A little catch phrase like "No Fancy
Prices" is so often heard that after
awhile it ceases to attract attention. AL
the same, there are such things as fancy
prices, and many time they are paid
by those who really think that they are
getting good bargain. There is a mar
gin of legitimate profit beyond which no
dealer Is justified in going. The only
sure way Of keeping within it is for the
dealer to so regulate his outlays that
reasonable return on them will serve his
purposes. There is an art in buying as
we'll as in selling and when We buy We
have our purchasers in mind. You can
be sure that you are contributing to no
fancy margin when you buy Of us.

MINNRApo1Is, MINI. February 2G.-The
FIRE that started in the Clare-Speaker paint
works. Fifth street, last night at mid
night is still raging, and has proved to be
the most disastrous fire Minneapolis has
experienced in years. At 8 o'clock TINS
morning it is still burning, although pro-
badly under control, but the damage TO
property may be nearly $1,000, 900, most Of
which is to the Lumber Exchange, q mag
nificent twelye-stOrv block at Fifth street
and Hennepin avenue, the Robinson block,
and the Russell block. The last named,
owned bv Sol. Smith Russell, the actor, are
completely ruined. The fire caught in the
upper stories OF the Lumber Exchange,
which was claimed TO be tre-proot. and
burned fiercely. The water did not reach
above the seventh or eighth story, and the
fremen were nearly poweriess. st. Paul
was called upon for aid. and responded
with two engines The thermometer was
below zero last night. and the intense cold
delayed matters a great deal, as the. hose
kept freezing, and nearly every time
wheel crossed il the hose burst.

RATED.
Ldtpr.-After a fight of eleven hours the
fire department succeeded in combining
10 the four upper stories of the Lumber
Exchange the flames which it was thought
at one time would certainly consume the
building. The structure looked like verl-
table ice-palace after the fire. The walls
as high as the hose can throw water, six or
seven stories. are covered foot thick with
ice, and the sidewalks against the building
are piled from five % eight feet high with
ice formed from the water running down
from above. The losses have been greatly
exaggerated, being placed as high as $780,
OOO The total loss. however. foots up to
100000 practically all insured.
