SAVED BY THE DOG.

Clarence Yeatter and family had
about as close call for being burned
alive last Friday night as most anyone
would care to experience. He was
awakened along about one o'clock by
the faithful family dog which slept in
a woodshed adjacent to the house.
The dog was barking loudly and jump
ing and scratching at the bedroom
window When Mr.. Yeatter awoke
the smoke was so thick it seemed as
though he would suffocate, but exert
ing all his energy he hastily doned
some clothing and with child under
each arm made his exit through the
window. Having placed them in safe
ty he went back after his wife. She
had attempted to reach a sum OF mon
ey they had in the house but withou
success and lay across the bed In a
faint. He also carried her out and
then with few neighbors that had ar
rived attempted to save some Of the
furniture but such was the headway
the flames had acquired that their eff
orts in that direction were unavailing.
The loss falls quite heavy upon Mr..
Yeatter, as they were absolutely
stripped of everything even to their
clothing. Loss $500; insurance little
over $500, in Sandell's agency. The
building was near the Pere Marquette
tracks in the first ward and was owned
by A. N. Belding. Loss upon it about
$500; insurance $500 in Wagner e
agency which was adjusted Wednes-
day at the full amount. Origin OF the
fire unknown.

AN EXPLANATION.
The Mayor states the Facts Regarding
the Bond Issue of Last Fall to Correct
False Impressions.


To THE TAXPAYERS:-So many tax
payers have asked in the last few
weeks, regarding the issue of the
bonds, and the manner of disposing OF
same, that before going out of the Of
flee of mayor OF your city, / wish to
make statement in regard thereto.
The primary object of the bond issue,
was for the purpose OF raising funds to
bring into our city, certain new in
dustries, and to enable the city to pay
the taxes on such industries, for term
of years, as an inducement to get such
factories located in this city.
To make the act legal, and justify
the city, in issuing such bonds, it was
necessary to follow out the method re-
quired by our charter, and to vote up
on the same, as bonds for water-works
purposes. The vote was taken, and
carried by large majority, viz: by
about 400 in favor thereof, to AS against.
The vote taken was for las specified
by the ballots) the purchase OF piece
of land containing about ten acres, for
water works purposes and public parks.
This step was necessary to be taken,
to get around point of law and make
the bond issue legal, and give the said
bonds legal value, so'that the money
could be raised thereon, by sale, to pay
the taxes on "A certain mill to be erect
ed by Belding Bros, as well as the
mills that might be built in the future.
The vote was taken TO issue the bonds,
and carried, the bonds were legally is
sued and sold, and the city treasury
then came into possession of the said
10000 dollars.
The Belding Bros. then decided to
the city, free, the 10 acres of land.
The city officials then placed the sl0,-
900 derived from the sale OF the bonds,
in the hands of certain committee or
trustees, and taking from these trustees
bond of over $4,000 to secure the city
from loss.
The committee of trustees then
loaned the money out and are receiy-
ing per cent interest thereon which
is one per cent more than the interest
the city has to pay on its bonds, and
this interest is paid back to the city
by the trustees. y
The parties to whom the money is
loaned have given ample security
therefor, thus making both the city
and the committee absolutely secnre.
Many people have understood that
Belding Bros. received the 100000
for the 10 acres of land decided by
them to the city, which is mistake,
as Belding Bros. have donated this
land Free as has been above stated
A letter has been received from
Belding Bros, stating that they ex-
pect to be in this city next week, for
the purpose of locating the new mill
and to commence the construction
thereof, at once, which .is good news
to US all.

GUS SUNS MINsTRELs.

Gus Sun at the head Of his celebrated
minstrel company visited Kalamazoo
for the first time last night and the en-
tire organization was given a most
cordial greeting at the Academy.
There are 30 people in the Sun troupe
and among the number are some really
clever black-face artists; the vocalists
and dancers are fully up to the aver
age, the comedians are natural born
fun-makers and the specialties, with
out exceptions, were highly entertain
ing.
The stage setting in the first part
was very unique and attractive and
the costuming Of the vocal contingent
and orchestra quite elaborate. The
star of the warblers was George F'iske,
tenor; he has clear, strong, ringing
voice and after singing 81 Can't Tell
Why Love You" was encored several
times. Sam Horner's Liam, Lam,
Lam" made hit, as did the bass solos
OF +. w. Chapman.
OF the olio feature the best were the
Musical Bells, Paul and Arthur, Gus
Sun in his wonderful juggling and bal
ancing act, and the "turn" Of Horner
and Diamond, acrobatic comedians.
The Sun Minstrels travel in a spec
ial car and put up good front all
around. Their band is fine and daisy
one and the street parade is we'll worth
seeing. Kalamazoo Gazette March 16.

