COLUMBUS, O., June 7,-To.morrow's
sun will see the beginning OF anew race
for the presidency. Before tho Ohio
Republican state convention adjourns
for tho day the first candidate will be
iairly in the field. His name is William
Mckinley.
Tonight, at least, that is the outlook,
barring IN earthquake or something
equally unexpected, for it seems we'll
understood that McKinley's renomina-
ton tomorrow, which promises to be
by acclamation, is only the start Of a
campaign for the highest honor in the
gift of the nation. Whatever opposi-
ton there may have been here has
apparently failed to organize its forces
against the famous governor, or, with
Chivalry worthy the occasion has been
unwilling to take such an ungraclous
part.
Tho latter hypothesis finds some con-
tirmation in the fact that no name, not
even that of Mckinley, wrought a
groater whirlwind of applause in the
convention to-day than that OF McKin-
ley's old.time rival, ex-Gov. Foraker.
The mention OF Foraker was in brief
address at the very outset OF tho pro.
ceodngs, tho speaker being Chairman
I. S. Purcell, Of tho Republican CEN
trail committee. He was calling the
meeting to order. Instantly the en-
thusiasn found vent in the widest
cheering 1t was a picturesque begin
ming Of the star political convention OF
tho wear.

MooREHEAD, MIMI, June 7.-Hali Of
Fargo Is In ashes. The fire started at
8 o'clock, in restaurant on Second
street, A strong wind was blowing.
At A o'clock the fire had reached the
great Northern tracks, ten blocks north,
cutting the entire distance for three
blocks east Of Broadway. A strongfGht
was made to prevent the flames from
crossing to the west side Of Broadway
bvt by 4 o'clock they had crossed in
several places.
Telegraph wires are all burned, 90
that it is impossible to reach Grand
Forks or Hillsboro to ask for help,
Probably two thousand people are
homeless. The fire has Just crossed the
river to the Moorhead side at the Fargo
roller mill, which will burn.
Among tho principal firms already
burned are Hursey's dry goods. Cranes
restaurant, Magill, farm machinery,
Northern Pacific elevator buildings,
Western Union telegraph office, Nor
ton, real estate, Red River Valley Ma
tional Bank, Daily Forum, Merchants
State Bank, opera house, E. S. Tyler,

A. Woods, Grand hotel, Fleming's drug
store, Veder & Lewis, grocery, Chris
tian's drug store, Sheridan hotel, Appel
Bros, Minneapolis dry goods company
Logan's studio, American iron works,
continental house, Van Brunt imple-
ment warehouse
A strong wind made tho fire travel 80
quickly that hardly anything was saved.
The flames went through brick build
ings as easily as wooden ones. The loss
will be over 81, 100000. as practically the
entire business district Of the city Is
gutted already.
STILL BURNING.
At 10 o'clock tonight the fire was
still burning fercely In a couple dozen
places. Brick buildings seemed to melt
away into heaps of crumbling sand, and
it was impossible to force enough water
through the mains to fight the fire.
A conservative estimate Of the loss
ia $3.00O.0 900, with not to exceed one
quarter insurance. Over 5000 people
tonight are homeless and 1t is almost
impossible to veryify accidents.

Pre-cm inence of the Bean,

Beans are more nutritious than
meat, and it is likely that at no dis
tant day science will devise some
method of preparing them as food
that will overcome what is now the
greatest obstacle to their universal
use, the difficulty with which they
are digestcd by persons either not of
robust stomachs or sedentary in
habit. It is not at all unlikely that
with the growth Of population and
the consequent increase in the cost of
animal food they will take the place
of the latter to a considerable ex-
tent. They are exceedingly rich in
portein, or muscle building sub
stance, and therefore have a power
of sustaining men through arduous
physical toll. The lumbermen of
Maine, it is said, almost live on
baked beans and never tire Of them

Foreign and Am erican Pearl Fishers.

The beautiful pink and bronze
pearls from Wisconsin are becoming
very scarce. The pearl bearing-mol-
lusks in Wisconsin streams are prac-
tically fshed out, as they have been
out of almost all the waters in this
country where peaEls have been
found in any considerable numbers.
European fishers open the shells with
an instrument that does not destroy
the animal inside, and if no pearl is
found it is put back into the water.
The American pearl fisher destroys
ruthlessly, and in two or three years
he has thrown himself out of a job.

A Talk With an Elephant Hunter.

