The recent storm, which com.

been quite general over the southern
portion of the state, at least.
In this city there was quite heavy
precipitation, the ground being white
with wet and melting snow most of the
time. II was sufficient TO make
travel difficult and unleasant, and
was the forerunner Of chilblanes
and other discomfortures.

very close to the new one, as a work
shop, and had only left 1t a short
time for dinner, when the flames
we're noticed pouring out of the doors

spark from the fireplace ignited the
shavings and a quantity OF dry ma.
terial, such as fancy singles, rustic
facing. ETC., all imported from Ore
gon, which we're stored In the build

The fire took hold at once and
burned rapidly. Fortunately the
wind was in the right direction OF
nothing could have saved the new
house. As 1t was, one side OF it wal
scorcbed.
We believe the damage sustained
by Mr.. Jones will amount to $3.50

THE VESTS FINANCIAL POWER.
Within Two Decades Wonderful
Change Has Taken Place.

1t is only twenty years ago that the
common rate of interest charged by
banks in the interior of Kansas and
Nebraska was 8 per cent month, or
3G per cent n year, and . per cent a
month, or 60 per cent a year. was by
no means unheard of. The new land
was hungry for capital on any terms.
1t looked to the East as the only
source of supply; but while the East
was responding haltingly. the West
was finding its own capital at home.
There are bankers not yet gray who
used to spend their time seeking East
