A Fire Record Which is Unprecedented
 In the City's History.


 A high wind has been prevailing in this section for the past forty eight hours, and inside of twenty four of that time, four fire alarms have been turned in. In two in stances the loss has been nominal, but in the fire at the Chinese wash house at 3:30 this morning, and at Dukes warehouse at 1:45 this after noon, the losses are complete. The fire at the Chinese wash house is attributed to opium smoking. The building and a few hundred dollars worth of clothing, is the loss, no insurance being had.

Several thousand pounds of grain and hay, besides other property stored there, is a total loss. As far as learned no insurance was had on either the building or its contents, and aside from Mir.

Fourteen Nice Little Feet.

The great importance of children being properly shod has been fully recognized by the German emperor and empress, who have been most particular that their children should only wear hygienic boots and shoes, sufficiently wide for the toes to have proper development, and in conse- quence the six young princes and their sister have perfectly normal feet and will therefore be spared the suffering from corns, bunions and faulty nails to which most of man kind are subject. t.-Lady's Pictorial.

A VOICE FROM THE ToMe.
It Spoke Tn a Dream and Told Tale oi
 GhRstiy Horror.

l GhAstiy Horror.
 The Rev. Mir. Partridge was once the vicar of parish in the suburbs of London. He had the misfortune to lose a favorite son, whose body was inferred in vault in the church. Two nights after the interment Mir. Partridge dreamed that he saw his son, habited in a shroud spotted with blood, the expression of his counte- nance being that of person endur- lng some paroxysm of acute pain.
 Father, father" he cried, 'come and defend me- They will not let me rest quiet in my coffin. |"
 The apparition was so vivid that the dreamer awoke, trembling from excitement. He argued with him. self that it was the result of the grief he felt on account of his sons death, and after awhile managed to over come his agitation and go to sleep again. But it seemed to him that he scarcely lost consciousness when the vision reappeared, beseeching more piteously than before that his father would come to his aid, as they were 'mangling his body at that instant" " The tortured man slept no more that night, and at the break of day re- paired to the clerks house, where the keys of the vault were kept. Here he was informed that the key to the main door had been broken and the clerks son had gone to the smiths to have a new one made. Inpelled by the worst misgivings, the vicar pro cured a crowbar, by means of which the hinges of the door were wrenched of.
 The sight that greeted him caused the father to fall fainting to the floor. His sons coffin had been lift ed from the recess and placed on the brick pavement. The lid lay loose on the top. The body, enveloped in its shroud, on which were several spots of blood below the chin, was exposed to view. The broad ribbon had been removed from below the jaw, which hung down with a most ghastly horror of expression, and ev- cry tooth in the head had been drawn. The youth while living had possessed a beautiful set of teeth. The clerks son, who was both barber and a dentist, had obtained possession of the vault keys for the purpose of extracting the teeth for use in his business. New York Times

SOME GOOD CORN.

Experience is proving every day
the fact that. only intelligent farming
is needed to produce crops on the
prairies of Calcasieu that a few years
ago we're considered impossible Tor
this latitude. The idea that South
west Louisiana cannot produce good
corn is being exploded by farmers
who know how to raise the crop and
are having splendid success on Cal
casieu soil. Mr.. l. T. Welty, OF Iowa,
eleven miles east of Lake Charles, re-.
ports harvesting l25 bushels of good
sound corn from three acres OF sod
ground this year. He also reports
that MIR. l. N. Jones, formerly of Des
Moines county, Iowa, who resides
three miles from Iowa, has three
acres of corn that will yield not less
than so bushels per acre. 1t has
been estimated by some at 60 bushels
per acre.
This must be admitted as fairly
good yield for new land in a country
which has never been considered par
ticularly adapted to corn culture
The soil in the vicinity of Iowa Ii
similar to that of the entire pralrl'
region of Calcasleu parish. 1t is nj
better or no worse. What can b.
done there can be done elsewhere. p
