Des Moines, Ia., Jan. 30.-Property
losses estimated at over half million
dollars were sustained in fire in the
business district of this city. The
losses are estimated as follows:
Frankel Bros, department store,
$375,OO0; Yonker Bros, $45,0O0; A. &
l. Fredlich, stock, $4,000; Utica
Clothing company's building, $1,000;

Co., $1,000; Des Moines City Railway
company, $4,000; losses to occupants
of Office rooms, 100000. 1t is stated
that the losses are fully covered by
insurance.
A patrolman discovered the fire
shortly after o'clock in the basement
of Frankel Bros department store.
A general alarm was turned In, but
before the fire department could make
any impression on the flames, which
had, by this time, spread with re-
markable rapidity through the build
ing, it was seen that much valuable
property adjoining was beginning to
burn. The firemen Immediately gave
up trying to save the Frankel build
ing and devoted their energies to sur
rounding property, consisting Of the
Des Moines National bank. the Utica
Clothing company and the Seeley de-
partment store. All of these buildings
caught fire repeatedly, but finally at
6 o'clock, when only one wall of the
6-story Frankel building remained up.
right. the danger Of complete destruc-
ton to the business center was con-
sidered over. Outside of the Frankel
store, the damage was largely caused
by water. Destruction of the electric
light. telephone, telegraph and trolley
wires caused much confusion during
the morning. The street car service
was almost entirely abandoned and
many factories depending upon ~elec-
tricity for power were compelled to
remain closed during the day.
A detailed account of the insurance
and estimated losses of the fire given
out later places the total loss Of prop
erty at $6S2,0O0, with 100000 insur-
ance. Frankels estimate their loss
at $3.50, 900, covered by 100000 insur-
ance.

The rough riders contest to take
place at the Festiva, OF the Noun
tain and Plain at Denver, on Octo-
ber Ist, I'D and sd, is creating an
interest throughout the entire west.

front with her riders and bucking

states.
The belt 10 be given for this
contest is one Of the handsomest
that could be procured and will
cost over 5000. 1t is being made
by Tiffany, OF New York City. Of
solid silver with proper ornamen-
tations. The rider who wins it
three successive years will have
the right to keep it as trophy. A
photograph OF the belt has been
sent on by Tiffany, and shows it
to be most magnificent emblem.
Those riders who wish to par
ticipate will need to secure a Ger.
tihcate OF their ability to ride from
the stock association of the county
in which they work. Bucking
horses are also in great demand
and premium OF $3.50 is offered
for the best bucker. The horse
will be expected to stay on his
feet and buck straight and not fall
over and thereby injure the rider.

Anthrax ouserssk.

Cattlemen in Otero county are
greatly alarmed over the recent
outbreak Of anthrax among the
herds in this section, and the
Otero County Cattlemen's Asso-
citation, at a recent meeting, de-
cided to take heroic measures in
sta nping out the disease. State
Veterinary Surgeon McCapes and
DR.. Castor, United States govern
ment inspector, were La unta
visitors this week, and impressed
the importance upon local stock
men OF taking Immediate action in
the matter.
So far as known Otero is the
only county in the state where
anthrax exists, and If it can be
stamped out here the herds OF the
balance OF the state will be safe.
A thorough investigation is being
made OF the different herds and
wherever case is found the ami
NAL is killed and carcass bnrned.
There have been from half dozen
to dozen cases each year for the
past two or three years, but this is
the first season it has reached the
nature OF an epidemic.
There is no doubt as to the
identity OF the disease, as the mat
ter has been investigated by state
officials and is pronou uaced an
thrax. Anthrax is rare in high al
titudes, being usually prevalent in
low, marshy ground, where the
germ will live for period of FIVE
years. The disease is a blood
disease and the bacillus goes into
the soil. There is bur one way to
stamp it out aud that is to dispose
OF the carcasses of dead animals
by fire or quick lime. Local cat.
tie growers should realize the dan
ger and take every possible step to
eradicate the disease.

Public senee, Enrolment.

The enrolment in the public
schools OF La Junta for the year
1901 is 500, an increase over last
year of eighty-two, and an increase
during the past five years OF 2s7,
or 80 I-3 per cent. The high
school is crowded to overflowing,
the accommodations available be-
ing just about adequate for the
senior class alone. What is to be
done with the freshman class is a
problem the powers that he have
not been able to solve as yet. The
enrolment in the high school for
the year 1901 is 1874, an increase
over last year Of eighteen, and
nearly double the number OF five
years ago.
The enrolment in our public
schools for each year during the
past FIVE years is as follows: Fer
the wear 1901, 500; 1900, Sos; 1899,
69o; 1898. 6Sa; 1897, Cog. High
school, 1901, 1874; 1900, iI6; 1899,
IoI; 1898, 100; 1897, -.
1t appears that not only our
Jail accommodations but our school
facilities need enlarging. The old
timers who have hibernated around
these parts for 10 these many
years, seem unable to compre-
hend the great development that
has taken place all over the Arkan-
sas Valley during the. past FIVE
years, and seem unwilling to keep
pace with the times. They are
like Bryan, who still insists that
the prosperity now pervading all
over this great country of ours is
not real, but a delusion and snare
manufactured by Mark Hanna for
the express purpose Of fooling the
dear people.

ing the loss OF city warrant for

board last spring, and stating that
diligent search had failed to bring
It to light. Her request that a

the old city water tank, and fur
ther agreeing to give bond in 'he
sum OF $500 to take down the
tank without damage to the sur

position was accepted.
The mayor appointed Aide rmen
McNeen, Carlisle and Bentley as

the city clerk and city attorney and
make out list OF all property
chargeable with sidewalk tax.
The mayor also appointed a

Aldermen Daimler, Bentley and
Draper. who are to confer with
the officers OF the Home Place
Company and settle the dispute
concerning the terms of purchase
of the reservoir site and a right Of.
way for the pipe line leading
thereto. The Home Place people
contend that the purchase price oi
$3.50 was contingent upon residents
Of Home Place being allowed to
use city water at the same rate %
consumers within the corporate
limits. City officials deny that any
such agreement was made. The
city built s., 900 reservoir on the
property before securing q deed,
and when the council finally found

refused to abide by it. II is hoped
