Fire last Thursday ruined rail-
road system. The engine house of the
Oneida short line caught fire from an
unknown cause and the two engines
of the system, the two tenders and the
two combination cars were destroyed
or rendered useless. This is the total
equipment of the road. which was
built to connect the city with the
Great Western line at Oneida. The
loss is $5, 600 and there is no insur-
ance. The pity of the fire is that for
the first time since the road was built
five years ago it has just begun to be
operated on a paying basis. Another
engine has been procured to do the
work.

The Congregational people are plan
ming on new church building to cost
$50, 900. The present edifice, besides
being very much in need of repairs, is
also too small to accommodate the
large and increasing congregation.
The Ellis Bros have offered to contri-
butte So, 600 of this amount, and Capt.
Raymond and VIM. Hausberg, who
have always been among the most
liberal contributors to the church, are
understood to encourage the enterprise,
and as there are other influential
of financial standing in the
church, the probabilities are that the
enterprise will be pushed forward.
The church society was organized in
1858 and the church building was
erected six years later. Charles City

Hoping to immune from cholera
the progeny of his drove of twelve
blooded brood sows. a farmer resid-
ing south of the city is claimed to
have fed the carcass of a hog which
died of cholera to the herd with the
result that seven are now dead and
one other seriously affected with the
disease. The gentleman is claimed to
have given much attention to a
theorist in diseases of swine who
claimed that the feeding of the car
cass of an animal dead of the disease
would render the others immune.
The experiment was secuted by
several persons before it was tried
and advice given not to attempt it.
The result is heavy loss in dollars
and cents, as the sows were very
valuable. Waterloo Reporter
A match game of base ball was
pitched at the college campus yester-
day between the Charles City and
Lenox College mines. The latter team
had just returned from DEBORAH where
fortune had frowned upon them, and
as a consequence they were not in the
best of humor. After the game had
proceeded few innings, one of the
Lenox boys become enraged at the
umpire and emphasized his displea-
sure by calling that dignitary liar.
This act so disorganized the umpire
that in demonstrating his truthful
ness his arm carelessly measured
space in the direction of the offend.

of the great American game bit the
dust. Some confusion followed, and
the game was declared off. Charles
