TOWN TOPICS.
SMALL FIRE AT E. S. LOVELL'S
DISCOVERED IN THE NICK OF TIME,
SAVING THE HOUSE FROM DESTRUC-

DISCOVERED IN THE NICK OF TIME,
SAVING THE HOUSE FROM DEsTRUC-
TON.
Fire broke out in the residence of
Edward S. Lowell, on Thursday last,
but fortunately no serious damage re-
suited. A fire had been started in an
upper chamber, and some clothes were
placed near the stove to dry. When
Mr. Lovell's daughter, Miss Flora, went
down stairs everything was all right.
About 5 o'clock, Louie was sent by
Mrs Lowell up stairs for a book. He
came back, saying he could not go
through the hall as twas SO smoky.
Investigation was quickly made by
Mrs Lowell, Flora and the servant girl,
but the smoke was SO dense and hot
that it was impossible for them to go
further than the head of the stairs, SO
the men were called from the barn
instantly, but were for a time unable
to locate the fire. They could not make
out which room it was in on account
of the smoke being SO thick and sitting
and the fire not showing any blaze.
After several fruitless attempts Ar
thur Ray hit on plan of action which
probably saved the house. Mr. Ray
craWled on his hands and knees under

it out. 1t is supposed coal snapped
out, setting fire to the carpet, bedding,
and the clothing on chair nearby.
1t was fortunate coincidence that +.
l.. johnson happened to be passing at
the time the alarm was first given,a land
kindly lent his aid, which was much
appreciated. Mr. johnson was present
and helped when they were in like
trouble before), not a little, by his
kindly words of sympathy. George
Aston also rendered valuable assist
ance. The loss is estimated at about
$50. The fire made a lot of hard work
and trouble for Mrs Lowell, but it is
fortunate it was no worse. Mr. Lowell
has been particularly unfortunate by
fire. Seven years ago he nearly lost
his house by incendiary fire. Last
November he lost the largest barn in
this locality, by lightning, together
with the years crop of grain, etc. Mr.
Lowell was in Mt Vernon on business
the day of the loss. They trust this
third fire may prove their last expert

OMAHA AND ITS RAILROADS.

All business Is necessarily SelnSn III
it's aim. Investment and labor are
entitled to fair compensation, and SO,
in the consideration of these ques
tions of business, we do not consider
them from philanthropic stand
point, but from that of business rela-
tions.
The man who wants, or asks, or gets
something for nothing, is dangerous
and dishonest man. There is no
business within my knowledge land
that knowledge extends over a pretty
wide range and all extended career),
which is so dependent upon the thrift
and prosperity of the people, and of
the community, as that of operating
a railroad, no business that is more
entitled to kindly consideration and
cooperation of the public.
The railroads are the great immi-
grafton agency which settles and
builds up a new country. They are
absolutely permanent investments.
They cannot, if adverse conditions oc-
cur, sell out and close up or move
away, as man in mercantile life or
other business can. They must stay,
and, if necessary, create the condi
tions of thrift upon which they de-
pend.
l have wished great many times
that every business man, or at least
every one in ten Of the business men
along the lines of the various railroads
was shareholder in the railroad
which he patronized. This would
make him careful adviser, a careful
observer, and it would prove disastrous
to the demagogue
1t takes wise man today to be presi-
dent or manager of railroad. He must
be alert. to every substantial interest
in the communities where his road ex-
lists. No physician is more careful to
keep his fingers upon the pulse of his
fevered patient than is wise railway
manager or officer to keep his ear to
the ground and his eye on every in
terest which must contribute to the
su ccess of his road, or the reverse.
The railroad is the best organized
system for doing business of perhaps
any that exists. Its divergent lines
extend for hundreds or thousands of
miles. Its agents are remote as we'll
as near by. Hence, it must be managed
under carefully devised system of
general rules, subject to rig
i'd and exacting accountability, and
new line entering new
country establishes markets here
and there at convenient points
it introduces into that community a
great organized and disciplined force
of men who, by habit, are accustomed

other grains in proportion. The ap-
parently houndless plains farther west,
then covered with millions of buffalo
and thousands Of savage Indians. are
now pasturing hundreds of thousands
of cattle and sheep
The Rocky Mountain range, then
but little explored, is now yielding
annually in the neighborhood, prob
ably of $35, 600, 900 of gold, besides
silver, coal, timber and other pro-
ducts. They have grown cities and
settled large population.
The Black Hills, then unknown, or
purely a myth, is now one of the rich
est mining districts in the world, and
the home of about 100, 900 population,
extensively engaged in mining and
commerce.
The Pacific ocean was then impos-
sible, or nearly so, except via Cape
Horn, and the oriental shipping trade
undreamed Of.
Then and Now.
Omaha, then village, is now
city of rather uncertain population, but
nevertheless large and prosperous
city, recognized everywhere as the
gateway between the populous east
and thegreat west and while all COM
merce did tend eastward, it is now,
under modern conditions, pushing
westward to the orient, as we'll as east
to the Atlantic cost and European
markets.
What has wrought this change?
Consider in your mind map, with
Omaha in the center, and note radi-
ating from this city.
Five great railways, eastward, from
this gateway city to Chicago.
Three railways to the south, con-
Meeting with like systems to St. Louis,
Texas, the gulf and the ocean.
Three railways to the north, to St.
Paul, Minneapolis and the Great
Lakes.
Two railways to the northwest to
the Black Hills, their mining camps
and commercial centers.
Four railways, with direct con-
nections from this city to the Golden
Gate shores of California and the
Pacific coast-every point Of the COM
pass pierced, every center reached.
And this city is the gateway through
which all this distribution of people
and commerce passes.
There are fifty three passenger
trains arriving here every day, bring
ing to this city an average daily
number of passengers of 4,5OO people.
There are 4, 400 railway employees
of these several railroad companies
