BIG FIRE IN WASHINGTON.
Falling Walls Demolish Surroundins
Buildings. ~

Washington, Sept. 21.-At midnight
fire was discovered in the seven-story
brick and steel building on the south
west corner of Twelfth and r streets,
occupied by Robinson, Cherry & Co.,
clothiers and outfiters. Half an hour
later the walls fell, completely demol-
ishing small buildings on both the
Twelfth and E street sides of the
burned structure. J. Lewis building
on the southeast corner of Twelfth
and E streets was badly damaged. The
f street side of the Columbia theater
was damaged by both fire and water.
Other property in the vicinity was also
damaged. Robinson, Cherry & Co.'s
loss on stock is probably $4,000; loss
on the building about $4,000. J. War
field Simpson, tailor, lost his entire
stock. No intelligent estimate can be
placed on other losses, but the whole
will aggregate nearly 100000.

wil1mar incorporation.

The village council of Willmar took
up the matter of Incorporation Of the
village into city. The ordinance re-
ported by a special committee was
adopted unanimously by the council,
and will now be submitted to the legal
voters Of the village at a special cleo
ton to be held on Oct. %. The village
was incorporated by a special act of
the legislature in 1874, and the char
ter then obtained has long since been
too antiquated for a growing village
and city. Many attempts have here
tofore been made to secure incorpor-
alton, but failed. No objection is
looked for now as the needs are too
apparent

. StirS Them Up.

San Francisco, Sept. 21-The news
received from Washington to the ef-
feet that five regiments now encamped
III this city had been ordered to Manila
created quite an excitement, civilians
and soldiers alike being affected.
Conjectures as to the sudden change Of
policy on the part of the government
once more aroused the almost dormant
war fever which swept over this city
two or three months ago when de-
partures Of troops were of almost
weekly occurrence. The official intelli-
gence had already been given out that
no more soldiers would go to the
the Philippines and the work of dis
banding the regiments is even now
progressing, but will be brought to a
halt as soon as official instructions are
received.

Saturday evening Luther Bush

Saturday evening Luther Bush
and Lee Jones seemingly agreed
to disagree on one certain subject,
and consequently they got tangled
up. But fortunately Bush sue
ceeded in untangling himself, and
at the same time remembered that
his mother had instructed him to
come to his supper promptly at six
o'clock, and acting on the impulse
of the moment, started for home
at a gait only known to himself,
Jones following as closely as pos
sible. When they were about
half way to the residence of MI.
Bush, it suddenly occurred to
Jones that he had not been invited
to participate in the evenings re-
past at the Bush homestead, and
retraced his steps homeward.

The attention Of gentlemen who
insisted that the adoption of a
protective tariff would increase
prices to consumers is respectfully
called to the fact that a late report
from Boston shows that print cloths
T selling at the lowest price ever
known in the trade, q cents for
regular 64x64 cuts. Add to this
the fact that the largest sales of
shoes ever known have been made
this year f.; that prices of shoes,
lumber, tin plate, iron. steel, coal,
and many other articles r quoted
at less than a year ago !; and you
find how little reliance can be
placed upon the statements and
arguments Of those opposing the
protective tariff system under
which such a stimulus has just
been given to the business inter
ests of the country, and under
which such prosperity has pre-
vailed in former years.
