Missouri Pacific Depot Burns. Fire was discovered in the south end of the Missouri Pacific depot last Wednesday evening some time between the hours of seven and eight o'clock. The cause of the fire is unknown. Agent Rearick was at his home when the fire was discovered, having just returned from up town where he had been at the barber shop and was working on his daily reports. The depot, which was a wooden building had done service every since the railroad was built through here.

The fact that the building was constructed entirely of wood made the work of checking the flames impossible. The blaze had gained such headway by the time people had arrived on the scene that no attempt was made to quence the flames and the efforts of the citizens were directed to saving several cars which stood on the side track in close proximity to the burning building. When Agent Rearick learned of the fire he hurried to the depot and succeeded in saving a quantity of books, papers and a small amount of cash contained in the depot. These articles were carried to his home a short distance from the depot for safe-keeping. When the agent entered the depot the heat and smoke was almost suffocating and it was only by hard work and a determined effort that he succeeded in saving anything.

The fire company responed to the call promptly but by no hope of saving any portion there, the the time the boys arrived was burning A stream of water from the engine was played on a burning flat car and after the blaze had been extinguished the car was pushed down the track out of danger. It is reported that a quantity of wet good, contained in the depot as express, was consumed by the flames. Other articles of freight and express was burned, amounting to several hundred dollars. An insurance was carried on the depot building and fixtures. While the fire will evidently result in a better and larger depot for Altoona in the the near future, yet the public and depot force will suffer no little inconvenience for a time.

Two box cars are doing duty as a temporary depot for the present while an anxious public is waiting and earnestly hoping that the magnanimity of the Missouri Pacific officials will prevail to the extent of giving us a neat little brick depot. Pay taxes at The Altoona State Bank. Dan Cosler, general superintendent of bridges and buildings of the Fort Smith division Missouri Pacific with headquarters at Coffeyville, called for a few moments last Saturday. is Mr. Cosler was with some of his workmen arranging temporary quarters to be used as a depot in place of the one burned last Wednesday, evening.

He had charge of the work of enlarging the depot here about two years ago and he informed us that there was, a proposition at that time to remove the depot to the north end of The proposition was favorably considered for a time by the railroad company and a new brick depot was under contemplation. A gentlemen, prominently indentified with Altoona in a business way, offering to furnish the for its construction, gratis. However. a hitch occurred in the proposed plan and it was never carried out. Mr.

Cosler could not hazard an opinion as to the kind of depot the Missouri Pacific would erect here when a new one i is decided upon. You will have occasion to smile by obtaining some of the many bargains at Hubbell's "Happy Week Sale," beginning Monday, November 18. Ww. H. Patterson of Grand Junction, who had been here for the past several days looking after his real estate interests, left Sunday for Cass county, where he has other interests.

Mr. Patterson owns a farm east of town occupied by D. M. Thayer. He will return here for a few days before going to his home at Grand Junetion.

In the play, "A Woman of with Miss Courtenay Morgan in the leading role and which was given last Tuesday night at the theatre, decidedly the best acting ever seen here was witnessed. Every member of the cast was a high class performer and the production was fully capable of presentation at standard price theatres in any city.

The costumes worn were superb, the stage settings beautiful and the acting far beyond the average. In fact, the play suggested itself as being entirely out of it sphere in appearing here, more especially so when the fact was taken into account that the company appeared before empty benches. F. E. Hawley who had been conducting a series of revival meetings at the Congregational church closed the meetSunday night.

Mr. Hawley is a Presbyterian minister and the meetings being held as union services by the Presbyterian and Congregational denominations. Rev.
