COEUR D'ALENE, Oct. 23.-Coeur
d'Alene yesterday saw the largest fire
in the history of the city destroy $125,-
900 worth of property in the new Ida
no Mercantile company building about
2 o'clock Sunday morning and toiled
three hours to save the post office just
across the alley and adjoining build
ings from destruction. For hours the
flames threatened to wipe out that
portion of the block containing the
Elite hotel, the store and the post
office, the latter building catching
fire eight times, but these buildings
were saved.
Firemen had every line of hose in
the city in service shortly after the
fire broke out, but were unable to
check the progress of the flames. The
fire loss was confined to the second
floor of the building, the main floor
and basement goods being damanged
by smoke and water.
General Manager w. E. Sanders said
this afternoon that the firm will begin
rebuilding at once, will add the third
story to the structure, and have 1t COM
pleted by the first of the new year.
Flames broke out in an office on the
second floor vacated ten days ago by

Save Land Office Records.
Deputy William Ashley and Clerk
Will T. Somerville, entered the Uni
ted States land office on the second
floor Of the building and saved the
tract and serial records, with several
vouchers in the safe. Many legal land
tangles are thus averted, although the
valuable papers lost in the flames will
place the land office records in
muddle for months.

An Old Veteran and Pioneer.

John Il. Street, one of the pioneer
residents of this section of the Black
Hills, mention of whose passing was
made in these columns, was inferred at
the State Soldiers Home at Hot Springs
on Sunday, it being among his last re
quests that he should be laid to rest in
the Old Veterans Cemetery.
John F. Street served during the Civil
War in Compony E, Twentieth Illinois
Volunteer Infantry, and at the time of
his death he was aged rs years and 8
months. He leaves wife, three sons
and one daughter. One son, John T.,
is in the employ of the Homestake COM
pany in Lead. One son N. S. Street,
lives in Chicago. The other son A. 6.
Street lives in British Columbia. His
daughter Mrs, Annie Verla, lives in
Fairburn, S. d. Uncle John will be re-
membered by all old timers, having
come to the Black Hills in June, 1876,
bringing a saw mill which was set up at
Gayville, afterwards moving to Custer
county, where he held several places of
trust, among the rest, county treasurer.
Uncle John has been in the home only
a short time, about eight months and
his death will be regretted here in the
Hills by a large circle of friends.-Pio-
neer Times.

DEAD LETTERS ENORMOUS
kuch Money Lost--Stricter Business
Methods Should be Applied.

During the twelve months covered by
the last report of the fourth assistant
postmaster general there were 10, 1885,
7l6 letters and packages opened up by
the dead letter Office for the purpose of
ascertaining the names and addresses of
the senders. Of these 1889, 740 were de-
livered, leaving over 100000 letters
and packages, whose destination could
not be ascertained, in the hands of the
postoffice officials. The undelivered
postal cards and picture post cards have
constantly increased in recent years un-
til during the same period more than
IL ,000, 600 of them were received by the
dead letter Office to be destroyed. A to.
tai of 73, l01 letters, enclosing money in
aggregate amount of $64,SO3, were un-
claimed, and the revenue derived from
dead mail matter, including postage
stamps removed from letters and found
loose in the mails, which could not be
returned to owners, aggregate $50, ,099.
All this information is contained in
the report of the fourth assistant post
master general, who makes several rec
concentrations with reference to dead
letters which must appeal to sensible
people. In the first place attention is
invited to the fact that the work of the
dead letter Office is a special service
which could, in most cases, be avoided
by reasonable precaution on the part of
the sender, and a nominal charge is urg-
ed for the return of such letters to COM
pensate the department for the addi-
tional service rendered to patrons, who
disregard the advantage of having their
unclaimed letters returned free, by in
scribing return request on the envel-
opes.
With reference to postal cards, which
are not returnable. the cost of transpor-
tation to the central Office and the work
incident thereto is, in the opinion ofthe
bureau, unnecessary and should be dis
continued when postmasters everywhere
could just as easily make final disposi-
ton of unbelievable cards in their
respective Offices under suitable regula-
tions.
The application of stricter business
methods to the operation OF the post-of-
fee requires more cooperation on the
part of the public, for whose benefit the
postoffice is provided. The return of a
single letter or the correction of defec-
tive address appears to be small mat
ter, but when multiplied into the mil
lions not only entails a needless ex-
pense, but clogs the channels of legiti.
mate mail. The work of the dead letter
Office is therefore live subieGt.-Omaha

that whenever bill is introduced by re-
