Nov. 7.— A tire broke out at an early hour this forenoon, and before the fl iea could be checked over twenty-five buildings in the business part of the town had been destroyed. The town being absolutely without fire protec tion and the structures light they were licked up like tinder. The principal losers are Baker A Co.. Parish Sons, aud the Mas sev Manufacturing company. The total loss is estimated at $130,000, with very lit tle insurance. Another blaze started in a different part of town this evening. Strong suspicions are entertained that the fire is the work of incendiaries. Public indigna tion runs high. The mayor addressed the crowd and advised them to take the law into their own hands. The Corn Crop. Chicago, Nov. 7.— The following crop summary will appear in this week's issue of the Farmers' Review: The more complete returns from the corn belt confirm the earlier reports of averages of -field as disclosed by husking, and confirm the prediction made early in the year that the tot.l yield would lull considerably under that of I&SS. Reports from fifty-three counties in Illinois show a still smaller average than by first reports, being placed at __*$£ bushels. Fort* -nice counties in lowa show an average of _.*kj bushels, or a slight increase over earlier reports. Thirty-two Kansas counties 6bow an average of 21*"4 bushels, or a decrease of- 1 .; bushels from the first reports. The twenty-six Missouri counties disclose an av erage" of __J_ bushels. The reports from these states are now so complete that it is not expected that the final estimates will show any material change. Twenty counties iv In diana show an average yield of 3_'-* bushels. Twenty Ohio counties disclose a yield of 41 bushels. Twenty-seven Minnesota counties show an average of %$% bushels. Nine Wis consin counties snow a yield of '11% bushels. Nine Nebraska counties show an average of 2S bushels. The reports of yield made from Michigan are the only ones disclosing an un usual yield. Thirteen counties report an av erage yield of blji bushels, and it is certain tbat the average >ield for me state will tar exceed that of any other great corn-raising State in the Union.

HOT SOAI', BIT TURNIP. Startling Result of a Practical Joke on a Barber. A well-known young man, who is engaged in the real estate and insurance business took a seal in a barber's chair. For con venience he will be called Joe. He is a very fastidious young man, prominent in exclusive society circles, is a native sou and has a private cup in the barber shop, says the San Jose (Cal.) Times. Joe laid back in the chair, closed his eyes and dreamed of large stacks of hay he would insure during the day. The barber reached for Joe's private cup. and after considerable etfort he got enough j lather out of the cup to shave once over his face. The barber made two or three strokes of j the razor and thought he detected a queer i odor on Joe's breath, and said; "What kind of liquor you drink this morning already?" "1 don't drink, sir!" After few more strokes under the chin the barber said: "You vas had a party last night, no?" "No, sir." The whiskers were then scraped from the other cheek and the barter said: "Your stomach is out of order some?" ••What's that?" The odor was very strong by this time, and finally the barber said: "1 can't shave you until you take some thine for your breath. It smells like a sewer." Joe jumped eleven inches out of the chair and said: "What's the matter with* your own breath* It would stain furniture. I nearly had the cholera while you were shaving me!" And the young man started for the washstand, while the barber stood with the cup in his hand wrapt in thought He placed the | cup mechanically to his nose, and a stench struck him that would cause a blush ot shame to inautle the cheek of the open sewer ditch. Two comedians had put a job on him. but did not anticipate the result. Yesterday morning they had cut a piece out of a tur nip in the form of a cake of soap and placed 1 it in his shaving cup. He did not come to j the shop yesterday and the vegetable be- I came sickly. Enough lather had remained in the brush to shave him once, and the i joke was to be on the barber when he would break his arm trying to raise a lather out of a piece of turnip.

