"That proves again just what I
have always said," remarked a citizen
this morning in the hearing of the
Observer, "What are you speaking
of," inquired citizen number two.
"Why about this fire house business.
Everybody could see how it was at the
depot fire this morning. There were
all the hose carts—three of them—and
the ladder truck, all way down at the
lower part of town, making a good
half mile run up hill in the snow. Of
course the building was beyond saving
before the alarm was given, but suppose there had been a chance—suppose it had been one of the factory
buildings across the track there, you
couldn't have saved a thing with that
distance against you." "Well, how are
you going to help it," was the query.
"Why use the old high school building
for a hose house; the up stairs would
make a good council room, too. One
of the carts could be left in the old
building in the first ward, and the rest
of the outfit put in the old school
building." '"'Yes, that might do, but
it would cost something to fix it up,
wouldn't it, and taxes are high enough
now?" "It wouldn't cost the city a
darn cent," was the expressive reply.
"There are half a dozen carpenters in
the fire department, and the boys have
offered, time and again, to fix the
building up and do the work for nothing." "Well, why isn't the thing
done? Who is kicking on it?"
"There's the thing of it. Nobody is.
kicking. Everybody says it ought to
be done, but neither the city council
nor the school board, to whom the
building belongs as representatives of
the district, ever get a move on, and
the building stands, of use to nobody, going to jack and ruin assist as
it can, the windows knocked out and
the doors standing open from morning
tonight with the snow driving in.
j Nobody uses it but the boys, and that
[for no decent purpose." The citizen
is not talking yet, but if he were, it is
probably all the good it would do so
far as arousing the proper authorities
to make any move in the direction indicated.
Did you ever notice how hard it is
for most women to walk four or five
miles, and if they do, what a fuss they
will make about it, and how tired they
will be for a week. Still, they will go
to a dance and stay until the "we sma'
hours" "without even thinking of being tired. The average waltz takes
one over three-quarters of a nrle, a
square dance makes you cover half, a
mile and a gallop equals a good mile.
Count up for yourself how much a girl
with a well-filled program traverses in
an evening. Twenty dances is the average, of these about twelve are waltzes. This makes nine miles. Three
gallops and she has done 12 miles.
Five other dances at half a mile apiece
brings her to 13 miles, to say nothing
of the intermission stroll and the trips
to the dressing room to renovate one's
gown and complexion.
*
There has been a falling off in the
demand for "free rides" on sleighs
passing along the streets. Marshal
Adams has been making things red
hot for the boys that "catch on." A
few days ago the Observer noticed a
team drawing a sleigh already well
loaded, up the south hill, when about
fifteen boys pounced down upon it
from every quarter like the resembling of a flock of buzzards. . Neither
threats nor intreaty from the teamster could drive them off,, and the
tired horses struggled up the hill as
best tliey could. On another day a
young boy attempting to "catch on"
was thrown under the sleigh, and the
only wonder is that his neck was not
broken. The marshal has been taking
a hand in the matter, and now a loaded team or any other can go along
without being buried out of sight by a
mass of squirming, yelling, kicking,
punching "kids.J' Good for the marshal.

"Tell you what we need," remarked
a gentleman to the observer to-day,
"We need a system of electric fire
alarm. Of course we can't have it
yet, for it will cost a little money, and
everybody cries "taxes" whenever an
improvement is mentioned. See how
long it was this morning after the depot caught fire before the fire whistle
blew. A remote corner of the city
might burn up before the other side
of town knew of the fire. If all a fellow had to do was to run a block and
turn in the alarm, locating the fire at
the same time, how much valuable
time might be saved."

