LOSS AT RRlsTow TODAY.
FIRE OF lNcENDlARY ORIGIN
p. A. SHURTZ AND CARL PllGER
BURNED OUT COMPLETELY.
FIRE OF lNcENpIARY ORIGIN
AMERICAN EXCHANGE BANK TOO

At 2 O'Clock This Morning Fire De-
stroyed Two Buildings at Bristow.
Money Is saved-Women Help Fight
Flames, Dousing One MeddIer.
Bristow, Neb July Especial to
The News: The general store of p.
A. Shurtz and Carl Pilger, both Nor
folk men, together with the American
Exchange bank of this place, were to-
tally destroyed by fire at an early
hour today. 1t is believed the fire was
of incendiary origin and there is much
feeling abroad as a result. Further
trouble is anticipated by some. The
fire started in the Shurtz store.
The fire was discovered at o'clock
this morning and alarms were at once
turned in, the citizens responding
quickly. But the flames had made
such headway that to get the fire un-
der control was impossible. The
American Exchange bank adjoining
the Shurtz store On the south, caught
the flames and the two buildings were
soon in ruins.
Moneys and Records Secure.
Most of the fixtures and records of
the bank were carried out and saved,
but the loss ON the buildings and mer-
chandise stock is complete. The val
liable records and moneys were locked
in the fire proof safe of the bank, and
are secure. Loss ON the buildings and
stock is estimated at $4,000 partially
covered by insurance.
Ladies Help Fight Flames.
Much credit is given the ladies of
the city, who accomplished as much
toward getting the flames under con-
troll as did the men.
One individual. after the fire was
under control, cast several sighting
remarks about their work but two of
the more active ladies, after serving
him with three or four pals of cool
spring water, soon had him hushed.
Feeling still runs high over the
cause of the fire.

NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY.
Features of Latest Issued by Southern
 New England.

Features of Latest Issued by Southern
 New England. The new telephone directory of the Southern New England Telephone com- pany is being distributed in the various towns of the state, to go into effect to- day.
 The directory issued this. quarter is the largest in the history of the com pany, containing some 42,0OO names, be- ing an increase of 5000 names over the previous issue.
 No new exchanges are recorded in the book.
 The company expects to open it's new exchanges in New London and South Norwalk within the next two weeks These places have been equipped with all the very latest telephone improve ments.
 In the lists of several of the larger places it will be noticed that the letter M" or ''J" follows the telephone num- ber. No explanation is given in the table of instructions as to just what these letters mean, and there will uouptleSS be HldIly inquiries py SuD- scribers. These letters are used solely for the selected" wires on which there are only two subscribers, one being des- ignated by M and the other by "J.'' Instead of by the figures '2" and B, as on other wires. When central responds the subscriber asks, for instance, for 1899 M" and the operator is thus in- formed as to what key to ring, just as though figure had been given on other than selected wire.
 Many subscribers have been puzzled recently by the use of the word ring by the operator at the central office in responding. This is, under new rule of the office, designed to prevent errors due to not hearing correctly. When a subscriber for instance, calls for "555-2," the operator will repeat back the number, "555, ring g." The subscriber Is not expected to use the word ring" the rule applying only to operators.

 One of the most interesting lectures of the season is announced for this evening in College Street hall MT.

MT Emerson offered his services to the Japanese col ony at Yale, and they have accepted his kind offer, and wish to invite to this lecture particularly the members of the faculty and friends of the university. Children will not be admitted unless accompanied by their parents. There win be no admission fee.

THE DECORATION OF UNCLE JOE. His hands bulge out with calluses, He sports Palmetto galluses,
 Homemade jeans and homemade socks
 surround his legs and feet,
 A broad brim hat of wool stands pat
 On that head so braw and sweet"
 The decoration of Uncle Joe Cannon Is now symmetrical and almost com plete. Tar heel and Palmetto have vied with each other In the amiable task. He has wool hat with a shadowy brinl as wide as the Potomac Jeans enshroud the legs on which he stands so monumentally. South Caro- lima socks enclose those feet whereon he learne dto think long ago, He wears one "gallus' up and the other down, after the lmmemorial manner of the boys with the wool hats. It is un- true, Of course, that he keeps his South Carolina galluses in a glass case. He is not the kind of man to display relics of his wardrobe as if they were yet in the class with Washington's shoe buckles or Lafayette's sword. He wears his black wool hat when he doesn't put on his sticky" or his dry hide"
 He needs pair of boots, good old fashioned American statesman boots,
