probably not be rebuilt. 1t has lately
been operated by the Winona Mill

which it contained. The loss on the
the building was about $4,000 and on
the grain $4,000, fully covered by in

ing machinery after unloading from

sumed this morning. Ten or a dozen
cars had been loaded, leaving the
above amount still in the elevator.
None of the cars that caught fire
were much damaged except the fiat
car, which was close to the building.
The elevator has been used as a
cleaning warehouse, to clean grain,
and was built for that purpose. The
books and papers were not saved, but
were covered up and may not be de-
stroyed. The boiler was not injured,
but the engine and other machinery
was badly damaged. The fremen
saved good deal of the wheat from
burning, and there will be consider,

on Thursday night of last week and
secured box and half of cigars, sew

however. The boy will be laid up for

Mr.. Danielson is agent, had a carload
of machinery there, valued OF 81, 200
and OF this, one-half is loss. There
was no insurance ON the machinery
Three seeders belonging to Mr.. Dan
ielson, valued at 800, burned, but the
remainder of the loss will fall on the
Plano Co. The Champion Co. also
lost four binders worth s4OO, with nc
insurance.
The fire was discovered by a boy,
who ran to the city hall as fast as pos
sible and gave the alarm. The de-
partment turned out at once, but the
building was enveloped in flames by
the time it reached the spot. Three
sections of the old White Anchor
hose burst during the progress of the
fire. The department continued to
play water on the building until two
o'clock this morning, by which time
the fire was eXtinguished.
The Chicago & Northwestern road
was completed to this city in 1870,
and the elevator was built soon after,
probably within two years. Agent
Johnson estimated its value at from
$40, 900 to $4,000, and thinks that it
was insured, but has no means OF
knowing for certainty. He stated
thatS there was between $4,000 and
10000 bushels of wheat in the eleva-

toward Front street, and turn their
attention to the ends of the building,
and to saving the adjacant frame
structures and a number Of @. q n.
w. freight cars. Several of the lat
ter caught fire and blazed up, but the
crowd soon pushed them into places
of safety before they were much dam
aged. A fiat car loaded with coal for
r. D. Hubbard & Co.'S mill was the
first to take fire and the coal was
soon blazing up, but it was finally
saved. Attentive work saved all the
other buildings in danger. The knit
ting works hose was attached and
saved John Pages house. One stream
of water was used to wet down the
ground where the sparks fell thickest
as everything was SO dry that fire
could easily have started.
1t is extremely fortunate that there
was no wind blowing, as otherwise the
fire might have spread beyond con-
troll. The knitting mills, fibre ware
works, packing house and gas works
were but block or two north, while
Hubbard's mill and elevator were
close by to the southeast.
How the fire started is mystery,
but G. A. Austin, the manager Of the
elevator, states that he thinks
that someone may have care
lessly thrown a cigar on the
ground near by which started a
fire that soon communicated with
the building. He states that the fire
when first discovered was at the
southwest corner of the elevator. He
says that at six o'clock he was in the
| engine room and started the fires I'M
der the boilers for today's business.
When he left everything was all right,
| He also stated that the elevator con.
tanned from 5000 to 10000 bushels OF
wheat. This wheat would average 81
cents a bushel in value, and it was
expected that it would be largely

The fire was first discovered at
about nine o'clock last evening, and
three minutes afterwards the alarm
was given, which called the entire
department to the spot. The flames
then had too much Roadway for it tC
be possible to save the building, anC
the heat drove the thousands of specta
tors to a considerable distance from
the burning building. The fire de
partment did most excellent service
as usual, and prevented the fire from
spreading. The wheat poured dowr
from the bins as one after another
gave way, but the building was sc

burned for several hours with fierce
heat. 1t was subdivided off into many
apartments aud filled with bins, anC
the interior burned out before thu
thick plank walls were burned. The
latter were perforated by the flames
in a thousend places, but stood III
until reduced to ashes.

Chicago, November l9.-Twelve mill
ers, representing 500 merchant Touring
mills with a daily capacity of $50, 600
barrels, met in secret session at the
Auditorium to-day to consider the prop
osition to reduce the output l00,0 900 bar
rels OF flour a day for thirty days, or
5000 900 barrels in all. The scheme was
proposed some time ago, owing to large
understandable surplus, but the recent
better demand for flour and an advance
in price has, it was claimed, changed the
complexion of the situation, and the
opinion was expressed by some of those
present that no curtailment would be
ordered 1t is not thought, however,
that decision will be reached before to-
morrow. Those present represented

Many Veterans of the Indian Wars Are
Really in Need of Aid.
OLYMPIA, Novembe 20-About twenty
veterans of the Indian wars of 1868 as
sembled in this city yesterday with a
view to taking steps toward the securing
of recognition of their claims on &C
count Of the wars with Indians. Among
those in attendance were: H. G. Par
sons, James Patterson, John de Laca-
tour, William Lemon, Green McCatferty,
b. w. Johns, J. p. Manner, Jacob OFT,
Thomas Prather, B. F. Ruth, William
Littleiohn, Marcus Mcmillan, q. w.
Shaser, John +. Hays.
Resolutions were adopted asking the
government to grant pensions and land
warrants to the Indian war veterans and
dependent widows, and that the Repre-
sentatives in Congress from the Pacific
Northwest be requested to urge these
claims. As expressed in the preamble
and resolutions, what is done in this line
should be done quickly, for these pioneers
are now few in number, not exceeding
| 900, and they are old and in many in
stances need the aid of the government
as a just reward for their past services.
