Fifteen Hundred Peop'e Made Homeless
Vi. bya Devastating Fire. ..
WEST SUPERIOR, WIS, July 25.-The
town OF Iron River, Wisconsin, 40 miles
east of here, was wiped out by fire yester-
day afternoon. The entire business district
and buildings of the Northern Pacific and
Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic were
burned, together with most of the resi-
dence district. The loss is roughly esti-
mated at 5000, 900. The fire originated in a
store building two blocks south of the North-
ern Pacific depot. The big saw mills half
Q mile from town escaped.
As soon as it became evident that the
town was doomed, all efforts were directed
in saving personal effects. The 800 in
habitants are in the smoking streets without
shelter. A train of freight cars was sent
out by the Northern Pacific in
which people may store the effects
they have saved. The town was
practically without fire protection. Before
the Superior fire department got out of
town they were recalled by message
stating that it would be too late for
service. Many Superior people are heavy
losers. The town of Iron River was practi-
cally built this summer. 1t was mill
town growing rapidly.

RAISING TAXES on RAILRoADs

Mississippi Lrgis aturs Incrfns-s the
Amount Paid by 200 Per Cent.
JACKSON, Miss, July 25-Under en- act of
the late Legislai ure railroads doing business
in this State are required to pay an ad
yalorem tux instead of the privilege tax, as
heretofore. 1t is urged that some roads, In
view of the imposition, will be compelled to
stop business in Mississippi. The total rail-
roads Of the State, 2459 miles, last year paid
privilege taxes amounting to s2l2. .s95. Under
the ad valorem law the taxes will be much
greater The Railroad Commission, which
finished its 1abors Inst night, put the as
sessed valuation of all til" roads ut $40 co.,
01O beiu. an increase OF s32. 900 00O over the
valuation rendered by tine roads them
selves
On the s4o. o. o. COO the State levies n tax of
mills. The counties will levy from IL to
I21l mills, and the levee districts through
which the roads run may collect additional
taxes tor levee purposes. On an assessment
OF $40 900 900 it will be seen the lowest pos
sibie State and county tax is s8l2, 900, and q
larger tax may be imposed. 1t is possible
the valuation made by the commission may
be slightly reduced, but even then the law
will be burdensome. Express, sleeping car
and telegraph companies are taxed III the
same way, but their valuation here is small.

The Northwest Has Showers but They Bring
No Cooling Influence.
ST PAUL, July 25.-Although local
storms lowered the temperature throughout
the Northwest the weather still continues
uncomfortably warm and there is no i'm
mediate prospect of much cooler weather.
In this city but two fatal cases of sunstroke
have been reporsed, those occurring Satur-
day when the heat was the most intense.
The hot wave extended all over the North
west During the day to-day in this CITY
the mercury lowered around 900 and at Z
o'clock tonight was at $40, or 100 higher
than last night
The reports from this State, the Dakotas,
Montana and the Canadian Northwest are
to the same effect, but the results in this
section do not seem serious. Only a few
prostrations have been reported during a
week of hot weather. 1t is believed the
effect on crops will be good The intense
heat bothers the farmers much less than the
ar that they will have no help to harvest
cir big wheat crop. Although the rail-
ads have made very low rate for har-
st hands, the demand is very great.

Kerwin and c. n. Bell, being the result of an

Hickman said yesterday, sin 1884, while
living in Terre Haute, Ind. I have been
working at it at odd times ever since. just
before beginning it two of my daughters
my mind from my overwhelming sense of
desolation and bereavement. The hardest
task has been to collect the. scraps for the
different squares from different States and
countries. All this has been done by corre-
spondence, and l have letters from many
noted persons. All that 1 now lack to COM
plete the quilt is one square to represent
New Mexico and another for Indian Terri
tory"
Ihe square representing the different
countries of the world at large contains silk
scraps from Honolulu Sandwich Islands,
Wales. Sweden, India, Germany, England,
Scotland, ireland, Mexico, China, Japan,
France, Canada, and other distant lands;
also bit of bridal gown worn in Nova Sco-
tia in 1775; scrap of Ella Wheeler Will
cox's wedding dress; pieces of gowns worn
in England during the War of the Roses,
and various interesting relics of revolution
ary times. Some Of the scraps are 200 years
old.
All the squares handsomely embroidered
with silk, and Mrs. Hickman intends to add
still further to the beauty of her
great work of art by painting landscapes
and floral and historic designs on some of
the squares.
