SAD NEWS FRoM HASTINGS.

The intelligence of the grave disaster
which has befallen our sister community
of Hastings, which was published exclu-
sively in yesterdays G o b e, and the
fuller particulars of which are contained
in our columns this morning, was indeed
very ungrateful news to furnish our read
ers on Christmas morning. The G o Q
would have been glad to have avoided the
painful necessity; but the demand for the
prompt dissemination of news of impor-
lance leaves little chance to the enter
prising newspaper in such cases.
The calamity would not have reached
anything like It's immense proportions
were it not for the high wind prevailing.
Bad as the ravages CT fire may be, they
are happily not to be compared with the
awful consequences such as befell another
of our promising municipal neighbors,
when Sd many of the people Of New Rich
nlond were in a moment doomed to pain
| full death, and all the people of that de-
voted community Invested Of their avail
| able earthly possessions. The aid which
St. Paul has been able to render to the
people of Hastings has been followed by
better immediate results than in the sad
der case of New Richmond; but it will be
gratifying to all Dur people that, in both
cases, the aid which we were in a position
to offer was given freely, and was made
the best possible use of in both cases.
AS in the far sadder case CT New Rich
mcnd Hastings will, with the aid Of that
inGomitable courage and energy peculiar
to American communities, speedily lift it
self from the ruin brought upon its peo-
pie, and present itself III the future as
even more signal instance than in the
past of the enterprise, prosperity and
thrift Of its people, as we'll as Of the peo-
pie Of that section of Dakota courty.

JOHN C. HUBINGER.
Western Capitalist, Manufact-
urer and PhiIanthrOpist.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle. west is
famous, Mr.. John C. Hubinger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without peer. AS
manufacturer, as an enterprising cap
italist and as a philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but At years of
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bOuntiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course of
time he became the head of concern
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstazing study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made a

He Refused to Answer.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. ia. n.
Doerschuk, druggist at the corner of
Twelfth street and Grand avenue, was
sentenced to Jail by ]. ]. Vineyard,
who is taking testimony in the drug
ombine inquiry. Doerschuk refused to
answer questions about the Kansas
City Pharmaceutical association, of
which he is a member. j. V. C. Karnes,
attorney for the druggist, raised the
point that the law does not permit a
court to compel man to testify against
himself in criminal proceeding. He
argued that this was a criminal pro-
ceeding, because, if guilty, the drug
gists are liable to heavy fine.
