forenoon at 11:25 and was totally des-
troyed, loss about $1,000. The heroic

Fred Gantz, two firemen, were severely
overcome by heat and it was with
great effort that they were revived.

The city council has notified the
school board that it will have to put in
sewer to carry the sewage from the

Thanksgiving Day.

This has been distressing year. A
cloud of adversity has lowered over
the business world. Fortunes have
been swept away, and those who have
heretofore rested in the comforts of a
home we'll supplied with the necessi-
ties of life and the satisfaction of
steady employment, have been reduced
to want and enforced idleness. To
many it has been struggle for a
meagre existence. To add to this de-
plorable condition, drouth probably
never before equalled in the history of
the country, has robbed the husband
man of the fruits of his toll and short
ened the means of subsistence to many
of the poorer classes. A general review
of the year and it's calamities would
cause the unthinking person to declare
that it is rather time for sorrow and
tears than for joy and rejoicing. But
let us see. In the first place let us re-
member we are not the arbiters of our
own circumstances. Weare pensioners
on the bounty of Divine Giver, who
when he wills withholds his bounty, to
teach us the lesson of gratitude and
dependence. That we have been
guilty of ingratitude and forgetfulness
in far greater degree than the slight
punishment meted out to us, no one
will deny; and it should be cause for
thanksgiving that we have been dealt
with so mercifully. The present bust
ness conditions are the result of our
own mismanagementa and misrule. We
should be thankful that the tide has
turned and that by the voice of the
people in their ballots the wrongs will
soon be righted. We have been fault
finders, grumblers and back-biters al
most every day of the long year, let us
on the morrow "Count our Mercies" as
the good old lady said. They are abun-
dant and far beyond our ills. We are
at peace, we are in health. We are not
in dire want or distress, glad sun
shines, and a thousand blessings crown
our lives that go by all unnoticed. Let
us assemble in Gods house and pour
out our hearts in gratitude to the
"Bounteous Giver of All Good for his
manifold mercies and blessings to us
as his dependent children.

this amount having been made through
defense, it will be remembered,
warning of renewal of the
modus vivendi, and, this fact being event
ually proved conciusively, the secretary of
state at Washington City informed the
British ambassador. Sir Julian Pauncefo.e.
that the officers making the seizure orig
inally had misunderstood their instruc-
tons, which required them to turn over
any captures to the British ships on the
Bering sea patrol. Not long after for
mai offer of return OF the schooner
aud equipment was made to the owners
through the American consul and the Gus
tom house here, but this was declined, the
contention of the owners being that, being
proved in the right. they should not be
put to the loss occasioned by the American
government. Then claim for damages
was filed, IL being understood that it
would no. be opposed, but merely adj
justed as TO the amount, and here the
creditors of Charles Spring. the owner OF
the schooner having failed, rested.
1t now appears that Capt. Pickney and
his crew, growing tired of awaiting for
their pay, hit upon daring expedient.
