Pennington COunty's Magnificent
New Court House a Second
Time Destroyed by
Fire.
LOOKS LIKE INCENDIAR1SM
Ruined Beyond Redemption.-EIn En-
tire Structure VIII Have to Ee
Rebu,t.-Otiier Notes

Blaclsened ruins and tottering walls
is all that remains or Pennington coun-
ty's magnificent new court house.
which was to have been finished and
ready FOE occupancy by the first of the
coming month.
The original structure was DESTROYED
by fire last April and the new building
which was just receiving the finish ing
touches at the hands of the contractors
was beautiful structure, being much
larger than the ola one and so arranged
that it had no equal in the Black Hills
country. The deplorable affair which
has resulted in the destruction of the
building the second time occurred on
Wednesday night between the hours of
II and II o'clock. The plastering was
in progress and there was fire kept in
one stove in the building to facilitate
drying. 4 sand-bOx had been con-
structed around this stove, making it
perfectly safe. 1t is not thought that
the fire originated from this source, as
Contractor Hugh McMahon was in the
building at $50 and at that hour every
onlbS " dS dli [lS III. dfUlcS paSSlD g
the building as late as 1890 stated DOS
itively to TIE U-v4ON yesterday that
there was no signs fire at that time
Flames were discovered by Miss Lotte
lngersol at precisely 10 minutes before
II O'Clock and the alarm was promptly
turned in. The fire department was
not as prompt in responding as is usu-
ally the case and when it arrived the
structure was a mass OF flame from TOP
TO bottom. Two full streams were
played on the fire and in an hour a
mass of smoking ruins and tottering
walls was all that remained. The CON
tractors carried a builders insurance
of $1,000 which will lessen the loss to
some extent. though the reconstr true
tion will mean an outlay of $4,000 to
$4,000.
The prevailing idea seems to be that
both fires we're Of incendiary origin.
When the building was destroyed last
April there had been no fire in it for
two days prior to its destruction, and
the circumstances surrounding the fire
of Wednesday night point strongly to
1ncendlarism, though no definite clue
is obtainable at this time.

its enterprislnp people are well and
happy.
The "Never Swet Club are quietly
waiting for the promised prosperity
to turn up, and will continue to wait
as long as their pants and boys hold
out. Some have waited so long now
that modesty keeps them close to the

The poor trout has TO suffer these
days. Last Sunday Doctor Reed,
James Meyer, and Sam Smith drove
to the Santiam river, and spent the
day fishing. They report the fishing
fine, but they labored undergrad In
convenience, the river bank was
thlckly covered with brush, and as
they drew the fish out of the water
the brush rubbed all the large ones off
Of their hooks, and as DR.. Reed failed
to take with him his little dog they
could not get the fish, but they had a
good time, with plenty of fishermenS'
luck.
Last week w. ID. Shaw, was seen
passing through our Main street, with
a fish pole upon his shoulders, and a
long crooked stick in his hand, with
two nearly inyisiable fish hanging at
one end, he looked as proud as boy
with pair OF red top boots. Mr..
Shaw had been fishing, and before
commencing he cut the long crooked
stick, just large enough, TO hold the
many fish that he Intended to catch.
Aumsyille news is all fish news this
week and more news than fish, there
seems To be great absence of fish
or else they are on a strike and will
not be caught unless they can be
cooked In a certain way, some think
that they have turned POpulist Free
Silver 16 to Land are not to be caught
by such Republican hard money men
as, Reed, Shaw, Meyer, and Smith.

This is the busy time for farmers
and orchardists and our people are
seemingly happy; the last two frosts
were too light to do any harm to the
fruit and the prospect for large CROP
of prunes and plums was never better,
and if the war in Greece continues the
demand for prunes will be good in
fact we can consume all we raise and
If there is. no foreign fruit on the
market we can get fair price. The
wheat raisers are looking for good
crop and fair price and for the same
reason. Now the question arises:
Does the political parties in the
United States affect the produce mar
ket of the world? Does not supply and
demand make and regulate the price
of product the world overP
Our people are all busy now and are
looking out for something to eat in
the future more than for the spoils of
office, however we will have a meeting
in Albany next month and will have
our legislators that served US last
winter come to the front and make an
explanation perhaps (Dr.) Driver of
Lane county will be with us and pre-
pared to tell what he knows
We notice one good suggestion in
your X Rays that is: "Plant a later
patch" and we took the advice so If
prosperity don't overtake us.we can
winter over.
Mr.. H. M. Stone of this place is re-
pairing and improving the large prune
drier. Mr.. Stone is prepared to dry q
large amount of fruit and he will
raise about all that he can dry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Seven thou

White house today for periods varying
from one to six hours. But patience
had it's reward in every case, for the
president and Mrs. Cleveland shook
hands with every one Of them. The
closing New Years reception of the

brilliant of Mr.. Cleveland's whole eight

The cold, gray sky that threatened
rain which did not come served merely
as a foil to the brilliant pageant that
moved for hours through the forest of
tropic plants that filled the softly
lighted parlors inside. the executive
mansion. The diplomatic corps, as
usual, furnished the high lights in the
picture. Foreign uniforms and decora-
tons Of every sort, from the white and

to the green and crimson silks of the

very fine riding during the day, as
with but one more day remaining in

every muscle to increase their dis

relative positions of them tonight at
the close. Waller and Maddox, the

proXimately 148 miles today, a greater
distance than has been accomplished
