"A Mistaken Idea.

"There's a good deal OF rot heard
about conductors knocking down fares"
said the very intelligent ticket takcr of
No. I'LL, as he punched his blue trip
slip, "but ever a dishonest man would
be a fool to attempt such a thing on amy
modernly conducted road. He might
steal u dime or SO occasionally, but
thieves don't stop at such small things
and they are invariably spotted by the
inspectors. Who are they? Why, the
detectives employed by the strect-car
companies to ride on the care and watch
conductors. 1t is a regular business
and many shrewd men are engaged in
it. They are known to railroad officials
and travel from city to city all over the
United States. They never stay long
enough in Il place 10 become known to
the employees Of Il road, and sometimes
never see the higher officials, even.
They ride gu q car, watch the conduc-
tor and note everything he does. They
report him by number.
IF he is an honest man but gets
nervous and mixed upin collecting fares
In a crowd of passengers and misses one
or two, or punches the ticket slip for a
cash fare he is reported rs such and
gets warning from the Office. II he is
in any way crooked the Inspectors re-
port says so and he is fired. venture
to say that every street-car president
or manager in Washington has the rec
ord of every conductor on tho line right
under his thumb where he can examine
1t in u minute. A man runs the risk Of
discharge even if he lets a friend ride
free. for inspectors note this rs well as
everything else the punch man does."-

with his wings and swoopd off in a
straight line toward his prey. L could
o perceive that his wings moved. but
he went at a fearful rate OF speed. 1
gave my horse his head and Il touch of
the whip; in II few minutes he carried
me to the front, and l was riding neck

When we were about 200 yards Off the
bearcoote struck his prey. The bear
coote had stuck II talon into the
neck, the other into his back. and with
his bcall was tearing into the animals

BUSINESS PORTION WIPED OUT.

Minneapolis, Aug. 1o.--A special to
the Tribune from bismarck, n. D.,
says:
Fire destroyed the best portion of
the city of Bismarck this evening, lick
ing up hundreds of thousands, per-
property. The flames originated in
the agents Office of the Northern Pa
citic depot. Almost before they We're
discovered the entire building and the
immense warehouse of the Northern
Pacific company We're in flames. Oil
and powder contributed fuel and be-
fore the flames could be controlled
they had spread to the block of build
ings across the alley, destroying the
Tribune, Harris hardware store and
the entire row of buildings. The flames
then leaped the street TO the magnif-
cent First National Bank building,
which melted away in a few minutes.
The Central block followed and the
flames spread to the postotfice, sweep
ing over the entire block and carrying
down the postoificc, Merchants Bank
block, Griffin block and all the inter
mediate frame and brick structures.
The fire then spread across and de-
youred Kupitz's store and the greater
part of the block. The flames also
spread north into the residence block
and completely Quilted it. Fircmen
were powcrless to check the inroad of
the fire, which spread to hundreds of
buildings.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
as no II vas in the freight Office
when it started. 1t is impossible to
estimate the loss ut the present time.
All wires are burned out. the Western
Union office being one of the first to
go, and the railroad Office is DESTROYED.
n temporary cut in was made to ham
die imperative business.
The Sheridan house had Il narrow
escape, but was saved. All postot1ice
supplies and fixtures are lost and
many people are homeless. The line
of fire extended from the Northern
Pacific tracks to Thaycr street on the
north and Fourth and Third streets
on the east and west. Insurance may
cover loss one-half.
Among the buildings completely de-
stroyed were: Tribune Publisbinp
company. First National bank, Post
office. Review office, land Office, sur
veyor generals Office. Northern Pa
ciiic railroad offices, baggage and X
press offices and freight warehouse,
MELONS, bank building. Every drug
store in the city burned and all lie
groceries but two, also the newspaper
Offices and the great bulk of the bust
ness portion of the city with several
blocks OF residences. Many people are
homeless.
