A Big Blaze in Duluth,

DULUTH, Nov. 2S.-The big fire here last
night broke out about eight o'clock in elevator
%" situated in the eastern part Of the city, OH
Lake Superior. Tho flames were discovered
in the extreme top Of the elevator In the east
end. They spread quickly and were soon be-
yond control. The fremen, on their arrival,
at once turned their attention to saving eleya-
tor "a" and other buildings In tho vicinity.
Four men were in elevator ''Q'' at the time.
One man named Waldner, got out early.
Charles Moore, watcbman, after being burned
severely, jumped from the top OF tho cupola,
eighty feet high, and was instantly killed. A
man named Larouche is missing, as is also
Charles Lee, foreman. The flames gradually
ate downward along the bins and slde and
soon extended to the annex to elevator a."
which was just nearing completion just west
of 80" While the fire progressed in these
two elevators, every effort was made to save
elevator "a" across the tracks from 20" be-
tween that and the lake. Half dozen streams
were turned on it by the frernen, while the
elevator fire company worked on the inside OF
the building. Streams deluged the roof Of the
building, but to no purpose. As the flames
grew hotter, the firemen were compelled 70
fall back and leave the elevator to its fate On
the north side Of elevator ''Q' and annex, and
between them and Superior street, was row
OF frame buildings used as dwellings and stores.
There were nine Of these in tho block, and all
went the same way. Elevator ''Q' was built
two year ago by the Duluth & Western Eleva-
tor Co. Itcost $4,000. The annex was begun
two months ago, and would have been ready
to receive wheat In two weeks. About $50, 600
had been expended upon 1t to date. Capacity
of elevator 20" 100000 bushels, and there
were in it 100000 bushels. The annex would
have had capacity Of 500, 900 bushels. Elevator
"a" was the oldest elevator in Duluth, built IN
1876, and owned by the Union Improvement
& Elevator Co., composed of Duluth and out
side capitalists. A few years ago an addition
to the elevator was made and its capacity to-
day was 300, COO bushels. 1t was worth about
$125.0O0. There were stored In it this morn
ing about $4,000 bushels of wheat; 112, 600
Of corn; 10000 of fax seed, and $4,000 OF oats.
Total loss Of grain in the two elevators, about
1000 bushels, valued at about 1856, 900. The
total amount Of grain and salvage will proba-
bly, amount to about ten per cent. of the total
value. The grain was owned by Duluth and
outside parties principally in small lots. On
elevators and grain the loss is $40, 900.

According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press the
Minneapolis Millers' union has been finally
abandoned. That journal says: ut has been
a short-lived experiment. but apparently the
time has been sufficiently long to demonstrate
that it has been failure. The abandonment
bAthe mllers Of the plan OF organization and
combination for the purpose Of controlling the
wheat Of the Northwest brings out very forci-
bly, the great changes that have taken place
since the old millers association was first
formed. Then there was not enough wheat to
be had, and the millers were compelled to
combine to keep prices sufficiently high to pre-
vent its going elsewhere. Now the market is
filled to overfowing, and the necessity for CON-
bination is at an end"
