 Orick Jackson. foreman of the Jour- nal-Miner office. who occupied room on the second floor, grabbed up some clothes and then stopped to arouse a neighboring roomer. and was compelled to jump from the railing of the second floor to the hallway beneath. the stair way being in flames. All he saved was a suit of clothes and an OvercOat.
 Dr. D. P. Kayner was very seriously burned about the head. face. back and legs in getting out of the burning building and his attending physicians state that the burns may prove fatal. He was first taken to the corner drug store. where his burns were dressed. and then removed to the Mercy hos pital. where he now lies in precarious condition.
 Charley Perkins jumped from sec ond story window and struck fence in his descent, sustaining very painful injuries to his hip and spine. He is also at the Mercy hospital.
 s. H. Garrett, a stenographer in J. J. Wragovitch's office, jumped from the third story and was pretty badly shaken up. his spine being also injured. He is being cared for at the hospital.
 Fireman Harry Campbell was told that drunken man was in room near which the flames were fiercely raging. Realizing that no time could be lost to secure anything with which to break the window. he struck it with his fist, and in doing so cut his right wrist to the bone on the glass.

owned by Miss Christine Johnson. was the scene of another fire on Monday morning at l2:45 o'clock. This makes the third fire that has occurred to the building within the past few years, but last nights proved more disastrous than any of the previous ones.
 The fire apparently started in the kitchen, as that part of the building is completely burned.
 It made rapid headway, and before being discovered the whole interior of the rear portion of the building was in flames, making it dangerous to the guests to get out by the ordinary means of egress. None in the two upper stories had time to save anything and not even time to dress. Some of them grabbed up what clothes they could and made rush for the outside clad only in their night robes.
 Many thrilling stories are told by the guests of their escape from the flames. H. NJ. Dodge. who occupied room on the third floor. started to go down stairs without attempting to save anything. Reaching the second floor he found his escape cut of by the flames and rushed back to his room and attempted to get out on the roof through dormer win dow. Being unable to raise the win dow, he again essayed to go down the stairway. and during a temporary Hull in the flames succeeded in pushing his way through with four or five others. The only thing saved by him was his night robe.
 Miss Annie Peterson, the chamber maid, proved herself quite a heroine. She was among the first to discover the fire and she went from room to room on the third floor awakening the guests, and in doing so probably saved the life of more than one of them. After hay

The result of the city election was some
what of surprise to the republicans who
confidently expected to elect their entire
city ticket. The defeat of w. K. Hall, can
didate for mayor, was great disappoint-
ment. The successful candidate, Thomas
Kerwin, made phenomenal run and sue
ceeded in turning republican majority of
800 to one of 119 in his favor. Those who
know Mr.. Kerwin have confidence that he
will prove an excellent man for the posi-
tion to which he has been chosen by the
electors THE TINES bespeaks for him a
cordial support during the coming year from
all citizens. Aside from mayor the repub-
licans elected all the city ticket, j. l.. Ash
winning the clerkship by 132 majority. s.
B. Pitts was reelected treasurer by 279 ma
jority and DR.. A. M. Hume school inspect or

stable.
The propositions to bond for $4,000 to
build a bridge across the river on Main
street, to appoint sealer Of weights and

The "Crows" were well received
last evening by an appreciative, though
rather small audience. "The Pet OF
the Klondike" was written especially

seems to have studied his subjects
well, for it is seldom that plays and
play-people are SO well harmonized.
A better Mexican villain than Mr..
Darlington, as Natal, would be hard

Irish was good, especially when trying
to make love. Mis- Orpha Crow, as the

entertaining. In fact the work of the
entire company was far above the
average. Tonight the Grows will
