 on Madison street between Clark and
 LasaAe streets. All the guests es,
 caped. The loss is estimated at S15U,-
 Ooo. Three firenen were injured.
 The fire started in the rear portion
 of the fourth floor, and the smoke roll ing through the halls was the first
 warning of the employees that anything
 was wrong. As the tilamen with their l hose, dashed through the halls the ! guests hastened from their rooms and the halls were soon filled with excited
 men and women in all stages of un-
 dress. They were guided to elevators 1 or down the stairways by eJployes l and gathered in the rotunda.
 Some few women ran into Madison, street in scanty clothing, but believing that the fire would amount to nothing. returned to finish dressing. The rapid increase in the number of engines called to the scene alarmed them once more, however, and they fled to the street again. The guests in some rooms on the second and third floors experienced considerable difficulty in finding the exits, SIS the railways were filled with dense smoke. but all man. aged to reach the street in safety, al though many suffered keenly from the bitter cold.
 The fire Was quickly brought under control, as the tiremep believed. and q number of guests were informed that they could return to their rooms. All of them refused to do this, and sought other quarters. The wisdom of their action was soon manifest. for at 3 o'clock the fire, which was believed to have been practically extinsuished. broke out anew and was soon leapins from the windows of the fifth and sixth stories. The fireman were con siderably hampered In their work hy frozen plugs and at first used only chemicals.
 By 1 o'clock the flames bad reached the hotel roof and buildings in the im- mediate vicinity were threatened. Hosemen were hurried to the roof or the LaSalle theater. and Il great quantity of water was poured upon the burning structure.
 Shortly after the first detachment Of firemen reached the roof of the the ater the smoke stack on the roof of the Brevoort house collapsed and three men were hurt. The hotel was gut. ted before the flames were brought under control.
 When the fire broke out there were m the Brevoort 150 guests. and about 5o women employes. all of whom lived on the top floor. These women were the last to escape. Several guests ven. tlired down the fire escapes Among them were Mr and Ms r. II. Rortz of Rochester. N. '. They inmped ten feet to ina "round and were consider ably bruised.

 burg strike disappeared to-day when
 the employees of the Putiloff iron 1 works returned. In all the works bal. lots are being distributed for the cleo. lion Sunday of representatives on the 1 mixed commission of masters aud workmen.
 Current 'rumors of trouble on the holiday tomorrow, on which occasion It has been reported that the revolu. tlonarles have planned an armed up. rising, seem to be totally without foundation. The Associated Press has been informed at the headauarters of the governor general that there is not the slightest apprehension as to a re- heWai of the disorders. On the con trary it is reported that the greatest confidence prevails that the measures taken will prove satisfactory to tue workmen as the latter will be heard regarding the formulation of new laws an6 the adjustment of existing differ ences. The political side of the arita- non is considered no longer a serious factor at present.
 funlors that General Trepoff will h. appointed minister of the interior are not confirmed in the best informed cir. cles where if is believed the post of governor general will he continued for several months at least.

Cass Lake, Mimi, Dec. H--From a common
lumDerJack and wanderer on the face of the
EARTH penniless, sick, apparently without rela-
i've or friend, and thrown upon the mercy of
| strangers, to the sudden requirement Of for
tune amounting to $4,000 is the story of VII
liam Grow, common workman who has been
at Bemidji for several days.
Last Friday WORKOUT individual, clad in
thin garments and with only a pair of
shoes on his feet, walked into the saloon owned
by F. E. Dudley at Bemidji, and, accosting the
proprietor, told him a story Of hardship that at
once touched the heart Of Dudley. Grow, who is
~ years OF age, had walked to Bemidji from
Park Rapids, a distance Of fifty miles. and had
tasted food but once on the trip One of his
feet was frozen. he was ill and in pitiable
condition - -
Dudley took the man to bed and sent for
DR.. W. r. Morrison. The clothes Of the sick
man were searched and in one of his pockets
was found letter from Des Moines, written by
sister. The letter contained request for
the whereabouts Of Grow, and asked that If
| the letter obtained by the William Grow
wanted he should write at once to the sister. The
letter was written in guarded language, not
disclosing any particular reason for ascertalnng
the whereabouts of the brother.
DR.. Morrison wrote to the sister. The reply
| came in a telegram, requesting that everything
possible be done for the sick man. and stating
that person would go to Bemidji and look
after him. In the meantime Grow had rapidly
| recovered, his condition having been caused by
his long exposure and other hardships.
MONDAY evening T. ID. Grow, a physician OF
Des Moines. arrived at Beplidii and, after see
Ing the man, said he was his brother. He said
| that for several years diligent search had been
| made to find him. and that there was sum
| of $4,000 deposited in a bank at Des Moines
| for him, that being his share of estate left
| by wealthy relative to William and P. D.
| Grow and their sister. William Grow was soon
| strong enough to make the trip to Des Mones,
| and after he had been fitted out with new
suit Of clothes and otherwise transformed, he
| left with his brother for the old home. Before
| leaving the brothers warmly thanked Dudley and
| DR.. Morrison for their Kindness
From the Des Moines physician it was learned
that Grow had left home at early age, and
had been tramping about the country, buneted
| from pillar to post and living the life Of man
without means purpose in life. 1t was by
the merest accident that his name in
