Layilla, supurb of this city,we destroyed
by fire at $50 this morning, entailing loss
ofiabout S125,OO0. The fire caught first in
LilienthaPs block, and from there spread
with such fearful rapidity that the fire de-
partment stood no chance Of coping with the
flames. B0wden's Turkish bath establish
ment was soon In flames, and the fire leaped
across the street, destroying a row Of two
story cottages, the inmates all having narrow
escapes, fleeing to the street In their night
clothes and losing everything. Occupants Of
houses two or three blocks distant in all di-
rections became alarmed, and hurried their
household goods into the street. The scene
at 430 was a desolate one. Nothing was
standing from the bath house northeasterly
to the southeast corners of Clay and Bridge
streets. For several blocks on all sides furni-
ture from a hundred deserted houses was
piled up in the streets, or scattered about in
yards, while the half dressed owners stood

ONE of the three or four men who
are fighting Mr.. Funston here at home
was asked the other day what reason
he had for opposing him. He replied,
"Why he has never got any appoint
ments for anybody in Allen county"
That is to say, strong, able and
efficient man is TO be unseated and the
whole district injured thereby, be-
cause he has not found an office for
everybody i'm Allen county who asked
him for one! Truly that is a high
moral.plane upon which to run CAM
paignI But the men who make this
charge do not in doing SO give their
real reason for opposing Mr.. Funston.
The charge is only a pretense, to cover
their personal soreness. When they
say HE has never done anything for
anybody" they mean "He has never
done anything for Ne" With posi-
bly, two exceptions, every man in lola
who is opposing Mr.. Funston, asked
him for an Office. The gentleman who
is an alleged candidate against him is
not one of the exceptions.

THE three or four daily papers that
use column every day vilifying Mr..
Funston are very much dissatisfied
with the course of the REGISTER. If
this paper takes occasion to correct
their Misrepresentation, they say,
fTHE lola REGISTER has stopped
advocating Mr.. Funston's candidacy
aggressively and is using all Its space
defending him." If we payne atten-
ton to their diatribes then they say
THE lola REGISTER has practically
given up the fight by refusing to de-
fend its favorite candidate against the
gravest charges" If it were not that
the readers for whom the REGISTERS
columns are filled are more discrim-
mating, we should be quite in despair.
Trusting in this discrimination, how
ever, we are able to contemplate with
reasonable calmness the uneasy
squirming of our esteemed, but some
what ratified and overheated contem-
poraries.
