GRAND FORKS, Dak., Dec. 2S.-The
most destructive fire that has visited
Grand Forks for number of years
commenced tonight shortly after z
O'Clock. In some mysterious manner
fire started in the basement of Ed G.
Richards furniture store, in the new
Syndicate block. The basement con-
tanned an immense amount of
furniture of every description.
Firemen, soon on the spot, found it was
utterly impossible to reach the fire at
first on account of the smoke. The
flames gained headway slowly, being
fought desperately for four hours,
when finally they were brought
under control. The first and second
and part of the third floors were Quilted
Loss on the building, which is owned by
Bulge, GrlggS &5 EShelman, is between
$4,000 and $4,000. The walls remain
intact, the damage being entirely in the
interior. The United States clothing
store lost their entire stock, valued at
$4,000. 1t was insured for $4,000. Ed
G.. Richmond lost his stock of furniture.
valued at $4,000, partially insured.
William Bulge had splendidly furnished
private rooms on the second floor,
the contents of which were
damaged to the extent of $1,000.
Bosard & Corlis and John M.
Cochrane had their records and law
books damaged. but their loss cannot
now be estimated. William Parker and
Willis r. Joy each sustained damage
from water and smoke. William Rand,
who occupied private rooms on
the third floor, had his furniture
damaged by water and smoke.
NJ. Reuth, grocery adjoining, sustained
slight damage from water and Smok.
A. &. johnson & Co., Rand Bros, Eph-
riam Bros, &. j. BjOrnstad in the old
Syndicate block, sustained some loss
from smoke. At one time it looked
as though the whole block would
go, and assistance was asked of Fargo,
but half an hour later the request was
countermanded. At midnight the fire
men are still pouring water into the
basement and carefully watching the
building.
FARGO RESPONDED READILY.

for the Forks when a second message
was received TO the effect that the fire
was under control. Shortly afterward
another message expressing the thanks
of Grand Forks authorities for the.
prompt response of the Fargo fire de-

eighteen minutes having elapsed from
the time of first call until Chief Cantieny

From 1879 to 1884 the annual esti.

when prices were the lowest in twenty
years.
There has been an advance in the
average for swine of all ages from 81 40
to 81 9S, or ii per cent. The annual ad-
vance was continuous from 1879 to 1883,

Frank leslle's Sunday Maoazine
 for June

Closes the twenty-third semi-ann ual volume of this we'll known monthly, and contains the index to the volume The contents of the number are timely to the season, and two of the articles relate to Lake Champlain. These are "Bow Arrow Point and the American Canoe Association" by Frederic C.
 Mather, and "Our Summer on Lake Champlain, the Inland resort of the Future," by Emily Pierce. Both of these articles are finely and fully illus trated, and they make one long to go thither. Lake George has so long mo- nopolized attention that it is an agreed ble change to find Lake Champlain re- ceiving the recognition it's beauties merit. "A Visit to Fort Qu'Apptle," 1" depicts, by pen and pencil, an interest ing spot on our Canadian border. "The Constitutional Convention of l7S7," by Walter Edgar McCann, is interesting, and "Music," by Ausburn TOwner, Is notable for its curious illustrations. In addition to his sermon and editorial comments, Dr. Talmage contributes q capital article on "Woman her own De fense." The shorter articles are nu- merous as usual and very interesting. The whole number is valuable.

That was fanciful conceit which endeavered to draw parallels between the gradual civilization and decay of nations and the life of m1n. Though the idea of making the small boy cor respond with the savage and predatory era does not appear to be so vSry far fetched, both having one thing in common, desire to cut their names or achievements on rocks, trees, etc., evi- dently realizing fully that pictures, however rude, easily convey ideas. In days when to be able to read WIS con sidered so great an accomplishment as to place man above all laws excepting ecclesiastical, those who wished to in- form others of their wants or wares were compelled. to do it by the laborious bellowings of A1e public crier or by standing at their store door and crying : "Good people what do you lack?" After while one of the lazy persons to whom the world has been indebted for so many improvements, to save his lungs, paint ed what he had to sell on the outside of the house. Then to distinguish the different dealers in the same goods the heraldic devices of the nobility and gentry were used to signify that they were the patrons, and, no doubt, from that sense of gratitude which is a lively sense of favOrs to come, until by the middle of the eighteenth century the streets were rendered absolutely dan. gerous by reason of the immense and expensive sign-bOards. Newspapers were then in their infancy, and the ad- advertisements in them were more like those of the want" column of the pres ent day it was not until the duty was taken off paper that advertising in newspapers became the enormous busi- ness that it now is. The demand ere ates supply, and men hampered by other business were only too glad to be able to transfer the work of placing advertisements to agents, who have now become so important factor Tn the business transactions of the world. Chicago naturally has an agency of her own which, If not actually the largest.
 Is certainly one of the largest in the
 world. We allude to Nessrs. Lord X
 Thomas, with branch offices in New
 York and St. Louis. A visit to the head office at Nos 45, 47 and 49 Ran dolph Street bids fair soon to become as
 much part of doing" Chicago as Lin
 coin Park and the packing houses. It
 Is extraordinary to witness the rapidity
 with which any one of the 14 900 papers
 in the country can be produced, owing
 to their system of wire files. We can with confidence recommend any one of our readers who wish courteous treat ment or who need the benefit Of the twenty years experience possessed by this firm, to call on them and see for themselves how easily this most compli- cited business can be managed by con- potent men.
