THE promptness with which forsclos-
ure proceedings on the Union Pacific
roads followed the default in payment of
December interest, indicates disposition
to try to force the government to take
some action in self defense. It would
probably be as well for the people if the
road were allowed to go to sale. When
it was all settled there would not be SO
much wateEed stock for the patrons to
pay interest on.

NEWFOUNDLAND WITHOUT FOOD,

eminent Nearly Bankrupt, the Banks In
Liquidation and Trade Paralyzed.
At the present time Newfoundland
seems to be a good place to remain away
from. The people are without food, fuel
and funds. and the awful state of desti-
tuition prevailing there was recently
brought to public notice in a most for
chile manner by the bread riots in St.
Johns There is no circulating medium
owing to the recent failure of the Com
mercial and Union banks, the only
banks in the colony; trade is paralyzed,
few firms have weathered the storm,
there is no work for thousands of labor
ing men, and large percentage Of the
population is on the verge of bankrupt
cy, and the people are ready for any
thing that will put bread in their
mouths.
Lord Salisbury once termed the col
ony ''the sport of historic misfortunes, -
and the phrase never seemed more apt
than at the present time. In July, 1892,
half the city of st. Johns was swept
away by confagration that left II. 600
out of the 81, 142 residents of the place
homeless. The fire proved temporary
blessing, for the 81, 600, 900 of insurance
money that poured into the city revived
trade and assisted the two banks, which
were on the verge of failure. These

AT MANNING.

On Wednesday evening just about
the time we all eat, the alarm of fire
was sounded and gushes of black
smoke was seen to usher from the
CRATES over the cellar windows in front
of W. II. Potthast's store, but better
know as the Fred Moershell stand. At
first it was hard to decide Just where
the fire was, but only a moment passed
when the fire boys came tearing down
the street with the hose cart and at
once seemed to know just where to 90
as they never halted until they reached
the rear of the store, when the hose
was attached and water was soon pour
ing through the rear window and
down in the cellar where the fire start
ed.
1t seems tibet Mr. Potthast was alone
just at this time and went down cellar
with a lamp after some crooks and had
several under his arm when some one
walked into the store above which
caused him to hurry somewhat and one
of the crooks slipped and fell on the
lamp, turning it over on some cotton
batting, which, taking fire, caused
things to burn lively. The flames ran
back and up the stairway leading to
the cellar. Potthast at once yelled fire
and ran to the top of the steps and be-
gan to carry out flour that lay near the
flames, but as the smoke became so
thick and hot it was impossible to re-
main in the store until they had
quenched the flames and let the draft
carry the smoke away. 1t is hard to
estimate the damage done, but there is
no doubt but that it will run up into
the hundreds. The stock was insured.
The company has been notified and an
adjuster is expected here at any time

WEATHER REPORT.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April 80, 1895.
The past week has been very warm,
the daily mean temperature being
about degrees above normal.
A heavy local shower on Friday,
Governing a few counties in the Central
and Western districts, and more gen.
eral rains on Monday, haye given to
the larger part of the State q much
needed supply of moisture. The drouth
has become quite severe in the north
ern and eastern counties.
The conditions have been favorable
for pushing farm work. In all districts
a fair start has been made in corn
planting, with the soil in fine filth. The
area prepared for planting is unusually
large.
All reports indicate a fine stand of
small grain. The condition of winter
wheat and rye is also reported good.
The hay crop will be very light, even
under the most favorable conditions in
the future. And pasturage will also
be scant on account of the effects of

The season is fully ten days earlier
than the average of former years.

FIRE AT ATLANTIC.

The largest fire for some months
occurred this morning and the Rock
Island depot was the victim of the
flames. The alarm was turned in at
3:45 by night operator Seeley, who was
the only person about the premises at
that hour and within few minutes
water was turned on by the hose com
panles who were prompt upon the
scene. The blaze started near the
roof OF Roadmaster Farquharson's
office and spread to the main building
with great rapidity. It's origin cannot
be definitely accounted for. Only the
most timely and well directed work on
the part of the fire companies saved
the bnilding. The ticket office and
freight house were entirely emptied of
their contents, but the fire happily did
not reach that part of the edifice. The
railroad and Western Uuion wires
were cut down and communication
with DeS Moines was not established
until o'clock, when an instrument
was cut i'll out on the street. There
Messrs Seeley and Frink have sat to.
day, shaded by umbrellas and watched
by curious throng. The amount of
damage cannot be fully estimated at
this time, the general beliefs, however,
that it is not sufficient to warrant the
campany in building new depot. The
fire companies never did more excel
lent work than that of last night. -Tele-

Assessors c. T. Blanchard for the
city district, and Robert Anderson for
the county district, have completed
their annual assessment of the real and
personal property, and have returned
the books to the Court House.
The total city district valuation is
S16,S19,94O, and the total county, in
Guiding Richie, $4,575,545, a grand to-
tai Of $21,395, 1855, an increase in the
city district of about 100000 over last
year, while there is a small increase in
the country.
The number of capitations is not up
to the city enumeration, for the reason
that the county assessors do not list
closely those who are not apt to pay
their head" tax, allowing many per-
sons and particularly members OF the
moving class of single men, to escape.
The books of both assessors are in
very handsome shape, being clean and
neat, and both gentlemen have per-
formed their duties in a very satisfac-
tory manner.
