FIRE.-At eleven O'Clock in the
evening of last Saturday the fire bell
sounded an alarm and the fire proved
TO be in the grocery store of n. G.
Nelson. When the people arrived on
the spot the smoke was pouring out of
the building in dense clouds and so
thick that it was impossible 10 enter
the building. The location of the fire
seemed so uncertain that quite large
amount of water was thrown in at ram
dom, but in short time the fire lad
dies were able to locate the destroyer
more accurately and then the effect of
the water was felt sensibly. For
about four hours steady stream of
water was kept playing upon the
building until at last the danger was
averted. An examination the follow.
ing morning showed quite clearly that
the fire started in the basement from
some cause not knawn and had obtain
ell quite a Roadway before being dis
covered. Owing to the difficulty of
reaching the flames, partitions pre-
venting the water reaching the most
dangerous spots, it was not until a
part of the foo. fell in that the effect
IF the work done became apparent.
soon after the falling of the floor the
iremen gained the advantage. The
work done by the citizens and compa-
ny was most excellent. Almost every
one worked well. few attempting to
shiI- their duty
The Joss tails heavily upon Mr.. Mel
son who had only just begun TO reap
the advantage of his industry in estab-
fishing his business. He states that
his loss was about $4,000. Insurance
$1,000. The building is the property
of Martin Wolff, and his loss is esti-
mated at about 1000, with no insur-
ance.
While the fire demonstrated the ex-
eellent work of our firemen it also
showed that our facilities for extin-
gushing fires are not what they
should be. Once or twice the build
ing would have gone had-not recourse
been had to the private pump of X. L.
Lien, and had there been high wind
it would have been impossible to have
kept the flames in check.
The moral of this and every fire we
have had on Main street is that We
should have water-works.

Thanksgiving Daz.

AS each returning year brin gs
around the nations day of Thanksgiy-
ing with its plenteous fruits, its har-
vest of good things, its ingathering
of families aud friends. we ars remind
ed of the vast difference between our
country now and The day when ship
load of provisions opportunely arriv-
ing changed fast day into a festival.
Then the land was covered with a
dense primeval forest in whose dark
shades fingered savage enemies ever
alert to strike down the lonely trav-
eler. The western prairies we're the
homes of wandering herds of buffalo
and the more savage Indians, roaming
at will over the vast plains.
Two hundred years and how vast
the difference. The buffslo and In
dian have alike almost disappeared.
Where the red mans narrow trail led
through the forest or over the broad
plain the iron rail bears each day to
crowed cities greater population
than the entire numbers of those days.
Great cities have sprung up by magic,
greater than that Of the Aladdin lamp.
Steam takes the place of the muscles
of men, and the electric lamp of the
rnsh lights of the past. Noble cathe-
drals standing where in the earlier
day missionaries preached the word of
God under the blue canopy of heaven
attest the deep reverence of man for
Deity. Mans belief, too, has assum-
ed less ascctic form, and men look
with sympathy and liberality upon the
creeds of others. For all these bene
fits to the nation and the world let u
lift up our heads in thankful praise.

Hon. E. III. Ives of Prescott died
Friday, Nov. 18th, at his home in that
city in the seventy-third year of his
age. Mr.. Ives has been a prominent
citizen of this county for many years.
Deprived in early youth of the advan-
tages of liberal education his native
energy and persistence well supplied
the want in later years. There was
in his nature geniality which awoke
response in Others to so large an ex-
tent that he was elected Senator in
this district at time when it was
largely Republican. He served his
term very acceptably and at its term
ination took an office in Prescott for
the practice of law. Soon after this
in his devotion to Dem cratic princi-
pies he undertook the publication of
the Prescott Plaindealer. In each of
these undertakings he has met with
good success. As man the Senator,
as he was most Familiarity called, was
always approachable, kind hearted
and upright. a. devoted Democrat he
was far from being a demagogue, but
gave and received partisan blows
with the best of good feeling. He
was man of the people and had very
many friends and perhaps no enemies.
The county will miss his familiar face
at its conventions and terms of court.
His adopted city will find a void
among the faces of those who meet in
familiar intercourse, for he loved to
mingle with the throng and join in
congenial Intercourse.
