Bah TELLS HOW
TO BE GRACEFUL.

We hear with no end of interest
about the various clubs that are got UP
to encourage the wearing of short
skirts, heavy boots, plain hats and the
carrying of stout umbrellas on rainy
DAYS. but somehow if you are out on a
rainy day the American woman is not
a success. She lacks the courage of
the English girl who does not care how
she looks provided she is comfortable,
and who, feeling perfectly secure in a
good storm coat, strides through mud
and water in broad soled shoes and
ea'0ches, sure of coming out in fit con-
dition She makes one big step over
g crossing and does not mind the soft
rain drops falling on her face. She

HAY DAYS SUCCESSOR.

Washington, Aug. 15-Just when
Judge Days resignation will take effect
nobody appears to know. II is certair
however, that he will cease to be secre-
tary OF state before the American peace
commissioners sail for Europe. Almost
acoincident with his resignation will come
that OF John Bassett Moore. who sue
ceeded Mr.. Day as assistant secretary
when the latter went into the cabinet.
The president has decided to appoint
Colonel John Hay, ambassador in Lon
don. as the successor of Mr. Day. Presi-
dent -McKinley's great friendship and
admiration for Colonel Hay are well
known, and in deciding to appoint him
secretary OF state he has gratified de-
sire that dates from the time he began
TO consider the composition OF the cab
met, just after the election to the presi-
dency. ,oionel Hay, while he did not
take very conspicuous part in the cam
paign OF 1896. was an enthusiastic worker
In quiet way for the election of the Re-
publican ticket. He. spent a great deal
Of money for campaign purposes, and
used all the influence at his command
to further the success Of his party. Long
before the ST. Louis convention he was
q Mckinley man.

Large Amount Of Property
Destroyed.
THREE BLOCKS IN ASHES.
Raisin Industry Affected by Burn
ing Of Packing Houses.
wATcHMAN BURNED TO DEATH.

Fresno, Cal, Aug. 15.-The most dis
astrous fire in the history of Fresno oc-
Cured Saturday night. 1t swept the
Southern Pacific railroad reservation a
distance of three blocks, and In Q little
more than an hour S500.0O0 worth OF
property went up In smoke. Some OF
the buildings burned were packing
houses, and their destruction will throw
about 500 people out OF work u
The fire started In the immense estab-
lishment OF the Forsythe Seeded Raisin
company. which was erected in 1896. BY
the time the engines arrived the Forsythe
packing house was beyond saving, and
firemen gave their attention to saving
the Phoenix company's. building A
strong wind was blowing from the north,
and the Phoenix caught fire. This also
was raisin seeding house and was
equipped with expensive machinery.
Sparks from the Phoenix packing house
ignited the National Ice company's
building, and 1t was soon consumed. The
farmers warehouse. full OF grain, was
the next building ignited. and the Elm
stein grain warehouse caught from that.
The Robbs & Parsons raisin packing
house caught next. but the firemen saved
half of the building. though the stock
not destroyed by fire was ruined by
water. By the greatest exertions the
firemen checked the progress of the
flames and prevented further destruc-
ton.
The railroad company suffered con-
siderable loss. about 20 cars. some load aded
and some empty. being consumed. Con-
siderable damage was done to the track
age, and the section house was burned.
The depot hotel and the depot itself.
which are opposite Forsythe's. were on
fire several times. and were saved only
by the most strenuous efforts of the en-
ployes. The freight depot, block fur
ther south. owes it's escape to being
slightly out Of the path of the shower of
sparks.
Night Watchman Harper slept in the
tower OF the Forsythe packing house,
and 1t is not likely that any trace OF him
Will ever be found. The fire spread so
rapidly that he could not have escaped.
Three Chinese were so severely injured
that all are expected to die. One was
injured by stepping on a live wire: an
other fell from burning roof while try
ing to catch a rope thrown to him by a
fireman. and the third was run over by
q hose wagon.
The fire is little short of a calamity for
Fresno. While the market for ordinary
raisins was not very good. the establish
ments had many orders and would have
employed larger forces. The fire, occur
ring so late in the season, makes it i'm
possible to rebuild in time to handle this
years crop; hence a large market Is
closed to the growers.
Many believe that the fire at the
Forsythe's was OF incendiary origin. The
loss of the Forsythe company Is 500 900:
Phoenix Packing company. $75. 900:
farmers warehouse. $4,000; Enstein,
$4,000; National Ice company. $4,000:
Hobbs & Parsons, $4,000. This includes
merely buildings and plants. The loss
on stock and the loss of the Southern
Pacific make up the remainder of the

The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1898-08-26
Was Before Santiago.

Private McQuay of company "D',
Second regiment, United States regulars,
spent a few hours in the city, Monday
night, OH his way from New York, where
he landed on last Saturday morning,
from Santiago, to Fort Kehoe, Montana.
McOuay lived here about ten years ago
and his brief visit here was a source Of
much satisfaction and information to
many that met him. He was i'll all the
battles about Santiago, FL Caney, San
Juan hill and before Santiago, and 1t was
intensely interesting to hear him tell IN
his simple way of his experiences. He
was in the trench before Santiago for II
DAYS and nights, and II of these days
and nights he vas up to his waist in
water. He carries with him some pieces
of shells and cartridges and other re-
minders of the bloody campaign about
the city of Santiago He was down with
all attack of typhoid fever. and is on his
way back to the fort to rest up from the
terrible campaign in which he was en-
gagged in the island republic. He is not
much taken up with the island and has
no desire to return there. Thinks that
those who have been there and had the
experiences that he had will have no de-
sire to return, though peace be establish
ed. He regards himself as very lucky
to get home safe and without wounds of
ary kind. His comrade in arms just
next to him was shot by a Mauser and
instantly killed. He described the dig
ging of a trench, II miles long. II
night, with b~ayonets and hands, among
many other interesting things told. He
left OH the late train for Denver.
