Cannot Keen Her in the BACKGROUND,

81 don't know what Chehals county is
going to do with the Populists and hard
times" said John McMcrchy, who is in
the city from Aberdeen. "Matters were
bad enough over there when the Popu-
lists first began to appear, hard times
followed close after them and now the
Populists are as sick as rag-weeds on a
Tennessee hillside, and things are pretty
blue. But even these distressing condi-
tons cannot keep Chehalis county in the
background. She has resources that capt.
talists in many parts of the world are
hunting for now, and have been for years
past, They will find Chehals county
some day and factories will begin to
appear and commerce and agriculture
will be developed in Il way heretofore UNI
heard of. In fact, the golden age Of the
entire state is still in the future. -

CHIPPEWA FALLS, WIS, Sept a.
Northwestern Wisconsin 10 ono sea Of
flames, and reports arc coming in to
this city constantly Of fatalities caused
by the great confagration. Tho towns
Of Rib Lake, Marengo and Bradshaw
have been completely wiped out and at
the latter place three people lost their
lives. Many others are missing, and it
is impossible to estimate the extont OF
the sufTerings by the people. Yester-
day message was received here from
Caddoc asking for aid. The town was
threatened by forest fro and tho in.
habitants wero almost panic atricken
over their imminent danger.
Several buildings on tho outskirts
caught fire and were shortly reduced to
ashes. but fortunately the fire was pre-
vented from spreading to tho others.
The citizcns were greatly excited ut the
prospect OF losing their, homes and pre-.
parations were made for hurried flight
In case the town fell prey to the fro.
Almost two miles away In dense
forest which terminates at the limits Of
the town the woods are In vast blaze
and the wind is carrying the flames
with great rapidity toward the town:
this is Caddoc'4 greatest danger, and i
no rain falls before this evening 1t will
certain to be wiped out. The inhabi-
tants realize this fact, and already qnite
d number have taken refuge In the city,
while tho others arc prepared for flight
on moments warning. No news has
been received from the party sent to
the rescue OF the village, and fears arc
entertained for its safety.