An old policeman seldom gets fooled on a street gamin. Yesterday, when a woman ran out of her house on Fifth street and in formed a passing officer that a boy was ly ing dead in the alley the officer didn't hurry any. If the boy was dead hurrying wouldn't do any good. If dying the officer couldn't save bun. He walked slowly around and found the boy stretched out on the ground, very much alive, but still making no effort to get up. "Somebody ran over him. and the wretch ought to be discovered and punished!" ex claimed one of the crowd. "He may have shot himself," added a second. "1 think he fell from that shed," put in a third. "Or some larger boy almost killed him," chinned o woman. The officer paid no attention to these re marks, but after a look up and down the alley he bent over the boy and inquired: "11-iw long have you had it?" "Half an hour." "How many did you eat?" "Two." "Well, you'd better get up and keep moving and it will go away the sooner." ' What is it?*, asked live or six voices. The officer crossed the alley and picked up a half-eaten turnip and held it up to view. Everybody uodded and said "Urn!" and the crowd quietly dispersed. How She Buried Him. Washington SpeciaL A novel way of disposing of an old love affair is that adopted a few months since by one of the brightest and prettiest of Washington belles. The young lady wears as many hearts dangling from her belt as does an Indian brave of scalps. Wishing at the time mentioned to announce the breaking of her engagement to a young army officer, now stationed in the far West, but formerly well known in Washington, she issued invitations for a luncheon to a few of her most intimate friends. The center piece of the prettily spread table was formed of a mass of blossoms, in the midst of which, heavily draped with crape, rested the young officer's photograph. - 1 — Fashionable Doctors. Bab. in the New York Star, says: Surely.

D. attached to his name. At present it quite as often means master of dames as anything else. Pretty little Elise sums it all up when she says." "It isn't you know, the medicine that the doctor gives that one cares so much about though, of course, one takes it; it's the awfully nice way in which he makes you understand that he is going to take care of you, even if every other patient gets no care at all." And they say men are not good actors in daily life! .Till Go to Church. Pittsburg Dispatch. "I tbmk I'll go to church this morning," remarked Jones.

John Bradford Does Not Agree With Some That the Trotter Is King, And Thinks M. T. Grattanls the Man That Places the Trotter Before the Runner. Stony Ford to Be Sold-- What Mr. Case Will Do With Glen view. Br. J. H. Bryant*- Purchase. Dr. Bryant, of St. Paul, who lias made a pood deal of money within the past few years in real estate, is now turning his attention to j a considerable degree to well bred trotting j horses. It is to be hoped that he will con tinue in this direction, for if he once sets bis mind well upon this business he will prove, without doubt, one of the most active and ' vigorous breeders we have in Minnesota. The doctor is the owner of Silver, that trotted a mile to road wagon la 2:33. and Cyclone, that trotted a mile this season in 2:31. Cyclone is six years old nnd very promising. His new purchase is Black Princes, a black mare foaled in 1879. bred by R. C. Reynolds, De Ray. Giles county. Term. She is by Bay W-olford, ho oy Alexander's Edwin Forest, out of Missoura, by Mambrino Chief.

