Church Building Damaged.
Fire damaged the Methodist
Church of this city yesterday to
the extent of S40O or $500. A
lady passing along the street
noticed the blaze on the roof
and Immediately went into the
church and notified the pastor,
who hurriedly dismissed the
Sunday school, which was in
session at that time. 1t was
about IL o'clock when the de-
partment reached the building
and by 11:3O they had gone
back to their quarters. The
fire must have caught from the
chimney, a spark evidently
falling on the roof. Quite a
large hole was burned through
the roof and ceiling and the
carpets in the church below
damaged somewhat. 1t was
certainly lucky the fire was dis
covered so quickly and also
that we have a fire department
that gets in action without any
delay.
AS soon as the fire was out,
members Of the church, and
Others set to work to get the
carpets and furniture out in the
air where it could be dried and
cleaned. Many of the song
books were badly damaged and
the walls inside the church no
doubt will have to be all gone
over, the water streaking them
as it came through the opening
in the roof. Evening services
were held in the church as
usual, and the h''ilding will be
repaired as soc 4. possible
The following companies.
represented by their localagent
#. L. Davis, had insurance on
the property: Northern Insur-
ance Company. $1,000; Insur-
ance Company of North Ameri-
ca, $4,000; and the Niagra In
surance Company, $4,000.

Editor Times: Thinking that
perhaps a few lines, descriptive
of this place, by a resident ( f
your town, now of this place.
might be of interest to some &C
your numerous readers. givirs
a few words about this instit;
tion, its management. In u e
first place let me say that l sll
indeed very glad l came here,
and more than that, l am thank
full that the great State of Iowa
in its wisdom, provided by law,
and prepared a place for the
cure of a disease which is, and
always has been the cause of
the affliction of mankind, some
of the best men of the world,
have felt its blighting curse,
but now a chance has been pro-
vided here for such men, who
can be saved. This institution
is we'll equipped for that kind
Of work, and there are now at
this place 140 fellows who were
slaves to their appetite as / was,
and who are getting all the at
tention possible to be given.
They are supplied with comfor-
table buildings and all other re-
quirements that is necessary for
the cure of the men who suffer
from the disease of the drink
habit.
The buildings are located on
a splendid farm, near a fine
town where there is not a sa-
loon in it and the institution is
now in charge Of DR.. H. S. Nj
ner, Supt., who is aided by an
assistant, DR.. Rowatt, both be-
ing men of the highest-and best
ability, men in every way COM
petent and equal to all of the
duties that this position may de-
mand of them, and they PER-
form all the duties of their po-
sition in a manner that is not
only a credit to them but an
honor to the State.
Everything here is being done
for the benefit of the unfortu-
nate placed under the care of
this institution, and all atten-
ton that is desirable, is bestow-
ed upon all. l only wish that
any or all of the men in the
State that are offlicted with the
same disease | was, could also
come here, as they would GER
tainly be benefited thereby.
am yours &c.

MANY BUILDINGS
BEING STARTED

While this is the dull season of the
year, and the fruit crop in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Grand junction
is rather light, there is an immense
amount of building going on at this
time. Not that it would be called a
boom, but there is a very steady and
rapid growth to the residence and
business portions of the city.
The magnificent Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing, one of the very finest in the
state and one that is costing one
third as much as the Denver Y. M.
C. A. building, is soon to take on
finished appearance and will then
put all the other buildings of the city
in the shade.
A number of costly residences,
bungaloes and modern cottages are
now under construction, and it seems
that there is a demand for even
more, for today there are not doz-
en- vacant houses in the whole city,
and they are for the most part of
the less desirable class.
Architects are unusually busy at
this season drawing plans for new
buildings to be constructed this fall.
