$135,0OO FIRE.
4 J. Anderson's Large Gun
Store in Ashes.
HOTTEST FIRE FOR MONTHS.
A Brave FIghesoy the Firemen-A Narrow
Escape of Most Valuable BusI-
ness BlOck-TnSuranee on
Stock $4,000.

At 1:S0 a. m. fire was discover ed in tn.
gun store of A J. Anderson, Houston
street between First and Second, in ona
of the best business blocks in the city.
The department got out on phenomenal
short time, but so dense was the smoke in
the first and second stories of the building,
that the exact location of the fire could
not be seen. Two streams were directed,
one in front and one behind,
manned by as brave iremen as ever han
died nozzle, but to no purpose. The
smoke in mountains roared from every
window and door, and the crowds that
gathered were all of the same opinion:
''The block will 60"
This opinion was backed by the knowl-
ledge that the house had stored in it gun
and blasting powder in greater or less
quantities, and from the combusti-
bic matetial on the second
floor, there being holiday goods
packed in the most tempting morsels for
the fiery demon.
In short order third and fourth streams
was playing gleefuIly but determinedly on
the building The smoke, how
ever, was not reduced, and
occasionally flames would burst from a
window in the most defiant manner. 1t
was impossible for the bravest to enter
the building, though they fought in close
quarters.
At1:5O it was said at least half the block
would go.
At 2:15 the fire was confined between the
walls of the Fair and H. n. Connor's.
Several times was it thought the Fair, on
the south, was bound to go, also H. N.
Connor's on the north, and the buildings
east across a narrow alley, but the firemen,
all praise to them, fought from house-tops,
and when the rear wall tumbled in good
flow of water was pouring on the hottest
part of the confagration.
The operators in the telephone Office
were compelled to abandon their posts,
though they did it reluctantly.
Mr.. Anderson was seen and said his loss
was no less than $4,000 with $4,000 in
surance.
The building occupied by Anderson be-
longed to W. H Davis and was worth prob
ably SIS, 900 to sa5,OOu
When the fire was discovered it was in
the rear of the bookkeeper's desk, on the
first floor, but its origin is mystery.
At 800 it was pronounced by the crowd
and firemen that it was completely under
control, and owners of business houses adj
joining and the people generally breathed
freer, and many were the favorable COM
ments and hurrahs for the fremen.
The magnificent, four-story stone Powell
block was heated as it was never heated
before, though last year disastrous fire
occurred one door south from the
one of last night, and only for
the heavy iron shutters in the
rear it would have certainly fell victim.
Great fears were felt for the First ma
tional bank, two doors south, for several
times was the roof over the Fair adj
joining, ablaze.

Senator Calhoun L. Potter of Gaines
vile, was born in Pontotoc county, Mississ-
ippi, March 6, 1854, and is. consequently,
nearly thirty EIGHT years of age. When he was
four years of age his parents came to Texas.
In the latter part of 1873 he was admitted
to the bar but did not begin the practice of
law until the first of the following year.
From the beginning of his legal career un-
usual qualifications for his chosen profess
sion began to crop out and he arose rapidly,
until he soon attained pre-eminence among
his contemporaries. Although often pre-
yiously urged to accept public honors, he

conferred on him four years after.

