new schedule for its Chicago Special
from Denver to Chicago. Twenty seven

the Missouri River. Nowadays less time
is required for the thousand-mile run to
Lake Michigan.

AT the unseemly hours of about
, a. M, Sunday morning, the fire
whistle alarm sent forth its awful
Shrek upon the ears of the people of
our city. 1t was found that the de-
vouring flames were consuming the
rear portion of the building occupied
by Ed Rivers as meat market on the
west side of Elm Street. The prompt
arrival and the effective work of the
fire laddies saved the front part of
the building to be utilized, possibly
hereafter by Mr.. Hollister in its re-
removal out among the urban popula-
tion in the rural districts. The build
ing also caught fire twice again, once

DESTROYED by Lightning.

Last Friday afternoon at about
O'Clock lightning struck one of the
barns of j. X. johnson, living in the
south part of New Oregon, setting it
on fire. Mr.. johnson had put his team
in the barn and had barely time to
get it out before the barn was envel-
oped in flames. He had two large
barns, a granary and machine shed
all so near each other that all were
burned, together with wagons, harveS-
ters, mowers, 2O00 bushels of grain
and probably some of his domestic
animals. The house stood some dis
tance to the southeast of the destroy
ed buildings and escaped the general
confagration. We did not learn of
there being any insurance upon them,
without which his loss must be near
$4,000. Old settlers will locate the
premises as the Talif Olson farm, op-
posite the one owned in those days by
John Shaw, now of Clinton, Wis.
