BISMARCK BLAZE!
Forty Business Houses and Scores
of Residences Burned on
Monday Night.
UPWARDS OF S5OO,OOO LOSS
Only One-Half Covered by Insur-
ance-Records of the Land
Office Destroyed.

Bismarck, Aug. Sire de-
stroyed the best portion of the city
of Bismarck this evening, licking
up hundreds of thousands, perhaps
a million dollars worth of prop
erty. The flames originated in
tho agents Office of the Northern
Pacific depot. Almost before they
were discovered the entire build
ing and immense warehouse of
the company was in flames. Oils
and powder contributed fuel and
before the flames could DO checked,
they had spread to the block of
brick buildings across the alley.
The flames then leaped the street
to the magnificent First National
bank building, which melted away
in q few minutes. The Central
block followed and the flames
spread to the postofdce, sweeping
over the entire block, and carry
ing down all the intermediate
frame and brick structures. The
fire then spread across and de-
voursd Kupitz's store and great
part of the block. The flames also
spread north into residence block
and completely Quilted it. The
origin Of the fire is unknown, as
no one was in the freight Office
when 1t started. It is impossible
to estimate the loss tonight.
Every drug store in the city is
burned and all groceries but two
or three, also two newspaper offices
and the great bulk of the business
portion of the city, with several
blocks of residences. The Sheri-
dan house had a narrow escape,
but was saved. All the postotfice
supplies and fixtures are lost and
many people are homeless.

DURING the political campaign
of 1896 tho employees of tho HI.
p" nail factory at Cleveland, O.,
marched in the Mckinley parade
in body, IN support Of Sound
money" Irrational HONOR" "pros-
perity" and "higher wages" 1t
was said at the time that they were
coerced by tho company, but this
charge the company Indignantly
denied, and as no motive for the
coercion was acknowledged, infant
school republicans believed the
denial. The nail employees were
supposed to have turned out in a
body unanimously, at their own
expense in lost wages for the half
day, to help along the campaign
for period OF prosperity. The
prosperity Is now mere. AT any
rate the plutocratic press is full of
assurances to that effect. It can
not be seen with the naked eye.
but the newspapers and financial
journals publish microscopic Sec
tions of it from time to time. Yet
in the midst of this period of pros
perlty those same n. p" nail
workers of Cleveland, O., who sc
valiantly bore tho banners of the
advance agent of prosperity" two
years ago, are striking-striking
not for higher wages, but against
two successive reductions in their
wages, aggregating so per cent.

A RECENT supreme court de-
cision in this state has resulted in
the Tribune Job Printing Co., of
Minneapolis, Mimi, establishing a
branch Office at Fargo in order to
get around the state law, which IT,
quires that all state and county
printing he done in the state. The
idea generally prevails that the
bulk of work work will be handled
in their Minneapolis print shop
and that their North Dakota estab.
lishment is just a down town office
for the entertainment of their
North Dakota patrons.

THE Irish American element OF
New Haven, Conn, is agitated to a
degree equalling that of the 400 of
Charleston, s. c., over the expulsion
OF an actress from ball in the city
recently The cause of the agitation,
however, is quite different. Itappears
that a Connecticut man connected
with the militia was recently ap-
pointed Consul General at Ottawa,
Can, and with a desire to show the
Kanucks a fine body of Wooden Nut
meg Soldiers, he arranged to have the
Second Regt., N. G., c., invited to par
ade in Ottowa on May gath, next, the
anniversary OF the Queens birthday.
All the other companies of the regi-
ment having voted to accept the in
vitation, Company G, the Sarsfeld
Guards, on tho recommendation of
Capt. Donovan, at a meeting Tues
day night also voted to accept. And
this caused row which will probably
result in the resignation of Capt.
Donovan, as the sentiment back of
the Guards is of such nature that it
does not look kindly upon Victorian
celebrations OF any kind.

BISHOP POTTER, of New York, has
created some discussion by pessi-
nistic statement he made in a speech
the other evening that this country
will never again see the prosperous
times it experienced between 1878 and
1898, and that we have now reached
tries where profits are not made so
rapidly as we have made them. The
Bishops assertion was made with
such positiVeness that the question of
his competency to give an opinion of
worth upon such matter has been
raised and financial men dispute the
accuracy Of his conclusions from his
own statement OF facts.

Sacred Resolutions.

Thirty years ago, says a writer, a
young man began to feel the burden
OF rapidly increasing family. His
co mons in the race of life pitied
hill @nd prophesied that he would
never get on with so large a family
dragging upon him. The young
man himself quailed before his re-
sponsibility and almost lost heart, for
he had already seven children, and
was little more than 80 years of age.
But on the last night of certain
year he made a resolution. He said
II will do my duty to my children. l
will strain every nerve to give them a
good education to fit them for max
ing their way in the worldn For
this end he toiled. His friends sighed
for his lot, and pointed to the curse
OF large family that weighed upon
him and crushed him.
That imagined curse became a
blessing. That man is now in the
sere and yellow leaf, happy, con
tended, and well provided for by his
sons and daughters, who, through
the superior education they received,
are now occupying positions in life
which may almost be termed brilliant.
This man, though poor, shaped all
his actions by the rule OF Christian
charity, honesty and truth, and his
resolutions were made in the home
by the fireside and around the family
circle, place where good resolutions,
when made, are sacred and more
likely to be remembered and kept.

To CURE NERVUOS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion

Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
Gentleman

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having 1t think that their nerves are tC
blame and are surprised that they are moi
cured by nerve medicine and spring rene
dies; the real seat of the mischief is los
sight of the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhap,
any of the usual symptoms of stomach weak,
ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly every
other organ in some cases the heart palpi
tates and is irregular; in others the kidneys
are affected in others the bowels are con
stipated, with headaches still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite
with accumulation of gas, sour risings and
heartburn.
