werethe Clothes II the otean,
IN Laundry on SUNDAY
w s-;. 7, Monday @ ANS "a

About 8 O'Clock Sun lay morning
the steam laundry Il Of :, w. q.
Ridgeway, located near the river at
tho end nf Kidder street. was dis
covered to be fire. The flames had
burst through the roof at that time
and made such a great light that
many thought that that end Of
town was on fire. An alarm was
turned in to which the department
responded promptly but toa late to
save anything as the interior OF the
building was in flames and the roof
about to fall In when they arrived.
The water was turned ON and the
firemen did good work in saving the
new building of the Peoples Ice com-
pany which was only a few feet dis
tant. 1t is thought that the fire
originated from the fire under the
boiler in the back part of the build
ing al it was there the flames first
broke through the roof.
The building and outfit was
valued at $500 and there was an
insurance ON it of $500 $3.50 on build
ing and $3.50 on machinery and fix
lures.
Had the fire occurred at any other
time the loss would have been much
greater as Mr.. Ridgeway would have
had more clothing to pay for.
The insurance was carried in the
Capitol Fire Insurance company,
represented in this city by Victor
Schallern. Mr.. Ridgeway will re-
sumo business AS soon az a suitable
building and new machinery can be
procured. In the meantime he will
have his work done in the cities
without Inconvenience or additional
OK pense to his customers.

With the Party Now.

The Populist paper here, the
Peoples Press, died with the old
year. AS stated in our last issue it
was quite evident that the paper
would not appear this week and on
Monday it was sure thing that the
paper was a thing of the past when
the plant was levied upon by Mar
shall DAZZLING in the name OF the Bank
of Long Prairie. Will I.uth also
holds a note against the company
and will sue to recover and w. W.
West, the late editor of that sheet,
will also sue for back wages. When
all of these are satisfied there won't
be much, If anything, left Of the

A Proposed Colony.

Oflate there has been considerable
talk, mostly among members OF the
&. A. R., of the colonization scheme
of i. N. Fitzgerald OF the American
Tribune. Martin Scott, of the brick
ward, was in the city Saturday, and as
he is president of the sub committee,
the reporter approached him upon
the subject. He says that the object
is to organize stock company with
a. capital stock of $5O0,O0O, divided
into 1000 shares of $50 each. With
this amount they propose to pur-
chase a tract of land in some state
where the climate is warm and
beautiful. At present the lndlca-
lions are that they will locate III
Georgia, although eight other states
want them, Here they will get the
tract of land in a square, if possible,
and in the center OF it lay out city
of J, 200 acres. On the outskirts OF
the city tracts of five acres will be
laid out and increase in size until ut
the outside of the tract there will be
farms laid out of one hundred acres
EACH Every other tract, of either
farm land or city property will be
reserved for the general colony and
allotted to the share holders. while
the other tracts will be improved
and sold to Others. Mr.. Scott is
quite enthusiastic over the prospect
and says that already there have
been two hundred shares sold in this
county and the money is deposited
in the German-American bank.

been county auditor for ten years,
and will continue two years longer.
He was defeated by valentine E.

could not qualify as auditor.
FOR the office of county treasurer
there ia a contest between JOS. L..

held the office three and a half years.
and p. x. Lafond, Independent Re-

All ths Counties of aouthorn Csitforuia
to Be Insiuded in tho District.
Details OF tho Plan.

Moi. A. W. Barrett OF this city lei
yesterday for Sacramento. having in hii
inside pocket document which con-
tame something OF special interest to
the people OF Southern Caiiforni,.
The document 10 nothing more nor
less than the draft OF an act which will
be introduced in the legislature looking
to tho ssta blishment OF Southern Cali
fornia state fair to bo held annually in
Los Angeles, to be for Southern Califor =
mia what the Sacramento stats fEir lie
for Sacramento.
The act will state that the fsir is to be
held for the purpose Of exhibiting the
industries, products aud stock OF the
southern counties OF California. The
counties enumerated to be embraced in
the district are Los Angeles. San Diego,
San Bsrnardino, Ventura. Santa Bar
bars, San Luis Obispo, Kern. Inyo. Or
ange, Riverside. and such others as may
hereafter be created within he limits OF
the district.
The annua! fair is to be conducted
under the direction OF q board OF man-
ayers, consisting OF the directors of Ag-
ricultural association No. 6, now con-
sisting OF this county alone. and one
resident OF each of the other counties
named. other than Los Angeles. These
members Of the board OF directors are
to be appointed by the governor, and
Gre to be classified and serve for one I,
two or three years, according to their
class.
The officers OF the state a7sociati on
thua created are to be the president and
secretary OF the Sixth district associa-
ton now in office, and treasurer and
committees are to be appointed fro m
tho full membership.
The fair is to be held annually in Los

Tho plan of holding q state fair in this
city does not contemplate nor involve
the doing away Of the Los Angeles

similar to that held at Sacramento an
nually.
During the last six years about 5000
has come south of Fresno in premiums
and awards from the state fair, and 1t is
not Amiss to cay that the counties in
cluded in this plan take no interest
whatever in the Sacramento fair. The
organizers Of the present movement
have considered the action now under
way for some time.
The Sixth District association receives
something like $4,000 annually from the
state appropriation. and though the
matter Of appropriation lie not mentioned
in the bill as 1t will be presented for
consideration OF The state Legislature. il
is expected that something near $40, 00O
can be secured for state fair in Los
Angeles annually.
This matter of money will be left for
