 The one. story building ownsd by orsOn Rogers, corner West Broad and Mechanic streets, which has been OCT cupied for 40 years by Frederick c. Sueck, shoemaker, was damaged by fire Monday night, caused by a de- fective stovepipe. Mir. Sueck was at work in his shop when he detected smoke in the rear room and he tmme- diately tackled the fire therein with buckets of water. Fire alarm was sent in from Box 46, and the P. S. Barber Hose company responded promptly. A well directed stream of water soon ex- tingIished the fire, but not before the interior of the building was consider ably charred- Mir. Sueck had no in- surance on his stock and personal ef- fects, but the building is insured.
 An official Nebraska ballot is in the show window of Nash'S store. It is eight feet in length and six inches wIde. The candidates for the sex esal offices are grouped, the governors. lieu tenant governors, etc, of the several parties, for the convenience of electors who desire to vote split ticket. At the top of the ballot are the party circles in group for those who vote the straight ticket Just how that ticket, eight. feet in length, was prin- ted is puzzling to local printers, as it was evidently printed with one inn pression.. It could hot be duplicated practically every scene being toned. Don't miss this powerful Broadway.
