Numerous readers of this paper re-
member well Miss Bertha Duppler. a
young lady born and reared in Mineral
Point. In a recent Chicago letter to
the Galena Tribune are found statistics
relative to the postofiice of the Windy
City, and Miss Duppler being connected
Herewith comes in for favorable mem
tior Read
''Ten million letters and parcels were
received at the Chicago postotiice last
year incorrectly addressed, These fig
ures show how enormous is the problem
which Uncle Sam works out in handling
the mails in this great city where each
year the increase in business amounts
to a million dollars. Last year the in
crease of receipts over the preceding
year was 81, SOP, 526. During the year
81, 600 in currency was found loose in
the mail sacks and the owners of
1888. Sc cf this We're discovered. At
the time the present federal building
was begun the business Of the Choap o
postoffice amounted to thirty million
tons year, but by the time the build
ing was ready for occupancy the an
nual business was seventy million tons
year. One Of the few postoftice em-
ployes who have Witnessed this growth
is the postmaster's private secretary,
Miss Bertha Duppler, who is the same
energetic young woman who climbed
the flagstaff on the temporary building

THE CHANGING FIRE BELL.
Globe Hotel Narrowly Escaped Ser;
Gus Conflagration.

Last Saturday briefly before the hour
of noon the changing of the city fire bell
caused citizens to rush from every
quarter as is customary on such occa-
sions.
The fire was located at the Globe Ho-
tel. Our firemen with their fighting
equipment and citizens generally were
on hand promptly and the fiend was
soon under control.
The origin of the fire is given thus:
Parties were engaged in putting gas
oline lighting system in the hotel, and
one of them, suspicious of leak in one
of the joints or elbows of the piping in
the vicinity of the southeast corner of
of the office, struck a match to look
for same and gushing of flame soon
followed
The fire had gained a fair start in
side the plastering of the partition
walls and to master it iremen found it
necessary to cut through the walls
down stairs and through the flooring
upstairs to enable them to apply water
effectively. This being done the flames
were soon mastered
The hotel was left in a somewhat
wrecked condition through the work of
fire, water and axe The damage is
upwards of 81, 900; insurance on build
ing, $4,000. Mr.. Stude, the proprietor,
feels thankful that the result was no
worse, and appreciates the efforts of
all who participated in squelching the
destroyer.

SUFFER- HEAVY [ LOSSES.

ence confIagrations Lat
ter Part Of Last Week

The towns of jenkins, Foley and
Grey Eagle experienced some very
heavy losses through fire on Wednes.
day, Friday and Saturday of last week
respectively. In Jenkins, which is a
small town on the NJ. & l., the fire
started in the saloon of Burchitt &
Bennish in the night and burned both
this building which was fully covered
by insurance, and the j. L. Bowan
building occupied by the store of ".
P. Locke, burned to the ground.
The fire at Foley originated in the
John Hoffman building early in the
morning, and owing to Inadequate fire
protection nearly half the. business
section Of that town was destroyed be-
fore the bucket brigade, which was
formed to fight the fire more effective
ly, could get it under control. The
Hoffman building, the Patka ware
house, the Patka saloon, Patke home.
Patke building occupied by the Cobb
creamery station. a machinery hall,
the John, Rea building occupied by
Huber & Strand, m1lliners, the
Arch1ed Parent flour and feed store,
and the August Wrazer saloon were
totally destroyed, and the State Bank
VI TOAoy, tuo AdIt0Idl1 6TOS. store,
the Warner Bros. building, and the
DR.. Leech block were partially
burned, while the windows of the o.
posite side of the street were broken
from the intense heat. The total loss
is estimated at about $25, 900, partially
covered by insurance.
The Grey Eagle fire was also an ear
~ morning tire. It originated IN the
John Roberts meat market and had
spread all over that building when the
alarm was turned In. The wind
spread it to the neighboring buildings
and before the fire could be checked it
had burned the meat market, the G.
A. Southland general store, the P. B.
Scott confectionery store and the tele-
phone exchange. Insurance on the
buildings and stock will cover little
better than half the loss. About the
time OF the fire, burglars entered two
saloons of that place, securing over
$500 in one, ana a few dollars in the
other.
