The carclessness Of o people about fire
is the cau-e Of a great deal Of destruction of
property, and the only strange thing about it
is that many more buildings are not burned
down every year. The rink building, at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Pearl street, had
a narrow escape from destruction recently,
but sheer good luck left It standing, Some
an old bushel basket that stood Just outside
the door. In the ashes were some live Goals,
and these smoulderod for some time, burning
the basket and charring the wooden door
posts of the house. Fortunately the fire
went out Of its own accord before any very
serious damage had been done, but there
might have been a big loss to the owner of
the property.

WENT OUT WITH a RUSH.

Heavy Rains Start the Ice Going in the
Cedar River Damage Done.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, March 4.-(Special
Telegram to The ~Bee.)-Hcavy rains caused
the Cedar river to raise between three and
four feet in a few hours today, carrying the
ice out in the river, About fifty feet of the
dam was carried out with the ice. When
the water goes down it will lower the water
above the dam about four feet, exposing the
inlet pipe from which the city gets its supply
of water, thus making a water famine immi-
nent unless repairs are made Immediately.
The rain is still falling in torrents.

This aroused the enmity of the citizens
and threats against the officers were freely
made. That night the State Constables
went to tho station to take the train for
Florence. So great was the indignation of
the citizens that large crowd had assem-.

ed and it was soon evident that serious
trouble would result. The Constables
grouped themselves along the platform
and the excitement was at fever heat.
