An Electric Clock.

The correct time can now always be
had by going to the Burlington depot
in this city. Last Monday an electric
clock was placed in the depot which
winds itself and sets itself, so to speak
all done by electricity. The time will
be received daily from the United
States Observatory at Washington, D,
c., at II o'clock, noon, and should the
clock be out of the way, either fast OF
slow, the hands will jump to IL o'clock
when the last tick of the code Of signals
sounds that time.
We are indebted to Agent Rice fol
the above information, which shows
him to be always carefully looking
after the mutual interest of his com.
pany and its patrons.

FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!
Four Fires is the RrcOrd for the
Present Week.
1T BROKE ANY PREVIOUS RECORD.
The Uffelman Furniture Store on West Main
Street was on Fire Last Friday, as was
also Luther College.

Last Friday between II and 1 o'clock
occurred the Uffelman fire. 1t was
discovered that fire existed in the attic
over the shop and living rooms in the
building occupied by Mr.. Uffelman,
and an alarm was Immediately rung
in. The fire department appeared on
the scene as soon as possible, and in a
half hours time had the fire entirely
extinguished. Cause of the fire not
known. Property was covered by in
surance.
That same evening friday fire was
discovered in Luther College. The
flames were seen pouring from one of
the west windows, and the college fire.
men got stream of water playing
upon the fire as soon as possible. The
alarm was sounded and the city fire
department responded, and with their
aid the fire was put out.
The fire originated in sleeping room
on the fourth floor where lighted can
die had been left sitting on the floor.
When the candle was consumed fire
caught in the floor and burned quite q
hole through that and then spread and
burned hole through a side wall and
then up and through the ceiling into
the attic and out through the roof.
This was close call and had it not
been for the water works the building
would surely have been entirely de.
strOyed.

wish to go together; that It is carried
on in a strictly business way; that APP
plicants with any evil intents are barred
at sight; that we have good time, and
that is what everyone is looking
for; and that We are the club that de-
mands respect and in return gets the
laugh; but our good works go on still

former says.
when before your honorable COM
mlttee, in December. comm, Nded the

gold only at that time, under the con-
dltions then OF extraordinary weakness
OF NAe treasury, added that the
United States was (earlier) able to
redeem grenbaclSs and treasury notes
in silver and laugh at such conse-
quences.'
Under the profound conviction that
the present condition of the treasury
reserve and liberal accommodations Of
idle money in New York and other
money centers afford together new
opportunity to do SO safely, write to
beg you to urge the secretary of the
treasury to exercise the option con-
ferre. upon him by law to redeem
the United States notes in standard sill
yer dollars
''rhe treasury reserve is now com
posed OF about Sos, 900, 900 gold and
only about Sl5,OO0OOO OF free silver. II
the secretary will instruct the tressur-
er and every assistant treasurer OF the
United States TO meet demands for
the redemption of United States notes
and treasury notes in standard silver
only, and continue the instruction for
a reasonable time, the achievement will
be, in all details and in every respect,
a happy one and no more interest
bearing debt will need to be created.
on the other hand, II the secretary OF
the treasury still negleots this oppor-
tunity, the neglect may prove one
more just ground for fault finding with
his administration on public finances"
To this letter Mr.. Springer replied.
In answer to your letter, permit
me to say am under the profound con-
victlon that the present condition of
the treasury reserve and liberal ac-
cumulatlons of idle money in New
York. together. afford a new opportun-
ity for you to exercise the discretion
conferred on you by law to pay all
checks at the bank OF which you are
president in standard silver dollars
IL you should pursue this coure, for
a reasonable length OF time, the
achievement would be in all details
and in every respect happy one. On
the other hand, If you should neglect
this opportunity, the neglect may prove
one more ground for fault finding with
those flnanciers who preach one doc
trine and practice another"
