Bertha Hotel and store zsnrned-Th Losa
Nearly $40, 00O.
Pulaski News,

49, Pulaski News. f8S71g
4 About 2 o'clock Monday morning al
most everybody in Pulaski was awakened
from their slumhers by the shrek of the
zinc works steam whistle and the cry Of
ssF L, given by those who sought to
raise general alarm.
twas but very brief time, however,
before it was generally known that the
Bertha Hotel, in which was the general
merchandise store of the Bertha Zinc
company, was on fire.
b The Are proved The most serious we
have ever had in Pulaski. Its origin is
mot known, beyond the fact that it began
Fin the front of the basement OF the build
ing, under the Berthastore.
u Mrs..s w. 81. Davis, wife of Magistrate
wv. III Davis, leased the hotel and ram it as
a boarding house. She had nearly thirty
boayders stopping in the house when the
flames broke out. The lady was awakened
BY smoke pouring into the sleeping apart
nient occupied by her husband and her
tself, and but for her promptness in going
Ito the roomssof seyeral,of her guests and
waking them, and in one case of pulling
q young man from his bed and standing
him on feet in the middle Of the floor, iii
is more than probable that some of them
must have been 1sdffocated or burned to
death.
4. After. astime successful attempt was
made with.axes to force the front door OF
the Zinc conpany's store.
The Hames, however, had made such
headway that it was impossible to get out
but 81 few articles from the front Of the
store.
There was large and fine selection Of
general merchandise in the stock, con-
siderable addition having been made
thereto only q few days before.
The attempt to get into the rear portion
Of the basement was moro successful, and
altogether some $4,000, worth of articles
were gotten out. The yalud of. the stock
ON hand is estimated at $23, 600.
There was some insurance on the stocks
|.but, as the policies were not kept here, il
is otknown how much.
The costof the building destroyed was
$4,000. The amount Of insurance is not
known here.

ALoER ON THE OUTLOOK.

General Alger while in Omaha,
recently, was interviewed with
reference to the political situation
and conversed very freely.
"Without doubt if Blaine wants
the presidential nomination he can
have it," said he, II find this feel
ing generally gaining throughout
the west and his acceptance is all
that is necessary. In the east I
am confident no is stronger than
four years ago. I have some
peculiar personal knowledge to the
effect that many of his most influ.
entail opponents are now anxious
to have him nominated.
Harrison is second choice, not
that his administration has not
been successful, but for the simple
reason that Blaine is the most pop
ular man in America. From my
observation through the western
states Cleveland has the lead in
democratic popular favor. His
silver ideas find injure his
chances very little. I scarcely
think the allionce will be in the
field with q national ticket"

Lieut.. George H. Harries, one of
the three commissioners recently
appointed to investigate the condi.
ton of the Sioux Indians. writes
from Pine Ridge as to the vain at
tempts to get Indians to enlist as
soldiers: The government has
been endeavoring to civilize the red
man by thus inducing him to take
up semi-warlike occupation, but
Mr.. Harries writes that the Indians
think a soldier has two many
hardships. They are specially
averse to becoming walk soldiers"
A few have enlisted as cavalrymen,
but up to date only one Sioux buck
has enlisted as an intantryman. A
company was created for him and
he is the sole member of company l..
He is the only Ogallala infantry
man in the world, and unless some
remarkable mental upheaval takes
place there never will be another
one. Continuous and strenuous
efforts have been made to secure
for him companion in arms so that
when Lieutenant McKensie says;
STwos right" he will not neces.
sarily have to obey his own COM
mand, but failure has marked
every attempt. Adjt-G General
Kelton unconsciously got off a joke
on Lieutenant Kinsie when he
officially notified that gentleman
that he had failed to make proper
return of the strength of the COM
pany for the month of May.

W. D. Moore, a Pittsburg attorney,
acting for Jacob J. Strayer, mas
sued Col. J. E. Unger, president Of
South Fork Fishing and Hunting
Club, to recover $1,000 for dam.
age caused by the Johnstown flood
of two years ago.
Strayer lost q planning mill, lum-
ber-yard and other property by the
bursting of the South Fork dam.
His suit is test brought for the
purpose of ascertaining whether the
members of the club can be held
individually liable for damage to
property caused by the bursting of
the dam. 1t is based upon the
allegation that the members are
individually liable because they
had violated their charter and
failed to take the proper precautions
to make the dam safe.
1t is reported that a number of
the members are getting their
affairs in such a shape that the law
will not reach them should Stray
er's suit be successful. Messrs.
Holdship aid Thaw, trustees for
the bondholders, are having the
clubs property at the South Fork
sold by the sheriff:
The clubs membership includes
such well-known people as Andrew
Carnegie, B. f. Jones, H. w. Oliver,
John W. Chalfant, A. NJ. Byers,
Charles j. Clarke, A. E. w. Pain
ter, c. NJ. Shea, and Henry c.
Prick. The individual wealth rep
resented is over $1OO,OOO,OOO.
Mr.. Strayer's example in bring.
ing suit will be followed by others.
Hotel-keeper Lechey, of Morrelville,
for instance, has had papers pre-
pared claiming damages as large
as those claimed by Mr. Strayer.
Boise is in the throes of a city
election. The straight.out repub-
licans met and named a ticket
headed by Ed. j. C ,rtis for Mayor.
The non-partisans have named a
ticket headed by James A. Pinney
for Mayor. 1t looks good deal
like the old anti-Dubois fight over
again with the democrats using
their strength to do the most dam
age to the common enemy. The
election will be conducted under
the modified Australian ballot law
passed by the last legislature.

Bad Washouts Reported I'm North Dakota

Specials from various points in North
Dakota report heavy rains for forty
eight hours, which have caused many
washouts on the railroads and much de-
6truction to property.
Between 800 and 400 west-bound pas
sengers on the Northern Pacific were
stopped at ManGan, n. ID Tremendous
rains washed out lar:e number OF

that are gone are small ones, those
OF the Heart River being all intact. The
Heart River is running bank full. and is
rising. n Mandan most of tho side
walks were lifted and scattered along
the street. Numbers Of cellars ore full,
and good deal of damage done. The
rain extended from west Of Medora TO
jamestown and poured in torrents for
several hours. This supposed arid re-
gion has enough rain now TO insure a
bounteous crop.
At Dickinson, n. D., the rain was
worse than at first supposed. Crews OF
track repairers are working both east
and west repairing heavy washouts
Westbound passengers were de aged
forty eight hours. Streams are rising
rapidly and IL has commenced to rain
again. Farmers will sustain damages
