Two Fires,

On Monday night, or early on Tues
day morning, the residence of Nick
Buckle, just beyond the city limits
took fire from defective flue and was
entirely destroyed. Mr.. Buckle was
not at home at the time, but with the
assistance of neighbors the household
property and clothing was saved.
The building was two story frame,
comparatively new and very comfort
able, and reasonably worth 5000. 1t
was insured with P. Lamb $500.
There was no insurance upon con-
tents.
THE SECOND ONE.
Soon after one o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon Arthur E. Lyman came
home from his drive over his rural
mail route, and being right chilly he
built up a good fire in the kitchen
stoye in his home on Elm-st. His wife
was at the dental Office at the time,
but the children were at home. A
passer-by notified Mr.. Lyman that
smoke was issuing from the little, low
room over the kitchen, and investiga-
tion developed the fact that the attic
was full of fire. The chimney goes
through the roof and is surmounted
with stove pipe, but the fire clearly
came from the chimney. The fire de-
partment responded promptly. but
not until the roof of the kitchen was
badly burned and fire had followed
up under the roof of the main part of
the house. Well directed streams
soon put out the fire. The adjoining
house owned by L. L. Fisher, is very
close to the Lyman house and flames
got under the ewes and followed up
under the roof. 1t took some lively
work to save that building. 1t is &C.
cupied by Mrs. Gilbertson. who saved
everything in somewhat damaged
condition by fire and smoke. Mr.. Ly-
man was insured for $500 on building
and s40O on personal property, which
will cover his loss. A quantity of
clothing and furniture on the second
floor was burned.

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
Benson's Plaster Is Pains Master.)

From the natural impulse to ssput some.
thing ON painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been pou.
tees or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
Is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter season of suffer-
ing and danger. It relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists Of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honoreds with
ffty.fue highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on the receipt of Csc. each.

The last forest of Paris is about to
disappear. 1t is situated at 40 Rue
st. Gervais and is composed of oaks
and elm trees entangled in a network
of impenetrable creepers. 1t is partly
on a slope and partly in a ravine,
through which a small stream flows.
The Vieux Paris commission has de-
clined to reclaim this curious an
tiquity.
If all the petroleum produced last
year in the United States was put in
standard barrels and the barrels placed
in a row touching each other, the line
would completely belt the earth.
Enough coal was produced to give
three and half tons to every one OF
the 100000 persons in the United
States and enough gold to give every
American gold dollar.
1t is proposed to erect in connection
with the old st. PauPs Episcopal
church, Edinburgh, Scotland, chapel
as memorial to DR.. Seabury, the first
Episcopal bishop of Connecticut, who
attended services there when he was a
student in Edinburgh. Bishops Pot
ter of New York and Brewster of Con
necticut have issued an appeal tc
American Episcopalians for subscrip
lions.

High Grade Entertainment.

st. Andrews guild, composed OF
the young gentlemen of the city has
secured the Schumann Grand
Concert company than which there is
nothing finer to be had. All their
music is of a high grade, both classic
and popular. The San Francisco
Examiner says of it:
1t is making a broad statement, but
it none the less fact that no concert
company of equal numbers heard in
San Francisco in years has made the
emphatic hit among the music-loving
people of this city that has the Schu-
mann Grand Concert Company, under
the able management of Mr.. j. Saund-
ers Gordon.
For three nights now the members
of this most excellent organization
have been charming unusually large
Frisco audiences, and each and every
one has received a yeritable ovation
at the hands of the delighted hearers,
as no such delicio US music has been
offered here this season. The COM
pany remains three nights longer,
and the great popularity already
attained by the organization assures
crowded houses for the remainder OF
the engagement.
A solid week of a concert company,
in even this music-loving city, IS
something almost unheard OF, and the
unqualified success of the Schumanns
in their work here must be indeed
gratifying to these talented musicians
as we'll as to Mr.. Gordon, their ener-
eetic and clever manager. We all
b ope for return date soon.

BRYAN's LEADERSHIP.

! In discussing results of the re
cent election the Sioux Falls Ar
gas says:
Nowhere did the leadership
of Mr. Bryan or his ideas show
a gain. Everywhere there was
loss and dismal defeat. In the
rtmainder OF the country, ont
side of the south therepublican:
held their own in an off year a
demonstration that with a full
vote they would again sweep
everything. Even the mountain
states wheeled into line, while
the old pivotal state of Indiana
gave the heaviest majority ofthe
past generation. Republicanism
and republican leadership are
more strongly entrenched in the
hearts of the American people
than they have been since the
old days of reconstruction. And
where the democracy is strong it
has discarded Bryanism.
The populist party has entire
ly disappeared from the field of
politics, dissolved by the sun of
prosperity which shines so tri-
umphantly over the country.
And with the passing ofpopu-
hsm has passed Organism, its
foster sister, with all for which
Col. Bryan has stood and with
all which aroused such tremen-
dous enthusiasm only six years
ago and which seemed likely in
the summer Of 1896 to sweep
the country"

Offices of the United States have

chronic greed for land which APP

sent thousands ofambitious peo-

reduced to cultivation, but they

the county. There were 16 votes
for the prohibition candidate for
governor, and 10 votes for the

more votes than Martin. This
vote upon governor, however,

counted. There were some err
