A EDWARDS WORK

The fire department was called We'd
nesday evening at about seven o'clockto
extinguish blaze back of Geo. Peter
Hoerr's residence corner Third and
Plum streets. 1t seems that Mr.. Hoerr
had returned late in the afternoon with
a load of hay and as it was getting dark
he concluded to leave it In the alley
back of his barn until Thursday morning
when he could unload 1t. Shortly after
supper the load was discovered to be on
fire. The fire department quickly ran
the wagon out into the street and threw
the hay off before any damage was done
to the wagon. About eleven o'clock the
hay blazed up again and as the sparks
were being carried about by the high
wind it was necessary to take the new
chemical engine out TO extinguish the
flames, which it did most successfully.
1t was the merest luck that Mr..
Hoerr's barn and the other frame build
Ings In the alley did not take fire. With
the wind raging as it did there is no es-
timating the damage that might have
been inflicted if the flames once got
Roadway.
There is every reason to believe that
some one set the hay on fire out of spite
to Mr.. Hoerr, and the latter has some
idea who the person is. This is not the
first time that Mr.. Hoerr has been an.
noyed by some secret enemy. A couple
of months ago an attempt was made to
poison his horses by placing Paris green
in their feed boxes. About the same
time, he awoke one morning to find ev-
cry tree his premises girdled. Some
one had during the night taken an axe
and cut around each tree to kill it. In
this connection it might be stated that a
month or more ago some one poisoned
the well of family living in that neigh
borhood, by putting Paris green into 1t.
Words fail to express the villainy
of such acts as these. Stringing up to
the nearest telephone pole would be too
good punishment for the sneaking cow
ard who would vent his spite in such Sc
cret, undetermined WAYS.

a WonderflII Offer.

For many years the manufacturers of
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy have offered,
in good faith, $500 reward for a case of
Nasal Catarrh which they cannot cure.
The remedy is sold by druggists at only
80 cents. 1t has fairly attained a world
wide reputation. If you have dull, head
ache, obstruction of the nasal passages,
discharges falling from the head into the
throat, sometimes profuse, watery, and
acrid, at others, thick. tenacious, mu-
cous, purulent, bloody and putrid; if the
eyes are weak, watery and inflammed;
if there is ringing In the ears, deafness,
hacking or coughing to clear the throat,
expectoration of offensive matter, to-
gether with scabs from ulcers, the voice
being changed and has a nasal twang;
the breath offensive; smell and taste i'm
paired; sensation of dizziness, with men
tai depression, a hacking cough and gen.
eral debility, you are suffering from mas
al catarrh. The more complicated your
disease, the greater the number and di-
versity of symptoms. Thousands of
cases annually, without manifesting half
Of the above symptoms, result in con-
sumption, and end in the grave. No
disease is 30 common, more deceptive
and dangerous, less understood, or more
unsuccessfully treated by physicians.

STRUCK A FLOW OF WATER.

On Tuesday Contractor Brandt struck
a flow of water at the new city well at
the corner of Washington and Third
streets. The flow was found at a depth
of 120 feet, and is the same that was
found at the big mill at lis feet, the rise
in the ground accounting for the discrep-
ancy in the depth. A larger flow was
secured than at the mill, and the water
is of a much purer character, being al
most free of mineral. Mr.. Brandt con-
siders it about as pure as artesian water
can possibly be. 1t is cold and clear,
and flows out of the top of the pipe,
which is a foot or two above the surface
of the ground. The flow is about 80, 900
gallons a day. The casing has been
tapped few feet below the surface of
the street, and the water is turned into
the sewer. Drilling through the sand rock
was resumed Wednesday morning after
some delay. The contractor feels very
confident that as large a flow will be
eventually found as was secured at the
mill. The conditions seem to be the
same throughout that part of the city
There is no elimination in the supply
at the mill,

meeting at the Mankato House this
afternoon for the purpose of adopting q
constitution and bylaws. The meeting
was attended by about twenty represen-

nature. 1t is understood that there is q
rupture IN the organization caused by
the withdrawal of X. ID. Hubbard & Co.,
from the association, and the meeting
was mostly devoted to consideration of
this fact and an attempt to have that
firm come back into the organization.
In case il does not, the association will

But little could be ascertained of the
business transacted. The session lasted

1T SHOULD BE GRANTED.

The business men living along the
Gilmore branch of the Omaha road,
from Lake Crystal south, are anxious to
obtain better connections with this CITY.
AT present the trains run in such man.
ner that a very tedious delay of sew
eIal hours is made at Lake Crystal, both
for those who are coming to the city and
for those who are returning home. 1t
is impossible for anyone on the branch
to come to the CITY and spend day and
return the same day.
Major Z. B. Evans, of Garden CITY.
Tuesday, presented petition signed by
3OO business men asking for certain
changes in the time of running the FL
more passenger trains. Mr.. Evans says
that he could easily have secured LOCO
signatures. These men represent the
sentiment of the people from this city to
Gilmore. The changes asked for do not
interfere with the running of the regu-
lar Omaha through passenger trains or
with the branch or through freight
trains. The road is asked to run the
branch TRAN, which at present reaches
Lake Crystal about noon and makes
connection with the 800 p. m. train,
through to this city, arriving here about
loo p. m. 1t is requested that
this train be detained until after tae ar
rival of the 1000 p. m. train from st.
Paul. This would not only make 1t pos
sible for persons living along the branch
to spend the afternoon and evening in
this city, but will allow those returning
from st. Paul to make immediate con-
nections tor home. This would largely
increase travel ON this line. Those who
are interested in the matter might even
ask a further favor, which the road
could easily grant, and that is that the
returning accommodation should be held
in this city until about II 90 p. M, thus
those who wish, to attend any
which may be held in the city,
or an opera or concert. The Omaha
road could choose no surer way to main
tain the good will of the people of the
branch than to carefully consider the
petition, and if possible grant the re-
quests of the petitioners. Our citizens
are also interested in this matter, and
should aid the petitioners in every way
they can.