"Looks kind o' old fashioned, don't
it, to see the cars stopping at the old
Main street depot," was the remark
one man made to-day, referring to the
change made necessary by this morning's fire. The fire of the union depot
was not over before Agent G-alliver
had three crews of men clearing away
the old depot and preparing it for passenger use, in which capacity it has
not served since the T. & A. A. road
was built, about eight years ago.   .
FASHION NOTES,
Spangles have been revived.
Silver jewelry is much in vogue.
Appleyne lace is gaining in favor.
Present styles greatly favor combinations.
The reign of the Alsatian bow is
ended.
Fashion favors smooth-faced dress
material. '
The dainty "Valenciennes lace is once
more fashionable.   '   *
The chemise, so long in disfavor, has
again become popular.
China linen promises to become the
popular fabric for lingerie.
Satin-de-laine is a dressy fabric resembling sateen in weave.    .
Severe simplicity is no longer required in fashions for young girls.
The middy suit is the smartest costume lately designed for small boys.
White petticoats are worn with all
toilettes excepting the street costume.
"Galloon and jet trimming are especially liked for velvet and satin gowns.
The up-to-date silks do not rustle,
being far too soft, the frou-frou of silk
Is no longer fashionable.
Everything is trimmed with fur this
winter from the cloth street costume
to the crepe evening dress.
A new color, several shades lighter
than navy blue, is called mistral. It
is not exceedingly beautiful, but is
very stylish.
One of the most becoming and useful dresses for small children is the
sailor suit, which is suitable for both
boys and girls.
Wash ribbon is extensively used for
the trimmings of ladies' underwear.
Pale blue, yellow, pink and white are
the colors most favored.
Skirts that are to be worn out-of-
doors are finished at the bottom, with
a silk cord the color of the material,
or by a thick cord covered with velvet,
or satin matching the dress or trim-,
mings.
One of the best models for a youthful figure is the "Oarew" waist. The
corsage is slightly pulled at the back
over a fitted lining, and is without a
yoke. The full fronts droop in French
blouse style and are held in place by, a
yoke top, a pointed girdle and the
usual fitted lining. Any of the soft
fabrics used for fancy waists, will
make ux> nicely by this model, and if
tlio yoke is made of passementerie or
lace, laid over a contracting color, the
effect is charming. The neck may be
finished with any of the high collars
now in use.
Express Their Thanks.

hoping to return the compliment in
the near future.

The Fire Was  Well  Under Way
When Discovered Shortly After
Five O'clock This Morning.-
FARGO, vs. GAJLUY.
jCjiii.o
It Originated  From  a Defective
Flue of the Restaurant Stove.
Shortly after the five o'clock factory
whistle blew this morning, Frank Bellinger, night operator at the union depot for the F. & P. M., went to the
restaurant as was his custom, to see
that the fires were burning all right so
that the rooms would be warm when
the restaurant girls came, and as he
opened the door a sheet of flame shot
out from around the ceiling. There
was no fire around the stoye nor near
the floor, but seemed to be all over
head. He ran out and gave the alarm,
though it was some time before word
reached the waterworks and the whistle responded, and even that seemed
to be frozen up, the temperature being
six below zero. Bellinger attempted
to save whatever wa.> valuable in the
F. & P. M. office, but the fire had so
good a start that it was but a short
time before the whole building'was
full of flame and smoke, so that very
little was saved from it. The baggage
trucks and scales aie all that was removed from the baggage room.
Two streams of water were on as
soon as could be expected, considering
the delay in the alarm, the distance of
the hose house and the low state of
the mercury, the hose and firemen's
garments becoming stiff in a' few moments in spite of the heat of the burning building.
When it was seen that there was no
hope of saving the depot, attention
was directed to the wooden ware factory's office across the track and to the
inter-locker building, which was already in flames, but was saved. The
fire made a clean sweep and at eight
o'clock little was left but embers.
Nothing-whatever was saved from
the T. & A. A. office and nearly nothing from the F. & P. M. The safe of
the latter has not yet been opened as
it is still too hot to handle. But it.
contains quite a sum of money. The.
total loss of depot and property is between $5,C00 and $6,000, insured. The
loss of Mr. Adams, who conducted the
restaurant and lunch .counters, is
heavy, as they were well furnished.
However, it is understood that the insurance is ample.
The T. & A. A. freight depot is being fitted up for temporary use while
the F. &. P. M. people will use., their
old passenger room in the freight and
express building at the McEwan street-
crossing.
Not Altogether Harmonious.
The shoir was singing a new arrangement of the beautiful anthem, "Consider the Lilies." The pure sweet voice
of the soprano rose clearly and distinctly in the solo:
"They toi-oi-oil not,*"
They toil not, ■ '
They toil not,
Ny-y-y-ther do they spin."
She paused, and the tenor took up
the strain:
"Nee-ee-ee-ther do they spin.
They toi-oi oi-oil not,
They toil not,
They toil not,
Nee ee-ee-ther do they spin."
The tenor ceased, and the basso,   a
solemn, red-haired young man with a.
somewhat worldly-looking eye and  a
voice like a fog-horn, broke in: -
"Nay-ay-ay-ay-ther do they spin.
They toi oi-oi-oil not,
They toil not,
They toil not,
Nay-ay-ay-ay-ther do they spin."
Then the voices of the three were
lifted up in semi-chorus:
"Ny-y-y-ther       J
"Nee-ee-ee-ther  \   do they spin.
"Nay-ay-ay-ther j
They toi-ox-oi-oil not,
They-toil not,
They toil not,
•"Ny-y-y-ther       )
"Nee-ee-ee-ther  >■   do they spin."
"Nay-ay-ay-ther )

