O'Brien Loses Home and Entire
Contents at Early Hour Sunday.

Falls City, Aug. 27.-(SpeciaD-
This section appears to be having
more than its quota of fires, this sea-
son. First, the large house of A. w.
Plankington, together with all its
contents, went up in smoke. A few
days later the barn of A. B. Brown,
with the winter feed for his stock,
was entirely consumed. Still a little
later mill No. l. of the Falls City
Lumber company, was burned to the
ground; and at about two o'clock
last Sunday morning the residence of
c. S. O'Brien, in South Falls City,
was together with all the household
goods, clothing, piano-in fact every
thing about the premises. Mr.. and
Mrs. O'Brien were sleeping in a tent
about 20 feet from the house, and
at about the hour mentioned were
awakened by their neighbors to find
their home a solid sheet of flame,
with no chance of saving anything
The fire department responded
promptly and did heroic work, but
could only succeed in saving the char
red walls of the house. The loss was
about $4,000, with insurance of $1275

Prices still rule from Is to 10 cents

either the part of the buyer or seller.
The latter clings to the belief that
better prices will be offered, and at
any rate they will not rule lower than
at present while the buyer is working
on the theory that the schedules now
offered will not be raised this season.
