Large Amount of Property Destroyed

Stockmen Sustain a Very Severe

BISMARCK, Oak, Oct. 10.-The prairie fires
were started near this city Yesterday it is thought,
by sparks from engines on the Northern Paciic
road One fire was started within the city limits,
and, passing north destroyed a large amount Of
property. This fire is still raging, and, like all
prevons prairie baZes, it IS beyond control OF the
farmers A Pierce (Neb) dispatch says: ter
rible and widespread prairie fire is raging in the
northeastern part of this (fierce) county, and the
adjoining counties Of Ceear, Wayne and Knox. A
high windllas been blowing the last "a hours,and
the great fire has been travelling with remarka-
bic rapidity Tie lay On every farm in the course
of tie fire has been swept Off Many settlers have
lost barns, sheds and outhouSeS, and one man his
dwelling place. All the hay on the Logan bet
toms which had been put up for the cattle on Col,
Offs Cedar county ranch a farm containing 1900
acres, has been destroyed. There are many large
herds of cattle in that region, and as the hay has
been destroyed, tie loss will he very severe on
the stcekmen. The fire, Which seems TO have
started about the centre of Knox county, just be-
low the Santee-Soux Indian reservation has been
beating south against strong wind which mas
materially staid its progress. Should this Wlud
suddenly let up, the fire may penetrate the south

COMMERCIAL FRAUDS.
Alleged Extensive Bribery by Aniline
and Dve Stuff importers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1o.-The American journal OF
Fabrics publishes article charging the anime
and dye stuff importers in the United States with
manufacturing establishments. The facts are
furnished by Edward J. Vessels, one OF New New
abandoned the business because of widespread
dishonesty. The resolutions indicate that a sys-
TEN of bribery has been fostered among the, four
teen Importers constituting the trade which has
rendered legitimate business impossible. Con
Germs with a capital originally insignificant have
bounded into prosperity through colusions with
and pure stuffs, unaccompanied by a bribe, are
made to appear worthless, while anything tnat is
so accompanied can be as easily proved to be me
best. The manufacturer Is thus al Inc
mercy of a system of which he is unable
TO detect the existence, thoughhe may
suspect from results that something is
wrong In confirmation of these charges it is
pointed out that employees OF dyeing establish,
ments frequently are enabled to start concerns OF
their own in an incredibly short period of service

improvements at the insane Hospi-
faI

The movement in the way of improvements at
the insane hospital commenced several years ago,
has beer continued this year with renewed vigor.
Work has been directed chiefly the present sea-
son towards improving and bettering the sewage
system connected with the institution. All the
drains and pipes the north side of the building
embracing about half the system, have been over
hauled and separated into three divisions, that
the water, sink and water closet drains are dis
tinct from each other The object of this is to OBJ
tain better ventilation and prevent the ingress Of
the deadly and noxious sewer gases into the
building to injure the health of the inmates
About 5000 feet of drains have been changed
and east iron pipe has been substituted for earth
en-. The work was commenced in June, nearly all
the excavatng having been performed by patients
in charge of one of the oldest and most trusted
attendants. Another season the remainder Of
the sewage system will be treated. MIR. II. A.
Taber has had charge of the piping and plumbing
In addition to the improvement of the sewage the
grading about the new pavilions has been com
peted and grass seed sown, SO that the surface of
the ground is now clothed in verdure. More gar
denfng has been carried on at the hospital This
year than ever before, the area cultivated being
Is acres The gardening and orchardng are now
conducted apart from the farming, Mr. VIM. III.
