The Midway,

The Midway streets of the Greater
America Exposition at Omaha this year
will TEEN with unique attractions. AS
was true of the exposition of 1898 this
section of the forthcoming show will
prove to be the most powerful magnet
on the grounds. Concessionaires have
already paid in thousands of dollars as
first payment money and nearly hun
bred applications are now on file await.
ing acceptance by the managers. These
if accepted would net the exposition
about $4,000. The Midway this year,
however, will be far different in all par.
ticulars from that of a year ago, as, in
deed, will be the entire Exposition. 1t
is new deal all around.

A Now Rnilding Blazes

At 1880 Monday night, when,the
good people of lola had sought sweet
repose, the fire bell rang out on the
still night, sounding the alarm which
was responded to promptly by every
body who was up. The first crowd
ran to the engine room and learning
there where the fire was located, for
there was no blaze visible to direct
them, they hurried with the engine
to the new row of buildings on west
Madison avenue recently finished.
The fire was in the reor of the two
east buildings and was smoldering
viciously, the thick smoke preventing
the blaze making headway. The
fret room is occupied by Gus Kran-
Mich with his tailoring shop and the
next by Walt McNiel with his jewel
ry store. At first the blaze was viai-
BILE only in the latter room and the
door was burst open and an entrance
made. 1t was then discovered that
the fire was mainly IN the other room.
A thin board partition separates the
rooms and the fire was burning up
from the base of this, having started
in the rear of the tailor shop. The
origin of the fire is disputed. Some
claimed that it must have started in
box of rags in the tailor shop, but
the majority think ii caught from a
gas regulator in the ceiling near the
partition. A long crack in the plas-
ter, starting from the regulator box
would seem to indicate an explosion,
When the doors of the two rooms
were open and the draft Of air passed
through, the blaze increased, but one
charge of the chemical engine quick y
eXtinguished it. A few buckets OF
water were carried and thrown
through the rear door, but the fire
was over.
Nearly everything in the tailor shop
was ruined by smoke or burned, but
aside from little smoke, some blis-
tered paint and two new curtains
stained by the chemicals, Walt Nc.
Mel suffered little damage.

moved into this room and his insur

1t PAYS to Advertise.

There was a thunder storm in the
REGISTER office Tuesday morning. A
very wrathful lady called and after
reading the riot act to the force in
dividually and collectively che
threatened the paper with q suit for
damages unless she had her way. 1t
seems that she had two line local
inserted last week that she wanted a
hired girl. The next morning good
one applied and got the job. BY
some error the local was not taken
out and applications in droves have
deem wearing out the front steps and
the psrlor carpet daily and she thinks
this paper ought to buy her new
carpet. Arbitration has been re.
sorted to and peaceful adjustment is
hoped for. But it all shows that it
shall we say it--pays to advertise in
