Narrowly Escape Death.


Narrowly Escape Death.
Grand Forks, n D., Dec. 17.--Fire broke
out this morning at 4:90 o'clock at Nash
Bros wholesale grocery store, and in a
half hour had gone into the Hotel Da-
kotah where nearly a thousand guests
were housed. The Lady in Black COM
pany escaped as did the people in the
hotel, by the fire escape, a ladder one
foot wide running from the sixth floor to
the first.
The fire department rescued a large
number and but for timely assistance hun
dreds of persons would have been burned.
Half the people in the hotel were almost
pulled out of bed and then shown the
only way of escape which was by the mar
row iron ladder
The burned district is in the business
center of the city and the blow is a most
severe one. The loss will aggregate $780,
900 on stocks, furniture, etc, and $30OO0
on buildings totally destroyed while other
losses will probably reach 100000 more.

WoMAN'S DEP RTMENT.
Sunday School Notes.
MABEL H, PoMERoY, EDITOR,

In Colorado IN certain districts
there is effective Gospel work be-
ing done.
The 32nd annual State Sunday
School Convention will be held at
Newton, Kansas, May 18th to 18th,
1897
The Sunday School Missionary
gives a graphic and vivid account
as well as an encouraging one of
the great good being done among
the western ranchmen by the Sun
day School Union who have mission
aries at work out there.
Precedent assures delegates to the
approaching state convention a rate
OF one and one-third fare for the
round trip, We are, vigorously press
ing our suit for an open rate of sim
gle fare for the round trip, with reas-
enable assurance of success.
1t is the duty of county officers to
seek to induce each Sunday school to
select one delegate-one who will 20
to the state convention A proper
and gracious lnducement due these
delegates IN the payment of half their
railroad fare. Such delegates should
be selected ar are capable of absorb
ing an abundance Of enthusiasm and
instruction for home consumption.
A note taken from the Sunday
School Advocate says, The character
of the future church will be deter
mined chiefly by what it does for
the Sunday School. Listen to John
Wanamaker, the model superinten-
dent of the United States, and whose
school numbers 3400 and who per-
sonally teaches q bible class of 1,400.
For myself with more than two score
years OF intimate knowledge Of the
results of such work, l must say that
l do not know of any other channel
IN which man can do as much good
with his time, strength or money as

The largest flock of Angoras in the
world IS owned by Mr.. O. P. Bailey,
president of the California Angora
Breeders Association, and numbers
about $4,000 animals
The Chicago stock report says, 80
be candid it does begin to look like
"a hogs in the not distant future.
We would never, however, advise
owners of hogs that are ready for
market to hold them for any future
contingency"
A Colorado csttleman who has been
IN the range business all his life says
he never loses stock from blackleg.
He uses a preventative composed of
sulphur five pounds, salt $50 pounds,
and a good sized chunk Of lime,
which is placed on the salt, and al
lowed to slake, when all is stirred
together and put out IN the feed
yard in boxes.
M. B. Smith Of Sidney, Nebraska,
has just concluded tour of the west
and is decidedly of the opinion that
there are less cattle on the weston
ranges than ever before at this season
Of the year. Not only is this true of
the range east Of the mountains, but
it applies more forcibly on the coast
Range men have cleaned out their
three year-olds and coming threes
which they expected to run next
fall and winter as beef cattle, owing
to the high prices prevailing for
stock cattle, hence Mr.. Smith does
not see where any great number Of
cattle can be secured for feeding
purposes in 1898 The weather
has been exceptionally mild through
the range country this winter, and as
cattle are as rule in very fair con-
dition, the loss will not be at all
heavy. Range men have not only
run out their feeders very close, but
have always shipped COWS, calves
and in fact pretty nearly everything
is all marketable this winter, hence
the number Of cattle to come from
the Rocky mountain ranges next
summer and fall will certainly be
smaller than it has been in years.
