Small Ere at waterloo.

Waterloo, Sept. 1S-A serious fire oc-
Cured early sunday morning and for a
time threatened the destruction of a
large portion of the business district
of the east side. An alarm was sound
ed at 2:30 and second alarm turned in
fifteen minutes later. The fire was in a
frame building on Water street owned
by Fred Stolte and occupied by Hans
Gram, who conducted restaurant

story. The interior of the building was
entirely Quilted and the flames broke
thru the sides and jumping across the
alley caught the frame work of the
brick buildings facing Fourth street.
The whole alleyway between Water and
Sycamore streets seemed on fire, but
the fremen soon had a flood of water
on every building and the danger was
past.

Named by judge Mcpherson as Clerk
of the Federal District Court.
Des Moines. Sept. Ex-senator w. G.
Macarthur, of Des Moines county, was
yesterday appointed by Judge Smith
Mcpherson to be clerk OF the United
States district court for the southern
division of Iowa. The appointment
was announced in an official communi-
cation received from the court at the
office of the clerk of courts. The APP
pointment is to take effect Jan. i.
The appointment was in the nature
LOT a surprise to hes Moines people who
have been in touch with the situation.

been rendered the appointment and it
was believed he would be the man when

q. r. Mason clerk OF the United States
circuit court for the district, and deputy
clerk at this point for the district court;
j. J. Steadman, of Council Bluffs, pres
ent clerk of the district court; Mr.. Whe-
Ian and Senator Macarthur.
The Office of clerk of the district
court is considered worth about $500 a
year at this time, but out Of this must
come the compensation of deputies at
Creston, Keokuk and Council Bluffs. the
other points at which sessions Of the
court are held. As a rule this does not
amount to a great deal, as tits arranged
to have the deputies appointed commits
sioners Of the court 30 they are compen-
sated in this way.
Mr.. Macarthur will probably remove
Ito Des Moines. as no court is held in
Huntington, and Des Moines furnishes
the bulk of business for the district.
Clerk Mason, of the circuit court, has
counted on the fees of the district court
and the Office of commissioner to make
Iup his salary. Unless an arrangement
is made by which he is continued as q
deputy here and as commissioner, it is
possible he will resign as clerk of the
circuit court. The appointment Of Nc
Arthur does not affect the clerkship OF
the circuit court, appointment to which
is accorded TO the judges of the circuit
court of appeals for this district.
