Totally DEsTRoYED.-About nine
o'clock last Monday night the barn
of Mr.. Harry Thomas, about one and
half miles from town, was discov-
cred to be on fire, The flames rap
idly spread and soon had enveloped
= >,their whitening embrace, the whole
building, which, with all it's contents,
was destroyed. Among these were
700 bushels of wheat, so tons of hay,
COW, etc. No insurance and no
idea as to how the fire originated.
The loss is very heavy, coming as it
does at an unpropitions season ofthe
year. We sympathize with Mr..
Thomas
SUCH paving the ground and snort
ing has probably seldom been seen,
\ and we shrewdly suspect that it was
Nirt, and not fur, that flew. 1t is
rather a damaging admission, how
ever, that Prof Henry Carter's
speech was so much better than than
that of the Republican candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney."-Statesman
The above is in reply to the local
notice given in the INDEPENDENT, of
a recent meeting of the Young Mems
Republican League. 1t will be seen
the confused editor of the Statesman
has mixed up the orderly meeting
with his midnight drills and demo-
cratic caucuses. 1t will o so be ask
ed when "shrewdness" became part
If the Statesman's working force.
We don't wish to be opposed to the
edicor, and if it was dirt on the backs
of democrats and their principles, in
sJcad of fur, better let it be dirt.
Prof Carter did make good speech,
and the best way for this really bril-
y at journalist to believe it, is to
IN ckle him. Feidt, too, would rattle
hp the Statesman's dry bones.
READ AND CONSIDER .-Our stock of
Carpets is complete and in point of
variety and style, not surpassed by
any other house, but we pride our
selves on our low prices. Remember
it is no trouble to show our goods
and one price to ALL
