Morning-Heavy Loss in the
Little Village.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Basin, Mont, May "A disastrous fire
here this morning has well-nigh Destroy
ed the business portion of the town.
Lack of fire-fighting facilities made 1t
impossible to check the flames, and 1t
was only when almost everything In the
line of the fire had been burned, that
the fire died out.
The fire started on North Main street,
in a vacant building, whether acciden-
tally or incendiary is not known 1t
swept westward, crossing the street by
the aid of the wind. About dozen
buildings were destroyed, and only the
use of dynamite to blow up the build
ings in the path of the fire saved the
rest of the town.
The loss Is roughly estimated at $780,
900, pretty we'll covered by insurance.

There is a story belonging to the year
1890 or thereabout which illustrates the
absolute lawlessness of the mob. A man
living in Wrapping. just outside the Tow
er of London, which was always garri-
soned by troops, gave offense to his
neighbors by complying with some obnox-
ious law. He received a warning that
they intended to attack him, by which
they meant that they were going to MUIR
der him. The man had the bulldog cour-
age of his time; he sent away his wife
and children; got a friend as brave as
himself to join him. closed his lower
shutters and barricaded his door; then
laid in ammGnition, brought in and load
ed two guns, one for himself and one
for his friend. AT nightfall the attacking
party arrived, armed with guns and
stones. They began with a volley of the
latter, but the besieged paid no attention /,
they then fired at the windows and while
they were loading again the besieged let
fly among them and killed or wounded
two or three. They retired in confusion,
but returned in larger numbers and with
greater fury. All night long the unequal
combat ragged. When their ammunition
was all spent the two men dropped out
of a back window into a timber yard
where they hid in sawpit. Observe that
this battle lasted all through the night,
close to the tower, where the firing of
the guns must have been heard yet no
soldiers were sent out to stop it till the
morning, when the mischief was done
and the house was sacked. Furthermore,
no one was afterward arrested no one
was punished save the men who were
killed or wounded, and no inquiry was
made. Can any story more clearly indi-
cate the abandonment of the people to
their own devices?

NURSING IN ALASKA.
Need of Proper Food and Care for
Miners.


The character of the food used in the
mining camps is such that many strong.
men break down under 1t. Scurvy is a
very common disease. They drink quan-
titles of coffee and that does its work
with thousands.
A nurse, Mrs. L. Lowell who has been
employed in different places in Alaska
for the past three years, writes TO say
that she has induced many patients to
leave off coffee and take Postum Food
Coffee, which is very popular now in
many of the mining camps, for they
have learned its value.
She says Of herself that she has been
a great sufferer from the use of coffee
and had a most shameful bilious com
plexion. She says: IL not only suffered
from the looks but had very serious
stomach trouble. when / finally quit
coffee and began using Postum Food
Coffee my stomach began to recover it's
normal condition, and my complexion
