ANOTHER SEATTLE.
The Spokane Falls Fire Proves
as Disastrous as That Of Its
Neighbour.
Over Thirty Blocks Burned, With an
Estimated Loss of About "a.
100000.
An Iowa Town Narrowly Escapes Dcs-
trnction-Cyclones In Indiana
and. Kansas.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Aug. 6.-The
entire business portion of the city, with
the exception of one mill, was destroyed
by the fire Sunday night. The loss will
reach $1,000, 900. The blaze started in
lodging house on Railway avenue, at b
o'clock .. M, and burned until morning.
A large number of frame buildings and
several grain elevators were near the
lodging house, and soon after the fire
broke out they were ablaze.
A strong. wind was blowing toward
the city at the time, and the blaze was
soon beyond the control of the fremen.
The fire leaped from street to street and
nothing could be done but let the flames
have their own way until they reached
the river and then endeavor to prevent
the fire from reaching the buildings on
the opposite side. The flames swept
through the city and one business block
after another was consumed, everything
being burned to the waters edge.
The fire department was stationed on
the other side of the stream and prevent
ed flying timbers from setting fire to the
buildings there.
Only few dwellings were destroyed,
as the residence portion of the city was
not visited by the fire.
The burned district includes all that
part of the city from the Northern Pa
cific railway to the river and from Lin
coin to Washington street. Several per-
sons are known to have persisted, and
several more were injured by leaping
from windows.
Charles Davis of Chicago, a guest at
the Arlington house, was awakened by
flames bursting through the door of his
room on the third floor. He jumped
from the window and was
sNOCKINGLY MANGLED
and died in few minutes. A woman,
whose name is unknown leaped from
the second story of the Pacific hotel and
was killed. The fire spread with such
astonishing rapidity that it is believed
many were shut OFF from escape before
they were even aware of their danger. A
dozen large buildings were blown up with
giant powder by the orders of the mayor
but even this proved futile. The North
ern Pacific railroad is probably the heav-
lest loser, the magnificent new freight
warehouse being destroyed. Their loss,
Including freight burned, will reach
about 81, 0OU, 600. All provisions and
supplies were burned, and there will
necessarily be much suffering for several
days. Appeals for help have been sent
out, and Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and
several-neighboring towns have already
responded.

DIR. Robinson's Call to a Chair.

The faculty of an Ohio Medical Col
lege has offered DR.. E. B. Robinson, of
this city, the professorship of Anatomy
and Clinical Surgery N their institution.
The offer is an unsolicited and unex-
pected event and the acceptance of
which is now held under consideration
by the doctor. We consider the tender
ing of this professorship III this college
will not only be highly gratifying to the
doctor but to his many friends who
have marked for years his progress in
the study of medicine. We believe IN
this is shown proper recognition of
medical skill. We have always known
DR.. Robinson to be laborious student
and his tri ps to Europe have indicated
that he has spared neither time or
money in perfect G himself in his
chosen profession. Undoubtedly the
doctors active work and lectures deliv-
cred in the Wisconsin Medical Societies
brought him into notice of physicians
who had part in the recommendation to
the faculty of this college for this posi-
ton. His activity in investigating
medical subjects would make him
suitable instructor for such a chair.
Since the doctor located in our city it
has been evident on all hands that he
has had one Of the largest practices in
the county. He has often been called
to surrounding cities in consultation
with other physicians and to perform
surgical operations. While we would
be glad to see the doctor further
advance in his profession by better
opportunities, we would be sorry to
have him leave where he has made
hosts of friends. We hope he can
forego the temptation of such position
and remain with his old neighbors and
friends

