Fierce FIRE N REPUBLIC.
THE BUSINESS CENTER BURNED
Caused by "a Defective Flue-It Spread
Rapidly-No Lives Were Lost - High
Wind Blew-Fire Checked by Dyna-
mite-RebuildingH Has Begun.

Republic, Wash, June 5.-The fire
broke out in the Spiegle building, due to
the stovepipe telescoping. In 10 minutes
the house was a mass OF flames. The
building was occupied by County Auditor
Spieele, by roomers, and as county office
upstairs, while the lower floor was used
as Il jewelry store by S. Burnette and by
r. b. Curry as broker. The fire soon
spread to the Republic bank building.
IRON that moment it was seen that the
town was doomed, unless heroic measures
prevailed. The Woodhouse Wells build
ing, four doors south, was blown up with
dynamite. Then followed the residence
of H. l.. Percy. This did not effect any
good, and as all the buildings intervening
were doomed, it was decided to blow up
the Occur d'Alene saloon and the Republic
Trading Company's store. South from
these there were several vacant lots, and
that stopped the fire.
In the meantime the wind, which had
been coming form the north, veered to the
southeast, causing the flames to cross the
street. The Montana saloon was the first
to get on fire, then followed the Dewey
saloon, and the other buildings on the
east side of Clark avenue followed quickly
The progress of the flames was arrested
by broad street. Much of the furniture
was removed from the buildings, and the
was considerably damaged.
The burned District.
The burned district was the heart of the
business center of the camp. Eight sa
looms, five eating houses, one drug store
one bank, one cigar and tobacco store
one bakery, two barber shops, two meat
markets, two grocery and general mer
chandise stores and several brokers' of
fees were burned, and several professional
men lost their places of business. The to
tai loss will be about $67 900.
Saloons Ordered Closed.
There was much liquor stolen during the
fire and in result there were a great many
drunken men. The commissioners ordered
the sheriff to close all the saloons unit
tomorrow under penalty OF forfeiture o
licenses.
The county records were saved, but tn,
new books that were received day sine
were burned This is loss of $3.50 to tn
county. While there will be a great dea
of building going on, the present force o
carpenters will be able to do all the work
Perhaps a few very skillful ones might ge
employment for a month or two if the,
came.
There will be no suffering for food. Al
will have shelter.

dition.
While the funeral procession was return
ing from the cemetery one of the carriages

year-old daughter, mangling her in a hor-
rible manner.

Excitement Prevailed.

Paris, June 6.-There were violent
scenes in the chamber of deputies yester-
day afternoon, owing to the royalist de-
nunciations of President Loubet.
Soldiers on duty had to expe the chief
anti-Loubet speaker NJ. Rious de Lagen-
taye. After de Lagentaye had been re-

Medical Lake, Wash, June 5.-W. P.
George, a guest at the Alhambra hotel,
was found dead in his room. He went to
bed the night before apparently as well
as usual, and about o'clock in the morn
ing Mr.. Pape, who occupied the next room,
heard him snore. Not presenting himself
for breakfast the chambermaid knocked
at his door and receiving no answer left,
thinking he had oversight. When his room
was entered at noon he was found dead.
All the circumstances go against the sup
position that he committed suicide 1t is
conjectured that he died of heart disease
brought on by rheumatism, from which
he was suffering.

The San Poll Road.

Republic, Wash, June Good pro-
gress is being made in constructing the
San Poll wagon road. There are several
miles of it that can be travelled with
wgaons, but the easiest part has been
constructed first. Flows and scrapers have
done the work so far. There will be very
little blasting necessary between Republic
and the West fork, but there is a great
deal of it that is over very rocky ground
and there is also good deal of slide rock
on the route.

to welcome Major Marchand, the African
explorer A tremendous shout announced
the arrival of the popular idols train.

lunch was given in his honor. Delirious
enthusiasm attended every step of Mar
Glands progress. The crowds, in spite of
the police, broke into the procession and
cut off Marchand's carriage from the
others and surrounded it, cheering and
waving hats and sticks.
Several generals and admirals were
among the guests at the lunch served to
Marchand and his companions. The ex-
plorers will be received by President Lou
bet this afternoon.

woMEN's ODD PETS.
Pigs, Frogs, Turkeys and Even Nice
Have Found Favor with
the Ladies.

Some minds are strildngly original.
even in the choice of pets Certainly
this was the case with the wife Of a
gentleman farmer who made pet Of
a pig. The animal lost its mother
early, and the lady, taking pity on the
little orphan, bore it off to the kitchen,
where she succeeded, by the aid of a
feeding bottle, in rearing it.
The pig became great pet, and used
to follow its owner like dog. 1t
could hardly have been its outward
attraction that won her heart; it must
have been its qualities which endeared
it to her.
Another very singular pet was 9
frog, which was tanned by young
girl in the country and would come out
from under the leaves at her approach
to be fed with a strawberry.
A lady who was confined to her room
had a fowl which, before her illness,
was constant companion. 1t used to
be regularly brought to her room every
morning to see her and to be fed by
her own hands, and allowed to take
a short walk about her room.
Another member of the feminine
gender actually made pet of turkey,
and declared it should never be
eaten, but die in its own good time"
which it did of old age.
A much more extraordinary in
stance of a strange pet, for woman
at any rate, was where All old lady SO
far overcame the natural repugnance
of her sex as to tame mouse which
had been caught in her store cupboard.
So successful was her treatment that
at last the tiny animal would take
crumbs from its mistress fingers.
