BISMARCK. NORTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY,

Crescent building, which was saved by
means Of tearing down interven-
ing buildings. Owing to the rapidity
with which the fire spread, scarcely any,
thing was saved. Provisions are scarce
and will last only short time. The city
council met this morning and appointed
committee on relief. They decided
that provisions SHOULD be sent
for and the needy supplied free. The su-
perintendent Of the city water works was
denounced by the council for neglecting
his duty, he being away at the time Of the
fire. The big pumps were not connected
and as q result there was scarcely any
pressure. Had the contrary been the case.
the fire would have been easily gotten un-
der control. The militia is now in force,
and all persons without passes are forbid
den to enter the burnt district. Five out
of the seven banks destroyed were again
doing business to-day, all being located in
the Crescent block, the only business
structure left standing. Notwithstanding
the extent of the calamity, the people wear
a cheerful air and bear their losses brave ly.
Many business men have already signifed
their intention to rebuild.

Smoking In the Barn.

The man who goes about his barn
with pipe or cigar is recommended to
take out an insurance pol cy at once
from one of the old line companies.
We recommend the old line compan.
les, in such case, for two reasons:
First, such carelessness should be made
to pay as high as possible for its fun;
and second, such man ought not to
impose upon his neighbors who form
the basis of the farmers mutual com.

out causing an explosion, but he would
be very reckless man who should at
tempt it. 1t needs but spark among
hay or straw to burn down barn with
the probable loss of all there is in it.
Never do any thing which is likely to
cause fire. If fire in the barn does
occur, there is one thing that is we'll to
remember. Horses are frightened 'out
of their wits by fire. You can not lead
horse from burning barn in the
ordinary way. The best way is to blind
fold the animal. This may be done by
throwing a coat or blanket over the
head. Western Rural.
