A - 900 FIRE.
The Fire In North Topeka This Morning
Was Costly One.

The Fire In North Topeka This Morning.
Was a Costly One.
There was a disastrous fire in North
Topeka this morning at 400. The two
story residence at 1406 Jefferson street,
occupied by P Fl. Gresner, was totally
destroyed. the house next door was dam
aged to the extent of 5000 or 800. and
the house beyond that was damaged
slightly.
The fire started in the Gre5ner resi-
dence from a defective hue, and men
who were passing early to work saw the
flames bursting through the roof. The
family was aroused and a part of the
household effects was taken out, but the
larger part was burned with the
structure The alarm was turned in
from box IA. and although the hremen
reported promptly it was necessary to lay
over 1000 feet of hose, there
being no hydrant near. The house
was past saving when a stream of water
was finally secured, aud it was a nip and
tuck battle to save the tWO-story house at
14O4 Jefferson, owned BY Jonathan
Thomas and occupied by Chas o. Brush
The roof was burned completely off and
the broad side exposed to the fire was
also badly burned and sc0rched but
only through the wall in two or three
places The house south OF the other
two caught fire but. was saved.
The loss on the Cfresner property is
complete amounting to at least 200
The loss to Brush and Thomas Is 6JO Or
500, and the total loss is about 81 900.

The Pope Having His Tomb Made

Although the pope is in very good
health, and is devoting himself with
ardor to the reunion of the eastern and
western churches, which is being dis
cussed by the conference of patriarchs,
his holiness has given orders for the
preparation of his own tomb. The
celebrated sculptor, Sig. Maccagnani,
has received the commission to set
about the work. The monument,
says the London Standard. which is to
be, of white Carrara marble. is to be a
sarcophagus, on which will repose a
lion with its fore paws resting on the
papal tiara. To the right there will
be statue Of Faith, with torch in
one hand and the Scriptures in the
other, and to the left a figure of
Truth, the hand laid on the coat of
arms of the Peeci family. The only
inscription on the tomb will be: HE
Leo XIII. P. NJ. pulvis est" BY his
will, the pope directs that his remains
be buried in the Basilica of st. John
Lateran.

edge to keep the water from running

a number of guests at Charlie Ben
nett's "Antlers," on Racquet lake, were
discussing the theory with Uncle Alvah
one day during the present hunting
season. One of them undertook the al
together hopeless task of convincing
the old man of the error of his belief.
Among other things he called his at
tention to the tides.
Uncle Alvah. he said, you've heard
of tides, haven't you? How do you &C
count for them, if the world isn't
round?"
The old man remained silent for
awhile and then drawled forth: Wall,

Il was enioined to secrecy and so

now comes the story.
"a short time after the marriage in

told me that his wedding was fixed for
O certain date. about two weeks ahead,
and that he expected me to perform
the ceremony. thought he was wan

that he was already tied up as tight as
the ordinances OF God and the laws OF
California could tie him. He only
laughed and said that the other little
effair was all right as far as it went,
but it did not go far enough. All the
young lady's relatives had been looking
to the event and it would never do to
disappoint them, as the first wedding
ha6 been kept profound secret, and
only the four of us knew anything
about it. So on the appointed day /
went to the house of the bride. and, in
the presence of the guests. married the
husband and wife a second time.
