Of Erecting a City Hall-Grief In

ing Over the Result Of Election.
Madison, Neb., June Especial to
The News: In the biggest fire Madi'
son has experienced for years, the
large livery stable OF Walter ELY
burned to the ground last night. The
loss Is about $4,000; insurance, 1900.
The fire started at about 10 o'clock
in the big livery on Pearl street and
for time 1t looked as though 1t might
not be confined to that building.
Famed by a high southeast wind, the
flames ragged furiously and sparks
were carried half way across the town.
Owing to the inflammable nature Of
the building and its contents, 1t was
soon plain that the stable was doomed,
although the volunteer tiremen worked
heroically to save It,
All the horses and buggies in the
building were taken out In time to
save them, but the harness of the es-
tablishment were all consumed.
The house of Otto Underberg, which
is very close to the stable, was in i'm
minent danger of destruction, but the
firemen succeeded in saving it, al.
though it was considerably damaged
by fire and water
The origin of the fire Is unknown.
Last nights fire demonstrated that
Madison has one of the best volunteer
departments in the state. The boys
worked furiously and 1t Is a matter
for congratulation this morning that
the flames were confined to the build
ing in which they started.

MANY NEW CEMENT WALKS.
Construction Going On In All Parts
of Town.

The building Of cement walks Is
nicely started again and If Street Com
missioner Richey's estimates are any
where near correct there will be twice
as many feet of this class of walk laid
this year as there were last, and that
was the most extensive season for ce-
mcnt walk construction that Norfolk
has ever seen. "By the time cold
weather comes," said the commissions
err "the only board walks left in town
will be those in extra good condition
and they will not be numerous" The
city administration has been patricu-
larly lenieni in the matter of ordering
permanent walks built, allowing board
walks to remain in service as long as
they did not become absolutely dan
gerous, but the time has come when
practically all these old board affairs
have become worn out and will have
to be replaced with either brick or ce-
ment.
The ordinance provides that walks
may be constructed of either brick or
cement, but experience has proven
that cement Is the only practical ma
terial to use. When correctly con-
structed cement walks will last a life
time, while walks made Of brick soon
begin to settle unevenly and get out
Of shape. number of the brick walks
that were laid no longer ago than
three or four years are now in such
bad condition that they must be re-
built. Many owners are voluntarily
doing this but in a number of cases 1t
will be necessary for the council to
condemn the brick walks and order
them replaced with new ones.

GRETCHEN sPREcAER THE VICTIM
The Little Three.Years.old Child OF
Mr.. and Mrs. G. T. Spreoher Secures
Bottle Of the Deadly Acid and Spills
IL over Hands, Face and Feet.

Little Gretchen the 3.years-old
daughter of G. r. Sprecher, was quite
badly burned last evening with car
bolic acid. 1t seems that yesterday
was housekeeping day at the Sprecher
home, and in some way the bottle OF
carbolic acid. which had been used
for disinfeCting purposes during the
winter, must have been knocked on
the shelf where 1t was kept. About
Z o'clock last evening the little girl
got hold of the bottle, and before It
was known that she had 1t. she had
spilled quite a considerable of the
contents over her hand, face and foot.
Her eyelid is quite badly burned and
she has deep burn on the cheek. Re-
storatives were Immediately applied
and this morning the little one was
suffering no pain, but 1t is feared that
she will be left with scar on the
cheek.

MANY HoMEsEEkERs ENRoUTE.
Tuesday Noon Trains Crowded With
People Bound for the West.

All the trains that passed through
Norfolk Tuesday noon were loaded to
their fullest capacity this being Home
seekers day on the railroads, which
gave rates that attracted crowds. It
is estimated that fully hundred ex-
ira passengers we're on the Bonesteel
train, people attracted by the lands
of Gregory and Lyman counties, S. d.
Some were going to Bonesteel and
then drive to Pierre, west Of which
place a new country is being opened
mp by the building of the Northwest
ern to Rapid City. There was also
a good crowd bound for the western
part of the state, particularly Cherry
and Chase counties. This is a season
of the year when the crops have all
been planted, and between seed time
and harvest there is an opportunity
for farmers to investigate the pros
poets of new country. Cheap rates
on the railroads will undoubtedly do
much toward the settlement of the
country west of here.

BOND ELECTION CARRIES.

Hall.

Madison, Neb., June Especial to
The News At the Special election
held in Madison yesterday the city
voted bonds in the amount of $4,000
for the purpose of erecting city
hall, and there is great rejoicing over
the result. The vote stood 253 votes
for and SO against the proposition
At the previous election, the bonds
failed to carry by a single vote, but
public opinion rapidly changed there
after with the above result.
The site has not yet been definitely
selected but in all probability the
structure will be erected on the north.
west corner of Third street and Lin
coin avenue, on lot now owned by
Thomas O'Shea The city also has
an option on what is known as the
Hutchison property on Third street,
which is half block nearer the heart
of the city.
The fire department were especially
pleased over the result, so much so
that about dusk last evening they rang
the fire bell and made a demonstra-
tion on the streets. The fact is that
the old quarters have long been in a
dilapidated condition and an unfit
place in which to properly store and
take care Of the apparatus. Plans and
specifications for the new building are
drawn and operations will commence
as soon as the site is purchased.
