Tho firemen wcro called out at about 5 o'clock last evening to light a 111 o at 112 South Main street, tho promises which have been occupied by Boll's museum, tho head quarters of all monstrosities from all quarters of thoglobo. When tho llro first started tho mummy standing at tho left hand side of tho stago actually wriggled in Its oxcitomont. It tried to givo an alarm, but tho biudlugg about Its decomposed body were so tightly drawn that tho poor relic of Egyptian glory plunged Itself Into a cloud of smoke in dospair and tell upon tho lloor of tho palnco of Immortal romembrances with that deadly thud which so frequently sirlkos terror to tho hearts of tho average dime novel reader. Tho flames raged fast and furiously and thero wcro none in tho place to contemplate all tho variously colored darts in all their glory but two monkeys, a diminutive croco dile, and a Chinese rat. Elaborately decorated sheets of canvass suspondod in tho hall pre vented people on tho street from taking In the full situation of affairs at a glauco. But tho living curiosities, that is to say those abovo euumcrattd, tho otliora being at suppor at their hotel at some distance, saw tho daugor immediately. Tho crocodllo at ouce concluded that it was cheaper to .move than to ray rent, and as no steel bars stood in his course lie soon dropped to tho floor with a safe but ungracoful flop. Tho monkeys at once precipitated a chittcr ingand chattering which would havo out' distauced any woman's sewing circlo on short notice. A menkoy likes poanuts, candy and petting, but it draws a lino at smoke and llro. Those aro facte from history, and not from experience Tho approach of tho flames mado them frantic and in do'peration thoy bit and tore the ropes which held them cap tivo on tho upturned soap boxes nailed aaiiist the walls of tho museum until thoy freed themselves of bondage. Moauwhilo passing citizens had disoovcrod the flro and an alarm was sent out. The llro department responded promptly. Tho first thing the firemen did was to pull tho fat woman from tho second story, and tho roscuo of tho snako charmer and the living skeleton soon followed. Thoy were all on canvass. Frank Codringtoifpicked up tho fat woman with one hand and threw her over a dry goods box. Assistant Marshal Leary glanced hurriedly at the living skoletou and with tho greatest oaso hurlod him into the guttor. I'o! iceman Casey at tho ssmo time bounced tho India rubber man and "Jimmy" Williams grabbed tho speechless organ. Tho llro was raging fast and furious when George Cox saw an oscapiug 'possum ilivo in to a sower, and shouted for I'at King's "Joo." Everything was in an uproar whou a little monkey pulled aside a curtain in ouoof tho show windows aud pitifully appealed for help. "Tommy" Wators, tho comedian and musical phenomenon, could not stand that. In spito of smoke aud flame he rushed in through tho opening which had been made by tho gallant flro fighters and a fow moments re appeared with tho "missing link" In his arms. Cheers greeted "Tommy" and ho said it reminded him of his best days with tho "Trolley." At this moment Harry Close appeared and sworo ho saw tho feet of a man protruding from a demo cloud of smoke. Ono of the "Hookios" mado a grab and giviug a tremeu dousjerk drew forth tho right leg of an Egyptian mummy. "Excclsor!" was tho cry, and tho amputated limb was full of it. In due timo tho flames wcro extinguished aud when thero was about two inches of water upon the museum lloor the lady who is gifted with tho ordinary power of second sight appeared. She did not for soo the flro because she had beefntoak and onions for supper and tho odor of the latter 'was so strong it clouded her mind. Ono of tho Am nion recognized the apology with, "you're a daisy, mum." After the twice-lighted lady got her bear luge on ths friendly side of a soap box she oxflalmed, "Oh! the poor rat!" Theobject of sympathy did not respond, beoause he was In great Christmas dinner shape, although somo of tho firemen did make usa of the plural aud said "rats!" Tho lady who at ono time ran tho ten-cents a-chance-and-drawa-governmeut-bond game apjieared upon tho scone immediately after tho double minded lady aud shared the soap box with her. "Well, this is a nico state of affairs," said sho. Mr. Bell was seen immediately after the flra and oould give no approximate of the low. He afterwards said that $1,003 would cover It. He would make an excellent ex pert for somo of the sheriff sales we have in town. The orediton would also receive their Just dues. Mr. Boll Iwt the Obi cow rat. The alli gator wm found after tho flie floundering in , a pool of water near tho entrance to tho muwini of wonders. Later It was transferred to I'at Gibbons' saloon. Tho stago scoucry, which Mr. Bell said cost him $130, was totally destroyed. Tho ex celsior mummy, which lo n leg In tho ox cltcment, can probably bo rcplarod for less than $500. Tho balance of tho damago will not oxeced $370 If tho court knows itself. Mr. Boll will not start in businoss again In town because, ho says, ho Is ponnlloss. Tho ten cent pieces ho took In for admission fees doubtlessly went to feed tho mummies that Is If the saying is truo that "actors don't oat." As the llEitAi.D reportor wrung tho bottoms of his trousers preparatory to starting for tho rendezvous of a Biirpriso party ho hoard a whistled tuno llko, "Thoy nover will bo missed."

