NEWSPAPER PLANT BURNED
Norfolk Press Suffers Entire Loss and
Much other Property is
Destroyed.

NORFOLK, Neb., March 22-tSpecial
Telegram.) 1.-The most disastrous fire Nor
folk has had in recent years occurred this
morning about o'clock. Early-rising
duck hunters discovered flames issuing
from the rear part of the basement Of the
Norfolk Press office. By the time the de-
partment could get out in force and get
water the building was doomed. Hard work
saved the adjoining buildings. The build
ing was a two-story brick and iron veneered
building owned by G. A. Luikart and P. F.
Sprecher, occupied by c. f. Doughty on
one side with gas fitting supplies and on
the other by p. f. Precher with the Press
newspaper plant. A part OF the basement
was occupied by the Nebraska Telephone
company as a storeroom,
The building and it's contents were a total
loss. DR.. Maeombers Office building ad-
joining was badly damaged. as were the
buildings of L. NJ Gaylord and DR.. Hagey.
The total loss is about as follows
Sprecher & Luikart. building, s. 900; in
surance, $1,700.
Sprecher stock, $4,000; insurance, 50 900,
Nebraska Telephone company, 81 200; in
surance not known.
DR.. Hagey, 1000 to building and furni-
ture; fully insured
DR.. Macomber, S40O; no insurance
c. f. Doughty. $500; no insurance.
L. NJ. Gaylord, $780, no insurance.
The buildings OF l. NJ May and Isaac
Powers across the street were on fire sew
eral times, but were saved with little dam
age. Occurring at the time it did. the ori-
gin of the fire is a mystery, as there had
been no fire in the basement at all Satur-
day and none on the other floors after
o'clock in the evening.
SHELTON Neb., March 22-(Special
Telegram. THE most disastrous FIRE which
has ever visited Shelton started in the
room occupied by the postofice, the shelton
Clipper and J. f. Waple' iewelry store at
$50 this afternoon, and by great efforts
was confined to this one room There is
no fire protection in the town and only
the bucket brigade was available Every
thing in the building was consumed in
cluding postal records, presses and type
and the jewelry stock. Nothing is known
as to how the fire started. For a time Il
was thought the whole half OF the town
would burn and hundreds of dollars worth
of goods were ruined by removal to the
muddy streets. The burned building was
owned by George Meisner and will be re-
built at once. The stock OF goods was
partly insured.

It is we'll enough to give public libraries

of New York.
OF the disputes between capital and labor
Rr. Jerome said:
You are not 10 per cent you men of or
ganized labor, of the men of the United
States II you think the other 80 per cent
