FARGO IN ASHES.
A Disastrous Conflagration Sweeps
Whole Blocks Away.
Half of the town of Fargo, Minn.,
was swept away by a disastrous fire
Wednesday. Tho fire started at 3
o’clock in a restaurant on Second
street. A strong wind was blowing.
At 4 o’clock the fire lmd reached
the Great Northern track, ten blocks
north, gutting tho entire district for
three blocks east to Broadway. A
flames strong fight was made to prevent tho
from crossing to the west side of
Broadway, but by 4 o’clock they had
crossed in several places. Telegraph
wires are all burned, so that it was im
possible to reach Grand Forks or Hills
boro to ask for help. Probably two
thousand people are homeless. Nearly
all of the principal commercial houses
of the town were swept away.
A strong wind made the fire travel
so qiiicitly that hardly anything was
saved. The flames went through brick
buildings as easily as wooden ones,
The loss will be over $1,000,000, as
practically the entire business district
in the city was gutted.

Surgeon General Wyman, of the
marine hospital service, received a
dispatch Thursday from Mr. Now
berry, the United ‘States charge d’af
fairos at Constantinople, dated from
Peru, relative to the cholera outbreak
in Asiatic Turkey, which stated:
“Latest news shows a rapid spread
westward into Mesopotamia trade
routes. This will soon bring in tho
Mediterranean ports.”

pointed Worthington Ford, of

true. A telegram from Chicago re¬
ceived Wednesday afternoon states
that tho financial situation is more
cheerful.
The postmaster general formally an¬
nounced Wednesday that disease germs
or other things of like character, no
matter how securely put up, are of the
nature of poisons and extremely dan¬
gerous to health and that they are
therefore absolutely unmailable. Post¬
masters are instructed to - see that no
such things are allowed entry into
tho mails. This action has been taken
in consequence of propositions made
by medical journals to make analysis
of such matter if sent to them tightly
sealed through tho mails.
Henry Clay Smith, the negro who
was appointed consul to Tamative,
Madagascar, is a native Georgian. Ho
was born and brought up in Carters

Saturday’s dispatches from Wash
ington are to tho effect that the finan
cial situation shows signs of clearing
' ] 1>- There appears to be a renewal
of what is absolutely essential to threat- easy
financies and confidence. Tho
oned panic of the last week has pruned
away. It was a mere flurry. At
Chicago, when tho danger point ap
poared to bo, there have been no new
bank failures. The national banks of
that city seem to bo in good condition,
In fact, the reports received at tho
comptroller’s office indicate that the
national banks uro in a satisfactory
condition.

department show that during the first
three months of the present adrninis
tration, ended June 3d, the total num
l R . r () f fourth-class postmasters up¬

BOON TO CONSUMPTIVES.
A Wonderful IMsdnery by a Cincinnati
ITi{Hlclan.
The New York Recorder in its issue
of Monday dctafla tlio cure of several
consumptive path its at Ward’s island
under the directio i of tho city authori¬
ties. As only elnrity patients in tho
last stago of const nption are admitted
there, tho Ucr.omr.r claims that the
cure, for which if awarded Dr. W. It.
Ainick, of Cincinnati, $1,000, lias ac¬
complished some! iug almost rniraeu
lous. It says uls< that the Cincinnati
doctor has flgreodio keep tho hospital
supplied with me ieines sufficient fur
all consumptive dises at his own ex
pense. As only jho third-stage cases
are taken there) no more severe
test could bo jinvited. While it
is now generaly discovijry admitted that
the Amick is a certain spe¬
cific tion, in Dr. tho Amick earlieijstages jius of heretofore consump¬
never
claimed that it would euro more than
20 per cent of test tjiird-stage made consump¬ by tho
tives. In this just
city three out iff four wero either
cured or astonishingly benefited. It
is easy enough fof any sufferers froi/i
tho disease to test tho new discovery
through their fiimily physician, tor
Amick sends medicines for tho pur¬
pose free of cost and invites an impar¬
tial test of it by tie medical
everywhere.

those who were permitted to share the

made for unearthing the treasure.
According to a New York telegram
of Wednesday tho direct liabilities of
E. Wyman, as scheduled, is $591,000;
contingent liabilities $315,000. Tho
signee estimates tho real estate in his
possession as sufficient to pay tho
direct indebtedness unsecured by col¬
lateral, together with interests in vari¬
ous companies, can be applied to tho
liquidation of such contingent liabili¬
ties as may be found to exist, if tbe re¬
alizations upon the assets which these
represent are sufficient.

SHAKY ELEVATORS.
Two Large Companies In a Bad Way
Finn ncially.
A Minneapolis special says: A re¬
mor gained currency Wednesday that
two of tho best known elevator com¬
panies in the northwest -the Northern
Pacific and the Red Biver Valley—were
temporarily embarrassed, and subse¬
quent events proved that, although
the crush is not absolute, the predica¬
ment in which the two aboved named
corporations find themselves is a se¬
rious one. The situation is attributed
to the prevailing uncertainty and the
luck of confidence which is felt by the
banks. The facts in the case, as yet,
will not warrant the assertion that it is
a business failure, although the state¬
ment comes direct from the general
manager of the Northern Pacific elo
vator that the corporation will ask for
the appointment of a receiver.

to a duel, but if O’Ferrall fights he
will disqualify himself for governor.
The congressman is in Washington,

friends before taking any action.

With quick strong steps to join the crowd

In brave apparel, tints of flower and bird.

Odd Dinner Plates.

curved dark wood und wide panes ol

The owner of the
opened the door of the china treasury,
and took out one of the much admired
plates. It was deep brown in color,
with a network of gold and green
bars,
“Those plates,” said the lady, “are
relics of Pittsburg's great fire in 1845.
I have two of them yon see, and would
not purt with them for any money.
They were given to me by Mrs. Col¬
lins, who was the mother of Mrs. Judge
McCandless. After the fire they, 1 be¬
lieve, bought a crate of them as relies
of the conflagration. They gave away
a number of them. I was so fortunate
as to l>e presented with two. When
Daniel Webster was in Pittsburg, I re¬
member at the dinner Mrs. Collins
gave for him, he greatly admired the
plates, ami promised his hostess that
he should have one to take home with
him. but
Originally the plates were white,
they were packed in straw. The heat
and the straw together combined to
give them the coloring and the mark¬
ing which you so much admire. There
are, I believe, half a dozen families in
the city who have plates from that
crute. but I do not know who the others

ing has been burned in; there is no
dnnger of it coming oft. And the
precious plate was carefully placed be¬
side its companion in the cabinet.
