in their power to check the flames then
issuing from the building adjoining, oc-
cupied by Stephens and fuckers gro

quickly reached the place, and all the
firemen worked earnestly to prevent
the flames from reaching the upper part
of the building, which was occupied by
G. W. Fulkerson and his family.
Mir. Fulkcrson, one of the owners ot
the building, was awakened by the
noise, and found his apartments filled
with smoke. The family speedily es-
capped from the burning building. but
saved none of their effects. Additional
aid came from the Hendrick works and
Cottage company, so that the fire did
not reach the adjoining buildings. The
fire started in the cellar. but the orig
in is yetN mystery. The loss incurred
is between $1,000 and $1,000, and the to-
tai insurance is somewhat over $4,000.

From the Chicago tribune.
Prosperity appeared in dress and

fixing her eyes upon the slim sales
woman, who stood ready to serve her
as far as human power could go, said
with some asperity of tone: I've come
to inquire why an order I left here
two weeks ago last Wednesday was not
attended to as promised. The girl at
this counter said she would have the
package sent out the next morning.

We are all familiar with the history
Of the Rebekah branch since that day,
April s, 1885, and Of the work done
three years since toward the formation
of a Rebekah assembly in Utah. How
the legislation of the sovereign grand
lodge killed that labor of love and ex-

since been righted.

finds the Rebekah lodges at their best,
with the probable institution of three
others within a few months. State
hood came in with the year, and with
it many privileges to the women of
Utah. This. and many other reasons,
should be an incentive to the wearerS
of the pink and green to at once make
a grand effort to have an assembly
within this Jurisdiction and that those
noble sisters who 50 vigilantly have
worked through the years in sowing
the seed that is now producing so
bounteous a harvest may reap some
slight reward in acquiring the higher
honors to be obtained in their own
