FJ.OKKNCE, May buildings, logging outht and some belonging to the Ludington Van fcchiek Company, at their Brule farm, about three miles north of here, were destroyed by fire, which originated from forest fires-which are very bad in this section of the country. The loss is between $30.000 and Frank Deeper, the foreman, lost all of his household goods, valued at SUPERIOR, May from Gordon. a small station thirty miles south, say that forest tires are raging and that several building have been burned at and near the place.

WAWACA, May was received hern to-day that forest tires were raging in the "towns of Helvetia and Wyoming, sixteen miles north of this city, and unless heavy rains fall in a few days, the entire towns will be burned over. Near Hunting Station, on the Lake Shore Road, are 2,000,000 feet of lumber, which, if started, cannot be saved, and if burned will entail a loss of $70,000.

Sparks from Lake Shore trains have sot the woods afire, and crews of men are watching night and day. OSHKOSH, May has reached here to the effect that terrible forest fires are raging in the vicinity of Hunting. This is the point where 30,000 cedar posts were burned Monday. Kow a lumber y.ard located there, and owned by Turner in threatened. Men are working night and day to Have the 2,000,000 feet of pine in the yard.

WHITE Ci.oci), M.ioh., May five upper townships in this county have been a surging sea of nre ever since Sunday, and it is believed that not a single one of the small hamlets is left. Fields Station, with its four saw mills and general store, is no more, and the 900 people who lived there Sunday are to-day without home or roof to cover their heads, Otia, or Uinpman, as it is known to the postal authorities, is but a collection of smoking luins, with the 200 people who called the place home standing around in despair. Park City, 'in Lincoln Township, went out in fire and smoke yesterday morning. Kothing is left of the cluster of small houtes that marked the place. Lilly Station is hardly worth the name of station, as only "the small hotel and smaller railroad station are left to mark the town.

site. Freight cars without number burned, and logging trains melted away into ashes on the tracks where they stood awaiting their loads of lumber. BALDWIN-, May forest fires are not under control. Thompson- villc is not entirely out of danger, but the citizens are back-firing around the town and doing everything possible to prevent it getting into the village. Ward's log railway, eight miles north of here, is in immediate danger should the wind shift to the north.

To-day several have come in from the county, each with the game story, that of losing all buildings with their contents and escaping with what they had on their backs. Last night r. Johnson, near Branch, left his home for a short time and on returning found his barn and outbuildings were in a short time to be destroyed. He immediately set to work to fight the fire but was driven away oy the intense heat. The towns along the Frankfort Southeastern Railway are in danger.

The fires west of Mamsteo Junction are out. Stearns' camp, six miles west, suffered a large loss, after a hard fight for three days.

In each case the destruction of the homesof the inhabitants was accompanied by heavy loss to the 1 umber firms having "sawmills at the places named. The loss to these firms on buildings and machinery amounts to over $100,000. In. addition to this an amount not easily to be reckoned has been lost in the destruction Of the forests. At present there is little hope that the fire can bo soon stayed, and the entire lumber district of lour or five counties lies 'at ite mercy.

There has been little raiu this season, and the country is in the same condition it was in when it was devastated in 1871. KADEAU, May fires have been raging all day about two miles from town, doing great damage to timber and larm property. The large barn of Marcel Dumas burned to the ground with a quantity of hay and grain. Several yoke of oxen and a number of sheep perished in the flames.

The following morning, however, with crew at quarters and four big guns on deck, the EUta left the harbor, carrying the pilot and the United marshal as prisoners.

The pilot and marshal were landed five miles up the coast. Supercargo Bell, of the Robert and Minnie: the pilot and five seamen who deserted from tne schocner were captured and are under bonds. The Etata steamed directly for Acapulco, Mexico, in the vicinity of which port the Chi'mu insurgent war-ship a vessel that is the counterpart of the Charleston, is cruising about, awaiting the arrival of the Etata.

And loand no path I strayed along As happy as the bills of sons. Asin the days when time began Are played the merry pipes of FID, And never rises note of wrong Upon the happy bills of song. There is no frost of doubt to blight: The sun of faith sheds Irutroiu light; To peace and joy the hours belong Upon the happy hLUs of song. Then ho! who will, and follow me! Throueh flowery meads the path shall be; Fear not the way la steep or long. Unto the happy bills of tong.

Lo! I have farea and fared again Far up and down toe ways of men, And found no path I strayed along As happy the hills of Bazar. Chippewa Fmlto Sensation. CIIIPPEWA FAti8 May shootingafiray occurred here last evening, in which ex-Mayor McDonnell, president of the Lumbermen's National Bank of this city, was the. principal actor. Mr.

McDonnell met one E. J. Akey, advance agent of Prof. C. U.

Winfield, a Chicago optician, who, be suspected, waa the man who burglarized hia home the night before. He caucht Akey by the throat and emptied one chamber of a 44-caUber revolver at him, but missed bis aim. Bystanders rushed to, disarm him when a second shot was fired, this time taking effect in the'shoulder of Charles Bergeron, making a. bad but not fatal wound. Several police officers came upon the scene, bat refused to arrest McDonnell.

Akey asked for a warrant for McDonnell's arrest for assault with intent to kill, but was refused, the district-attorney and court saying that only a warrant for assault would be granted. At McDonnell's request Akey himself was put under arrest on a charge of being the burglar, but -was discharged in the municipal court Wednesday. Akey clearly proved an alibi, and there is every" prospect that McDonnell will be prosecuted for false imprisonment, besides being under arrest for assault with, intent to murder. Thinks He "Working" Sympathy. WAPKESHA, May story of John Bernhardt's love affair as a motive for his crime does not meet with much credence by the authorities.

The iheriff thinks the murder was committed for money and money alone. He found some love letters'when he was searching Bernhardt's trunk, but they were from another source. He found only one letter from Miss Schley, and it was not of such a character as to make him 'change his views. Sheriff Gaynot thinks Eerhhardt is the public to secure sympathy. Mrs.

Jacob Herbrand, a sister of the murdered man, was seen by a Wiscoxsix reporter in regard to the matter. She said her neice used to keep company with. Bernhardt several months ago, but all intimacy between them had teased at the request of the girl's They were on friendly terms, but that was all. She did not think Henry Schley, Bernhardt's victim, had ever interfered-in the matter. The young lady is Miss Emma Schley, daughter of George Schley of New Berlin.
