A GOOD INSURANCE TOWN.
Disastrous Fires Are a Rarity in the
Capital City.
Review Of the Operations of the
Fire Department for the
Past Year.

The annual report Of the Chief En-
gfneer Of the Fire Department, J. w.
Guthrie, has been filed with the City
Trustees. 1t contains the following
points:
The total cost for the maintenance
of the department for the year was
$31 $3.50 so. of which $4,000 was paid
to officers and members.
The discipline in this department of
the municipal service has been excel
lent according to the report, there be-
ing no dismissals during the year. In
Guiding officers and members, fifty-two
men were on the pay roll.
Among the notable fires that oc-
Cured during the fiscal year were
those which, on the evening of Sep
tember 8, 1895, destroyed the grocery
and dwelling at Sixth and n streets,
involving loss of $4,0S2 62; the de-
struction on September 18th of the
same year Of the store and dwelling
on the north side of K street, between
Eighth and Ninth, the loss being
3o,479 %; and the burning of the sta
bes of a local brewery on N street.
between Twenty-third and Twenty
fourth, which entailed loss of
$5,543 %.
During the present year the most i'm
Iortant fires were those which con-
sumed the Scrogg's building at Tenth
and K streets, on July I'd, the esti-
mated loss being $3.50, and the burn
ing of the dwelling and stables in the
alley, between Third and Fourth, NJ
and N streets, in which a loss of $6,-
17G 40 was sustained.
The total loss to buildings was S26,-
025 81, of which $40, 9,T64 67 have been
paid in insurance.
The total loss to personal property
was S20,346 80, covered by $S,933 rs
insurance.
Chief Guthrie recommends the pur-
chase of a chemical engine to be added
to the department, saying that such
an apparatus is necessary to its proper
equipment. He also recommends the
construction of trunk main along L
street, from Second to the eastern linn
its Of the city, thus affording the resi-
dents in the southern and southeastern
portions of the city ample protection
from fire. The construction of cisterns
at various locations in the city is advo-
Gated.
The attention of the Board of Trus-
tees is directed to the great danger
arising from the numerous telephone
and telegraph wires supported by
poles. The chief danger, the report
says, lies in the liabilities of the light
conductors conveying portion of the
heavy current which they carry into
buildings, causing fire and probable
loss Of life. Again, they are an OBJ
struction to f1remen while in the per-
forniance Of their duties, and 1t is rec
commended that they be placed under
ground.
There were three fatalities attending
fires during the year, which are emu
merated as follows: August 8, 1895,
at 1910 Third street. Miss Jennie
Marker was fatally burned, through
her clothing becoming ignited from
coal oil stove; on August 20, 1895, Mrs.
S. A. Whites clothing caught fire from
coal oil stove and she was fatally
burned; on December &c, 1895, Miss
Katie Mcnamara, 1929 G street, was
burned to DEATH her clothing, which
was saturated with turpentine and
sweet oil, having caught fire from a
lighted candle.

ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.
w. j. Hamilton Says William Collins
Tried to Steal His Watch.

William Collins was arrested by Off,
Ger Douglas at Third and K streets last
night and charged with attempting to
rob William James Hamilton of a gold
watch and chain.
Collins, so Hamilton says, seized the
chain and made two attempts to re-
move the watch. There were a number
of men within a few yards of the spot.
officer Douglas believes that Collins
is the man who is wanted for stealing
a watch from Charles Mettis, on Tenth
street, a few days ago.

The members Of the Moulton Dra-
matte Company, assisted by the sew
eral amateurs in the cast, have been
importuned to repeat the outdoor per-
formance of "As You Like IT, which
was presented with such signal success
in Capitol Park Friday night. They
have accordingly consented to give it
once more, this time at East Park, and
at 2:3O o'clock to-day. 1t is believed
by the company that it can be much
better done at East Fark, as arrange
ments will be made SO that the people
can see the stage better than in Cap
itol Park The performance was on
Friday evening an exceptionally good
one, and in the usual order of things
a second one ought to be better, as all
the people in the cast will be more fa-
miliar with their lines and with the
outdoor conditions. The admission on
this occasion will be twenty-five cents.

soon went to 635kc then to 64c and then
ia the rush it touched 6415c, an advance
of 11sc.
The demand for wheat became quite
urgent during the first hours trading
and from 63ssc and $3.50 at the opening
July wheat rose to 641ae. That was the
elimination of the advance for the mo
ment at least and a reaction to Sac
followed upon its heels. The accession
to the bulIish feeling indicated by the
above was evidently the result of the

To many persons the very strong SEN
tment against the free coinage Of silver,
which was noticeable at the Huron con
yention, was surprise. South Dakota
las been classed as tree silver state,
and two years ago at the republican
state convention at Yank:on, owing to
the scramble tor state Offices a platform
was adopted demanding he coinage of
the American product. Whether that
demand was the real sentiment Of the
party IN the state was questionable at
the time, but however that may have
been, there were thousands of earnest re-
publicans who believed that the silver
plank IN that document was q mistake,
and who were determined at tue first op-
portunity to do their utmost to rectlfy
it and place the party ic South Dakota
more in harmony with the national plat
accomplish from the fact that the people
lave du. ing the past two years given
more or less consideration TO financial
questions, and many who were upon
liTst thought inclined to the free coinage
Idea, have With fuller study Of the ques-
ton become convinced that instead oil
proving a boon tins policy if adopted
would be attended with the most dlsas
trou5 consequences. That this senti.
ment dominated the Huron convention
there can be no question. and while
