by phosphorus.
On Thursday third attempt was made
against Mr.. Harper by burning q stack
containing about twenty tens Of hay.
As yet the rascal has avoided detection,
but the feeling regarding the thrice
repeated outrage is 30 strong that the
suspicion as now directed may lead to
the capture Of the culprit.
An alarm Of fire about half past five
o'clock on Sunday morning called forth
the citizens to witness the destruction Of
the dwelling house on Auguste street
owned by Mrs. Julia Luedke and occu-
pied by john Hanna. There was no
lack OF willing hands ready to assist in
any way, but the fire did its work so
rapidly that the spectators could only
watch the blazing house and stand ready
to prevent tho flames from doing harm
to adjacent buildings. Three chairs, q
sofa and table comprised all the furni.
ture that was taken from the house, and
they, even, were scorched.
About the hour indicated, Mrs. Hanna
was preparing supper upon coal oil
stove, of the FAIRY Qneen pattern.
Noticing that the flame putfed up in q
fitful way she turned the wick down
and attempted to blow it out. But the
flame shot up higher, and she picked
up the stove and started to carry it out
OF doors. But the flame scorched her
cheek, and she either let the stove
fall or the bottom dropped out, and in
an instant the flames had communicated
with the cloth covered ceiling. As be-
fore stated, the fire did its work too rap.
idly to admit Of any of the furniture
being saved. 1t is as strange rs it il
fortunate that Mrs. Hanna was moi
severely burned by the ignition Of hel
clothing.

bc0urged by Fire.
ST. PAUL, Aug. l6.-For the fourth
time in its history the city of Anoka is
fire stricken, and the entire business
portisn is for the second time entirely
wip,d out of existence. The ruin is wide
spread and extensive. AT this time it is
utterly impossible to more than roughly
approximate the great loss which is
placed by the most conservative at 81.
000, 900 at least. The alarm was given
shortly after o'clock this morning. and
the cause was found to be fire in
kinnes & Tandervelder's skating rink.
No lives were lost and no serious acci-
dents occurred, though it was a scene Of
tho widest and most uncomfortable con-
fusion. Men fell exhausted by the heat
and smoke, while women tainted, appall.
ed by the terrible visitation. Losses and
insurance cannot be definitely ascertain
ed for several days. Washburn 4 Co.,
planning mill owners. have insurance to
the amount of Sl43, 500. Their loss is
believed to be fully $4,000, possibly
500, 900. Assistance was summoned
from St. Paul aud Minneapolis, but
reached the doomed city too late to be
OF service. except in saving Washburn's
mammoth saw and shingle mills.

Lager Beer has become world power,
and has conquered the earth. 1t is keep.
ing step with the progress Of culture, and
wherever civilized people live the ma.
tional beverage Of the Germans 10 one Of
the first things demanded. This is the
reason why beer is said TO have mis-
sion. Even in California. with its null
titudinous richness, there is now great
lager beer brewery, namely, The Fred
ericksburg Brewing Company, in
San Jose, Cal. The fact that lager beer
is browed in California ia notable step
in the history of manufacturing pro-
gress in America. The above named
brewery is the first brewery in Califor.
mia which has undertaken the manufac-
ture of what is called underbrewed beer,
or, rs it is commonly known, lager beer,
which 10 capababls of sustaining trans.
portation without injury. This has not
been accomplished heretofore. The
fruitful soil OF California has for long past
produced excellent barley and finely
favored hops. and the land abounds in
pure crystal water, but still, in order to
utilize all the natural advantages OF the
country, the introduction of modern
and improved machinery and cooling
apparatus became necessary-in short,
the same machinery and apparatus
which are used in our great breweries.
The consequence of the introduction of
this improvement is the excellent beer
which is now produced in San Jose. Its
excellence was proven recently by many
Chicagoans who are connoisseurs OF the
article. The Fredericksburg Brewing
| Company has Just sent carload of its
beer to Max Romer. the proprietor Of
the well-known Beer Palace on North
Clark street. This beer had come its
long journey Of fourteen days with so
little injury that 1t is now taken out of
the keg as clear and fresh as II the keg
had been brought out of the cellar of
the brewery. 1t can well be imagined
that the amber fluid of California must
have gone through severe and success
full test when it satisfied the connoisseurs.
But it did more; it has also salts
fed those who were unwilling to
guarantee to California the double
honor Of producing both the best
wine and the best beer In this
country. The flavor Of this beer is
similar to the celebrated light beer of
| Germany. We are convinced that this
beer will successfully contest the palm
of excellence with the Eastern beers
which are now imported to California.
