City News.

The nagnificient electric pillar in the
NicoIIet avenue arcade Of the S, b. Oh
son company's big store was ruined last
evening as the result of blaze in the
base of the structure. The fire was
caused by the crossing Of live wires, and
shot I'D through the interior of the pill
lar. The heat from this was the cause
of bursting the automatic water piping
in The ceiling, and considerable amount
Of water was precepitated, but did not
cause any extensive damage, the goods
in this part Of the store being promptly
covered by the salvage corps.
THE smoke, resulting from the fire,
snread to the main store, and while it
was soon evident that there was confia-
grafton on, practically no excitement was
caused among the hundreds Of shoppers
who were in the store at the time. The
throne was promptly ushered to the out
side of the building 50 that the firemeH
would have a free hand TO work in ease
the fire should extend itself. A short
time after the last spark had been ex-
tinguished business was resumed, and
Gen. S. E. Olson said that the loss would
be very slight, and would not affect the
holiday business of the establishment.
During the work of the f1remen very
dangerous position was assumed by John
Anderson, of chemical company, No. 1.
The fire was known to be on the interior
of the pillar, and near the top. To reach
this it became necessary to ran a ladder
from the second floor over against the
pillar. AS the structure was only tenn
porary one, it was not very substantial,
and swayed considerable as the fireman
climbed towards it, and many OF the
SPECTATORS held their breath, expecting
that it would give way, and precipitate
the fire fighter to the floor, thirty feet
below. The structure was, however, of
sufficient strength, and Anderson soon
had the last ember eXtinguished.
There will be a meeting of the fire in
surance adjusters at the store at 2si3o THIS
afternoon and representatives of all COM
panies interested are requested to be
present.

the appointment may be made from

'"The fact that the labor organizations

unions there than in any other two cities
In the state outside of Minneapolis. Mr.
Lott is member Of the BOOkbinders'

SIOUX CITY, 10. Dec. 22.-The divorce
of Mrs. Dixon from Rev. DR.. Joseph Dix
on, formerly pastor of the Warren Ave
nue. Baptist church, Of Boston, is of keen
interest in Sioux City and Sioux Falls,
for the reason that DR.. Dixon was pas
tor of the First Baptist church. of Sioux
Falls, in 1898, and time and again passed
through this city on his way to fill lee
ture engagements in the East. In Sioux
Falls his domestic affairs became a mat
ter of scandal before he left. He ex-
planned that his wife did not come West
with him by saying she was insane, and
at one time he tried to keep her in an
asylum Mrs. zimmerman, correspond
ent, kept house for him during his stay
in Sioux Falls. The domestic affairs OF
DR.. Dixon were yelled by him behind
reserve which never failed and although
1t was suspected that divorce was what he
sought in taking the modest charge In
expected divorce suit had to wait wears
before it was filed.