Black Princess is with foal by Tom Hal, sire of Little Brown Jug, 2:11 4. This mare appears to be a very proui i-in_r one, aud of good stock. She" is at M. A. Balfour's stable, on S. idling avenue. How to flake I rollers. Watson Sargent, of Goshen. N. V.. has re- ! cently returned from Palo Alto, where he as- I sisted in training the young stoCK belonging to Senator Stanford during the past year. The ; climate did not agree with him, and so he re- I turned. He brings information from that ! point which will be or great Interest to all j horsemen. He says that it is the senator's j determination to place 100 of the get of Elec- . tioneer in the 2*3. list. The suggestion was I made 10 him that the stallion uii-ht die. To I this be replied that the old horse had enough J living colts to accompli-h the undertaking, owing to the senator's methods. He says tbat the development of a high rate of speed is the chief aim and object mi Palo Alto, and that a two or three-year-old that cannot show a 2:1:. gait for an eighth or quarter is rejected. Senator Stan ford will uot accept a quarter in 31 see-on I**. T ie survival of the fittest is tbe principle that the senator g-e- upon, aud when the pick are able to go the distance they are required to perform against the watch for a record or sent East to be entered in stake races. The last tew years have demonstrated that In order to make trotters it is not only necessary to have the best of trotting stock, and to unite judiciously these strains, but that it is also necessary to teach the produce when young how to trot. These conditions have been pretty fully complied with at P.ilo Alto and Glenview, and the result is well known. The Trotter 1. "lot King*. To the Editor 01 the Globe: In the turf department of the St. Paul Daili Globe of Monday. Nov. 1, 18.6, there is an article under the heading, "The Trotter is King." whicii is taken from the Breeders- Gazette, and was doubtless written by M. T. Brat tan. who draws a lesson "from tbe Rancocas and Glen view sales of horses that is interesting and may tie u.-eful if properly ap pl ed by breeders. The point of the lesson is that it nays better to breed an raise trotters than it does runners. Several years ago Mr. Lorillard. in New York, and Mr. McFerren, at Glenview. Ky., commenced breeding horse-;. The first bred running horses, and the other trotters. Both gentlemen bred on the same general principles. That is, both were men with g >oJ business ideas about breeding, both bed to get winners, both put latge amounts of money into the business, and paid large prices for what they regarded as the Lest they could get. The Lorillard stables of runners, and the McFerren stable of trotters, were two of the best collections of horses, in their respec tive classes, in the United States. Two weeks ago both th se stables were sold tbe same week, one in New York and the other at Glen view. It would be difficult to conceive of a fairer opportunity for judging of the com parative value of trotting and rutin blood than these two sale, afford. There has never before been so good an opportunity for a com parison of this kind, and will not be again, probably, for year** t > come, as it has never before been the case that two great breeding establishments, one representing the trotters and the other the runners, meet under the hammer tne same week " Now, this is all very true, with the exception of the conclu sion. Mr. Lorillard and Mr. McFerran were t pical breeders in their separate classes. Rant-ocas and Glenview were typical estab lish me. is. No horseman should ret use to ac cept either place as a representative farm. The Gazette, however, fails to tell that the 10. horses S"ld at Gleuvtew were the entire stud of Mr. McFerran, and that the 83 SOLD TUB SAME WEEK at Rancocas were the remainder left after the twenty-seven he id had been sold thy pre ceding February at auction for $149.-50. or an average of 520 a piece, has any sale of trotting horses ever attained this average? Let us not. however, accept even this. Messrs. Lorillard and McFerran are typical men, Rancocas and Glenview are typical places. Let us compare the prices of the 110 horses sold nt auction at Rancocas in Febru ary and October, and the 168 horses sold at Glenview in October. Mr. Loriliard's 110 thoroughbreds sold for $291.91'). an average of ?_.f*s4 a piece. Mr. McF-rrnn's 108 bead of trot tint? horse* sold for $32. .699.52. or an ! average of $1,932.11 a piece. This makes 1 the average per capita of tbe 110 horses sold | by Mr. Lorlilard $721. more than the aver- I age price paid for the 168 head of horses sold ! by Mr. McFerran. Again, even leaving out this sale at auction of twenty-seven bead of Mr. Loriliard's test horses sold last Febru ary, which a Just comjarison would never permit, the average price of $1,721.62 made at Rancocas of the eighty-three head of horse sold therein October, shows most forcibly the superior value of the thoroughbred, when we read Mr. Bruce's statement "that a number of the broodmares were blind, physical wrecks, and past the age of tbeir usefulness." One mare sold lor only $25, several others for $50 and $1 0 a