Grand B,apids, Mich.,
Jan. 22, 1895.
To the Citizens of Clare and, Vicinity:
Mr. E. H. Waller has now, and always has, since he started, the exclusive sale of our own make of boots and
shoes in Clare.   We sell them to no
one else, and there is no one else carrying a complete line of our goods.
Yours Respectfully,
Binge Kalmbach & Co.
lawyers for the plaintiff had a3?:ses
the abandonment of the suit &s tJksrj
did not deem the compaey's chances
very good. The case came to trial
Tuesday,' the company being represented by Supt. J. H. HiginboufraH?
Ass't Supt. Wormley and 'Attorney
Graves of Detroit. Mr. Galliver's side
of the case was ably handled hy Attorneys C. W. Perry and John Giber-
son of Clare.
In opening the case, the plaintiff's
attorney wished the jury to "fully appreciate that the suit brought against
Mr, Galliver cast no reflections upoia
that gentleman's honesty or ability,
nor upon any other gentleman in th©
employ of the company connected with
the case, Mr. Galliyer having served
the express company well and faithfully for a long time prior to the loss
involved in the suit and since that,
time, that no "change whatever had
been made in his relations with the
company nor any contemplated.
He claimed that the company had
sustained the loss of a certain money
package which originated at some>-
point in Illinois, and delivered at their
Chicago office, destined for Battle
Creek, but owing to a mistake made
by an employe in the Chicago office,
had been sent to Clare instead bgA
disappeared—there being no further
account of it. Mr. Galliver as the
agent for the company at Clare had
given bonds to them, with J. G. Bock-
afellow and A. J. Doherty as sureties,
which bond covered the responsibility
of himself and employes. The money
package they trace-to Clare, therefore
to his jurisdiction, and suit was
brought to recover on his bond for the
loss of said package.
Mr. Camp, receiving'clerk.at Chica-*
go, was introduced, who showed how
the mistake in sending the package to
Clare had probably occurred, also, the
Battle Creek agent who swore the
package was "short" at his office. A^
L. Smith, messenger on the T„' & A.
A., stated that he delivered such a
package at Clare on October .27, 1892,
and had the receipt on his book of A. ,
N. Smith, the transfer man at Clare.
But when asked to produce the book
containing the receipt entry, .it was,
discovered that the page on which the
entry was claimed to have been made
was missing.
The defense showed that no such
package was received at -this office nor.
did any of the records of Clare station
,show any thing relating to it, nor was
anything short at this office.
The company essayed to  introduce
evidence relating to the burglary of
the Clare office on the night of Octo- :
ber 27,1892, which was, however, ruled
out.
Judge Dodds said, among other
things, in his charge to the -jury: "I
charge,you gentlemen, as a matter of
law, that there, is. no testimony in-this
case from which you can find there
was any money in the package claimed
to have been received by Mr.. Galliver.
No witness has been,placed upon the
stand to show that any. money was
ever placed in that package, and there
is no testimony from which you ca*n
find legally that any money was in the
package at that time. The person who
placed the money there, if it was
placed there, theyf have not produced
nor has their evidence been taken, and,
as the court sees it, there is ho testimony from which the jury can legally
find there was any value to the package, if it; were received, at the Clare
office; therefore, the court instructs
you that-your verdict in this case must
be in favor of the defendant,, "No
cause for action."
The jury rendered its verdict as instructed. * -'      *

such occasions.
