Perhaps never before in Midland were
jugs so freely resorted to as at the Presbyterian church Tuesday evening, but
they were not tha kind that breed snakes.
These ju^s yielded about $60 for the missionary cause and there was great rejoicing. There were appropriate exercises.

Last evening while a large crowd were in
Husted's opera hail to witness the play'
of "Notice to Quit or Ireland as it is,"
by Brown and Tucker, someone raised the
cry of "fire and instantly a rush was mad©
for the stairway.
By the presence of mind of some who
were m the hall a panic was averted,
alth'tf-qgh everyone was anxious to get
out ■ and not very particular how that
was either, as was shown by some of the
men- jumping from the windows down on
the lower' bnilding's and thence to the
ground.
Messrs: Brown '&. Tucker. .inform *us
that they saved all their things, but.--.tbat
they are not in the best of condition,
' some of the costumes getting wet and
then being frozen.
The firemen turned out in splendid
shape and two streams of water were

The fire was discovered to have
caught from the .chimney between the
second and third floors. While the play
was in x^rogress and before anyone
■thought of fire the smoke became so \
de'nce that'it was with difficulty that you
could see across, the hall. The smoke
was supposed to come from the > stove in
the hall and no attention was paid to it
until son>eo*0.e remarked thut the building musfelfQp-M%^H:

St. Valentine's day was celebrated in a
very appropriate manner in the public
schools. The teachers and pupils all assembled in the high school department,
where a post office was erected and fitted
out very nicely., "A sketch of the life and
history of St. Valentine, together with
many facts pertaining to the origin of the
custom of celebrating. the day and of
sending Valentines,, was read by the
principle. An abundance of good music
was rendered on the occasion, and after
the ponderous mail*was {distributed,' Mr.

'Chris. E. Ehrhardt, who occupied one
of the stores on the ground floor with a
general provision house got ell of his
stock out in good condition. His loss
will not exceed $100. Chris, moved into
E. H. Bandail's old store this morning
and will be ready for business in a day
or so.
Al. Ervey's billiard pffflor occupied
another, store on the grouad floor. The
billiard tables were moved out, into the
street, and his loss would be fully covered by $50.
O. Beamer and Geo. Lawrence had
saloons in the next two buildings.
Their contents were moved into the
street, and consequently liquor and cigars
to the amount of about $100 were missing this morning. Their loss will reach
$300.
Geo. Brown's barber shop and B, Patient's shoe shop occupied the corner
building. George moved all of his
things into the street, Mr. Patient getting his things ready to move but
thought he would wait until the fire got
a little closer. By so doing he saved
himself the trouble of moving them
back again. Mr. Brown says he will be
ready for business again to-morrow.
H. Orth moved some of his things out,
and up as. far. as Wolsky's they were

An unsuccessful attempt was made
in the House this week to compel tha
•committee on elections to recount
the votes for Representative-'in Isa-

Burr a Chance to make a showing -or
to reply to the protest filed by Mr„
Ralph. The committee will hear
the ease to-morrow, and then decide
whether a recount isjbo be had.
It is not thought probable now
that any change will lie made in any
of the judicial circuite. Indications
point to the defeat of both the Bobinson and Sharp bills, as each is opposed strongly.