Pittsv1lle Items,

The railroad bridge across the Vel
low River at Dexterville Junction
caught fire Monday night. shortly after
midnight; but the fire was seen from
passing train and put out before any
serious damage resulted.
Over $50 men are now employed in
cutting out and grading the roadway on
the extension of the NJ, D. & n. R'y,
and about % men are employed in get
ting out ties. The management is push
ing the work with all the force availa-
BILE, and is making fast progress on the
borders of Wood and Clark counties.
In all probability the new extension
will reach Neillsville this season.
Gerth's saw-miIl, situated about two
miles south of New Dam on the Green
Bay road, burned to the ground Tues
day morning The mill and machinery
with the exception of the boiler and
engine which were in a L, was totally
destroyed. By timely and unceasing
efforts the fire was kept from spreading
to the lumber piles, so that only small
amount of lumber was burned. The
origin of the fire is supposed to have
been spark from the smoke-stack,
which readily ignited the dry roof of
the mill, and was well under way be-
fore discovered. The loss is estimated
at about $4,000. Insurance, 81 900. The
mill will be rebuilt as soon as possible.
An exchange says there are more
young men in the penitentiary in this
country learning trades than there are
outside of them. The principal cause
of this is that we are educating our
young men for idle gentlemen, trying to
make lawyers, breaches, doctors and
clerks out of material that is needed
for blacksmiths, carpenters, merchants,
and other honest "hewers of wood and
drawers of water" tits a mistake, and
big one, to teach our boys and girls
| that labor is a disgrace, and do nothing
for living is more becoming to society.
1t is rotten to the core and is running
our country to-day; and there are sons
and daughters who are now being edu-
Gated to play the leading lady " and
leading gentleman" in the leading
drama of life, who will light out for the
poorhouse or penitentiary before the
curtain drops on the last sad act of the
play to which they have been educated
by their too indulgent parents.

BURGLARS AT MARSHEIEID

Marshfeld, May 14.-Last night bur
glars effected an entrance to the private
office of Thos. s. Norton, editor of The
Times, Of this city, by boring out the
door locks. The safe was opened and
its contents overhauled, but nothing of
value found or taken. The burglars
fortunately overlooked a small package
containing quantity of paper money
and several government bonds. The

extra night watchmen have been put on
the police force. 1t is believed the
work has been done by local talent.

Will It Reduce Drinking?

The New York Times is of the opin-
ion that high license will not reduce the
amount of liquor swallowed. In fact
there is no reason to believe that it Will,
when all the experience thus far shows
that it does not, and liquor men them
selves say it does not. Speaking of the
/ 800 saloons of Philadelphia that will
run the coming year in place of the
5000 last year, The Times says:
"When 800 saloons do the business
formerly done by 5000 it means that
every proprietor has the right to
expect that his recei pts will be quad
rupled. A saloon which now yields
profit of 81 900 year will in all probab-
ility yield from $1,000 to $4,000 when
three-fourths of its competitors have
been cut down, and this anticipation of
increased gain must necessarily make
the proprietor very cautious about vio-
lating a law that has given him such
rich plum. Many poor German who
has hard work to make both ends meet
out of a little beer shop which he has
conducted in quiet and orderly
fashion, and whose motive has been
rewarded by a renewal of his license,
has been offered thousands of dollars
for lease of his place by richer saloon
keepers who have been less scrupulous,
and who have been punished for their
violence of the law by having their
applications refused"
One thousand five hundred saloons,
does not mean any severe restrictions
for a city the size of Philadelphia
That saloonists grow richer. even if
fewer, is no cause for rejoicing to tenn
perance people.

NEW STYLE OF LOVER.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox asserts
that "the average woman prefers egot-
ism to timidity in lover-roughness to
cowardice." 1t takes pretty bold man
to go counting in this land where author
esses of passion run riot. The timld
lover should get over his timidity as
soon as possible. The Wheeler-Wilcox
-Rives-ChanIer idea calls for piracy
rather than piety. The young man who
is in love has to swagger good deal
and look wicked with all his might to
come up to the requirements. Any
thing can be excused but modesty. 1t
is about time for the Wheeler-Wilcox-
RivesChandler idea to go.
