A minister in Atlanta has just de-
vised scheme which will doubtless
add much to the revenues of his
church. Last Sunday the SIX staid
and sobersided deacons were super
seeded by like number of pretty girls,
who handed around the baskets.
Young men and timid bachelors, who
had previously been in the habit OF
dropping their small coins in the plate,
began to search nervously for quar-
tiers and half dollars. The whole
plan was executed in the gravest and
most digni6ed way, and the Young la
dies gave all a chance to show their
generosity. The collection naturally
turned out to be one of the largest on
record.

Help Them.

The citizens OF Hand county who
lost their property and seed grain
by the disastrous fires should be Civ
en- some assistance, if it lies in the
power of the county officials They
have met with misfortune that could
not be guarded against. and they
are entitled to the practical sym
pathy of their fellow men. They
should be helped to the extent OF
present needs, and the putting in of
a crop. 1t would be impossible to
do this by general subscription. and
the PRESS believes it can be done by
the county board. We have no
method to suggest, but humanity
demands that something be done
right away, as seed time is here, and
we believe the careful, intelligent
county Commissioners can find ways
and means to keep these people as
citizens, and help them make a small
start. No man who has luckily es-
capped such misfortune should be IN
willing to assist a neighbor in such
an emergency. After tho 1889 fire
the Commission ers set aside $500 to
buy seed wheat for those burnt out.

The MESSING TON FIRE.
Another fire, or a branch of the
one described above, also ragged near
Washington at the same time, of
which the Times say: "About noon
Thursday a prairie fire was seen to
the southeast, and, being driven by
the high wind was coming straight
for the town ut terrible rate. The
people were at once alarmed and all
turned quito do what they could to
save the town. Several teams were
at once set to work blowing fire.
break, but had done very little when
the fire struck the cornfield on the
Mosher place which was fairly free
from weeds, and this fact together
with n slight change in the wind at
just the right time proved the saliva
ton OF the town.
Before the fire struck town it had
burned the house, barn and contents,
belonging to II. NJ. Denote. Mr..
Denote turned his stock loose upon
the prairie and it, with the exception
OF his granary is all he saved from
the fire.
NORTH HAND FIRE.
Friday another fire was seen to the
northwest OF town and on Saturday
Herman Matter and A. SolOmo, Uf
Spring township, came to town and
reported five families burned out.
They were:
II. Matter, seed wheat, grain, gran
aries, barns and hay.
A. SOlomo, barns, six head ofhors-
es, one COW and four calves.
Aug. Booth, hay, and buildings on
Preston place. ..
N. Heller, lost 13 head of cattle,
burned up in field.
Thos. McGary, 117-69, house, barn
and cows.
Later reports place this fire on
Thursday. The fire of Friday came
from Potter county, crossing Harri-
son township, in the northwest cor
ner of Hand, being stopped by the
burnt district of the day before. 1t
destroyed hay ground, pasture and
one building.
The fire in Spring township, north
west Hand. is the second one within
II few months, the other one of last
fall having been disastrous in the
loss of life. The present one was
said to have been started by Mr..
Kolda, of Fairyiew township. A
warrant was issued for his arrest,
and placed in the hands of Sheriff
Strut. Trial set for today.
The WHEATON FIRE.
