Bad Fire Monday Night.
The house owned by Hart Norman
on the corner of Kimball avenYe and
Cleveland boulevard was DESTROYED
by fire Monday night.
Louie Vandenberg and family who
have been living in the house, were
in Nampa, Monday afternoon and
evening. The cause of the fire is
unknown, and will probably remain
SO as there was nobody sleeping in
the house that night.
A curious incident of the fire was
that though water pipes melted with
in a few feet of the refrigerator
and the refrigerator itself was badly
burned, yet the next mo. ning a small
piece of ice still remained unmelted
inside.
The house was insured for $500
and the furniture for $1,000.

passed his day of usefulness. A
man should move nine inches in 20
years. If he does that he maintains the
average. He is a cheerful wight
who expects more. But the average
should be maintained by a United
States senator.
Senator Hepburn flies off the han
die on very slight provocation. Men
ton Robert e. Lee and he will draw
a spasm. JEFF Davis name calls
forth a At. The Senator is a Quak-
err at that, and a very religious man,
Hepburn has commenced to think
he is martyr. If he cannot be a
martyr in one cause he will be one
in another. In years gone by he
was cruelty abused. He really en-
joyed the abuse but dit not know it.
He has been right and thinks he is
always right; and further thinks
that to be right you must be wrong
The Civil War is dead and gone
The people, both north and south,
should realize that fact The COM
mon people do realize it. Every
once in a while bitter memories are
awakened by such men as Hepburn
and John Sharp Williams. One is as
bad as the other and both are dema-
gogues. The southern boasting of
the Lost Cause is appealing to sym
patty; the northerner exulting,
parading his patriotism is exulting
in the victory. Both are twenty
years too late.
