Three Lives Lost and 100000 Worth of
Property Destroyed.
ASHLAND, Wis, May 1l.-This city
experienced great fire Saturday. Half
a million dollars worth of milling
property and lumber went up in flames,
and three and possibly four men lost
their lives. The fire stan ed in w. r.
Durfea's lumber dock. The mill was
surrounded by. water, with wooden
tramways leading to the shore. When
the flames burst out in great volume
and enveloped the mill and the dock, all
the men but four succeeded in reaching
the tramways.
The origin of the fire is still mys-
terry, but it is presumed that a spark
from some employees pipe started the
lumber pile on Durfee's dock. The dis
tance between Durfee's and the Shores
Lumber Conpany's docks is only fifty
feet, SO the file jumped across the short
stretch of water in fifteen minutes after
it had started.

that the war sentiment will be in his
favor in November. He says the ad-
ministratipn will be heard from at the

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Times Herald
says: The wheat trade bears in mind
the experience of May, 1895. The recol-
lection of the profits made by the bulls
and of the losses made by the shorts in
this month just IL months ago is the
potent influence of the moment. Every
body is disposed to see resemblance be-
tween this spring and last in the price,
in the weather, in the starting up Of

ance of insects. There is a general in
clination to look for the same results as
last year, the bull hoping for them and
the bear keeping in fear of them.