piece. Mr. G rattan is a most able turfman, a charming and intelligent writer, but If he at tempts to demonstrate that trotting horses sell better than thorou.hbreds, he will soon find he has undertaken au impossible task. John Bradford. Stony Ford For Sale. For more than twenty years Mr. Charles Backman has owned and conducted the breed ing establishment. Known to all trotting horsemen in the United States, as Stony Ford. It will be a surprise to many to be informed that Mr. Backman proposes to sell out the whole establishment. If not sold privately between Jan. 1 and March 1. the stock will be so on the premises at auction. Stony Ford consists of 600 acres of excellent grazing land. It was at this establishment that the great Electioneer, now owned in California, was bred. So was Cuyler, recently sold at the Glenview sale, and Au gust Belmont, tbe sire of Ton Cossack. Un til a few days ago Mr. Backman has bad the assistance jot" S. D. Shipmau, a gentleman of marked ability, but the latter died a few days ago and Mr. Packman does not feel like t-tkin. the responsibility and assuming the labor of atteuaing to such an extensive es tablishment. He will therefore sell as above stated. Ad n» in Ist rat or. •'Veritas" states that Dr. E. E. Frost, of Worcest r. Mass., has Just returned from Kentucky, where he contemplated selling Administrator, 2:29"*-*. He could not find a fitting opportunity to plane before buyers at Louisville, immediately after the Glenview sale. Administrator was It-it at Louisville in charge of Steve Maxwell, who will ship him to Lexington, and Ed A. Tipton, of Paris, Ky.. has authority to sell him at a reason able price. Administrator is the sire of Theseus, owned by W. L. McGrath, of St. Paul, and is one of the few living sires by Rvsdyk's Hambletonian. out of a daughter of Mambrino Chief. The blood of Administrator has proved ,ts power through bis male and female descendants. They trot early and train on for a long time. Mr. McGrath has a number of bis produce that are very prom ising. .if r. Case and (ilenyie Louisville Post. J. L esse, the purchaser of tho Glenview farm, is in the city, and has arranged a plan by which be will stock the place and operate j it on a grand scale. When Mr. Case came to j the city to attend the celebrated sale he bad ! do intention of buying the farm. When be! saw the place, however, and heard the figures that were being bid, he was not long in mak- ' in? up his mind. It was then his idea to bold j it merely as a speculation. on a , further , view of the land and Its adaptability to stock ' raising, be ha? fUnUlv cow-Wrtfd toiin»r_. •■_ j He purchased it for about $74,000 and bag since received a number of bids on the place, but bas refused to sell at a cent lower than $100,000. He thinks tnat it Is cheap at these figures, and that it is well worth $160,000 to any one desiring to operate th. place. "He came to the city yesterday and Is stop pin? at the Gait house. He has visited the farm and made a thorough inspection of all details. This morning he was in consultation with Mr. Sim Meddis, of Meddis & Southwlok, the agents who sold the farm, and through bis attorneys is closing the sale. "His plan is to hare the farm fitted op la the ver. best order, and some improvements made for stock raising next soring. He will remove the stock be purchased at the sale to bis place at Racine, Wis., for the -winter. His object in this is a piece of economy. His feed and facilities for win tering stock are all at that place. Next spring, however, he will remove to Glenvie* farm with his best stables. He will bring Phallas, which is the srreate.t stud torse in the world: and Brown, a celebrated young stallion, and several others, together with a number of brood mares. He will engage actively In the breeding of fine trotters, and will make Glenview his headquarters and winter residence. The track will also be en larged and prepared for the training of the stock of the larm." * *l|i O'll.lHCOll-.. C. F.

It was the intention to have him sent last week' to lower .Manzanita's four-year-old rec ord of 2:16. but the weather and track would not permit of It. J. I.

Government bonds were dull and j rather hejivy. state bonds were quiet but i firm. The stork market was firm to strong, j without any marked improvement in prices I until toward the close.

Loss of time means loss of money. Medicine is needed to invigorate, regulate and tone the system. But many medicines make half-sick people wholly sick, and time and money are lost in getting well after taking them. | The Liver is the cause of nearly all bodily ailments, such as Dyspepsia, Constipation, Head ache, Sour Stomach, Bilious ness, Colic, Low Spirits, Kidney Affections, And a medicine like Simmons Liver Regu lator, that will remove and cure these disor ders without causing loss of time, and strengthen and build up the worn-out body, even while the person is at work, is certainly a boon to working people. Rev. Ft. G. Wider. Princeton, N. J., says; "I find nothing helps so much to keep me in working condition as Simmons Liver Regulator." NOTICE TO CREDITORS. State of Minnesota, County of Ramsey— ss.
