THE Carrlngton News while strongly
in favor of Mr.. Casey Fosters first and
last choice for the legislature, accepts
the situation with philosophy. Mr.. Casey
has been the first choice OF Foster for
long time, and that county may insist at
some future day that he represent her
interests in some station of public honor
and trust. The News says of tie James
town convention. s'The republican leg
islatlve convention of this district met on
Wednesday, and resulted in the nomina L.
ton on the first ballot Of Mr.. W. E.
Dodge, of Stutsman, for the territorial
council, and Mr. d. S. Dodds, of Nelson,
and Mr. f. M. Shook, of Benson, for the
territorial assembly We submit to the
situation with al the philosophy we can
command. We should have been pleased
to see our own Foster county nominee,
MIR. Lyman r. Casey, receive the honor
that has been conferred upon others
There was no specially hard fighting in
the convention, apart from the struggle
over the Eddy and Stutsman contests.

Gone UO In Smoke

A few minutes past two O'Clock this
morning the awful screeching of the 10
comotives and the clear notes of the fire
bell rung out upon the still night air,
sounding the fire alarm. A few scconCs
afterwards flames were seen issuing from
the second story rear room of the Fifth
avenue hotel, occupied by Mss Mary
O'Toolo. The fire company quickly res
ponded to the call but the fire had made
such headway In the interior, before the
al srm as;sounded, that when they ar
rived, the whole rear end of the building
was in flames. In such a case without
any efficient water protection, they could
do but little towards staying the progrcs
of the flames and the whole of the hotel
building WAS soon one sheet of fire, which
was quickly communicated to the adjoin-
ing buildings. The railroad water Ia TX
was hauled up and the hose attached,
but, so quick did the fire spre d, helped
as 1t Was by strong northwesterly wind,
that not until 1t Was evident that three
buildings at least must 60 When this
was apparent the firemcn bat,led hravely
with the flames in an endeavor to save
the building occupied by TesNe & Wal.
ton. The effort was soon seen to be hope
less, however, and they turned their at
tention TO the building owned by Mike
Foley, occupied by Barney McGee, and
the Gladstone, which for long time
seemed in imminent danger, so mu.h so
that the greater part OF the furniture etc.
was removed from the old portion. Here
he tircmen and citizens worked fearlessiy
and faithfully and after a hard fight saved
the hotel.
The loss and insurance as far as asccr
tanned are as follows: Fifth Avenue no.
tel, owned by VIM. M. Lloyd, Jr, loss on
building a,out $4,000, fully insured.
Miss Mary O'Toole, furniture, ETC.,
$3.50; no insurance.
Brewitt B,othcrs, loss small; no insu-
rance Building owned by VIM. NJ. Lloyd;
fully insured.
A. Peterson, stock of leather, too,s,
ETC. Damage $50; no insurance.
Waller & Carr, two story building; loss
and insurance unknown.
Tcske & Walton, loss on stock of cl-
gars, tobaccos, ETC., and furniture, 500;
no insurance. Balldng owned by VIM.
NJ. Lloyd; fully insured.

The Gladstone was considerably dam
aged.
The Lloyd e. McClintock block was
also damaged by breakage of window
panes.
The origin of the fire IS unknown.
Great credit IS due to the firemen and cit
liens assisting, as but for their hard work
the Gladstone would surely have gone.
The railroad company, with its usual
promptness, got its water tank in posi-
ton. 1t is needless to state that but for
Its timely appearance and the faithful
work OF its employees, the result would
have been disastrous, indeed

Bitter Bread.

