A Rcd Hot Fire

Thursday night at a few minutes after
IL o'clock a fire broke out in the rear of
d. II. Lyons bakery store on Franklin
avenue, and before the flames were ex-
tinguished considerable damage had
been done. The firemen responded to
the alarm, but when they arrived with
the apparatus the fire was burning
fiercely. They fought the flames with
commendable energy and succeeded in
saving much valuable property. The
flames quickly burned away about all
of the rear part of the bakery and from
there leaped to the second floor of
G. w. Loomis' drug store, adjoining
it ON the west. Here the iremeu sue
ceeded in arresting the flames and they
were finally altogether extinguished.
The goods and fixtures in the bakery
were totally ruined. The storeroom
over the rear of Loomis' drug store con-
tanned many valuable goods, all of which
were more of less damaged by fire and
water. Great quantities of water ran
through the floors and poured in a flood
over everything ranged along the west
wall in the drug store. The stock of
books was soaked and other things wet
through and badly damaged, but the
exact loss will not be known until an
inventory is taken. The cables running
from the central" Office of the telephone
company, located over the drug store,
burned away at the rear of the
building, in consequence Of WHICH but

Until this veal the matchbox has
been the -unquestioned, exclusive prop
erty of man, says the New York Jour
nal. Never once did he think of such
a thing as the fairer sex borrowing it.
He may have had a ~presentment of her
laying claim to his necktie, but his
matchbox-never.
But the bicycle girl, who makes what
ever she wants possible, has now laid
siege to mans matchbox. If she con-
templates riding at night she needs
matches to light her lamp, and neces-
sarily she must carry them in a match
box.
That is the reason that there are any
number of new matchboxes this year
which are smaller and more dainty than
anything in this line ever seen before.
do girls buy them?" q prominent
jeweler was asked. To which question
he answered.: Yes, indeed. The
smaller sizes are made particularly for
their special USE"
The prettiest of the new matchboxes
for girls are of gold with an enameled
decoration. The enameling either
takes the form of a college or yacht club
flag or it resembles a hand-painted
miniature showing a girl on q wheel or
the head of a dog. Many of these match
boxes are made with a concealed recess
for a photograph. 1t is only when a
certain spring is touched that the pic
lure can be seen, so skillfully is it hid
den away.
The silver matchboxes, decorated
with the outline Of q tiny bicycle in
enamel, are also new and much less y.

HE RESIGNED.

How the postmaster at Pony Closed Up
His Accounts.
In h early days of Pony, a mining
camp in Montana, the post office o
sisted of an old tea-box, into which all
the letters were dumped, the citizens
helping themselves, says am exchange.
There were only 40 citizens in Pony,
and, there being no money in the office,
it was with considerable difficulty that
the storekeeper was persuaded to ac-
cept the postmastership.
One day a stranger rode into camp
and called on the postmaster.
Don't you know" he began, sternly,
"that it is Illegal to allow people to
pick out their own letters like that?"
"Waal, stranger" said the postmas-
ter, 81 don't know that it is any of your
business how this Office is run"
But I am u United States post office
inspector"
'In this case" said the postmaster,
1--WE will finish up this post Office right
now"
He took the tea-box, placed it In the
middle of the road and, with a good
run, kicked it clear across the gulch.
"Now. then" he resumed, you go
right back to Washington and tell the
department for me that the accounts
are closed and the postmaster ut Pony
has resigned"

cure, than three years exposure to the
dust and dirt of a grain elevator. This
letter is a sample of those we receive
daily. They come unsolicited and IN

Black Crook Coming.

The simple announcement of the
engagement of Tompkins' BLACK
Crook" at the New Grand opera house
Monday, November 80, will be received
with pleasure by the theatre-going
public who appreciate the beauties of
high-class spectacular dramas. All
other specialties, with their embellish-
ments of ballots, armors, transformation
scenes, gorgeous tinsel and the inev-
liable red fire, have had their momentary
successes, but the ''Black Crook like
Tennyson's brook, "goes on forever
In this gorgeous spectacular drama a
small army of premlers and coryphees
are employed, together with a host of
dramatic artists, and the mechanical
and electrical departments are in the
hands of able and experienced workmen.
All in all, the coming production
promises to be one of the greatest
attractions ever offered to the theatre
goers of this city, and a red letter era in
the history of stage splendOr in America.
Three new ballets have been arranged,
N of which, 1.-The ballet of gems,'' has

steele "Trilby ballet" The spe cialties
will be in the hands of the Brothers
Rixford, from the Circus Cisinelli,
together with the famed new Ballet

portant feature will be the appearance
of Miss Dorothy Lathrop, as Stalcata,
the Queen. The lady is pronounced to
be az living embOdification of Titian's
Venus in form, grace and womanhood,

A SENTENCE FROM FRANCIS.

A little group of Cleveland demo-
Gratis such as Major Warner, Gardner
Lathrop and others held a banquet at
Kansas City Wednesday evening to
ratify the election of Mckinley. They
invited Dave Francis, of Hoke Smiths
old cast off shoes, to be present. Dave
was sorry he could not be there. He
was sorry that the result IN Missouri
cast a gloom over the banquet. He
said so. But that was not all Dave
said. He closed his letter with a
sentence, that coming from Francis,
gives 1t the tinge of the ridiculous.
Dave, who used to be called sour
Dave here in Missouri, closed his
epistle to the boys with this sentence
elf some legislation is not enacted
to check the growing Influence of
wealth and to circumscribe the powers
of the trusts and monopolies, there will
be an uprising of the people before the
close of the century which will
endanger our very institutions"
Just think of it. Dave Francis
writing about 'strusts and monopolies"
to a crowd of his fellow henchmen.
After going over to them body and
soul for a winters. season in the social
swim at Washington, and doing all in
his power to p%erpetuate their influence,
he forgets himself and his masters so
far as to lift the voice of warning.
BY writing this sentence Dave
Francis demonstrates a degree of in
gratitude hat is amazing. He repu-
dated his people who had honored
him for the influence of the trusts and
monopolies, and now he tries 10 drive
q nail in the coffin of the trusts and
monopolies. Ingratitude it is indeed
for Davy to go back on the ''trusts and
monopolies." They have made Dave
a cabinet member. True what Dave
says is true and the people realize it,
but just why he, who has been their
chief alder and abettor in Missouri,
who has assisted to give the trusts
their influence should now attempt to
stab them is beyond the conception of
the ordinary
Davy ought to quit writing letters
like that. If he don't the first thing
he knows he will be repudiated by his
eminent democratic friends like War
ner and Lathrop, and be fired from G.
Cleveland's cabinet. Davy has been
hired to stick to his crowd, and he
not to go back on it now that
the trusts and syndicates are in power
for tour years more.