Over fifty years of constant success places Downs' Elixir at the head of thb long list of cough remedies. lm WAITB AND THB "POPS." Tho "Ittuuil to the llrlille" (.ovoriior In Hail Favor. Mr. A. 11. Lamb, who recently returned from Credo, Colorado, says that tho I'opulis s are heartily sick of (lovoruor Waito, who was olectod by their votos. Even tho Ilarky ilauntain News, of Denver, a I'opulist paper, has turned upon tho Governor und said in a recent issue, "Governor Waito has done about as much harm as ho can do to both tho stato and his party. Ho has mado tho stato an object of ridicule abroad and has woakened his party at homo by tho violence of his temper, the frivolity of his action, his ludlfTorcnro to obligations aud tho wild and incoherent utterances of his unbridled tongue." Tho pcoplo of Colorado, Mr. Lamb says, are now fighting Governor Waite to provont him from changing tho laws iu regard to bankruptcy. Tho Governor wants to call a special session of tho Legislature for tlml purpose aud bo also has a pet schemo iu regard to silver. Tho pcoplo, irrespective of politics, aro up In arms against him on tho propositions and tho Denver News, Timet and Sun, as well as all other papers of tho state, aro firing columns of grape shot at him. Tho people don't waiver a bit in regard to their debts, but will continue to fight ad versity on tho old lines and there Is no doubt that thoy will bo on a sound footing again before a groat timo elapsos. Tho majority of tho pcoplo realize that tho repeal bill will ultimately bo a great bunotit to the s ate iu stead of an injury as at present, thoy havo other resources than silver to depend upon. Thoy aro already turning tholr attention to tho old gold mining camps and reports of big "strikes" aro being received every day. Times aro very dull in many parts of Colorado just now anil will be for a time, but tho people uro facing tho advorsity bravely and will ultl matoly be on top. Thoy don't want the bono- lit of bankruptcy laws and won't allow thorn to bo changed for any such purpose. In re gard to tho gold camps, thoy have been producing more gold tho last two months than has been produced for many years in a similar tirao. Governor Walte was put on the ticket so that others might uso him and his friends. His election was a emprise to everybody. Now tho state has li i tn on its hands aud recognizes that ho has been tho cause of groat harm to it on tho silver question. Ho is going lrom luiuing camp to mining camp aud trying to persuade tho men that all hands except his own are raised against them. "But in all my ox pcrlcnco aud talks witli both Populists and Democrats," says Mr. Lamb, "I havo not heard one man support tho Governor, and his 'blood to tho bridle' speech was condemned universally In Colorado." Tho pcoplo of Colorado aro very proud of their Senators, Mr. Lamb says, and the man ner in which thoy conducted tho silver fight iu tho Senate. Thero is no doubt that Wolcott will bo returned next year by tho Republicans. Whilo the light on tho silver bill was going on the pooplo of Colorado were sanguino of success, but after tho repeal they took tho defeat gracelully. All mining was stopped at once and they assumed a dignified attitude, resolvod uot to whlno and beg of the pooplo in the East, but to fall uiou their other industries and bring the state ont of chaos, in which they will no doubt succeed. The position thoy took was an admirable ono. They had appealed to the Hist for re lief aud when they found It would not be given thoy assumed an independent attitude and turued attention to their other resources, At the same time thoy don't give up all hope on the silver question. They are confident that after the Kt once becomes thoroughly eduoated on the subject of silver there will be as many advocates for it in the Eastern states as thero are iu the West at the present time. The people of the East have never really understood tho silver question suffic iently. When such men as Teller and Wol cott speak for tho measure, no matter how powerful the arguments may bo, they do uot havo the desired effect, for the reason that thoy are moro or losioiuterested iu tho pro duction of silver and their arguments sre uot accepted at full value. At the preseut time all the mines at Crede, Coloiado, are working. This is the only min ing camp in Colorado holding its own in production. The Western people, especially those of Colorado, realize that the people and senators of the But were unfair iu circulating the oust of production of silver. The Kant or u jieople allowed nothing for the years spent in least lug aud opening those rUh mines. Kings Iu hundreds of styles at Holderman's. 0. S. OF A. 11KUNI0N.

Camp 200, tho second oldest camp of tho order in this town, has a reputation for entertaining its visitors in a royal manuor, aud last evening's entertainment added much to that reputation. From an intellectual standpoint tho second reunion of tho camps In this district was a docided success, and will no doubt cause ronowod energy among tho membership, which is estimated at ovor COO In this town alono. Immediately after tho regular rout I no business of tho camp had beon disposed of, District President S. L. Brown, of town, assumed tho chair aud In his usual im pressive manner announced tho purpose for which tho meeting had been called. Ho then called upon C. T.

Ho was heartily encored, and was compelled to favor the audience with another selection. Win. Wcaud, tho Stato Secretary, was then intro duced, who spoko upon tho work of tho Older at somo length. Tho great Interest manifested in his remarks was apparent frvni tho strict attention ho received and tho applause that grcotcd him throughout his interesting address. This closed tho program after which tho visitiug members wero given an opportunity to oxpross their views upon various questions. All present expressed themselves us bolog highly pleasod with tho evening's entertainment, aud voted District President Bruwn tho right mau iu tho right placo.
