The old Pavilion and quarters of the

being laid in ashes yesterday. About
o'clock in the afternoon smoke was seen
issuing from the old store-room where
the M-street entrance formerly was. No
alarm was turned in, but the hook-and-
ladder boys came down and subdued the
fire with Babcock extinguishers and
buckets of water.
The fire had got fairly started and
burned the floor and doors. Chief En-
gineer Guthrie went down after the truck

RECIPROCITY!
Every One Should Read
This!

During the past few years the term
reciprocity has been seen so often in
American print and heard so often in
conversation in certain relation and in
snch a connection that many persons
almost believe that the word and iis
meaning emanated from that great
American statesman, Jas. G. Blaine, and
from the application he made of IT, and
which has caused it to become household
word among the people of this great Re
public, Numbers only know OF 1t or
associate it with the great tariff question
that played so important q part in the
mighty election contest through which
we haYe so recently passed. But the
word has far broader meaning, a wider,
more far-reaching aud robler significance.
The highest meaning Of the word embraces
that pure, heaven born principle of Holy
writ inculcated in the teachings of the
Golden Rule "Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you" 1t teaches high
moral obligation to return equal rights or
benefits for those received, and this is
what we want to bring home to you,
dear reader of these lines. And when we
say this we mean TOU. Don't think
how badly some otLer fellow is treating us,
and how thoroughly he ought to be
ashamed Of himself, for, as the good
Nathan Of old said "ThOu art the man"l
When you subscribed for the HERALD it
was upon the basis of an honorable,

heavier outlay of cash each week than

Ere at Basic City.
SHENANDOAH NORMAL COLLEGE ENTIRELY
DBsTRo JED.
Staunton Daily News, 18th.

Stanton Daily News, 18th.
A disastrous fire occurred at Basic City
Wednesday night, breaking out about 10
o'clock in the upper story Of the Shenan
doah Normal college building, and de-
stroyed it completely, with nearly all its
contents. There 10 now no regularly or
ganzed fire company in Basic City, but
if there were it is hardly possible that the
loss in this case could have been prevent
ed. The college was large frame build
ing, containing three stories and base
ment, and it burned so rapidly that but
few of it's contents could be saved. The
greater portion of the building was
divided up into lodging rooms, occupied
by students, who lost their trunks, cloth
ing and books. The furniture belonged
to the college principal, Professor G W.
Hoenshel, and the building belonged to
the Basic City Mining, Manufacturing
and Land Company. who granted Pro-
lessor Hoenshel free use OF it for five
years from the time of its erection in
1890 to secure the establishment OF his
school at Basic City. 1t was not insured
a policy covering it having expired shor'
time ago. Professor Hoenshel obtained
permission from The company to have hi'
furniture insured, but it is not known il
Stanton whether be did so or not. Th'
loss is about $4,000. The cause Of th'
fire was defective fue. As many per
SOUS slept in the building, 1t was fortunate
that the FIRE broke eut early in the night
Professor Hoenshel gave notice to hi
students that be will reopen the schoo
Friday in temporary quarters to be ftte'
up in Basic City. There are number o
vacant buildings in the place tbst woul
answer for the purpose, and rooms 70
the students can probably be obtaine

affect unfavorably the progress OF tn
college. 1t has been quite successful

Democratic Celebrations Throughout
the County.

Saturday night last was tho Democratic
illumination, torch light procession, and
general iollif,atioo in Woodstock over
the recent great victory by that party.
The early part Of tho day promised favor
able weather, but in the afternoon the
sky grew threatening and a cold, raw wind
blew in high and piercing blasts and as
the sun dipped below the western mount
ans tie outlook was so decidedly IN
promising that many thought post
ponemnt was inevitable, and number of
people gave up all idea of Illuminating
thsir houses. As the dusk of evening
fell squads Of people on horseback and in
conveyances of all kinds commenced pour
ing 10 and it soon became evident that
large crowd would be on hand. Soon the
lights begun TO show in the windows and
by the time the procession bad formed on
the hill at the south end OF Main street
many houses made handsome display of
lights, flags and brightly colored Chinese
lanterns. The procession, which was
composed principally of mounted men,
interspersed with vehichles, made an i'm
posing par ade with their torches and
many banners. None Of the latter, we are
glad to say, contained sing Q inscription
that was offensive to any one on the other
side of the political fence. A marked and
attractive feature was a wagon con-
tanning g,ee club of fantastically dressed
singers who, to the accom- paniment of
small organ, rendered a number of jolly
and catching songs. Many Republicans
enjoyed the display and entered into the
enjoyment of the hour with as much
hearty good humor as the other side, and
number of them had their houses and
places of bushes handsomely illuminated
After passing through the principal streets
the crowd assembled on the commons
nth of the railroad, where very pretty
display of fireworks were witnessed. After
this many persons went to the Court
House where Geul. las. II. Williams and
Mr.. N. L. Walton, made interesting
speeches from a Democratic standpoint.
Everything passed eff most pleasantly,
nothing occurring to mar the enjoyment Of
any one. The Shenandoah Comet Band,
of Edinburg, and the bani from Jadwyn,
furnished music throughout the evening,
and were constantly surrounded by crowds
who could no. get enough of the music
which was so literally furnished. The
most attractive feature of the evenings
display vas the turnout of the COW boys,
lot Of youpg men, rugged out in true
Weston style, who, mounted on spirited
horses, and armed with heavy revolvers,
made display that eQualled Pawnee
BhPs celebrated troupe.
On Tuesday evening celebrations were
held in both Strasburg amt New Market.
Persons from here who visited both places
say that the display in each was very fine,
and both Places did themselves proud
The COW boys from this place went to
Strasburg where they proved one of the
most attractive features of the evenings
display. The glee club also went down
to our sister town and added much to the
enjoyment Of the evening.
