a BLAZING TIME.

Chicago's Fire-Fighters Have an Exciting
Experience Subduing a Condagration in
Which a Large Business Block and Sew
eral Tenements were Destroyed-Seyeral
Firemen Seriously Injured.
CHICAGO, March 30.-Shortly after mid
night fire destroyed the Davis & Rankin
block, at Lake and Peoria streets, to-
gether with several tenement houses and
cottages adjoining, causing loss of about
$500, 900. The block was a tive-story brick,
125x150, and was occupied by half a dozen
firms, the largest being Davis q Rankin,
dealers in creamery supplies. In the
building were also Zimmerman IL
Co., refrigerator manufacturers; Line,
Weaver & Co., fruit cans; the
Goss Printing and Press Company,
Lintholm Picture Frame Company, Chica-
go Egg Condensing Company and the
Steele Keye Drive Chain Company. The
fire was furious one and a Ali alarm
called out thirty engines. The blazing
building lowered above nest of closely
huddled frame houses, occupied mostly by
workingmen. These little houses sur
rounded the big block, and every wall
crushed home The fire was one of Incl
dents, narrow escapes of firemen follow
ing each other in quick succession, and it
was remarkable that no one was
killed. Marshal Murphy, with COM
panies Nos. II and "a, made
his way to the fourth floor, while
truck 2's men were on the floor below.
Suddenly there was an explosion of hot
air that knocked down every man on the
fourth floor. All were badly bruised. The
names of the men are: Assistant Marshal
Murphy, Captain Anderson, Lieutenant
Sloat, Pipeman John Mcdonald, Pipeman
j. j. Leahy, Pipeman John Goodman,
Pipeman William Cannon and Driver Ben
Allison, of No. II, and Captain Weber,
Lieutenant Lynch and Pipemen Haas,
Kelly and Lesser, of No. "a, and Pipeman
Kirkland, of No. 10. Anderson and Kirk
land were the most badly used, but all
scrambled down the stairway and escaped.
Most of them remained on duty, though it
will be some days before they recover
from the effects of the explosion. The
total loss will probably reach S3O0,OO0.
Davis & Rankin owned the building,
which cost them $4,000 two years ago.
The owners had over 100000 worth Of
stock, machinery and fixtures. The build
ing and stock were insured for $4,000.
Goss & Co. lose $4,000, insured for S25,-
000 The loss of the other firms will
bring the figures up to about 100000. No
one seems to know what started the fire,
but the watchman is sure it started on the
top floor.
During the time of its progress it was
one of the most stubborn and difficult fires
to deal with that has been experienced in
long time.

HUNTING ANTELOPES.
Discouraging Experience of an Idaho Man
in Search of Food.

Discouraging Experience OF an Idaho Man
in Search of Food.
A hunter who recently came in from
his retreat rel ates the following story
and exhibits sears to corroborate his
statements:
A new snow like plush carpet
clothed the little valley and made
grand the towering mountains that
almost overhang the raging river.
Silver mountain Of the Salmon river
range forms sublime background for
the landscape above Garden valley in
Idaho. My little log cabin is in the
shade of the great mountain, which
has its crest in perpetual snow, its
ribs of glaciers, and its dark fir forests
of green. My nearest neighbor is a
new arrival who lives three miles
down the river He has family of
grown sons--and daughters l am q
bachelor decided to visit him on that
first day of snow. As is the custom in
this land where we depend upon wild
meat as an important article of food,
l carried my trusty rifle. One-half
mile from home / came upon herd of
antelope in a little cove They had
not suspicioned danger They were
feeding toward me. In fact. they
seemed to be on the move toward tho
river, but were browsing rs il they
had made long journey on short ra-
tons but had not quite determined
upon that spot as winter range. A
flock of sheep in charge of a shepherd
would not have been more quiet and
peaceful. 1 counted far up into the
hundreds while enjoying the picture
of pretty animal life. In fact had
no desire to murder one of the mild
eyed creatures. but my larder needed
replenishing. They approached till
the leader was within thirty yards.
The valley narrowed to canyon at
the point where l was secreted and
the many heads and horns hud-
died together as the steep sides
forced them toward the narrow pass
way. The brown mass was so crowded
together that l could not see the white
snow between the animals. ] singled
OUT pump IaWni ana Without NOV"
ing from behind my shelter fired at
it. A 40-60 never made so much noise
before. There was white cloud OF
dry snow. A thousand feet had kicked
it into the air, and it circled some
thing like the beginning of blizzard.
Then came rush. l was knocked
down by an antelope. l was tramped
upon and jumped upon till the breath
was out of my body. When | recov-
cred the storm of live antelopes had
passed. The whole herd had run over
me- My clothes were torn of, was
scratched, bruised and cut from my
boots to may ears. / crawled home
without my meat An external ap-
plication of antelope sufficed for that
day. 49, Cor. Detroit Free Press

RECREATION AND REST.
Eek citement Which Invigorates and Ex
citement Which Exhausts.

