ward was responded to by quite
large number of people and then fol-
lowed a most earnest season of pray
er.
Almost the same scenes were re-
peated in the evening when the evan
gelist delivered another powerful
sermon.
There is no question but what Dr.
Essert is arousing great interest and
there is but little doubt that the
meeting will prove one of the most
successful revivals ever held in the
city although it will be in progress
but two weeks.
Dr. Essert is a man of great ability
and power and he is truly a success
full evangelist. His sermons are in
tense in their interest, exceedingly
impressive and his illustrations are
most effective. He also selects many
timely themes.
The meetings will continue all this
week, in the afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock
and in the evening at 7:30 O'Clock. A
| splendid series of discourses have
| been arranged for both the afternoon
and evening services.
Tonight DR.. Essert will speak upon
| Christian Science. Tomorrow
night he will speak upon, "The Turn
ing Point in the Life of Jean Val
1 Jean and he has extended a special
invitation to all of the lodge men
| of the city to hear this address which
| Will be of peculiar interest to them as
well as of great interest to the people
| in general. THE Failure of the
| Keeley Cure" will be his theme on
Wednesday night. From practical
circumstances he will draw powerful
sermons.
Tonight and Wednesday night, on
account of the lecture course num-
bers the services will close earlier
| than usual and the lecture course
| usual.
Doubtless large congregations will
hear DIR. Essert this week.

fire itself, naturally and unayoidaDly
great damage was done by the water
that had to be turned into the build
ing in order to combat the fire. The
major portion of the large stock of
harness. oils, implements, hardware
goods, stock foods, hundreds of bug
gy robes and horseblankets, was
thoroughly soaked with water, and
in many cases the ruin as a result of
the soaking is complete. Then

Guiding several extremely costly and
very fancy rigs, We're soaked and
more or less damaged. Many other
departments of the stock were more
or less damaged by the water and
smoke, the latter discoloring much
easily damaged goods that escaped
from the fire or water. Then there
were scores of bags of grain stored
in the west room, and this grain was
soaked and naturally is in bad con-
dition.
The large National cash register
owned by the firm was in the little
office and in the very center of the
hottest portion OF the fire, and as
result the register is practically ru-
ined. 1t cost about 500.
The building is considerably dam

the double store was broken. The
ceilings of the two main rooms suf-
fered the most. The plastering in
the east room was badly damaged by
the water, and in the west room big
patches of the plastering were
knocked off. 1t was necessary to cut
a hole through the roof in order TO
effectively fight the fire. The parti-
tion wall between the east and west
rooms is badly damaged.
No effort will be made to repair the
damaged building or to go over the
stock until the insurance adjusters
arrive They are expected tonight
or tomorrow. The company was full
ly protected by insurance.
1t will be n difficult task to arrive
at an accurate estimate of the dam
age, owing to the fact that the stock
was so large and varied and the dam
age either by fire, water or smoke,
has to n more or less extent touched
every department of the stock.
The building, which occupies two
full lots, is one story in height, 80
by 1875 in outside dimensions and Is
practically new, having been built
only about year ago. The company
owned the building.

The fire was discovered about
10: 40 O'Clock yesterday morning and
created great excitement. A big
crowd was soon attracted.
1t seems that VIII Kennedy was
passing the building owned and occu-
pied by the company on the south side
of Main street, between Sixth and
Seventh, when he noticed that smoke
was oozing out of the cracks in the
building. and, pressing his face
against one of the windows, he re-
allied that the building was on fire.
The alarm was turned in Chief Rog
ers and his men were soon at the
scene.
When the department arrived it
discovered that the two front rooms
of the building and the big ware
room that makes up the rear half of
the building We're filled with smoke.
In the west room the flames were eat
ing their way through the contents
of the Office, and many sets of har-
ness and other portions of the stock
that were located near the east wall
or partition wall of this west room.
There was no question but what
the fire had been burning for some
time: but. owing to the fact that all
doors were closed, both outside and
inside doors, there was no draft of
any noticeable force, and as a result
the fire was mainly n smoulderng
fire. Had it had the help of "A stiff
draft for a few moments it is very
probable that the entire stock and
building would have been destroyed
before assistance could have arrived.
The department found the fire a
hard one to fight, but the laddies
soon had two big streams of water,
backed by a high pressure. playing on
the building, and in short time the
fire was under control and the flames
were extinguished; but it was, in
deed, sorry sight that the once or
derly and attractive stock of the big
store presented
There is every reason to believe
that the fire was started from the
heating stove in the small office. Yes
