Nominations.
Proceedings Yesterday at the Con-
vention of POpulists.
The Water Question Bobs Up A Again-Th'
Platform Adopted-Other Resolu-
tions--Some of the Nomina-
stions Passed.

The city convention OF the Peoples
party met yesterday at Opera hall on
Main staeet near First.
Mr.. @. w. Batchellor, chairman of the
county central committee, called the
meeting TO order and at request J. l.
Steward was permitted to make state
ment to the audience.
Mr.. Steward took the floor and stated
that he had had hard fight against the
Citizens Water company that he had
been compelled to pay over $500 for
fighting the company that fur
missed the vilest water that white
man had been forced to drink;
that it was time to take this matter in
hand and the city own its own water;
that ex-Mayor Workman was candi-
date for mayor and wanted the indorse-
ment of the Peoples party; that
the said Workman was a stock
holder in the City Water COM
pany, but would sell his stock If en-
dorsed. This wac not the kind Of men
they wanted. Mr.. Steward stated that
he had paid hundreds of dollars to
doctors to save his wife from the effects
of that water. We want to put q
man in office who will do what he
says in black and white for the people;
this city wants to own its own water
works. People are compelled to pay
more money for water than the rates
fixed by the council. We have it in our
grasp to force this company to the wall,
and the city to own it vn water works.
/ have been struck at in the city council
for defending this question, and it is
time to stop it,"
Mr.. Steward eaid that Mr.. Innes had
been his strongeot friend in this fight
all the way through, and that Major
Bonsall had distinguished himself by
his opposition to the much-needed inn
provement.
The chairman then asked for nomina-
tions for temporary chairman.
E. G. Schnabel was placed in nomina-
tion and elected.
After some few preliminaries 7. A.
Gum was chosen to act as temporary

BARN AND HAY BURNED.
THE BLUE LINE CAR BARN GOES
UP IN SMOKE.
A Conhagration in the West Part Of the
City-Ali the eAnimals In the Barn
Saved Except One Poor Mule.
The Loss Quite Large.

One Of the most disastrous fires that
has occurred for some time took place
yesterday. The scene of the confagra-
tion was the stable of what is popularity
known as the Blue Line Street Car COM
pany.
The FIRE was discovered abont p. M. !,
and the fire department notified by tele.
phone. The engines promptly responded,
but were unable to render any service
owing to the fact that the stables are
situated beyond the district of fire
plugs.
The stables are situated on West
Washington st 'eet, about two blocks
beyond the city limits, and the nearest
fire plug is good mile away.
So the G.-e department were unable to
give other assistance than to help in the
rescue of the horses and were forced to
stand by and see the stables, hay and
surrounding building, one by one, taken
possession of by the flames.
1t is unknown how the fire originated,
but it is supposed it must have started
from epontateous combustion of the hay.
At any rate the first discovery was made
by an employee Of the stables named
Peck, who went to the hay shed to get a
bale of hay, and found the fire had al
ready gained fast hold of the combust-
able material.
There were about 100 head O. horses
and mules in the barns, and these were
all rapidly removed save one poor mule,
whose escape was cut off before
he was reached. Two COWS were
also consumed. The stables were
soon seething mass of flame, and the
building Immediately to the left soon
began to smoke, and presently burst into
flames. This was occupied bo Gibbons
& McGinnis as saloon. 1t was totally
destroyed. Next the buildings across
the street from the stable caught, and
in spite of heroic efforts on the part of
the bystanders, were burnt to the
ground. In this building were the
| hardware store of Kellar and gro
Gerry store, while the rest of the building
was used as lodging house. A good
deal of the personal property was
rescued, but the heat soon became so
great that no approach could be made
to the premises.
The loss will be very large, as little
property was insured, as far as could be
learned. The barn was worth about
$4,000, and the hay, about 400 tons,
| 5000; while the other buildings and
property would probably foot up $4,000
| to $40. 900 more. The cars, harness and
horses of the company were removed to
| their old stable at the corner of Twelfth
and Flower streets. The hay was all
baled, and will probably burn for a
