Last night at a quarter after elev-
EN- the fire alarm was sounded, and
the department was called to the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John Nc
Cornell on the West Side. The fam
lily had been moving their household
goods to their farm near Bluffton this
week. They left a heating stove and
a few other things, as they intended
to paper and remodel the house this
week. Mrs. Mcconnell and children
were at a neighbors when the fire
broke out. 1t started from the chin
ney, which was in bad condition. The
house was a story and half frame
with wing on the north side. The
latter part was nearly all destroyed
and the roof of the main part of the
house was burned through and the
interior badly damaged also The
loss is heavy and whether the insur-
ance will cover it we do not know
The sympathy of many friends is ex'
tended to Mr.. and Mrs. Mcconnell in
their loss. The residence was form
erly owned by Jediah Miller.

ship, arrived home Wednesday from
Dale, Iowa, where he attended big
sale of Duroc Jersey hogs held by

breeders of Durocs. Fifty head were
sold, bringing an average Of $127.50
head. Mr.. Bakken bought a gilt
that was bred by King Orion Cherry,
champion boar at the Omaha hog
show last year. McAndrews & Son
were offered 81, 25O for this hog and
refused to sell, so it is evident now
that Mr.. Bakken has got hold Of a
very fine animal in this gilt. Ferd

and each year has been adding the
best blood strains, until now he has
hogs second to none in this district.

How TO Steal u Cat.

When you borrow cat and do not
wish it to return to its former DOM
icile put butter on its paws. The cat
will then go under the stove or the
refrigerator and proceed to lick it's
paws complacently. After that it is
your cat. You may open all the doors
and windows, but grimalikin will not
depart thence. Whether this discov-
cry was made accidentally or after
long and tedious experimentation we
are not prepared to say, but most any
nice old grandmother who knows all
about such things will assure you of
the efficacy of this remedy for dis
contented cats.-Humbolt Indepen-
dent.

THREE MORE CANDIDATES..
Have Filed for Alderman, Two at
Large and One for Second
Ward.

City election talk has been quiet
for the past week, but three new cam
didates have filed. For the mayors
office the two gentlemen who filed
last week, Dr. F. w. Conover and
Atty. E. j. Hook are the only candi-
dates for this Office.
Two candidates for alderman at
large, Messrs. Emil Rosenthal and
John Gillette have filed their papers,
and Mr.. A. T. Ilolton has filed for al
derman in the second ward.
Mr.. Rosenthal has been pressed
hard by many friends to enter the
race. Emil has been merchant
and large property owner here for
years, and has plenty of ability to
make a first-class alderman. He
knows the city as well as any man
here, and we think would give hon
est service in every way. He is not
afraid of work, as was evidenced af-
ter the food last June, when he spent
nearly two weeks around in the resi-
Dental district helping clean out
cellars and assisting in every way he
could to relieve the burdens that
visited many. He has many friends
who will be pleased to support him.
Mr.. Gillette &C the West Side is
another well known citizen. He was
formerly city assessor and in his
travels over the city had every OPP
portunity to observe conditions, and
he too is we'll acquainted with condi-
lions in general and no doubt will
be given liberal support.
The other two candidates for al
dermen at large are Peter Jensen
and DR.. j. d. Hexom, who filed a
couple Of weeks ago.
In the first ward the candidates
are j. j. McAndrews, and Ed Payne
Second ward-B. j. Mckay and A.
T. Holton.
Third ward.--Richard Bucknell "a.
Fourth ward-L B. Willis. -.
Fifth ward-Geo. Hislop and A. S..
Olson.
The candidate for city treasurer is
E. j. Curtin; for city assessor, John
Hargreaves, and for park commits
sioner S. Larsen.
