LAST NIGHTS FIRES.

The Department Called Out Twice
Within Couple of Hours.
About 8:36 last night fire was discovered
in the three story brick building occupied
by G. b. Scovill, iron founder, the
Specially Manufacturing company, and F.
L. Harris, manufacturer of brass, copper
and silver wire. The fire department was
early on the scene and located the fire in
the garnet of the apartments used by G. B.
Scovill. A line of hose was quickly laid
and a well directed stream of water soon
extinguished the flames. The origin of
the fire is a mystery. The place was used
as a storeroom for patterns, old ledgers,
letter files and bill heads. The fire evil
IDENTIFY was caused by spontaneous COM
bustion. space about thirty feet square
is charred and many of the patterns
are ruined Mr. Scovill estimates
his loss at $4,000. His place
is insured for $4,000 through
N. ]. Welton and j. G. Jones. f. K.
Harris, whose rooms are in the first floor,
got out his stock with little damage, The
Specially Manufacturing company occu-
the third floor next to the room where the
fire occurred. They are slightly damaged.
The company is insured for 81 900 through
J. G. Jones. The damage will not exceed
So, 900.
A couple of hours later an alarm was
sounded from box A. corner of South
Main and Washington streets. G. r. Vim
cent, who conducts grocery store at 955
South Main street, left burning lamp be-
side an empty barrel. 1t is supposed that
the heat of the lamp ignited the barrel.
The firemen quickly put out the flames.
The damage will not exceed SIS, most of
which was CAUSED by water.

Is there such thing as luck? Let a
man come to the conclusion that he is
lucky and some day he will he will find
that he has deluded himself and the de-
fusion will ruin him. He who thinks he is
child only to be lulled along in the strong
arms of Fortune, some day discovers that
his dependence upon a theory and not
upon condition has landed him in the
gutter. The man who concludes that he is
child of misfortune is really victim of
his own weak character, and he falls be-
hind into the rank and file of the disap-
pointed. He has gone to the extreme.
The chances are, too, he has had his OPP
portunity and failed to grasp it-he let his
chances like sunbeams pass him by. We
must stear clear of getting into that frame
of mind. To avoid these two extremes
and be happy, let man watch himself;
depend upon himself; back up that de-
pendence with pluck and zeal, grasping
every opportunity, and if there is any luck
lying around loose piece of 1t will come
his way.
r Remember, luck isn't always luck. Ger
tain effects must follow certain causes. If
one man works earnestly and thinks deeply
he is bound to gain an advantage over his
causes are not lost on the desert air, but
have their effects. which generally accrue
to the profit of the man who thinks and
acts. If something happens to you that
has the appearance of ill luck. do not be
too easily influenced but get out your chart
give the wheel q turn and steer in some
other direction.

tween Old and New Flour, buy loaf of

Foster was confident his promising colt
could win the Brooklyn and backed him so

from 70 to 90 to that his total winnings,
together with the $4,000 won in the race,
were about sSO,OO0. Foster is a good son

The selectmen should see that the law
in regard to licensing dogs is thoroughly
enforced this year. There are hundreds
of worthless ours in town that can well be
spared. We should realize several thou
sand dollars from this source and in these
times every dollar due the town should be
collected. The number of people evadlng
or violating the statutes relating to keeping
unregistered dogs is unusually large this
year; either that or the dog population IS
decreasing, because not SO many as in for
mer years have called at the town clerk s
office to settle. The old scheme of hiding
dogs in cellars until the time for registra-
ton is passed is being practiced.
MUCH of the present distress in Water
burp may be relieved now that a special
appropriation has been made for work on
roads not under contract. But the select
men must remember that the taxpayers
expect fair return for their money. Last
winter men were employed on the Manga
tuck turnpike many of whom openly
boosted that they we're enjoying snap.
Some of those who received employment
on the job were faithful and honest, while
others were bummers and loafers who
gave no adequate return in labor for the
wages received. AS a result. good judges
tell us, it cost $40, 900 to do about five
thousand dollars worth of work. The Sc
lectmen should profit by that experience
and in employing men discriminate
against those who are not willing to do
what is right.

