LANCASTER, Wis. Aug. 29.-About
Dne-quarter of the business portion of
this city was destroyed by fire early this
morning. When discovered the flames
were confined to small shed in the
rear of a block of wooden buildings
owned by the estate of James A. Jones.
The alarm was Immediately given, and
soon the entire population was On the
scene, ready to aid in the work of ar
resting the progress of the fire. The fire
department, considering the meager
facilities, did excellent work, but with
only hand engine there was but little
hope of eXtinguishing the fire, which
by an explosion of gasoline and powder
had been spread to number of sheds,
warehouses and other outbuildingS. 1t
was soon apparent that all that could be
done was to confine the fire to the block
In which it started, and thus save the
Town. This was accomplished, but only
after hard fight on the part of the fire
department, assisted by the citizens,
who, armed with buckets,applled water
10 the exposed fronts. Even young
women and girls took their turn
at the engine pumps or rend-
extended first to the store of Ivey &
Webb. and then to the brick building of
John P. Lewis and occupied by Wiley

rapid succession John Baldwin's

j. w. Lawrence the Eminent
Choice of the Committee.
AS predicted in the GLOBE of yester-

was the unanimous choice of the COM

He was chosen with one voice, and as
the partner, friend and adviser of Eu-

who heard of it yesterday.
Mr.. Lawrence is a Democrat of ster-

justice, and he becomes the chairman
of the state committee backed by every
member of it and the entire party.
These features were what elected
such hearty praise yesterday from Dem

Grain Dealers Confer.

Special to the Globe.
W1SoSA, Aug. ss.AThe grain deal
ers of Southern Minnesota held con-
ference at the Huff house to-day and
discussed matters of interest regarding
movements of the fall crop, the question
of grading, etc. 1t is estimated that the
barley crop this year will be about the
same in quantity as last year. 1t will
possibly be a little darker than last
year, but the berry is good. The wheat
crop, it was thought, would be greater
than last year. Reports as to the dam
age done by the discouraging weather.
of early August were conflicting, but
not very unfavorable.

The Wheat Crop in the Vicinity of
Grand Forks Badly Damaged.

Grand Forks Badly Damaged.
Special to the Globe.
GRAND Forks, Dak., Aug. 29.-The
general topic of conversation during
the past few days has been the condi-
ton of the wheat crop. The outlook is
far from favorable. The wheat of rear
ly every farmer living north and west
of here was more or less damaged by
frost. Some lost their all, while their
neighbors suffered 0stly a partial loss.
John l.. Cole, of South Stump Lake, had
to burn 161 acres of wheat not worth
cutting. Many of his neighbors are in
the same boat, Col. Smith losing 800
acres. Hughes, of West Inkster, will
burn 400 acres. The extent of the dam
age is only being learned as the farm
ers examine closely. The head looks
all right, but the grain is shriveled and
shrunken. In six counties that pro-
duced nearly one-half of the wheat
yield of Dakota last year, not one-half
the usual crop will be harvested this
year. Unless much better prices pre-
vail than last year, there will be gen.
eral hard times among the farmers.
Some saved their crops by burning
straw and creating clouds of smoke
during the night of the frost.
