It has been mentioned by one of bur
citizens that some compensation be ren
dered to those who at fires ruin their
clothes. For some cause or other, the
fires in this city lately have occurred on
Sunday when the majority of people
have on their best. In many instances
men render valuable assistance to prop
erty owners and the city and by so doing
damage their wearing apparel to a great
extent. It has often been noticed and
commented on numerous times, that
those who have the least at stake do the
larger pari of the work at fires. It is
suggested that either the property own
ers or the city should make some com
pensation for the loss sustained by hav
ing clothes mined by water and other
wise. Our fire companies are volunteer
and their services are always at the dis
posal 01 tne city. However, a man
working for small wageB can ill affoid
to lose Eeveral dollars for clothes ruined
at each conflagation. Somebody has got
to do the work.. . Who usually does it?
We will leave it with you. Give those
who are willing to work and save prop
erty for others, as good as they had when
they went to the assistance of those who
needed it immediately.

At 5 :15 last evening the shrill whistle-
ing of a locomotive was heard and al
most Immediately the peals of the fire
bell rang out announcing to our citizens
another fire. It was found that the
Columbia hotel was in flames and with
in a few minutes the Hook and Ladder
Co. was on the scene, followed closely
by the Columbia Hose Co., who in six
minntes from the time the alarm
Bounded, bad a stream of water playing
on the flames. The Jackson Eneine Co.
had their engine located at the intersec
tion of Second and Court streets and did
most effective work. The fire caught
from eparks falling on the roof from a
flue in the northeast, portion of the
building. Mr. Toomey, proprietor of the
hotel, formed a bncket brigade and was
doingj effective work when the wind
which was blowing furiously at the time
caught the flames and spread them
rapidly, so whenthe firemen arrived it
appeared as though the whole east side
of the hotel was on fire. Many ex
pressed themselves as confident the
building was doomed and also a great
portion of that end of town. However,
the firemen worked gallantly and too
much praise cannot be given them, for
it was one of the best fought fires that
ever occurred in the city. Inside of fifty-
five minntes from the time the alarm
was sounded the fire was ont. This
wonld have been good work for a paid
department.
Our water commissioners are ' to be
congratulated, for yesterday's fire
proved that the new system which was
recently put in is a decided Success.
There were seven streams from the city
water works playing on the building,
and at tle time, the indicator at the
engine house showed mnty-five pounds
preeBure. This alone is undoubtedly the
cause of saving a greater portion of the
town from a conflagation similiar to the
ones of '91 and '98. '
During all the other large fires there
has always been a lack of water but
from present indications we need have
no further fears in this line for as soon
as all streams were cut off the . resevoir
showed that the water bad fallen but
four inches. The O. R. Sc N. Co. did
most excellent service and the pressure
from their pump house was sufficient to
blow eeveral of the nozzles off.
With this great amount of water pour
ing into the building the bouse was fair
ly flooded and the flames checked. The
entire roof of the east wing of the hotel
was burned and charred but the rest of
the building was not damaged only by
water. - as yet the actual losses cannot
be ascertained, but it is estimated that
T. X. Nicholas, owner of the building
wMI sustain a loss of between four and
five thousand dollars. No insurance. J.
A; Toomey, lessee, will lose about $400
with no insurance, while - numerous
roomers lost a great deal of their belong
xngs.
Estebenet and Esping's bowling alleys
were flooded with water but they went to
work immediately after the fire and
drained their building and today the
alleys are in as fine condition as usual.
Chas. Frank, proprietor of the Butchers
and Farmers Exchange will, sustain a
loss of about $500, mostly caused by
breakage and leakage, for everything in
his place of businees was taken out. He
is fully covered by insurance. Some
things were removed from Wm. Jones'
cigar store but his loss was eo trivial
that it is not estimated. Further partic
ulars in regard to theloseee will be given
as soon as we are able to ascertain them