A. IL. U. on Capitol steps.

A remarkable meeting was held
on the state-house steps last Friday
night.
1t was under the call of the local
order of the A R. u, and over 81
600 people came out, and for over
two hours listened to speeches on
the situation.
The meeting was addressed by
j. w. Lyon, of Emroria, the con-
ductor who refused to conduct a
train that had Pullman cars attach
ed. He was followed by Colonel
Close, G. G. Clemens, and Frank
Forrest, who all made characteristic
speeches that were frequently APP
plauded.
Two months ago, such meeting
would have been an impossibility in
Topeka. A crowd of this kind
could not have been gotten out, nor
would they have listened to the
speakers they so heartily applauded
Friday night. The strike is break
ing down long-standing prejudices
very fast, and the Peoples party is
getting the benefit of it.-Ottawa

We in suffering, they in crime,
Wait the just award of time.
Wait the vengeance that is due.
Not in vain heart shall break,
Not tear for freedoms sake
Falls undecided is true!
While the flag with stars bedecked
Threatens where it should protect,
And the law shakes hands with
crime,
What is left us but to wait
Match our patience to our fate,
And abide the better time ?
Patience, friends, the human heart
Everywhere shall take our part,
Everywhere for us shall pray
On our side are natures laws
And Gods life is in the cause
That we suffer for 20 day.
Well to suffer is divine
Pass the watchwolk down the line,
Pass the counterslgn, EN-
dure !"

But to him who nobly bears,
Is the victor's garland sure.

Mrs. Mary E. Lease and the state
board of charities passed through
Ottawa, to day, en- route to Topeka
from Osawatomie. Mrs. Lease is
not entirely recovered from her late
serious illness, but she is marching
rapidly toward good health. Mrs.
Lease has lost none of her enthusi-
asm in the peoples cause, and will
soon be in the campaign to strike
telling blows for the right. In re-
ply to a question as to prohibition,
she said: II am more than that
am an abolitionist. b." She said she
would try and make date for an
address at Ottawa soon. In regard
TO the strike, she said ~"This battle
means the death to organized labor
or organized monopoly" About
the preachers she says: "They
have been preaching for thirty years
to keep the people out of hell
Now" said she, "they must turn
round and try TO keep hell out of
the people" If any one imagines
that Mrs. Lease is not and will not
be in the battle, they may as well
undeceive themselver now. She
has more vim, more energy, more
enthusiasm, and sees more hope
full outlook for the right than ever.
She is better qualified now for her
part in the great strife. The Kansas

WASHINGTON D. c., July 6.-The
bill for the state taxation of green
backs occupied the attention Of the
house all day, and it was passed by
very large majority.
Thus it is that another Infamous
crime has been committed by the
Democratic majority in the house
against the poor for the benefit Of
the rich the rich man that holds
government obligation that draws
interest, and therefore is at premium
above par, cannot be taxed, but the
poor man who has a greenback dol
lar in his pocket must be robbed of
part of that to pay interest on
the rich mans bonds. But that
is not the worst of it. The real in
tention of the bill is more damnable
still. The real purpose is to tax
the 1916, 100000 of greenbacks re-
naming out of existence so that
they will be presented at the gov
eminent treasury for gold. AS the
gold is withdrawn from the treasury,
be nds will be issued to get it back.
So on again and again till all the
greenbacks are taken in. Thus the
Democratic party will be able to
put another double curse upon the
country. Taking in the greenbacks
will contract the money, S346, OOO,-
600 to make the times that much
harder, and on top of that add to
this burden of an equal amount of
bonds with which to rob this gener-
alton and those yet unborn. -Peo-

The Wall of an Anti-Suffragist.

The Wall of an Anti-Suffragist.
Everything seems going the way
the Pops would have it go. Even a
number of Republican editors OF
Kansas are standing by the princi-
pal plank in the Pop platform, which,
if indorsed, certainly and securely
makes that party dominant in the
state for years to come. A majority
of the Republican women and ma
iurity of the Democratic women will
not vote though enfranchlsed every
day in the year, while every Popu-
list woman and all that class OF wo
men who sympathize with their So
cialistic and revolutionary notions
would vote every day in the year il
they were but afforded the chance.
If the Republican party is in favor
of female suffrage, the leaders should
have put it in the platform. If Re-
publican editors and the nominees
of the party are going to advocate
the measure, then better re-convene
the convention, and, by endorsing it,
save what they can from the wreck
which the Pop party will make Of
the Republican party with its big,
solid woman contingent With fe-
male suffrage once the law, and there
is not single county in Kansas
which the Populists will fail of car
rying, Shawnee excepted, and that
county not excepted if the Santa Fe
shop forces are kept up to the maxi
mum.
The average woman female suf-
fragist will support the Pop party,
the third party Prohibitionists, or
any new tangled and extreme move
ment, in preference to either of the
old parties The editors and nomi-
nees referred to probably do no see
It, nor the state central committee
understand it, yet, all the same, the
triumph of the Pop plank will be the
signal for the decadence and extinc-
ton of the Republican party in Kan
sas, as such, with only possible
eventuality left them of dropping
everything else save their protection
theory and going over in body to
the third party Prohibitionists. The
central committee will please paste
this in their campaign scrap book,
and the nominees and leaders refer
red to stick it under the bands of
their bonnets. Wichita Eagle.
