h. New Fair Association.

A number of the citizens of Phillips
county met at the Court House Fri
day last for the purpose of organic
ing FAIR Association. q. A. Spauld-
ing was chosen chairman and O. e.
Johnston secretary. A committee
consisting of p. G. S. Lowe, j. NJ.
McNay aud f. r. Drained was ap-
pointed for the purpose of soliciting
stock. Messrs. Spauldlng, Johnston
and McNay were chosen committee
on Constitution and Bylaws.
1t seems from the report of the
meeting Of the Agricultural Society
that the present association is on the
verge Of financial ruin. and that If the
people of Phillips county wish to con-
tnue an organization of that nature
something has to be done AS there
seems no way out for the old organi-
cation it is proposed to form new
one. For this purpose meeting of
the people of Phillips county Is called
for April 18th to which all are invited.
The HERALD hopes the farmers of the
county will attend this meeting and
assist in solving the financial snarl
INTO which the society finds itself.

Prairie fires are daily raging
over this and adjacent counties. Last
Thursday a fire started in Nebraska
and crossing the line burned over a
portion of Walnut township, destroy
ing hay, stock and buildings. Two
children are reported to have been
burned, but careful inquiry fails to
locate them, Tuesday u fire swept
along the south county line in To
wanda township, burning 400 bushels
of corn and other property belonging
to Mr. Stout. while Messrs. Afford
and Willis lost everything they had
Beaver township also suffered by fire
Tuesday, Il. Getteys losing every
thing he had, and MIR. Brady three
COWS, Messrs. A. Dawson, Deardon,
Settle and Davidson also lost barns,
corn. sheds and stock. 1t seems to
the HERALD that some one should be
held responsible for some of these
losses. The law IS ample, as it pro
vidps IN section 1916 of the state laws;
IF any person shall wantonly and
wifully set on fire any prairie so as
thereby to occasion any damage to
any other person, he shall, upon con-
vIction, be punished by fine not eX-
ceeding five hundred dollars and not
less than fifty dollars, Or by impris-
onment in the county jail not more
than six months and not less than ten
days, or by both such fine and inn
prIsonment. If any person shall set
on fire any prairie so as thereby to
occasion damage to any other person,
he shall be liable to the party injured
for the full amount of such damage,
% be recovered by civil action.

ANOTHER FIRE.
Frank Smith the Victim.

Yesterday afternoon about four
o'clock the cry Of fire" ran through
our city. The fire department turn.
ed out in marvellous quick time and
found that Frank Smiths barn in the
south part Of the city to be in flames.
but on arriving there found the fire
under such Roadway that nothing
could be done except to protect ad
jacent property.
TIE BARN
was long one, some forty feet long
aud twenty wide, Of one story in
helghth. A long the north side Of
the barn and Of equal length was a
hay stack. Clark Mckee, who was at
work just west of the barn, first no.
ticed the smoke, and running over to
the barn found that the fire had start
ed between the stack and barn. lie
turned his attention to getting the
horses in the barn out, ten in number.
Others assisted and succeeded in get
ting out all but one
PRINCE MANBBINo,
a promising 5-yearold, was in a box
stall near where the fire started aud
could not be rescued This horse
has been u prominent contestant at
all Of the county fairs, and was valued
by his owner a6 $500, Mr.. Smith
placed his loss at $l,00000 with ont
any insurance.
The fire department put IN about
two hours Of hard and hot work in
tearing the hay stack apart, 50 that it
could burn more freely, and save adj
jacent residences from danger should
the wind arise.
The loss is q serious one to Mr..
Smith, but he takes it very phlo
sophically and will at once rebuild.
For the present he will have his
stock at the Woodward barn. The
origin of the fire is mystery and
will probably never be known.
