TWO WOMEN BECOME VICTIMS
OVERCOME WITH EXCITEMENT
AND COULD NOT BE REACHED
BY RESCUERS
HALF A MILLION IN LOSSES
Estimated That Nearly That Amount
of Damage Was Done to Prop
erty-Great Northern
Depot Burned.

EDINBURGH, N. D., April 2O.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-THE most disastrous fire ever
known in Walsh county occurred in this
city this afternoon. 1t wiped out the en-
tire business portion of the town, and two
women perished in the flames.
All that remains to mark the location
of a once prosperous village is the burn
ing debris. Entire families are without
homes and many will be compelled to
spend the night out of doors.
The food supply is running short, and
unless arrangements are made to bring
supplies from neighboring towns, The
homeless ones will undergo distress and
hunger.
Mrs. Jacob Lindall, wife Of a former
prominent merchant, and bride of but q
few months, and Mrs. B. Bjernson were
burned to death. They occupied rooms
in a two-story building, and are supposed
to have been overcome with excitement.
Attempts were made to get to their apart
ments, but without avail
The exact origin of the fire is a mystery.
All that is known is that 1t started in the
rear of Domstad & Co.'S drug store.
The town was fairly well provided with
fire protection, as protection goes in
small towns, and but for the heavy wind
the fire could have been gotten under
control.
=" HEAVY LOSS.
A conservative estimate places the loss
at $4O0, 900. with not over 100000 insurance.
The Great Northern railway company S
depot was burned, and while an engine
, was at work pulling box cars from the
flames, the rails spread and 1t tumbled
into ditch. The woodwork ignited and
the engine is partially ruined.
The track is burned east and west for
some distance, and Supt Donkin, of the
Great Northern, is on the ground with a
crew of men and wrecking apparatus. 1t
is not likely that a train will be gotten
out for some time.
Two large elevators burned, one having
in store several thousand bushels of
grain.
The Robertson Lumber company lost It's
entire stock and buildings.
Five general merchandise stores, two
drug stores, two hardware stores and
three implement houses, one bank, two
hotels, two livery stables and many other
buildings were burned

lief Columns - Advance
From BloemfOntein.

ALIWAL NORTH, April 20 Capt. Lit
Mr.. Milne, a correspondent, fell into the
hands OF the enemy while they were
trying to reach Wepener a week ago.
Everything was taken from the prisoners,
who were sent to Pretoria. Their native
servants, who escaped from the Boer
laager near Wepener, say that there were
four guns disabled, and that the Beers
had lost 100 killed alone. 1t Is also
ascertained that the Beers made a night
attack on April II, but were discovered
while creeping along a deep ditch by
Cape mounted rifles, with Maxims, who
fired into them at a distance Of 200 yards
with the result that the Beers lost Ave
wagon loads Of killed and wounded. A
simultaneous attack in other quarters
was repulsed by the British, who used
their bayonets.
The Beers still surround Wepener, but
there has been little doing lately.
WATCHING RELIEF COLUMNS.
MAsERU, Basutoland, April 19.-The
Beers continue to move around Wepener,
going In all directions from which relief
columns are expected. Desultory cannon
firing and sniping have been going on
all day with scarcely any reply from Col.
Dalgety's forcA
The Caledon river rose considerably
during the night. This made the Beers
uneasy, as they fear separation. Some
reinforcements arrived for them, coming
apparently from Thaba N'Chu or that
direction. Our casualties up to date are
believed to have been Is killed and 110
wounded.
Owing to the heavy rain and clouds
heliographing has been impossible for
the last two days.

OPEN CONFESSION, GOOD FOR THE SOUL.


Dispatch Editorial, Jan. 9. 1900
1.-THE st. Paul taxpayer is in a very
hopeful frame Of mind just now, and why
should he be other than hopeful? The
future contains no menace to him. No
matter who may be elected mayor; no
matter how the garbage may be col
fected;' no matter what the board of pub
lie works may conclude to do or how it
decides not to do 1t; the taxpayer may
look the situation confidently and calmly
in the face with the definite assurance
In his heart that it can't be worse than
1t has been. And when anybody, taxpayer
or taxeater. reaches that point, he can
sleep O. nights and smile by day.

The indications are that the residents
of Rice street will soon have the doubtful
pleasure of travelling over brick pave
ment, whether they want 1t or not. and
whether or not the property assessed be
worth the price of the Improvement. In
every case the right of the individual is
subordinate to the right Of the general

whether it is the public good or the good
of the paving combine that is being con-

Fees Reduced.

A bill fixing the fees OF witnesses
and jurors in United States Courts
in the States and Territories west OF
the Mississippi passed the Senate on
Tuesday. Hereafter persons sum-
monsd to appear as jurors or wit
nesses before the United States Court
at Carson will receive five cents for
each mile travelled ia going to and
returning from such court, and Is
cents for each mile necessarily trav-
eled over any stage line or by private
conveyance.
People IN this part Of Nevada will
pray that they may be excused from
attending sessions of the United
States Court in any capacity what
ever. While our people are patriotic
and liberal, they feel that the Gov
eminent is amply able to pay an
amount sufficient to defray tie actu-
al expenses Of parties who are com
PEELED to attend sessions OF court,
and the amount fixed by the bill falls
far short Of this. 1t is rank injustice
to the people residing on the branch
lines of railroads in Nevada, and an
exception should certainly be made
in their case.