Sioux City, Ia, Dec 26.-The "luck-
lest man in Iowa. is B. NJ. Bills,
jeweler at Vinton, who at a mammoth
rattle in Sioux City Monday drew the
John PIERCE mansion, the finest resi-
dence in Sioux City. 1t cost S57 900,
and the property on which it stands
is valued at $1,000, making a total of
$4,000. The lucky number was 3d.
1865, and Bills paid 81 for the ticket.
John Peirce was one of the ''oig four"
in Sioux City's boom days, and was
rated as a millionaire. At Twenty
Ninth and Jackson streets he built a
stone mansion, and in front of his
doors ran his own cable cars. When
the crash came 1t carried away Peirce's
wealth. The house was mortgaged,
but he retained his title to it.
Recently he conceived the scheme Of
rattle in order to raise money enough
to pay the mortgage and give him a
margin. With all his old-time energy
and enthusiasm he engineered the
deal to successful conclusion. Tick
cts were sold all over the country, and
nearly every family In Sioux City had
at least one. Bills is said to be wealthy,
being the Junior member of the firm
of j. A. Bills & Son. He is a young
married man.

THINK THEY WILL GET GROVE
Man Suspected of Knowing all About the
Cudahy kidnapping Case.


st. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 26. = Pat
Grove, alleged to be one of the kid
napers of young Cudahy, of Omaha, is
in this city, according to the police,
who, it is said, hope to effect his capt
ure soon. Grove has many friends
here who have frequently aided him
to a retreat when the police of the
country were after him.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 26.-That bay
pony found at Pacific Junction, Ia,
Friday morning in the stable of Mrs.
Bud Mack is the horse of the kidnapers
of Eddie Cudahy is firmly believed by
the Omaha police and the authorities
at Pacific Junction. The horse was
found after neighbors had noticed a
strange man coming from the barn
in the early morning. The animal will
be brought to Omaha. Cudahy de-
clares himself pleased with the prog
ress of the case, and believes that the
kidnapers will be apprehended.
Both Cudahy and the police have
been receiving letters from "Eloise
r." who has been writing from Gin
cinnati, asking why the police think
Pat Grove is one of the kidnapers, by
what law he could be punished, etc.
The letters are written on Windsor no.
tel stationary, Omaha, two months
old, under a former management. The
letters have apparently been mailed
to Cincinnati from here and remailed
by confederate. Other letters are
from crankS and sympathizers.

GOOD WORKS ON CHRISTMAS.
Hungry Fed In All the Great Cities-Char'

Chicago, Dec. 26.-A feature of the
Christmas celebration in Chicago was
the bountiful provision made to car
~ good cheer to the poor. If man.
woman or child remained hungry 1t
was not the fault of those who dis
tribted Christmas greetings in the
substantial form of food. The Saliva
ton Army fed 5000 persons in hall
where prize fights have been frequent
~ held. The Pacific Garden mission
served dinner in the afternoon to be-
tween 500 and 1000 men and women,
most of whom were outcasts.
All of the various other charitable
institutions and hospitals observed the
day. Special dinners were served and
in many instances musical and vaude-
Vile entertainments were given. Eight
thousand men were given dinners in
the fourteen barns of the Union
Traction company during the day.
The same story rs true of New
York, Washington, st. Louis, Cleve-
land, Roanoke (Va), Louisville (KyD,
Kansas City, and other places.

TRUTH ABOUT THE BECKWITHS
Husband of Lincoln's Granddaughter
Would Appreciate Less Notoriety.

Creston, Ia, Dec. 2S.-Warren Beck
With, son-in-law of Robert t. Lincoln,
returned from Chicago Wednesday and
resumed his clerical duties in the Bur-
lington offices, having spent Christmas
day with his wife in Chicago, accord
ing to her desire. Beckwith said that
the recent stories CT his wife's divorce
were wholly false.
Beckwith has rented house in Cres-
ton, and his wife will be here the Lat
ter part of the week to make her home.
Beckwith deplores the frequent publ
cation of rumors about himself and
wife. Intimate friends who know
something about the family relations
declare there is no domestic disturb
ance between Beckwith and his wife,
and that they are very much attached
to each other.
