AT about one o'clock Sunday after.
noon august 9TH the fire alarm wa:
sounded and everybody who heard il
broke for the Era office as a matter OF
course, and sure enough there was q
fire. The first to arrive found the
flames roaring in the second story
of the building. The flames had
gained such Roadway that it was i'm
possible to get into the rooms to save
anything. The upper story of the
building was occupied by the pro-
r"ietor of the Era as a residence. and
fl or ten minutes before the fire
brote out Colonel Mitchell and his
wife got in a buggy and went out of
the city. The alarm 500 brought a

the property in the building. The
printing office i'll the lower story was
all moved out and saved. but in n
badly damaged condition. The house
hold goods i'll the sccond-story could
not be saved because of the fact that
the fire originated in the real rooms
in that part of the building and had
gained such Roadway before being
discovered that 10 human being could
enter the rooms. From the Ilirsch
building occupied by the NeU Era
the flames spread to the Post-oflice
building and Aug. Bierwirth's cigar
store and those buildings were sooh
reduced to ashes.
Only a part of Mr.. Bierwirih's stock
was saved and that vas badly dam
aged.
Everything in the Post-ofiice was
saved. but the furniture and the stock
of stationery sustained considerable
damage in the moving out.
When the P~ost-office building took
fire it was thought by many that all
downtown was doomed, but the Ar
cadc building having n slate roof
checked the flames from making
further Roadway TO the north and the
work of the firemen and citizens on
the buildings in the rear of those
burning confined the flames to the
three buildings that burned down.

INSURANCE.

The Casper Uhl building, occupied
by August Bierwirth, was insured for
one thousand dollars, and Mr.. Bier
wirtlI's stock was insured for one
thousand dollars.
The IIir,ch building. occupied by
the Era printing Office was insured
FOR IL thousand dollars. The print
ing Office was well insured but the
Insurance agent who insured it is
interested in the Office. and the DENO-
GRAFT is therefore unable TO get the
figures.
The Buchrmann building. occupied
by the Post-ofiicc, was insured for
fifteen hundred dollars. and the Post
Office fixtures and furniture were i'll
surcd for four hundred dollars.
F. L. Burrough and Philip Stoll.
who occupied the sccond-story. of the
ro,t-otlice building were both insured.
MIR. Burroughs law library for sever
hundred dollars and Mr.. Stoirs tailor
ing establishment for four hundred
dollars.
b. Bahn. whose residence and hard
a store joins the Uhl property on
the south. carries about twenty-five
hundred dollars on his property. His
household goods and a part of his
stock of hardware were moved out on
the street and of course he sustained
considerable loss.
The Arcade building did not burn
but the heat from the Post-officc dam
aged the south wall to considerable
extent and in all probability it will
have to be torn down and rebuilt.
The origin of the fire is not known
and probably " will be, but it is
believed by all that the torch vas ap-
piled by an incendiary, and the fact
that the fire started in a newspaper
office that has been routed by fire four
times within the last seven months.
creates a suspicion that will never be
cleared up until the guilty party is
caught and punished.

The Irarmattan or whitening WIND.

The name of harmattan has been
given n periodical wind which blows
from the interior of Africa towards the
Atlantic ocean during the three months
of December, January and February.
1t sets in with a fog or dry haze which
sometimes conceals the sun for whole
weeks together. Every plant, bit Of
grass and leaf in its course is withcrcd
rs though it had been scared by heat
from IL furnace; often within an hour
after it begins to blow green grass is
dry enough to burn like paper. Even
the hardened natives lose all OF the skin
on exposed parts during the prevalence
of this whitening wind.
