One at Roseburg and Anotbcr at Cleve land, 10 Miles East. Two more incendiary fires one in Roseburg1 and aopfcher at Cleveland, 10 miles east of heresuch is the crimi nal record for Douglas county last night. One lire, that at Cleveland, destroyed a house and barn belonging to Chas. Thorn, of this city. The place was rented by Wm. Stelner, who was cruising in the timber when the fire occured. As Mr. Steiner had not been in the house for a week or more, it shows, of course, that a fire bug has been at work. Mr. Thorn has no clew to the identity of the incendiary. He valued the house and barn at $1000, which is covered by 8500 insurance. The contents of the house, belonging to Mr. Sterner, were uninsured. The wooden buildingadjoiningSykes1 and Thorn's brick building on Jackson street, Roseburg, and owned by J. B. Walte, the S: P. engineer, of Albany, was the scene of the second fire. The building was temporarily occupied by C. F. Greve, a shoe dealer, who carries no insurance on his stock. Fortunately the fire was discovered in Its inclplency and little or no damage resulted. The fire started at the rear of the building about 4 o'clock this morning. It was discovered by Geo., H. Fitz glbbon, a travelling salesman, who happened to be passing by at the time while on his way to the S. P. depot. Immediately running to the scene, be grabbed up a bucket of water near by and commenced fighting the flames. He soon had assistance in the parson of Mr. Greve, who slept in the building and bad been awakened by the noise of the fire. In the meantime someone else who saw the blaze Bounded the alarm and brought the tire department to the scene. Before the firemen ar rived, however, the flames were ex tinguished. That the fire was a plain case of in cendtarism Is shown by some eloquent ly mute evidence. Kerosene had been thrown upon the rear side of the build ing and some of the fluid went through the cracks between the boards and saturated the wall paper inside, and a bottle emitting a strong odor of kero sene was found near the place where the fire started. No arrests have been made. There was $501) insurance on the building. & BELLOWS CO.

IT Remonstrance Filed Against Only .One Block. IT COUNTS FOR NAUGHT Main Street, From Mosaer to Douglas, Will be Improved Under , Original Plans. Contrary to previous announcement, ooe street out of the five ombodiod in the recent Improvement program of tho City Council, has survived the on slaught of the property owners. That streot Is Main, extending from Mosher street to Douglas. At a special meet ing of the city council Wednesday night, action was accordingly taken to wards improving that street. The remoDstranco filed at the last regular meeting of tbe counoil against theimprovementof Main street affected only one block thereof from Mosher street to Lane, whereas the official notice previously pOBted referred to the street in its entirety between Mosher and Douglas. The city charter speci fies thut ln order to prevent the im provement of a street a presented remonstrance muet be signed by owners of two-thirds of the property of the whole streot; and to the effect that no particular blook in that Btreet shall be exempt from the improvement, unless the previous public notice specifies that only that block is affected. Ab already stated, the public notice referred to the whole of Main street, between Douglas street and Mosher, The misunder standing of the remonatrators residing on the block between Mosher and Lane, probably arose from the fact that the notice stuted that bids for the work would be asked for by tho block. In the great crush of streot remonstrances that overwhelmed the counoil at Its last regular meeting, the board overlooked the fact that only one block on Main street was affected by a protest. Sub sequently this fact was discovered and Mayor Hoover immediately called a special meeting of the council to take up tbe matter. In accordance with the original resolution to improve Main street, in cluding that block on which the remon strators reside, an ordinance covoring the matter was read before the council for the first and second time?. At the next regular meeting, the ordinance will be read for the third and last time and then passed. Tbe ordinance pro vides that tbe street shall first be re duced to a uniform grade and then graveled, the gravel to be spread on to a thickness of one foot for a width of IB feet through tho center of the street, thence tapering down on either side to a depth of four Inches at the gutters, which can be either of wood or con crete according to the pleasure of the proirerty owners. The stroet grade is to be established and plans and speci fications drawn up by the County Sur veyor at once. Tho work Is to be lot by advertising for bids, same to specify tbe price on each of tho five blocks involved.

Thurston, of Nebraska. Portland, April 12. H. I. 'Staler, indicted during tbe closing momenta of the Federal Grand Jury session, will not be brought to trial. United States; District Attorney F. J, Honey is con- vinced that Mr. Slsler, who is a well- known railroad man, had no guilty knowledge of the alleged Sllotz Indian Reservation land conspiracy, on a charge of complicity in which the in-, dictment was returned. C. B. Zichary, C. D. Barnard and C A. Watson, jointly indicted by the grand jury on a chargo of perjury last Saturday, today filed pleas In abate-' ment. Hearing will be Friday morn- ing, when other pleas in abatement are argued.
