little ROCK HAS
$25O,OOO FIRE
.orToN COMPRESS PLANT DE-
sTROYED BY FLAMES.
LOSE 1850 BALES OF COTTON
r;.a Wall Saves a Part of the Com
press-lnsurance Covers the
Loss.

title Rock.-Fire destroyed a large
nart of the plant of the ST. Louis
cotton Compress company, located in
tho east end of this city, early Tues
dow morning. Heroic work on the
mart of the city firemen and the en-
moves of the compress, together with
favorable turn of the wind saved a
GOOD part of the plant and over Is 900
bales of cotton. About $500 bales of
cotton burned and the loss is esti-
mated at $250,000. The entire loss
&c said to be covered by ample insur-
ance A fortunate turn Of the wind,
together with the help of a fire wall
in the center of the warehouse, en-
ahled the progress of the fire to be
checked. as otherwise the entire plant
would have burned.
At several points the fire during
the worst stages reached up its flames
over hundred feet in the air.
The value of the cotton stored in
the warehouse and compress is esti-
mated at more than $S50,000, which,
together with the value of the plant,
brings the entire property endangered
bv the fire to a round $1,000,000
From the Rock Island freight plat
form where most of the spectators
viewed the fire, it appeared that there
were acres of flames, through the blur
of which could be seen the walls of
the brick warehouse to the southwest
Probably some of the cotton will be
burning for weeks to come.

To Put Down RepubIicanisnn

Paris.-Many Royalist and Clerical
newspapers profess to believe that
the Identification at Rome Monday OF
Joan of Arc maaks the beginning of
a movement which will overthrow
the republic. The Gaulois says: AT
the moment when the destinies OF
France are threatened, the church of
Rome, which has been prosecuted,
illuminated and despoiled by the :ad-
ical Republicans, erects affairs to the
sanity girl who once saved France
and our bishops pray for her inter-
cession to cause another miracle
which shall deliver and restore the
fatherland."

her engagement with Charles Henry
Tootwiler. They'd be goin' together

just lately, that he had learnt his les

'peared to conclude that he had taken
her advice little too literally, and

WATER COMMISSION
 PROP0SEO FOR CITY

DOUGLAS, Aug. 26.-(Special.e,-
 It has been proposed and has been discussed to some extent in the city during the last few days that it would be good plan for the city council. in connection with the proposed mu- mic, pal ownership of the water system. to pass an ordinance creating city water commission which shall be non partisan in character. If this could be done and the entire management of our water system be placed in the hands of some of our most competent citizens, regardless of the,r politics. it is quite certain that better results could be obtained in this way, This proposition looks god to the Interna- tional. Politics should be forgotten in the important matter of securing the very best men to manage our niunici- pal water system, if We are to have one, which now seems likely.
