NEARLY ALL THE DOGS WE'RE CONSUMED.
The famous Gordon setter, Royal Duke,
owned by Walter Hammstt, OF Philadel-
phia, valued at $4,000, broke his chain
and got out badly singed. The only other
dogs saved were the champion English
setter, Paul Gladstone, Pittsburgh, valued
at $4,000, and two Irish settlers and q
pointer, belonging to residents Of Column
bus, which had been taken home last
night. Among the dogs burned was
Patti NJ, prize pointer bitch, Of Cleveland,
which has taken prizes ct all the kennel
shows and valued at $4,000. Inall, over 800
dogs OF different breeds were burned, COM
posing the finest display ever made in
Ohio. Sir Charles, said to be the finest
specimen OF the St. Bernard in America,
owned by q. L. Goodman, Chicago, val
ued at s, 500, and the whole Of the Alta
kennel, Of Toledo, O., composed Of six st.
Bernards, were all burned. There were
between 900 and 800 entries in poultry,
carrier pigeons, etc., from many statea, all
burned. The catalogues and record Of
prise winners were lost, which makes de-
tailed information difficult to secure. The
owners Of many OF the dogs are not here,
and those in charge are generally con-
fused over their loss and can give no in
formation about insurance. The building
carried $500 in the Knoz Mutual. The
stock show would have closed tonight
and was pronounced such success that
arrangements had already been made for
an exhibition next year.

prayer, and after singing Rev. Mr.. Ran.
dolph addressed the meeting on the sub
jsCt, "The Relation Of the Saloon to the
Commercial Interests Of the Stat"
The two strong points made by MIR.
Randolph were: lat, It Is well known
principle In political economy that money
is not wealth, but on the contrary 1t 10 only
the representation Of wealth. That Ia to
say, It represents cultivated brain and
muscle. The ground itself 10 not wealth,
but 1t is what Is brought out OF the soil by
the brain and muscle Of the people that
constitutes wealth. He then claimed that
As the saloon Is the enemy Of both brain
and muscle, therefore 1t 10 the enemy Of
the real wealth, the real capital Of the
country and the State.
His second point was that the saloon
business, 30 called, instead Of adding to
the wealth, the capital Of the country,
simply sinks the capital invested init ont
Of sight. That is to say, about 500 600 Ia
spent over counters in the city OF Wheel
ing every year for liquors. The men who
pay ont this money get nothing real In re-
turn for 1t, All they get is'What they pour
down their throat, and thus they sink out
ot sight and out Of use the 500, 900 spent
for liquor every year.

began be saying the uprising Of the peo,