perience shows that this important end
can be more nearly attained under q
money system based on both metals,
and through the use of the cheaper
metal whenever o change occurs in their
relative value. The industrial and eco
nomical world find their principal occu-
patton in the production and disertbu-
tion of those things which are necessary
for human wants, and which minister to
human comfort and happiness. They
are not engaged in juggling with differ
ent kinds of money or in exchanging
coins for the small premium which it
may be possible to obtain occasionally
for the one over the other. Under nor
NAL conditions, these premiums are but
insignificant, and if 1t be true that the
changes in the relative market value Of
the metals, which make any premium
possible, are local and temporary, and
are caused by a rise In the value of one
of them, and not by fall In the value Of
the other, then they are changes which
do not affect iDjurlously double standard
countries. 1t Ia the single standard
countries which suffer the evils of falling
prices caused by an enhanced value Of
their money, while 1t is the double stand
ard countries which enjoy the benefits Of
the use of a money which is the better
because the steadier in value. 1t Is the
single standard countries whose money
metal Is temporarily the dearer which
pay these premiums, and 1t Is the double
standard countries which receive them.
Thus, after 1921 this country sold gold to
England at q premium Of from 5 to 8 per
cent. In more recent times France sold
silver to India at large profit, and at the
present time the Germans are paying q
heavy premium on gold, which Is in
accurately described as the sale Of silver
at discount. This premium on gold is
for them loss without any compensa-
ton, and 80 far as they have proceeded In
the policy of establishing gold stand
ard, it has proved an unmitigsted injury
to the commercial and industrial inter
ests of the world and especially of Ger
many.

time and sending tito friends whom we
wish to convert from the "error of their
ways" thus widening the circle Of it's
usefulness.
We were unanimously In favor of
Weaver and Polk for president and vice.
president, but alas, the latter we hear has
been stricken down in the midst of his
usefulness.
But God reigns, and he will raise up
some "good man and true" who will be
able to continue the work 80 nobly begun
by Polk.
May the bonds Of friendship between
the north and south be strengthened.
We await with interest news from the

and integrity of our delegates.

ton with the gas filters or lronmongers
in the town. A schedule Of prices has
been fixed by the gas committee, prac-
tically the same as those charged by the
best trsdespeople In the town, and these
prices are rigidly adhered to. No work,
under any circumstances, Is rendered for,
the department merely carrying out any
older or work that may be intrusted to
it. In connection with 1t are two show
rooms, In which are exhibited chande-
llers, stoves, burners and other gas
apparatus, all Of the best Of their several
kinds.
"In no town in the kingdom have gas
cooking stoves become more popular
than in Leicester. The number Of stoves
on hire at the present time ls nearly
$500, aud the quantity of gas consumed
by these and the private stoves amounts
to at least 64, 100000 cubic feet per snnum.
The consumption of gas by the stoves
during the summer months is nearly 20
per cent. of the quantity consumed. The
stoves give the greatest satisfaction, and
are increasing in popularity with all
classes; In short, they are rapidly coming
to be looked upon as a necessity, and
many architects make special provision
for them in designing new houses. They
are placed In private residences at the
request of owners or occupants free OF
charge, and kept in repair for a nominal
rental, the price ranging from IL to 70
cents per quarter, according to the size
of the stove.
ain the fitting department may also be
found gas burners for fireplaces. Many
houses are heated In this manner, and as
they can be lighted or extinguished in
an instant, they are economical, and have
the added advantage Of being free from
dust and dirt. Many of the man
tells about the flreplaces are
draped with tapestry, which can be
done without fear of burning or soiling,
and the effect Is extremely pleasing.

We have reached crisis in the polltl-
cal history Of our country. The confed
Grated industrial organizations have
agreed upon platform and have called
a national convention TO meet at Omaha,
July 4th, next, for the purpose Of plac-
ing in nomination candidates for the
Office of president and vice president OF
the United States. The forces which
we antagonize are unscrupulous and
backed by unlimited capital, while ON
the other hand those who look TO the
Omaha convention as the hope Of the
republic and the promise Of reform,
though great In numbers are neVerthe-
less poor In purse. We have no rich cor
poFations or syndicates upon which TO
draw for our campaign funds. We must
depend upon the small contributions
from those who love justice and equal
laws as the source of revenue to meet
current campaign expenses. While It Is
believed that all are willing to contribute
literally, yet it seems difficult to reach
the public 80 as to secure timely and uni
form action.
The national committee of the Peo
ple's party requests that all who are In
sympathy with the action of the st.

meets at Omaha on the 4th day Of July,
next, shall assemble In their respective
