FIRE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Damage in the
St. Nicholas Hotel Building.

SAN FRANCISCO, April S.-A fire in
the st. Nicholas Hotel this morning
damaged the building and contents OF
the drug store in the building to the ex-
tent Of $4,000. The fire broke out in
the drug store owned by George Car
roll, and is the store in which Eugene
Ware was mysteriously murdered. The
night clerk had unintentionally left the
gas jet burning near a five-gallon can
containing gasoline. The flames COM
municated with the fumes of the gaso-
line and the result was an explosion
which soon ignited the combustible con-
tents Of the drug store.
A series of explosions occurred, but
the prompt response of the fire de-
partment checked the flames in time to
save the hotel.

Alfalfa the Coming F)ra3e Plant.

As a forage plant for many portions OF the
western plains, the alfalfa clover plant has
come to stay. On the Upper Missouri tribu-
taries in Montana it has been raised scceess

years. And now in the river bottom lands OF
the ~treeless plains of western Nebraska, sue

About Prairie Fire Safeguards.

Although the prairie fires are extinguished
.propably for this season, we must not forget
there will be another spring and another
autumn coming, and with them more prairie
ranges burned over; more hay, grain and
buildings burned and more hardship and suf-
fering therefrom both by the stock and the
owners thereof. Let us urga the :ountycom-
commissioners to take some action towards
the blowing of firebreaks on township lines,
and county boundary lines Think it over
nd talk it over. 1t will pay.
