Debs was enth usiastically received

and oppression of Pullman toward his
employees; secondly, by the railw avs

Debs then SAID that he had always

was thrown down and an effort made
to crush organized labor and there
was a time when not to strike meant

Nothing But Ruins Greets Those

Philips, Wis, July 3O.-The ter
rible scene here beggars all descrip-
tion-the blackened faces Of those
who fought to save their homes, stare
with blood-shot eyes at the heaps of
ruins which mark their once happy
homes. Not since the terrible forest
fires that destroyed Peshtigo, has any
thing occurred which will compare
with the scene Of ruin here. A COM
mituee of citizens from Ashland ar
rived with a special train of provisions
Saturday night at o'clock. 1t was the
first material relief to arrive and it
came Just in time to keep the people
from actually suffering from want Of
food. Provisions were given out in
small quantities SO as to make them
last as long as possible and keep
something available until other pro-
visions arrived
Men and women walk the street all
begrimmed, wringing their hands and
bemOaning their sad IA te. Only
town hall and a few small buildings
are all that are left standing They
were Immediately converted into
shelter for the destitute, but only a
few of the women and children could
had to remain without shelter and
food all night, but tents were
brought in from neigh boring towns
and imprOvized huts utilized. Gov
ernOr Peck and his staff arrived from
Madison yesterday, as also q dozen
cars of provisions from various cities
and the organization for relief has
been completed.
Great crowds of residents who were
chased out of the city by flames Fri
day are returning to look over the
ruins Already lumber is being ship
ped in for the purpose of rebuilding,
and operations have begun
Two more bodies have been recov-
cred from the river where the ter
rible loss of life occurred, those of
Mr.. J.. Locke and one of his chill

the desperate men, women and
children took refuge was pushed
from the shore Before it
had gone far the suction of
the flames drew it right up into
a regular furnace Of fire. The boats
were either overturned or the people
jumped. 1t is now estimated that if
teen lives were lost at this place. 1t
is supposed that the bodies of several
children are buried under the ruins of
the wagon and foot bridge, which it is
claimed gave way while they were
trying to escape from the flames to
the peninsula which runs out into the
lake, approaching closely the location
of the John R.. Davis Lum Der COM

and money, and these will be amply

this night, within the brief interval
after the people left the theater,
while we were dressing to 60 to our
hotel, a terrific snowstorm-such as
you can find only in the West-came
up. The snow drifted against our
doors and all about the streets, so
that we had to remain all night in the
theater. OF course, we got hungry,
as actors will sometimes do, and we
began to search for something eat

struck a box of beans, which
were used to initiate the sound of
rain. By shaking the box a stage rain
storm could be produced. We took
this rain as the profession is pleased
to call it. but saw no way of cooking
it. Some one suggested that the
thunder might be good thing to
cook it upon, in lieu of nothing better.
The 'thunder'was a sheet of tin or iron,
which was shaken to make the roar
Of heavens artillery. We bent the
thunder so that it would hold the
beans, but were at a loss for means
for producing heat. Our property
man suggested that we use light
ming, a powder of lycopodium. used
for making flashes upon the stage,
for the fire. We found quite lot of
this, and with the addition of some
ssnow'-little bits of paper used to
represent the beautiful-we started
quite a fire and succeeded in cooking
the beans, which we ate with relish.
Resolving into stage parlance, we
used thunder lightning and snow
