Another Blaze in Extra.

Sunday morning at o'clock
Charley McClain and wife were
aroused from a deep slumbes by
suffocating smoke and the crack
ling of fire, when they had barely
time to get the children from the
building saving only few gar
ments which were hastily picked
up in their hasty exit. The alarm
had already been given and the
fire boys were promptly on hand
and begun working the engine for
all that was in it but it was at once
seen that the fire had made too
much progress before discovery to
save the building, and now only
the blachened and charred ruins
mark the spot where the neat little
cottage stood, across the street
northw west from the school building.
There was $500, insurance carried
on the building aud $500 on house
hold goods. The family are resid-
ing with her brother at the Park
Hotel until they decide what they
will do. This is a hard blow for
Mr.. McClain especially at this
season of the year and as be was
trying so hard to complete the pay
ment on the property and secure a
home of his own.

hardship.

Miss Belle was reared to woman
hood in Audubon county, and, after
teaching in the district schools of the
county, she went to the graded school
of Audubon, thence to greater respon-
sibilities in Sibley, Iowa and two
years after, to still greater ones at
Carroll, from whence she was elected
to the height of her ambition, the
principalship of her then home school.
The attainments she acquired through
life made her what we think model
American woman, and we feel sure
is we'll fitted to WELD the scepter of
kingdom Or to grace the home of
household of her chosen. She has gone
into family where she can be as we'll
provided for, if not better, than she
has been; where we trust unbounded
love will have it's sway, and where no
tribulations will find repose.

The Anita Tribune last week con
tanned couple of items of interest
not only to the citizens of that town
and Atlantic, but to all other incor-
porated towns with but little rev.
enue. The Tribune says: Mrs. G. B.
johnson is to receive $625 from that
town in full of all damages sustain
ed by reason of fall on defective
sidewalk; and that in Atlantic an.
other case has been settled out of
court for $500. Extra has had lit
tie experience along this line, get
ting Off with little less than 5000:
but as we have an ordinance that
provides for brick or cement walks
hereafter, we presume that when
spring opens there will be some
thing doing. But in the meantime
those holes in some of our walks
may cost the town lots of trouble
before that time
The Improvement of stock of
whatever kind is the amt ition of
every up-to-date stock breeder and
farmer now days, which is very
laudable and is being emulated ev-
erywhere, where horses, cattle, hogs
and sheep are kept as means of
increasing the revenue of the own
er, and he is always anxious to get
something that will add to the
worth of his herd or flock which.
ever it may be. If it is cattle you
wish to improve the strain of, you
can do no better if Herefords are to
your liking than to- purchase one
or both of those handsome regis
tered thoroughbred Hereford year
ling bulls offered for sale by the
owner. VIM. Doffing, Of this town.
The mothers of these animals are
both of high strains, one being the
dam of an animal that sold tor one
thousand dollars. Mr.. Doffinp,
while still young in the business
of raising graded animals, has
very respectable herd of cattle, and
his aim is to purchase only the very
best for breeding purposes in order
to keep the herd up to the standard
aimed at by all breeders of fancy
animals. His animals are lust
what he represents them to be, and
perhaps just what you are hustling
for. See his local this week.

fad was popular with the patrons of
the company, but the girls were both
too bright and intelligent to remain
as messenger girls long. John Rose,
now manager of the Postal, taught
them biography, and they both de-
veloped into first rate telegraph oper-
