Otto Moss, of Corley, Texas, is
down today. He was telling the re-
porter about taking a couple OF
Texarkana Young ladies, who spent
a couple of days and nights with his
daughter Lotta, a coon hunting
The party captured four coons, two
rabbits, and one opossum and walk
ed three miles. He said you should
see those Texarkana girls standing
around a persimmon tree with sticks
in hand to await the coon when he
was made to leave the tree. They
looked like they would fight old Har.

The editor, as also city editor,
return thanks to Messrs. Whitley
and Ryon, of the street car com
pany, for transportation over their
lines, which reads, Good until De-
cember 81, 1896, unless revoked "
The city editor, who is ever fond OF
riding, speaking for himself, hopes
the company will never find itself in
such "straits" as to calm the pass
es. The old company, we believe,
issued few books (the city editor
got two Of them), but because one
or two aldermen, who did not ride,
traded their books off for tobacco
and popcorn balls, they (the com
pany) concluded to punish the
whole outht-not excepting the
press-and took up these passes,
and issued no more,

audience OF ladies and gentlemen, the &C.
cation being the presence Of State Lect-
urer J. II. Schively, of the Ancient Order

stated that the A. 0. U. w. was the oldest
and largest fraternal death benefit socie ty

members than any other similar organi-
zation, and that it had distributed in the

dollars in any one year. which provides
fund of over one million dollars. The
credit OF the order is the same as that Of
the United States, based upon its men,
bers; who have never failed to meet
every assessment promptly. 1t never
has contested loss, and the man who
joins the order and pays his assessments
is positively assured that his family will
receive the 1000 within 30 days without
even the expense of a postage stamp.
Mr.. Schively also dwelt upon the frater-
nal features OF the order, and at the close
of the address and the last song by the
Glee club, the members and their fami-
lies participated in social half hour at
the refreshment tables provided by the

Oh BOstOnf

A funny incident-and not so funny,
after all-occurred on the Fens the 9TH
or afternoon. Two cyclists met unex-
pectedly. The woman did not turn to
the right, and the man ran straight into
her wheel, upsetting both. They scram-
bled to their feet, righted their bikes,
and glared at each other for half Sec
ond. Then the man coolly slapped the
woman's face, and jumping on his
wheel, rolled away with lightning speed.
An eyewitness Of the scene was ungal-
liant enough to applaud the act, for, he
said, it was deserved. Boston Herald.

The Weatherwax Planning Mill Burned. !

The Weatherwax Planning Mill Burned
At two o'clock Friday morning the city
was aroused by the alarm Of fire, together
with the glare of the flames which ilumi-
mated the sky. The cause was the burn
ing of the j. M. Weatherwax Lumber
Co.'s planning mill, which caught in the
boiler room either from the furnaces or
from lantern. The drykiln was running,
and the fireman Robert Gawley, had left
the boilers few moments to oil the
engine which runs the blower. Upon his
return he was met with the flames in
front Of the boilers. After an unsuccess-
ful attempt to reach the whistle cord, and
thus give the alarm, he ran out and
aroused those living nearest the mill, who
quickly sounded the alarm. So rapidly
did the flames spread, owing TO the fine,
powderlke dust which accumulates
around drykiln and planning mill, that
even in this short time the whole mill
and adjoining shed was in mass of
seething flames.
The fire department responded prompt
ly, and at once threw themselves between
the burning mill and the main mill, and
there fought for hours to save the big
mill from the flames. At times it seemed
almost hopeless, but by hard and we'll
directed efforts it was saved with but
slight searching on the end of the lath
mill. Nearly if not quite half the citizens
of the town were out. A bucket brigade
was formed, and about three O'Clock the
Hoquiam department arrived with 600
feet Of hose. The old fire engine was also
brought out and did good service.
The loss consisted OF the buildings and
the wharf upon which they stood, part OF
the machinery, and about 300, 900 feet of
fine flooring and car siding. Mr.. Wealth
erwax estimates the loss at from $9, 900 to
$4,000, with but small insurance.
Had there been the least wind in the d.
rection of the main mill or OF the city the
loss might have been many times that
amount The work Of clearing up the
ruins was begun promptly, and has been
in progress ever since. Mr.. Weatherwax
assures us the mill will be rebuilt at once.
The boilers are all right; one if not two
Of the planners can be used, and the SO, 700
blower in the drykiln will need but
comparatively small amount Of repairs, SO
that in short time the mill can be put in
running order.