Mr.. Selons is full of elephant sto-
ries. He has killed over a hundred
of these monstrous pachyderms. He
says that although they smell a man
quickly they do not discern him we'll
with their eyes, If he stands quite
motionless, the odds are they will
mistake him for tree or stump and
leave him alone. African elephants
stand about 10 feet high, and their
tusks weigh from 80 to 70 pounds
each. The most edible part of the
elephant is it's heart, after that it's
foot and its trunk.
The elephant is natural reservoir
of fat, and out of his cavernous inte-
rior the natives carefully excavate
every particle of tallow as soon as he
is disemboweled. AS they battle in
his blood and allow it to dry on their
bodies they are not very desirable
companions. The elephant when
wounded goes on and on until he
drops; hence it is seldom any use
following up the trail Of any but
a very badly wounded beast. When
very hot, they insert their trunks in
their stomachs, draw up the water
and sprinkle it over their backs, pre-
ferring apparently to have the mois-
ture outside rather than inside. The
natives eat all the elephant to the
bare bones if they can keep the car
cass from the lions and the hyenas

FORTY DOLLARS SAVED The BANK.
An Ingenious Scheme That Restored Con.
htlence to Depositors. ~

An Ingenious Scheme That Restored Com
Adence to Depositors. n
Old timers tell the story how r. j.
Kelley, a contractor of this city and
now manager of the horse market in
Grand avenue, by very clever ruse
stopped run on bank and pre-
vented it's going to the wall way back
in 1871. At that time the Kansas
City Savings association, now the
National Bank of Commerce, was To-
Gated at the southwest corner Of
Fourth and Delaware streets Mr..
Kelley was then secretary and cash
Ter of the Corrigan Street Railway
company, and the company's account
was kept at this bank.
The much despised penny was not
then in general use here as now.
People were ashamed to pay for any
article with pennies, except perhaps
postage stamps, and the old fash
toned fare box" in the cars became
dumping ground for them. From
50 to IS in pennies would be found in
the boxes by Mr.. Kelley every day.
He usually dumped them in sacks
and stored them away in the COM
pany's vault.
During the crisis Of 1871 the people
became very much excited and
focked to the banks in droves to
withdraw their deposits. Runs were
made on nearly all the banks in the
city, and several were forced to sus-
pend. One day a run was made
upon the Kansas City Savings bank,
and the people were lined up wait
ing their turn to reach the tellers,
who were paying out money by the
basketful, when happy thought
struck Mr.. Kelley. He went to the
police station, secured three police
men to guard his treasure, loaded
eight sacks of coppers upon wheel
barrow and took them down to the
bank. The sacks had originally con-
tanned gold and we're labeled on the
outside ''$5, 900" in great big black
letters.
Arriving at the bank, one old COL
ored woman who had come to with
draw her small savings called out,
"Why, Mistah Kelley, wha' TO yo'
put all that money in here when
we'se a-drawin our money out?'
Kelley replied: That's all right.
This bank isn't going to bust. can
put more money in here in one day
than all you people can draw out in
six months, - as he trudged into the
bank with the last sack.
This display of confidence on the
part of the street railway company
had aquieting effect upon the crowd,
and they rapidly dwindled away.
The sacks contained just $40, but
1t saved the bank kansas City

Senator Wolcott's Wonderful Wardrobe.

Senator WOlcOtt's Wonderful Wardrobe.
MIR. Wolcott is the only man in the
senate who claims to be dressy. He
has an extraordinary collection of
clothing, and he probably spends not
less than $10,O 900 year on dress. l
know of one year when he sent a
check for 50, 500 in March to a New
York firm that makes his clothing,
and this represented only what he
had ordered since Jan. 1.
In his house at Washington Mr..
Wolcott has one room of fair size,
fitted with shelves like dry goods
shop, devoted entirely to the storage
of clothing. Another room adjoin-
ing is devoted to shoes, of which Mr..
Wolcott has almost a countless num-
Der. When he takes off a suit of
clothing, his valet brushes it, folds
it and lays it away on a shelf.
When he takes off pair of shoes, a
''form'' is slipped into each of them
before they are put in their places in
the shoeroom, so that they may not
lose their shape.
Mr.. Wolcott never wears the same
suit two days in succession. He sell
dom wears a suit more than once
month. He has new suit made
every week. Mr. Wolcott is in
strong contrast with the average
senator, who has one suit made in
the fall and another in the spring,
and who gets through the year with
one change of clothing.-Phil
