INCENDIARY AT WORK.
Two Fires Within a Week Started
in cullom & Co.'S Liquor
House.
s1,oooLoss IN LAST NIGHTS BLAZE
Window Broken and Match Thrust
into Straw in Store
Room.

About o'clock last evening a fire
was discovered in the rear of John
Collum & Co.'S wholesale liquor
store on Seventeenth street. The de-
partment was quickly summoned and
made short work of it, but not before
damage of nearly $1,000, according to
the firms statement. had been done.
This is the second blaze started in
the building within the past few days,
and both originated among crates of
empty bottles packed in straw, stored
in the rear end of the room. No one
was in the store when last nights fire
was discovered. 1t was first seen by
people living near and was burning
near the ceiling close to the rear win
dow. The window was broken and il
seems likely that some one thrust q
lighted match into the straw from the
outside. A gasoline engine and a s.
gallon tank of gasoline were on the
upper floor directly over the fire, and
several barrels of whisky were stored
a short distance away.
Heat Breaks Bottles.
The damage, which is covered by
insurance, was caused by smoke and
the breaking of hundreds of heated
bottles when the water was turned on.
The family of James Willis occupied
rooms on the second floor. Mrs. Will
lis and her daughter had a narrow es-
cape from being overcome by smoke.

AMUSEM ENTS.

Farce comedy in its best expression
will be the attraction offered at Har-
per's theatre next Wednesday even
ing, when Messrs. Murray and Mack
will offer their famous farce comedy,
"Finnigan's Ball" This attraction
comes fresh from triumphant engage
ments in all OF the larger cities and
has succeeded in repeating former
victories, playing to the capacity Of
the theatres nightly. Farce comedy
when well presented is always an APP
preciated entertainment. Lively
tunes, spirited dances, numerous
songs, good natured and fresh nom
sense form a very p1latable amuse-
ment dish. Special scenery is carried
intact for each act by the management
for the proper presentation of the
.'skit."
Mcintyre and Heath's comedians,
one of the best vaudeville and farce
shows of the season, comes to Har-
per's theatre Sunday evening. The
company has been selected from all
the prominent actors who have ap-
peared during the season at Pastor 5,
Keith's, Proctor's, Hammerstein's
and Roster and Balls theatres. The
three Nevaros, the Young America
uuintette, DereDda and Breen, the
great Bickuelle. Maud Mcintyre, Coul-
ter and Starr, and McWatters and
Tyson are among the features The
show closed unlike any other vaude-
Vile show, as Messrs. Mcintyre and
Heath have written new farce, in
which they appear supported by the
entire company.
