The following are some of the
reasons why l can positively rec
ommend these investments =
I. The Red River Valley is one
of the best farming regions in
the void, is we'll settled and
prosperous, and HAS NEVER
HAD A FAILURE OF CROPS.
2. Loans there have much LAR
j., GER MARGINS OF SECURITY
than similar loans east and
interest is paid more promptly.
8, An experience of eight years
in loaning in all parts of the
Valley has given me a reliable
knowledge of lands, values
and all necessary details which
enables me to select the best
loans on My Own JUDGMENT.
4. l either know personally the
security for each loan or have
it specially examined by men
for whose good judgment and
integrity | can fully vouch.

Fire on the Worlds Fair Grounds.


No less than % fremen lost their
lives at the Worlds Fair Monday
afternoon just before 2 o'clock. At
that time the cold storage ware
house just south of the Gath street
gate caught fire in the top of the
cupola, which rises fully 200 feet
from the ground. 1t was $50 feet
long by $50 feet wide, and was con-
structed entirely of wood, covered
over with staff. The main body of
the building was five stories high.
In the centre of this rose the smoke
stack in the shape of a cupola, to the
top of which was almost 200 feet.
The base of this cupola was about
80 feet square. About so feet from
the base of this cupola there was
balcony from which another square
tower rose, eliminating in the mouth
of the smoke-stack. In the interior
of this tower and around the smoke
stack were the wooden beams and
framework on which the staff cover
ing was laid.
Scarcely % minutes had elapsed
since the fire was discovered, but so
rapid had been it's progress that the
entire tower had been burned away,
carrying with it several iremen who
were playing on the flames with the
hose from The roof. In less than two
hours from the time the fire started,
the big cold storage warehouse was
leveled to the ground a smoking
ruin.

Three weeks from next Monday the
Congress of the United States meet
in extra session, when ali eyes will be
turned on Washington, and every Re
publican Senator and Representative
should report promptly at the Capt.
tol and be ready for business when
the session opens. There is no doubt
but what Washington will be a hot,
uncomfortable place in August, yetit
is the post of duty for every Republi-
can member of Congress, and he
should stand manfully and unfinch-
ingly for sound currency and wise
legislation. 1t will be a time for
good sense and prudent action rather
than partisanship, and the Republi-
can party will expect each one of its
representatives to do his duty.

The lamentable destruction of life
and property, caused by the recent
cyclone in Iowa and Nebraska, of
which we give a brief account in
another column, will awaken univer-
sal sympathy throughout the coun-
try. The wind-swept prairies of the
west may always be subject to these
atmospheric perils, which, with scant
warning, leave ruined homes and
MANNED people in the wake of their
bosom. Science has failed to predict
with any accuracy the time of their
occurrence, and the first signal of
disaster is often a sudden concentra-
ton of air and cloud, moving at
rate of speed that makes escape from
its direct path nearly impossible.
The growth of tree planting in the
west, which has been encouraged in
some states by the creation of a hol-
iday known as "Arbor Day." is the
most practical expedient yet discov-
cred for lessening the force of these
storms.

crowd was present June Is, when

$4,000, which was the smallest at

Seeing that you have correspondents

that perhaps a few items occasionally
from this section might be acceptable to

Thompson creek is a tributary Of the
Republican river. into which it dis.
charges its never failing supply of clear,
sparkling water, at the lively town Of
Rivcrton.
Tradition tells us that this is the origi.
nal Tompson creek, 10 named in honor
Of its discoverer and first settler. and
the owner Of the celebrated colt which
gave rise to the saying: "A bigger fool
than Thompson's colt" I do not vouch
for this but. not having heard it dis
puted, | accept it as true history.
Our neighborhood, though not in
Webster county, is Just On the western

has been nc rain here for three months,
yet the dust doesn't fly, except when
some team or vehicle passes by, and
then you know on which side OF the
road to pitch your tent. for the wind is
always the same way Mt the same time
OF day. 1t is never SO hot but what we
can be DOL enough by getting in the

bother, day or night, and the nights are
cool. ! used to suppose that in a coun.
| try where there was no cold weather
there would be lots OF insects, but the
opposite is the case.
Apricot drying is over. They are cut,
put on trays, fumigatcd and set out in
the sun till dry. So you see the fogs
are not as bad here as We used to hear
they were. Peaches and prunes will be

wind storms. hail or tornadoes to destroy
life or property; no thunder or lightning
to terrorize the people, and II you do

There are no agencies to insure against

This is a great place to go camping in
