RESIDENCE BURNS.
George MaxfieId's House Goes Up in
Flames.
From Fridays daily.

ClOm fIludy DoAy'
The residence of George Maxfeld, part
way up the Franklin street hill, burned
to the ground last evening, together with
all of the contents that were on the
second floor. The house was story and
half frame dwelling.
1t is not known just how the fire
started, but it is thought to have start
ed from the chimney. Mrs. Maxfield
had been out all day and returning made
supper and the family had just sat down
to the table when neighbor ran in and
told them that the roof was on fire.
The flames made rapid Roadway, but the
contents of the first floor were saved.
An alarm was turned in from box Is
at about six o'clock, but the house was
located up the steep hill. The chemicals
were carried up, but did not avail
against the fire.
Mrs. Maxfeld carried $500 insurance on
the property with H. F. Leonard, but this
will not nearly cover her loss. AS the
family are not in very good circums-
stances, the loss falls heavily upon them.

OMAHA PEOPLE ARRIVE.
Well Known Business Men Enjoy
Fishing at Madison Lake.
From Friday's Daily.

FROM rTluay Ddlly.
j. A. Odell and son, S. W. Odell, of
Omaha, have arrived at Madison Lake,
to spend several weeks enjoying the fish
ing. Last year they fshed at Lake
Francis. Mr.. Odell expects his wife
shortly and will pitch tent on the lake
shore.
j. A. Odell is the patentee of an adj
Unstable NEEDLESS fish hook that is large
ly used and has strong merit. 1t will
fit a frog or minnow of any size, holds
it right side up in the water, and holds it
so firmly that it will not fly off in cast
ing. These hooks are used for catching
any kind of fish, and one good point
about them is that the fish seldom miss
being hooked when they strike. Mr..
Odell's hooks are sold in this city. He
has seventeen patents on fish hooks.
The two Messrs. Dybold of Omaha ar
rived at Madison Lake yesterday to en-
Joy the fishing until tomorrow. They
are large candy and ice cream manufac-
turers.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. HI. Ray went to their
cottage at Point Pleasant yesterday,
and Mrs. Ray remained over today, get
ting the cottage ready for occupancy.
The family expect to occupy it as soon
as school is out.
Frances G. Haskell, formerly clerk in
the county auditors office, has return
ed from the west. He has been a sufferer
from inflammatory rheumatism, but is
now free from it, although fifteen pounds
short of his usual weight. He does not
substantiate the report that his uncle,
"A. B. Ewing, found copper on some land
that he owns and sold out for $4,000.
The crops around Madison Lake are
looking fine. Corn is coming up nicely,
and all small grain is well advanced.
Fishing is reported good, and some
large pickerel have been taken from the
lake.
R. E. Brown has disposed of his cot
tage on Point Pleasant of E. M. Zuel.

Passenger train No. II on the North
Western, which arrives at Mankato from

minutes late yesterday and with a hole
through the roof of the mail compart-
mnet of the baggage car. The roof of

cinder from the smoke stack of the en-

the roof had smouldered away for some
time, before the danger was discovered.
No further damage resulted from the
fire than the necessity of cutting good
sized hole in the roof.
