DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
IN ATLANTA, Ca.

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. "a fire early to-
day destroyed nearly Il block OF build
ings IN the heart Of the city. The loss
is estimated at 100000. The fire broke
out in the furniture store Of the Shook
a Austin company on White Hall
street. A strong northwest wind sent
showers Of sparks In every direction
The fire soon spread 10 the Norcfosse
building at Marietta and Peach Tree
streets, and thence TO the large drug
houses OF the Jacobs company on Mar
ietta street. the liquor store OF the L.
NJ. Rose company and the Williams hO-
tel. There was no loss of life SO far us
known, although Capt. Joyner eX-
pressed some apprehension for the safe
~ Of all the guests q, the Williams ho-
tel. There was considerable excitement
among the guests of the Klmball house,
half block away, as the sparks and
flames were blowing In that direction.
but the iron windows were closed and
the guests suffered little Inconvenience
beyond the smoke IN the building. The
windows Of the 10 story Peters building,
completed less than six months ago,
were cracked by the heat and other
damage was done the structure
The Norcrosse building was filed with
the offices Of professional men and the
entire sixth floor was used as res
taurant. II Is rumored that several
people who were sleeping In the Nor
crosse building have not been seen
since the FIRE broke out, but this lacks
confirmation.
II was definitely learned later that
there had been no loss Of life. The
Shook & Austin company sustained the
largest individual loss, their stock OF
furniture having been extensive.
Among the other losses are:
Jacobs Pharmacy company, Guaran-
tee Clothing company; Vladuct Lunch
rooms: Hammack Drug company;
Alonzo Nernuton, BARRIERS: Hub Haber-
company. Daniels Brothers &
Hughes and McClelland. haberdashers.
The building occupied by ths Shook
& Austin company was originally the
National hotel and during the early
reconstruction days was famous as the
headquarters OF southern politicians.

Now that liberal Omaha jurist has

''Those who are disposed to work for

And the disgusted editor of the Blue
Springs Sentinel clothes the sad thought

"Some people have nothing else in
life to do but sit around in the way and
find fault with whatever someone else
is trying to do"
Other editors from week to week tell
the sad old story in the same sad old

idea would be could they, backed by
judicial authority, rise to remark:

THE WATER CURE. quirer reiterates
the statement that
there is nothing new under the sun, and
fishes forth this story of an eye witness
to the torture of suspect, which took
place in Paris in 1851:
"In this agonie, confessing nothing,
the executioner with horne (just such
as they drench horses WITH stuck the
end of it into his mouth, and poured
the quantity of two bouketts of water
down his throat and over him, which so
prodigiously swelled him, as would
have pitied and affrighted any one to
see it; for all this, he denied all that
was charged to him. They then let
him downe, and carried him before
warme fire to bring him to himself, be-
ing now to all appearance dead with
paine"
It will be noted that the water cure
was only resorted to after other means
had failed 1t will be also noted that
this account varies from modern AS
sociated Press descriptions of this tor
ture, only in the quaint spelling and
wording of the article.

Of course the campaign will be con-

dispose of the present deformed method
of transmitting wealth, just as it in due
course of time disposed of the pillory
and the ducking stool, and it is to be
hoped that congress will ''come out of

until it offers some explanation of it's

thorough knowledge of the merits of
mining property, they are now in a posi-
tion to quickly know as much, or more,
about it than the man who located it
or the promoter who seeks to interest
capital in its development.
So the conclusion is easily reached
that mining is garbed in all the respect
ability OF legitimacy, that it offers better
profits than almost any other CONNER
cial enterprise, that the field for the
promotion and expansion Of the industry
is almost inexhaustable, and that its
other industries, makes it the ideal in
dustry in which to invest the surplus
capital of the country. We believe that
this conclusion has been generally
reached by the business men of the east,
and have warrant for such belief in the
indisputable facts set forth in this ar
ticle. Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Utah,
Oregon, Washington, Michigan, South
Dakota and Arizona will during the
present year experience an activity
many other western states are making
great progress in the development of the
mining industries. Old established
companies are enlarging their operations
and many new companies are entering
these fields. New camps are being estab
lished, capital is flowing into these states
in continuous stream from the east and
the output of mineral will be something
stupendous-at this time beyond the
realm of reasonable prediction.
The facts in regard to mining herein
enumerated have never before been 80
easily verified. and already the west is
feeling the benefit of liberal investment
in mining properties. This benefit will
extend to the east with the development
and operation of the mines in which this
capital is invested.-Western Mining

Eastern people who have lost
money by investing it in Colorado
mines, can trace large per cent
Of their losses to the fact that the
management of the property was
placed in the hands of incompetent
persons. There is a disposition on
the part of great many people, to
consider tourists caps and leggings
rs the gilt edge diplomas of min
ing experts. There is no doubt
but that course in the school of
mines is beneficial, or for that mat
ter, a necessity, if one would be sue
cessful as a mine foreman. But
no man ever learned to mine by
reading a book; it requires years
of hard work and practical exper-
ience in different camps and coun-
tries. 1t would be advisable for
new mining companies to dispense
with the small benefits obtained by
securing an elaborate report on the
geological peculiarities of their
possessions that new tledged ex-
pert usually prepares, and employ
someone who understands the art
of breaking rock and saving ore.

The struggle for supremacy that
is going on all over the world
at the present time, seems to
extend from the highest organized
gC,ernments, down to the individ-
ual members Of society. To be a
world power, is the ambition of ma
tions; to hold the balance of power
is the ambition of political parties
in their respective countries; to be
the president of corporation, or
the political boss of voting pre-
cinct, is the ambition of GER
tain class of individuals. There
is no better illustration of the
tendencies of a nation than by
comparison with those of an indi-
vidual, and vice-versa. Let a
country like Great Britain or the
United States obtain the prestige
in the affairs of the world that
these nations now enjoy, and they
Immediately become imperious and
sometimes construe might to be
right. Let some individuals ac-
quire power in local affairs and the
result is the development in them
of disposition that is intolerant
of any opposition and unrelenting-
ly lassertive of authority.

which it has been weighted down
for years. The party had reached
that extremity where the bosses

course was taken. Under the new
