Two Fires,

Fire was discovered at 6 O'Clock
Saturday s.morning in the house,
corner Sixth avenue northeast. oc-
cupied by c. E. Whitford and family.
The family all slept upstairs. Mr..
Whitford found the front room down
stairs ablaze IAN after getting the
out family turned in an alarm which
brought both chemical companies
out. The house was some distance
from a hydrant. The chemicals
put the blaze out. The
house was considerably damaged
and much of the household goods
destroyed.
The large two-story frame building
on the corner of Sixth street and
First avenue northeast, owned by
Mrs. W. H. Buskirk, and occupied
by her son-in-law, Jos. Oronner, and
family, was badly damaged by fire
Monday evening. The alarm was
given about 9 O'Clock and the de-
partment was on hand in good time,
but the structure was all ablaze when
they reached it. A bursted hose caused
some delay, but three streams and
both chemicals played on the build
ing. The fremen saved the contents
OF the parlor, including the piano.
There had been no one at home for
several hours, the family having gone
visiting after dinner and not return
ed. Mr.. O'Connor was down town.
Mrs. w. n. Buskirk. who owned
the house and the articles saved, had
$1,000 insurance on the house, and
$3.50 insurance On furniture. The
house will probably have to be torn
down to be rebuilt.
Mr.. O'Conner aid family lost all
their household and personal goods,
and had no insurance. Their loss is
about 500.

Mana, a little dau glitter OF Jos. L.
Meyer, had marvellous escape
FROM death Tuesday afternoon
about 4:3O o'clock. In crossing the
street from C. 81. Browns drug store
to the First National bank, the little
girl passed in front of the delivery
team of the Tanner Mercantile Co.
A dog jumped at her and she started
back, getting in front Of the rapidly
going team, The neckyoke struck
her and she fell between the horses,
who were brought to stop, but
reared and aroundbounded the child.
The horses passed on, and the child
was picked up-to the surprise OF the
spectators, not hurt at all. MIR.
Meyer witnessed the scene from the
sidewalk, and expected to find his
child dying. It took several hours
for the little girl to get over her
scare.

fourteen and half feet high. These
locomotives are the compound pat
tern, whereby the steam, after hay
ing been used in one cylinder, is used
the second time in another cylinder,
and the expansive or utmost power
OF the steam is thus obtained. These
engines will also supply steam for
heating the. train and operating the
dynamos to supply electricity for
lighting the cars.
Each North Coast Limited train
will have eight cars, i. e.. express,
baggage, second-class coach and
combination smoker. first class coach
tourist sleeping car and tn observa-
ton car, each OF which will be light
ed by electricity. The whole train
will also be equipped with wide yes

end the electric plant. This consists
OF an eight and a half by eight-inch
cylindered steam engine, a twenty
five Kilowatt Westinghouse dynamo
with complete switchboard appara-
tus This plant will generate
an electric current Of 300 amperes
at pressure OF 125 volts. The
smoking cars, or second-class coach
es, are divided by Il partition, one
half being for the use of second-class
passengers and the remainder used
for smoking car. The tirst-class

prove a source of surprise and de-

the tourist sleeping car will be a

mahogany, with Persian brass
trimmings throughout; the exterior
will be OF standard Pullman color.
1t is claimed for these cars that
they will combine all OF the COM
forts Of the library car, so called: all
the good points Of the old-style OBJ
servation car, and new features
never introduced in car building
heretofore. At the forward entrance
OF this car, along the side of " hich
runs a corridor forty-two feet in
length, will be found two smoking
and card rooms. seven by eight feet,
with folding tables, and six uphol-
stored wicker chairs. These smok-
ing rooms will be entirely shut off
from the remainder OF the car, and
with excellent ventilation, will
prove Il new and striking feature
that will appeal to the lovers of the
weed. Adjacent to the smoking
room will be found the gen tlemen's
toilet room. In the center OF the
car will be the barber shop. bath
room and buffet. At the end of the
corridor and at the entrance to the
ladies' parlor will be found a read
ing room, writing desk, and library
OF 125 carefully selected volumes Of
the most recent literature. On the
reading table will be such standard
monthly magazines as Harper's,
Scribner's, Century, McClure's. and
such illustrated weeklies as Frank
Leslie's, Harper's, Puck, Life and
Judge. The ladies' parlor will be
nine feet in width by twenty-three
feet in length. This parlor, or OBJ
servation room, will contain four
teen portable wicker chairs, uphol-
stored in plush of a color that will
harmonic with the dark green viii
ton carpet on the floor. The plate
glass windows will be large-four
feet wide-thus giving the traveller
every opportunity to see, at his
! ACA0NACs OAAN SOuACAJ CAAOuSA W A1Cu
the train is passing. Electric fans
for ventilating purposes will keep
the air of this car sweet and pure.
The rear platform, surrounded by a
handsome brass railing. will be six
and a half feet long, partially en-
closed by the extended sides of the
car, and entirely covered by a dome.
Attached to the center of the rear
railing of this car there will he q
large trademark of the Northern
Pacific. This will be Illuminated at
night by nine electric lights and, be-
ing thus lighted all night, will he a
unique feature of this train as it,
speeds across prairies and noun
tains.
With such trains as these running
between st. Paul, Mimi, and Port
land, Ore, it is certain that the peo-
ple~of the Northwest will feel that
the enterprise of the Northern Pa
cifc Railway, in thus providing such
spendid accommodations, will merit
it's full share OF the passenger traffic.

In recent interview at Lincoln,

tion of the Eastern democrats:
1.-The destiny of the Chicago platform
was settled by the declaration OF Nebras-

Debating it now. The. democrat tic party

passage quoted for their consolation.

cut having a time after their own Pc
c'Iliar fashion. They were somewhat
under the influence OF liquor and de-
manded some diversion. Some one
suggested hanging dog. and the idea
met with general approval. The dog
and the rope were secured. The only
thing in sight on which they could hang
their victim was high sapling. One OF
them finally consented to climb this and
by HE weight bear it's top branches to
the ground, where the dog might be
tied to them. and the sapling then al
lowed to snap back into place. The
volunteer Skinned up the sapling but all
his weight would not bring the top
nearer than twenty feet from the ground
Re tried to crawl back, but in his di-
lapidated condition was unable to do

ready to scratch straw and scratch
