MUSIC AND DRAMA

A specimen of the light headed girl OF
the period formed the center of three
act comedy at the Oliver last evening.
Everyone has heard of The Gay Matt
nee Girl and several have encountered
her and wondered what she might be good
for and why she was permitted to exist
This species of girl is supposed to dote on
every rising and sinking male star in the
theatrical armament. She is addicted 10
candy. ice cream and silly talk. Il she
sings or pounds the piano, she dreams OF
future conouests and is chronically in
love with her teacher. These pleasant
little diversions formed the theme Of the
performance last night lola Pomery Is

TWO ALARMS GIVEN
Grocery Store and Meat
Market Burned.
LOSS OF THREE THOUSAND
Reserves Make a Long Run
on East Second St.

Yesterday afternoon the grocery store
and meat market of C. n. Stewart, on
the corner of Douglas and Laura avenues
was burned. The loss will be about $500
The insurance on the stock of goods was
1000 and on the building $1,000, with
Hewlett & Wheeler and Reese & Co.
It is not known how the fire started,
but probably from a defective tiue Doc
Kelley and a number of others were sit
ting around the stove in the store talk
ing. On account of the cold quite num-
Der had drifted in to sit by the fire. a
time or two some one in the crowd sug-
gested that it was halling or sleeuns'
from the cracking noises heard ABOUT
ire roof. Doc Kelley said That's no
hail" and Just then some boy came rush
ing in at the door and gave the alarm Of
fire. The crowd ran out and saw the
flames bursting through the second story
windows. Then Mr.. Stewart ran IN,
grabbed up his books Of account from
! the desk and rushed across the street
with them, while two or three men pick
/ ed up a show case of CONNECTIONS and
carried it to the north side Of Douglas
avenue. They had hardly put the show
case down when Mr.. Stewart fell in the
street and could not speak. In a few
minutes the second floor was burned till
it crashed down and seemed to arouse
Stewart. He jumped up and rushed to-
ward the door but was caught by two or
three men and dragged back.
Meanwhile two or three persons had
gone to turn in an alarm and the fire
companies were on hand within ten min
utes. The fire was breaking out at the
roof and in front and the wind was blow
ing a gale. Two streams of water were
turned upon the fire and the chemical
engine put to work, but on account of the
heavy wind it took fully half an hour to
put the blaze entirely down. By this time
the building was a total wreck. Other
buildings would have burned if the com
panies chad not arrived promptly. Prob
ably a thousand persons witnessed the
burning, but nothing could be done to-
wards taking the goods out.
Stewart cried like a child and had to be
held by the crowd to keep him from
| NeAiNN
out something The grocery and meat
market stood together but apart from
other buildings on the east. Not much
of the stock of good~~ ~~ saved.
Stewart is probably 40 years old and
has been at this location for about five
years. He was formerly engaged in bust
ness on the West Side. He has a family
of a wife and three children and lived in
the rear part of the store. All the house
hold goods were destroyed.
Mrs Wise, who lives on the corner OF
Cleveland and Second streets turned ii
an alarm from that place soon after the
companies got to Stewards, and the
West Side department which comes over
for protection when the Ones are called
out. made the run to find out that Mrs
Wise meant the Stewart fire.
One Of the hose pipes bursted jus
about the center Of the crowd and tn
scattering that took place was equal Il
that caused by any fire.

The 'Girl from Texas" was the bill for

After the report was read and plac


on file a general discussion followed. Mr.
Fitch said that he felt morally obligated
and thought that the men who had so
generously given material should be
paid. He said that they had received
nothing since March, 1894 The bills pay
able represent the amount due lumber
men and others. He said that if the
building was turned over TO the mort
gage company the bills payable account
would be wiped out, and he did not think
they should lose the money.
Mr.. Potts suggested that the CONNER
cial club be consulted and see if they
would take the building and maintain 1t.
Mr. Edwin Taylor asked what the
value Of the building was. Being in
formed that in round numbers it repre-
sents $4,000 he said he was in favor Of
trying to raise the money necessary to
canoe! the obligation and maintaining the
building for the same purposes that 1t
was built for. the accommodation of con-
yentions and the business of this city.
DR.. ]. f. Oldham said he thought that
Mr.. Taylor had hit the key note. He was
in favor of getting rid of the debt and
the rescue. All that is absolutely neces-
sary to pay is the interest, the insurance
taxes and the bills payable which
amount to about $3.50 The mortgage
company had been very lenient and were
willing to extend the mortgage. Two OF
the notes were already due.
Mr.. Jewett proposed that new organi-
cation of 100 men be formed, each to
nav SO. This would be sufficient to erase
the obligations He told of the necessity
for maintaining such a building on the
plans as the present one is now being
run.
Mr.. Jobes proposed that the capital
: stock be increased to $50 or geo shares.
one dollar each. with a premium of nine
dollars. This proposition seemed 20 meet
with the favor of the majority OF those
present.
The board Of directors save the use Of
the building to the c. a. r. encampment
which meets here next month.
on motion the board adjourned to meet
next Tuesday night. when ii was thought
more of the stockholders would he pres
ent. AT that time definite action Will be

SUIT AGAINST B0NDSMEN
County Attorney AmidOn Argues the
DOran Case.

Sam Amidon argued the case against
the bondsmen of Doran yesterday and
was opposed by Kos Harris, Myatt, Fer
guson and Holmes The attorneys for
the bondsmen argued demurrer on the
ground that Doran had signed slip
which had afterwards been attached TO
the bond and also that the statute of
limitation hal run for bringing the case.
County Attorney Amidon argued that the
shortage dated from the time Doran
went out of office and not from the
first term though that date would let
him within the statute by about three
months.
Judge Dale will not render q decision
