Saturday morning at the usual hour

church members began to arrive when
to their surprise and dismay in open
ing the door smoke rolled out which
told them it was on fire, caught from
the furnace below. An alarm was
spread but it was too late to save any
thing but few library books, two OF
three doors, walk and outbuildings.
In short time large crowd gathered
at the scene and worked hard to
protect other dwellings, especially the
residence and barn of Robert McMil-
len. The wind carried the shingles a
mile to J Burreson's and several fires
started in its pathway but were
quelled. 1t would have proven very
disastrous but for the previous rain.

Thanksgiving in Eureka was so
bright and sunshiny that it was hard to
believe it is the last of November.
The storm conditions that had pre-

Family reunions and holiday feasts
were many, and the school vacation
from Wednesday to Monday brought
forth unbounded thanks from all the
little folks.
The social event was the ball and
banquet arranged by the young men OF
Eureka. in the absence of any public
function. The dance was given in the
Masonic and Odd Fellows Hall, and
was largely attended. The music for
the occasion was furnished by Prof.
Rice's orchestra. At midnight an
elaborate banquet was served at the
Brown Hotel restaurant, under the
management of Mrs. B. Amidon.
