Close Call from Total
Destruction.

vented the Spread of the

early hour this morning destroyed the
Rogers block, the principal one in the viii
iage, two saloon buildings and Il vacant
store, entailing loss Of between $4,000
and $4,000; insurance, $1,000. 1t was
only through the heroic efforts of the
citizens that the entire town was not
wiped out.
The fire originated in the rear of the
Rogers block on Main street. 1t was
only few minutes when the entire
block was in flames. Every man
and boy in the village responded quickly
to the fire call and the bucket brigade
performed excellent service. The flames,
however, burned so tiercely that the fire
spread to the adjoining saloon of Solzrud
and Engen. Next came L. Solbergs sal
loon and a vacant store owned by a. ).
Sturthout of Sparta was next destroyed.
Tor a time it looked as if the whole
town would go, but extra efforts on the
part of the citizens kept the blaze at the
store building.
The Rogers block was occupied by the
following persons: e. Ekern, general
merchandise; George Parsons, restau>
rant: DR.. Sonnickson, Office and library;
Mr.. Kyle, dentist. The families of Oliver
Snow, Mrs. Lockwood and Il. w. Porter
occupied rooms on the second floor and
lost all their furniture and household
goods

twitching about the nerves of the face
which showed suffering. NO" said the

the word-renowned cure for it. Did she
try it? Yes and was cured by it and

The use of the great remedy for pain will
not bring about a marriage, but in it's
cure of pain it will bring about condi-

who is sufferer from chronic pains.

DENVER BANK CLOSED.
Union National Forced Down by
Poor Business.

DENVER, Col, July 29.-The Union
National bank, of which R. w. Wood
bury is president, was closed today.
It will liquidate it's affairs and go out
of business. The Union bank was
closed during the panic of 1893, but
subsequently resumed business, and
later was consolidated with the State
National bank, which also closed dur
ing the panic. 1t is said the deposit
tors will lose nothing, and business
will not be seriously affected. The i'm
mediate cause of the closing of the
bank was its loss of business. In its
published statement of July II depos-
it's were given as about 100000. Since
then the deposits have dwindled to
$634, 900. The bank loans and discounts,
according to the last statement,
amounted to $1,O5S, 1874. 1t will be pos
sible to pay a. dividend of % per cent
to depositors from the resources on
hand, inside of ninety days, and ac-
cording to a statement of the clearing
house all depositors will be paid in
full, without the necessity of making
an assessment upon the stockholders.
The banks capital is S500,000, divided
among 400 persons. David H. Moffatt,
president of the First National bank,
said today that the closing of the
Union would not have any bad effects
upon business, nor cause any embar-
rasSment to the other banks.

EASTERN SPORTS CONFIDENT
THAT TEXAS WILL WITNESS

DAN STUART CAN FIX 1T UP.
POOL AGENCIES OPENED IN ALL
THE PRINCIPAL CITIES IN
THE COUNTRY.
ONE ESTABLISHED IN ST. PAUL.
Bets of All Kinds offered by the
Bnckers of the Book on All
the Fights.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Gov. Gull
berson's edict adverse to pugilistic
encounters in Texas does not seem
to have had much effect on the sports
who take a deep interest in pugilism
in this vicinity. They all believe
implicitly in Dan Stuart's ability
to bring off the big fight at Dallas.
AS side shows" the O'Donneu and
Maher and Ryan-Smith fights have
also engaged the interest of the
sporting fraternity. In the uptown
hotels tonight the lovers of pugilism,
who never lose an opportunity of
making a wager on sporting event,
gathered and discussed the posi-
bility of Stuart's scheme coming
out on top. Word was received from
New Orleans that pools had been es-
tablished there and at Louisville,
Hot Springs, Memphis, Galveston,
Jacksonville, Atlanta, Pittsburg, San
Francisco, st. Paul, Pueblo, Kansas
City, Ell Paso, Chattanooga, Cleve-
land, Detroit Toledo, Columbus, In
dianapOliS, Boston and New York,
where the following odds can be OBJ
tanned: 400 to 600 against Corbett;
500 to 400 against Fitzsimmons; 600
to 700 against O'Donnell; 700 to 800
against Maher; 400 to 500 against
Ryan; 500 to 800 against Smith, 400
to 500 that the -Fitzsimmons
bout does not last twenty rounds,
and 400 to 500 that it exceeds twenty
rounds; 400 to 500 that the O'Donnell-
Maher bout does not last twenty
rounds, and 400 to 500 that it exceeds
| twenty rounds; 400 to 500 that the
Smith-Ryan bout does not last twen-
ty rounds, and 400 to 500 that it ex-
ceeds twenty rounds. Combination
betting: 500 to 100, Corbett to win
| and pick thee Their two winners;
800 to 100, Fitzsimmons to win and
| pick the other two winners.
The hackers of the book are so
confident that Gov. Culberson's re-
cent proclamation will not hold wa
| ter that they offer the tempting
odds of 300 to 100 that the fight will
take place in the state of Texas.
In sporting circles tonight the ma
| jority of those who are on the in
side expressed themselves as being
| perfectly satisfied that Stuart
knew his business and Dallas would
get the fight.
