southwest corner of Wabash avenue and

shortly after 11 o'clock. Eight linns oc
cupied the building, which is owned by
A. S. Trude. The loss will aggregate
SloO.000. Though the blaze was con
fined to the Trude building, the firemen
had to make one of the stubborn battles
for which the Chicago department is
famous. The gale was blowing fifty
miles an hour, and in et ery direction were
enormous stocks of goods stored in in-
llaniniable buildings. A second tire in
Ilavmarket Square at the same time did
several thousand dollars' damage.

Three hundred delegates were present
Monday at the opening session of the

which was presided over by ex-Delegate
to Congress George Q. Canuon, of Utah,
who was elected president of tlw? coii-i
gress at tue m. i.ouis garnering iasi
year. The general object of the congress
is the promotion of the welfare of the
West, and under this head a vast number
of questions have been scheduled for dis
cussion and action. Among those are the
irrigation of arid lands, the improvement
of waterways and deep-water harbors,
the construction and maintenance of
levees on the Mississippi and its tribu
taries, discriminations in transmissis-
tsippi freight rates, the necessity for a
national bankrupt law, the restriction of
immigration, methods fr the relief of
agricultural depression, the project for
cable communication with ilonolulu and
the admission of territories to Statehood.
At noon Thursday the ears of Col. Rob
ert G. Ingersoll must have burned and
his heart must have palpitated. If the
great agnostic were a believer in mental
telegraphy he must certainly have re
ceived numerous messages from people
whom he had never had the pleasure of
meeting. At 12 o clock TURM supplica
tions went up from the Cleveland Chris
tian Endeavorers to the throne of grace1
in behalf of the salvation of the soul of
Col. Ingersoll. There was no general
meeting of those interested in the Col
onel's salvation, but the effort was an
individual one on the part of the nieiii
bers of the Christian Endeavor societies
of Cleveland. At the meeting of the
Salvation army a fervent prayer was
offered for "Pagan Bob," ami each mem
ber of the great army decided to send the
Colonel a personal appeal to see the
error of his way and to embrace tin
faith of the Christian church. This ac
tion was taken amidst great enthusiasm,
and it is likely mat the mail of Col. In-
gersoll will be materially increased by
several thousand letters from his new
friends in the Forest City. The Chris
tian Endeavor societies of Canada have
been requested to unite upon a day in
prayer to God for the conversion of Col
Ingersoll.
One of the most disagreeable storms in
the annals of weather bureaus descended
on Chicago late Monday afternoon. It
rained, it snowed, and between times
sleet pelted down pitilessly. Untold dam
age was caused by the elements. When
iiig. Lit came the downpour ui ttie mix
ture of snow and rain and sleet came
heavier and the wind, which was gusty in
the afternoon, rose to a gale. The streets
the pavements and sidewalks were Hood
ed to a depth of three inches with slush
The storm made the pavements almost
impassable; street car tratlie was seri
ously interfered with; trolley lines wen
broken with the weight of the snow; tele-
phono and telegraph wires were borne
down, broken and crossed until half the
wires in the city were made useless by
midnight, and communication with the
outside world was entirely cut oil e
cept at long intervals. Ends of broken
trollev and other electrically chargt'1
wires dropped into the streets to the po.i
tive danger of passers. Numbers of acci
dents of this sort were reiwrted from
various parts of the city, and the opeu.
lion of trolley lines in the outskirts of the
city suspended early in the evening on
many streets. Then, too. the lake was
lashed to a seething caldron, and it
seems a miracle that many boats were not
not lost at the harbor entrance, as a two-
days' storm had driven them all to that
end of the lake, and snow obscured the
harbor lights.

Investigation throughout the executive'
departments at Washington as to stamp
thefts has resulted in mi ending even
worse than was first expected in the
Treasury. Autograph fiends, too, have
been at work among the files. The sig
natures of many great men, long since
dead, especially Presidents of the United
States, a tlixed to papers in the land of
fice, have been stolen. The papers have
been in many instances rendered practic
ally valulcss by this mutilation, which is
a very serious matter.
Among the bills recently presented for
redemption at the United States Treasury
nt Washington were ten of $100 denom

five of $.")0. They were nibbled mound
the edges, but enough remained to ren-
der them good. This $2.700 constituted
a mouse's nest. The bills had been laid
away in a trunk, and when the owner
went to look for tltem they were gone.
Search was instituted, but no trace of
i hem could be found. Finally a househole
was notice! through the bottom of the
trunk, leading under the floor. The
boards were taken up and a mouse scam
pered away, leaving live Ii tie pink and

The office of road inquiry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has completed an
interesting investigation relating to the
common roads of the United States. Re
turns have been received from about 1.-
1!'H counties, showing the average length
of haul from farms to markets or ship
ping points to be twelve miles, the average
weight of load for two horses 2.002
pounds, the average cost per ton per mile
20 cents and $ for the enfire haul. Es
timating the farm products at 210,824.
227 tons in weight and making estimates
o-i other articles carried over the public
roads, it is calculated that the aggre
gate expense of this transportation in tho
United States is .Stt4i5.414.tHi." per an
num. Reports have been asked from the
United States consuls alfoad of the ex
pense of hauling win-re the roads nre
good, so as to render possible a calculation
which will show how much of this vast
outlay is due to bad roads. The estimate
is ventured, however, upon information
in the office concerning the loss of time
in reaching markets, the enforced idle
ness and the wear and tear to the live
stock and hauling mi-hinery caused by
Ioor roads, that two-thirds of the cost
might be saved by an improvement of the
roads.
