Gus Holmes has returned from Chi

something more substantial; matters Of
business.
Dennis C. Eichnor is a candidate for
the office of United States attorney and
a we'll signed petition is being circu-
lated in his behalf. Dennis is bright
young man-aS able as many of those
who have been mentioned for the place,
but the chances are that he will never
land there. The Brown-Rogers con-
tingent have made a newer of wood
and drawer of water of him through
the campaign-he left all his friends to
take part for McKinley-and now when
the spoils are to be divided he will dis

small deputyship to be apportioned to
him. 1t is said that republics are I'M

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
TOTAL LOSS WILL AGGREGATE
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Captain Donovan's Home Goes Up In
Supervisor Heath Is Destroyed.

The residence of ex-Police Captain
joining residence of Road Supervisor
Heath on Capitol avenue. burned to the
ground last night. The total loss will
aggregate about $4,000.
1t was about $3.50 o'clock when the
alarm came in TO headquarters. The
chief and his laddies We're in the midst
of the festivities attendant upon the
opening of the new fire station, and
when the gong sounded the guests were
given an illustration of a fireman's
life-always ready for duty.
The steamer and hose,ewagon went
out. Capitol avenue is between Tenth
and Eleventh South streets, off State,
so that before the department arrived
on the scene both houses were in a
mass of flames. There are no electric
lights in the neighborhood and very
little water so that it took some further
time before hose could be brought to
play on the burning mass. The suction
jump was brought into use and water
obtained from an irrigation ditch in
sufficient quantity to eXtinguiSh the
fire.
The Donovan residence in which the
fire started was a two-story frame
house valued at $500. Members of the
family did not discover the flames I'M
til good portion of the upper story
had been consumed, the fire, it was
supposed, originating from a defective
chimney. The alarm was sent in with
out delay and neighbors aided in re-
moving the furniture, a greater por-
ton of which was saved. The Heath
residence being only a few feet distant,
and also of wood, was unable to with
stand the heat and soon caught fire.
1t blazed as though constructed of
paper and it was with difficulty that
the furniture was saved. The house
was practically leveled to the ground
and the loss will amount to $1,000
Mr.. Donovan's property was insured
for $1,000, but it was not learned
whether Mr.. Heath carried any in
surance or not
