NOlga.-The elevator and coal sheds
In this city owned by the Atlas Eleva-
tor company were entirely destroyed
by fire. A barn belonging to Wood
ard Bros. was also destroyed, and the
residence wan only saved by the hard
est kind of work. For a time it was
feared that the coal sheds and eleva-
tor of the Dyball & Cotton Elevator
company would be destroyed, but
they were saved by the fire depart
ment and citizens. The Atlas elevator
has been closed since last spring, and
there was no grain in it, but the coal
sheds contained several carloads of
coal and wood. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the fire was caused by a spark
from a locomotive.

Sioux Falls.-The departure from
Sioux Falls of Mrs. Jennie NAPLES for
the purpose of visiting her son, VIM.
NAPLES, a business man of Grafton,
n. d., is of more than passing inter
est. Mrs. NAPLES came to Sioux Falls
with her husband, Commodore NAPLES,
now dead, on the first passenger train
that ever ran into the city. This was
on August |, 1878, and William T. Doo-
little, a former mayor of Sioux Falls,
and now a veteran engineer on the
Omaha railroad between Sioux Falls
and Worthington, Mimi, was the man
in the cab in that memorable trip over
the Omaha road, which was the first
to construct a line to Sioux Falls. In
all the thirty-three years Mrs. NAPLES
had not been out of the state, although
during that period she lived only a
few miles from the Iowa and Minneso-
ia line, and but once before had she
been on a railroad train since 1873
seven years ago, when she ooh a trip
to Salem and Mitchell. Mrs. NAPLES,
who is o making her third railroad
journey, is IS years of age. For some
years she served as school treasurer
Of the Sioux Falls district.
