Northwest Bates.

Ed. TINES: The first thing that
attracted my attention on my way
north from Butler was the town OF
Passaic This is a small place but
it seems to be alive to its interests;
number of good dwelling houses
have been erected in the last few
months and IL neat church is being
erected, it is being built on the Goth
ic style aud when completed will be
Il credit to this place and the com
munity. Passaic is quite a business
place especially III live stock and
lumber; it seems strange that farm
ers will come from beyond Butler
and Adrian to buy lumber at Passa
ic; there must be reason for this.
1 don't think it is Mr. Woltes per
sonal beauty, but they have been
there as Mr. Wolfe has sold nearly
SO car loads of lumber and four or
five car loads of doors, sashes and
blinds in the last SIX months; Mr.
Eph Wolser has located here an d
will shelter aud feed the traveiin <
pubic. While we hail with dehght
the prosperity of our new towns yet
their life is the death Of some
of our old pioneer towns such as
Crescent Hill, Burdette, Roster ana
West Point. .. Il had the pleasure,
while in Burdette, OF viewing the
giant walnut tree that is on the
road to the railroad to be shipped
to the Columbian Exposition at Chi
cago next year; the body of the tree
only is being sent; it is TO feet long,
so feet of it being without limb
and is nearly 6 feet in diameter at
the base. When this tree is placed
on the exposition grounds it will be
grand sight. :. The farmers IN
northern Bates are about half done
planting their corn crop; the back
ward spring and dull times are dis
couraging many but a few days OF
warm weather and bright sunshine
will haye charming effect on every
thing . In my last communication
the printer made me say Balacul
instead of Balaam; Balacuis IS
gentleman l never heard of,
RAMBLER.

o'clock this evening fire was seen is
suoing from the roof of the attic

The citizens at once drew up the

that the water from the waterworks S
had been shut off from the building

was at once evident that the build

All hands at once stripped the
building of furniture, carpets, law

the two lower floors The vaults

Owing to some misunderstanding
in the late territorial Legislature, no
money was appropriated to pay fol
insurance on public buildings and
the policies were allowed to expire
The building was valued at S25,OO(
and is total loss.

The World.s Fair.

The Worlds Columbian Commission Is
beng criticised because Of its semi-official
announcement that its treasury u empty
and its credit bankrupt. for while know
Ing people understand that this is only
an alarmist move TO compel Congress to
act. millions of others less versed in the
ways OF public men get the impression
that the work on the exposition buildings
IL about to stop. However. the commission
will doubtless manage TO stand the criti-
cism If il can replenish its treasury. Con-
gress will now soon adjourn and the fair
people want to get their money before it
goes. Hence the scare.
The commission VIII hardly be satisfied
with less than $4,000, 900. and as both
national platforms endorse the enterprise
congressman generally feel disposed to be
liberal abont the matter. Besides Illinois
will be doubtful State this year. and the
politicians are not likely to permit this
momentous fact to escape notice. so
Congress must make large appropriation.
AZ we have heretofore maintained, the
national reputation and honor are in
yolved. After sending representatives OF
this government abroad 10 persuade other
countries TO participate in the exhibition
IT will not do to fail TO perform our part
fully and well.
Nor will it do for the United States to
make unnecessary stint in the appropria-
ton for naval display IN Hampton Roads.
That is as much part of the promised pro-
gramme as the opening Of the fair and
yet we see disposition TO cut the appro-
priation down from S300,0O0 to $4,000.
That will not do at all. This display
should be made creditable to the country.
II is really the most significant historical
feature of the programme, because 1t is to
zoe made upon waters which bore the
barks of the first permanent settlers upon
these shores, and for that reason Is de-
serving of great consideration from Con-
gress, and that consideration we hope 1t
will have.
We expect the fair to be well provided
for out of government funds, but 1t should
