GREAT MILL FIRE.
Loss of Sl6O,OOO Caused by burning Of
Hungarian Mills In Denver.

Loss of Sl6O,OOO Caused by Turning Of
Hungarian Mills In Denver.
The grain elevator attached to the
Hungarian mills in Denver caught fire
Yesterday afternoon shortly before 4
o'clock and the resulting damage was
estimated at $4,000. The insurance
will cover the loss.
The plant of the Hungarian Mills and
Elevator company is located on Wazee
street and occupies the block between
Eighth and Ninth. 1t consists of three
separate buildings. The mill stands
near Eighth street, the elevator fifty feet
distant from the mill. The Office build
ings are near the elevators and face
Seventh street.
When the central station hremen
reached the elevator the west end of the
roof was burning 6ercely. Soon the en-
tire upper part of the building was afre.
A second alarm, which calls all the com.
panies in the city except three. had been
turned in.
To the onlookers there appeared to be
not more than one chance in thousand
of checking the flames, Yet within the
space of an hour the 6remen were in
complete control of the situation. While
the destruction of property was enor-
nous, there has never been witnessed in
Denver better performance of the fire

W0NDERFULE EXHIBITION
Some Of the Great Features Of the First
Greater America Exposition.
THE SUPERB ELECTRICAL DISPLAY
From July to November 4 the City Of
Omaha Will Welcome visitors to .
Magnificent Exhibitions. "a Lt

Since the institution of the first
primitive fair for the exchange Of
wares among ancient tradesmen, it
has been grander and more interesting
than its immediate predecessors. The
Greater America Exposition will be no
exception to this rule. In the variety
and novelty of its educational and
amusement features 1t will without
question surpass the exposition of 1898.
Its exhibits are not only more numer-
Gus, but more novel and instructive
than were those of year ago. The
amusement concessions, also more nu-
merous, present many novelties and
all are srander in design and propor-
tions than those of any former exposi-
tion. The illuminations and pyrotech-
nical displays will be upon scale of
magniticence heretofore not attempted,
and line of special features and days
is contemplated Of almost sensational
interest.
One of the crowning features Of
the exposition is the electrical illumi-
nation. The display Of last year was
conceded to be the most effective ever

In the mater of exhibits the First
Greater America Colonial Exposition
has been most fortunate. When the
exposition was first talked of some
doubt was expressed as to the possible
ity OF securing sufficient number of
attractive exhibits to fill the immense
buildings, but that doubt has been OBJ
scured by the necessity of economlzing
space In order that all who applied
might be accommodated. The United
States government building contains
a special exhibit. The untlre contents
Of the famous Libby Prison War Mu-
scum are displayed. 1t is composed Of
the relics of the wars OF this nation,
and is of great historical importance
and value. In one part of the building
will be shown an immense collection

war with Spain; the campaign in Gu

wAshington Ladies' Suffer From . Klepto
The upper crust Of Washington So
ciety Is just now. agitated by little
sensation. 1t is trifling matter, to
be sure, but It involves mystery md
the good name of one Of the prominent
women In the diplomatic corps. Last
winter several ladies who gave fine
dinners and luncheons missed doylies.
Some of them were of expensive en-
broidery, others of rich lace, and
while they are little, useless orna-
ments, a set represents good deal of
money. and to lose one of n set Is to
make the others practically useless, as
everybody knows. 1t Is common at
state dinners to call in caterers who
provide the table attendants, and many
a serious consultation took place be-
tween fashionable caterers and hospi-
table women over the disappearance of
these doylies, which, Of course, was
charged to the servants. Finally the
leading caterer Of the capital called the
attention of one of the cabinet ladies'
to a singular coincidence.
Doylies had been missed at every one
Of half dozen dinners and luncheons
he had served where the wife of a GER
tain foreign minister had been guest.
None had ever disappeared when she
was not present. It was a startling
suggestion that would not do to re-
peat. The lady might be a klepto-
maniac, but to accuse her Of stealing
would cause International complica-
tons for which nobody cared to as
sumo the responsibility. The caterers
whose walters had been accused held
q conference. They decided among
themselves that the woman referred to
was guilty, but dared not accuse her
even to exculpate themselves; 30 they
devised novel scheme, and when
they found her name on a dinner card
they removed the valuable doyly from
her plate at the table and substituted
one Of those cheap paper affairs that
you find In the restaurants. The ruse
was successful. There was NO more
complaint.
Three or four months passed by. The
incident was almost forgotten, when a
matronly woman, evidently Of Irish
bleed, who declined to give her name,
called at the residences of the vice
president, several members Of the
cabinst and diplomatic corps and at
pFivate houses where the upper cult are
frequently entertained, and Inquired II
the lady of the house had missed any
Of her doylies last winter; II 20, would
she kindly get the pattern. When a
sample was brought the mysterious
visitor retired into q corner, with an
apology, and pretty soon handed back
the sample with the missing piece of
laes or embroidery. In this way nearly
an Of the missing doylies have been
returned without any further explana-
don, although the general understand
ing u that their recovery iR due to the
confessional Of the Catholic church.

Swapping RnIlrna d .

The only straight-out railroad swap
ever heard of was when the Santa Fe
company traded Its Mexican division.
which runs from Benson. Arizona, to
Guaymus. the chief port Of the Gulf Of
California, for a line owned by the South
ern Pacific, from the Needles to Mohave,
in the California desert. The Sonora
branch OF the Santa Fe was 1853 miles long
Pacific was only 240. but the difference In
the construction and equipment made
them about the same value. and the ex-
change was even on both sides. Thus the
Southern Pacific got a line to the Gulf OF
California and an important Mexican
trade. and the Santa e got to the Pacific
ocean via Los Angeles and San Diego.
E. +. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe,
and Mr.. Huntington, of the Southern Pa
cific, made the trade as easily as II they