Complaint is frequently made by those
who use baking powders that they leave
IN bread, biscuit, or cake raised by them
disagreed ole, bitter taste This taste
follows the use of all impure baking pow
ders, and Is caused either by their con.
tanning alum introduced to make cheap
arllcie), by the impure and adulterated
character Of other ingredients used, or
from the ignorance OF their manufacture
ers Of the proper methods OF combining
them. These baking powders Leave in
the bread a residuum formed of lime,
easth, alum, Or other d. laterious matters,
not always, though frequently, taatsbIe
in the tood, and by all physicians classed
as IN jurious to health. The Royal Bak-
ing Powder is free from this serious de-
feet. In its use no resduum is left, and
the loaf raised by 1t is always sweet, light
and wholesome, and uotiCeably free from
the peculiar taste complained o.. The
reason OF this is because it is composed Of
nothing but absolutely pure materials,
scientifically combined in exactly the
proper proportions of acid and alkai to
act upon and destroy each other, while
producing the La gest amount Of rising
power. We are justified in this assertion
from the unqualified statements made by
the Government chemists, who after
thorough and exhaustive tests recon-
meHded the "Roysp' for Governmental
use because of its superiority over all
others IN purity, strength, and whole
scmeness. There is no danger of bitter
bread or biscuit where it alone is used.

Now THAT Hon. D. W. Goodrich, has
been re-nominated for member of the
council from this district, the Capital can
enter upon It's labor of love in getting its
proprietor elected. Anyhow, Mr.. Good
rich will take an active interest In the
campaign end, if the democratic votes
should ell thick enough this season, he
would, beyond doubt, be always found at
the post Of duty. 1t is SAID that Rodtrick
Rose was offered the nomination by tele-
graph, but declined, 1t being lmpossi Ole
for him to run. The other members of
the ticket are DR.. Warren Of Darlington
and W. E. Perkins of Nelson county.
MIR. Day will make a speech here soon
and democratic enthu siasm will begin to
rise over the territorial and legislative
tickets and the beautiful evoIutions O the
Flan4 beaux Club advertised to appear.

After the Fire.

The fire Of yesterday morning was III
every sense lucky fire. 1t consumed a
row Of wooden buildings which were a
constant menace and danger to the lives
and property Of many citizens. The loss,
fortunately, tails upon quite number,
in smaller amounts that usual. The
Brewett Brothers are perhaps the heayi-
est loosers, as they had paid some $500
on the purchase Of the building they oc-
cupled, and had assigned insurance to the
value of 81 500, to Waller & Carr. Nc
Gee & Co., are also heavy loosers, as their,
stock was almost entirely consumed or
has Disappeared They had just received
several barrels Of expensive whiskeys and
large invoice of other valuable stock.
Complaints of petty thieving were heard
for the first time during local fire. The
narrow escape Of the Gladstone Is a mat
ter of self, cor graduation to every citizen
of Jamestown for had this magnificent
structure gone down before The flames it
would have been many long, cold day
before another building equaling 1t would
have been erected in Its stead. The cor
rigated iron shcetlng on the north side of
the wooden potion alone saved that part
from destruction. The wisdom and pru-
dence of Mr.. Klaus in providing this
safety from fire to the guests of the hotel,
and for his property itself, is again pully
seen. 1t is probable that the Messrs
Lloyd Will rebuild, as they own all of the
lots, and that first class brick, iron and
glass structures will take the place of
this row of rookeries. The property is SO
valuable that it hardly seems possible but
| that me gentl .mep wi rebuild.
The greatest of credit Is due to the
| foresight, and ctfurts Of Superintendent
Graham and the employees of the rail-
road for taking such splendid part in
subdung the flames. If the railroad
water tank aud engine had not been at
hand and the powerful stream from it,
sent directly upon the buildings threat
ened, the Gladstone, t Northern Dako-
| ia Elevator. wi hout doubt, and other lu
termediate buildings would have been

lnasmuch as tobacco is an obnoxious
weed, and is poisoning to both soul and
body, and greatly de,racls from the ef-
hcient work OF the minister of The gospel,
be it
Resolved, That IN accordance with the
apostolic iDjunctions, that we should
cleanse ourselves from al tilthlness of
the flesh, and in harmony with the letter
au sprlt Of the discipline Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, we unanimously
agree to TOTALLY abstain from Its use and
DO all IN our power to persuade others to
do the same; and that we heartily concur
IN the actions of our superintendent IN
enforcing this rule upon the brethren Of
this conference; and that we request the
presiding der of the North Dakota Con-
ference not to employ any man who uses
this srticle.
Resolved, That in our opinion no one
ought to be considered eligible either to
the office Of presiding elder or as delegate
to the general conference, who will not
wholly abstain from its use.
