 Assistance was sought from outside cities and an engine and other equip ment was started from Omaha The burned buildings include three banks, the Western Union Telegraph office and several large mercantile concerns.
 The wires of both telegraph compan- ies were all lost before 10 o'clock, tenn porarily cutting off communication with the outside. Later telephone wires were used over a cfrcuitous route.
 The fire started in Pelletiers depart ment store located in the Loy building, six story stone building at the cor- ner of Fourth and Jackson streets, oc- cupied also by the First National bank. The entire building, together with it's contents, was destroyed, but before the 1 firemen could secure control of the i flames they had spread to the Massa- i chusetts block on the west, another large six story building, and thence to a score of other business places west of the Toy block.
 Among these were the following which were entirely destroyed: The Massachusetts building, occupied by ! seven large stores, including the Gillette hardware, the Pullman hotel, Johnson and Aronson, clothing and furnishings; orkin Brothers, ladies furnishings; George Conway, wholesale tobacco and cigars. and the American Express com pany.

UNION LABEL IS UPHELD
DECISION OF JUDGE ROBINSON
 OF SUPERIOR COURT
Holds That Labor Union Can Adopt or Acquire Trade Label and Is En- titled to the Protection of the Law Finds That Defendants Labels Are C,ounta-1as4.
COunterfeits,

Commercials.
 Bridgeport, Dec. 23.-The defendants demurrers in the matters label case of Martin Lawler ct al. vs. A. H. Merritt & Son are overruled and the claim of unconstitutionality of the statute under waich the plaintiff brought suit was also oyerruled by decision handed down to-day in the superior civil court by Judge silas A. Robinson. In the de- cisios. the court says:
 II am of the opinion and must hold that labor union can adopt or acquire a. trade label or form of trade adver- tisemeitt fer use on goods. in which neither the union nor it's members have any proprietary interest, and that it Is quite sufficient to the protection under our law of such label or advertisement, that it has been adopted by the union and is used upcn goods made by the members of such urion as employees of the person or persons i'll which the pro prietery interest actually resides.
 As to the claim of the defendants. that an examination Of the defendants labels and a comparison of each with the plaintiffs label disc,oses that they are not in counterfeit or imitation of the plaintiffs label, think it is suffi- clent to say that in the rlgintiffs ocIn- Plaint it is distinctly alleged that the defendants labels are in imitation and counterfeit of the plainslffs label. This I think is enough for tie puipose of this demurrer. Whether Gr not they are in fact ill initiation can be settled later and in another way, The defendants fifth claim thatthe statute under which the plaintiffs brings the suit Is uncon- stitutional, Is cyeiruled.

Brides Eye Shade,

Jennys canary was as yellow as gold.
Every fluffy feather was the color of
the sun. and Dicks disposition was as
bright as the sunshine itself Every
morning after his bath Jenny opened
the door of his cage, and out he would
hop, first to her hand and then to her
shoulder He seemed so proud Of him
self there. and Jenny was so pleased
with him. .Iennys little brother Phil
was just getting over the measles,
and you know how the light hurt his
eyes. He thought if it hurt his eyes
like that surely it must hurt the birds
as well, and he believed it would be
an excellent plan to have a shade for
Dicks eyes too When the little boys
sister came from school you may imag
Inc her surprise to see her pet with a
paper shade, all painted green, over
his little round head. There he sat-
like little old gentleman. and he did
not sing another song that day. He
must have thought it was night under
the shade that kept the light out. DO
you not think that Phil should have
known that birds love the light:-EX