The exhaustion entailcd by this
busy life of ouri is tremendous. and so
depletes the nervous system that dis
ease is invited. and when the system
is thus exhausted, it is easy TO fall u
victim to the disease, Something must
be done 10 restore the lost energy,
and recreation alone can accomplish
il with the least expenditure Of time.
The recreation must of course. be
suited to the daily life of the person
whose vitality is depleted. The organs
not under the control of the will, such
rs the heart and the secretory organs,
may show the result of the rest inn
mediately BUTT is not so with the
muscles of the body.
A good digestion is necessary TO
recreation, for rs long as nutriment is
kept up, endurance is likely to con
tinue. Digestion is always largely
aided by proper physical exercise, and
it is thus that we may say that exer-
else is the best of recreation. The
fundamental recreation is change
from one class of work TO another
tn brain worker for instance, rcquir-
ing muscular exercise, a ID the me-
chanic requiring brain work. And
both classes wall find cer'a ain amount
Of emotional recreation TO their adj
vantage 1t is well known that low
spirits tend 10 lower the vital
tone and render one liable to disease.
Those most i'm need of recreation
are hose engaged in work Of sedeu'
tary nature Nearly all professional
men come under this class. aud their
recreation should be largely Of a
physical character, Women and chill
dren, the former especially, rely too
much on excitement for recreation,
but unfortunately they carry it 10
such an extent that it becomes simply
dissipation. marked distinction
exists between excitement which in
~igorates aud excitement which eX-
hausts The former is beneiici ,l the
latter is extremely debililaung.

A WORKOUT wATCuwORD.

The only hope of the Republican
party in this campaign is to brighten
the people with the stereotyped cry of
Gree Trade" which they have used
for tho past eight years; but the voters
of the country failed to see ruin to the
county four years ago by the election of
Cleveland, the country has prospered
under Democratic administration
Notwithstanding the predictions of dire
disaster, and the forecast of four years
ago having proved false In every par
ticular, tho voters Of the United States
will hardly believe that the country W II
be raincd by continuing the administrn-
ton OF Grover Cleveland. They have
found 10y experience that the govern
ment is safe in the hands of the Demo-
cratic party and they are not ready to
lie frightened out of voting their con-
victions by the old, senseless cry Of
Free Trade. Cleveland will be elected
by Oh increased majority.

Wages of Labor.

Mr.. Blaine has way Of putting
things which is very annoying to his
opponents in the campaign. In the
course Of the first little speech that he
made after landing, he said: "The
wages of the American laborer cannot
be reduced except with the consent and
with the vote of the American Iaborer
himself. The appeal lies to him.
(Carson Tribune.
Yes, such statements are very annoy
ing-.to Republicans. The numerous
employees of Andrew Carnegie took n
vote to reduce their salaries 10 per cent.
shortly before the Scotland coaching
tour of Carnegie and Blaine, and their
wages were so reduced. They realized
that Andrew would be ut great expense
on the trip, hence the reduction, with
the consent and with the vote of the
American laborcr himself"

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
TIE CHINESE EXCLUSION
ACT.

When the Chinese exclusion act was
signed by President Cleveland, the law
yers Of the Chinese Six Companies in
San Francisco brought two suits
in the United States Court to test the
constitutionality of the act. These
cases have been decided in the Circuit
Court and the constitutionality of the
act affirmed. The Court holds that the
language of the exclusion act is clear
and exact aud capable of but one con-
struction, and The court fails to find in
the at any element of ez post .Jacto law,
ms was claimed by the counsel for the
Chinese. No offense was committed by
the Chinese in leaving the United
States and the provisions of the act are
not Intended as penalty for leaving,
but simply repeal, by Congress, of
prior laws.
The Chinese attorneys give notice
that they will appeal from the decision
of the Court to the Supreme Court of
tho United States. At present, how
ever, 10 Chinese laborers can lawfully
enter the United States by land or sen
from any country, and according to n
dispatch this morning Chinese brought
from Alaska in vessel, which sailed
through foreign waters on the voyage,
will not be permitted to land until it is
nscertained how they arrived in Alaska.

Tariff Lesson.

Mr.. Blaine says the present gener-
alton must be taught the benefits OF
high protection. An excellent idea.
If a young man buys suit of clothes
for $23, the amount of protection he
pays for it is SO. The clothes without
protection would cost $14.
If he buys 81 hat he gets 40 cents
worth of hat and 60 cents worth of pro-
ton.
If n young couple just beginning
housekeeping buy yard of brussels
carpet for 81 they receive 45 cents in
carpet and IS cents in protection-or,
say, for q whole room, $40 worth of
carpet and $l8 worth of protection.
With free wool SIS would be saved.
II the young woman pays SO for a
shawl she gets Sc worth of shawl only;
the other So she presents to the manu-
facturer to protect" him.
If she buys q dress for $19 she gets
S12 worth of dress and Sc worth of pro-
tection.
If n young farmer buys 500 worth of
implements to start out in farming he
gets $50 In machines and $40 in tariff
wind pudding.
If the farmer purchases barrel of
salt for 81 he gets Ga cents in salt and
pays 3G cents in protection to compa-
MES in Syracuse, Warsaw and Saginaw.
Mr.. Blaine and Field Marshal Matt
Quay are at liberty to use these facts in
their new political catechism for the
present and coming generations.-[E Elk.
