HORSES FOUND STILL HARNESSED.
 was a part was licked up. A wagon in which n family was fleeing for safety lost one wheel only by fire, and the horses were found still harncSSed after it was all over. while the fugitiveS who fled from the vehicle when il began to blaze were lost. They took refuge in n neighboriug water hole and were smOth- cred, aS were so many others If these had remained by their wagon. they would probably have been saved
 The forest fires of 1871. the year of the great Chicago fire, were as wide spread and aS terrible in their grandeur as those of 10 years later. but they did nothing like aS much damage. because they were not located in such thickly settled regions. IL has been claimed that the loss of life was greater. but as to that it Is hardly possible to speak with certainty. IL .lust always indeed be difficult to accurately estimate in such cases either as to life or property, for the burned over regions are always re- mote. and many lives are lost of which the world never learns The response of the charitable to the appeals of the suffering both years was instantaneous and liberal to n degree In 1881 the Red Crcss society. under the direction of that good woman, Clara Barton. served the nation admirably as n me dium for the distribution of the peoples givings. as it has always in such times ever since its organization
 Other years memorable for great for est fires were ISIS, 1854. 1884. 1887 and 1889. None of the fires of the earlier years was so serious as have been those of the later ones for the obvious reason that not so much damage could be done in a new settlement as in an older one, but they entailcd great suffering and hardship nevertheless In 1884 the smoke was carried to great distances without being dissipated. and some very curious effects resulted. The fires were earlier and more prevalent east that year than they have been this year. In May they ragged with great fury in Pennsylvania. and one day the smoke from the burning pine woods of the Keystone State fairly settled down on New York city, making the streets of tho eastern metropolis 50 dark that il

Some there were who lost their lives from exposure and some from drowning. Many who were left alive by the fire died afterward from nervous strain and physical exhaustion, and there were not a few who became insane after their danger was past, as have some who passed through the fires of this year. Nor were there lacking cases of heroism every whit as striking as that displayed by Jim Wood, tho en- gineer of the train that fed from the flames that were destroying Hinckley; but, as Is usually the case, these brave mems names arc mostly preserved only in tho memories of their friends. instead of being held up forever before the world for its admiration.
 Fire always plays queer tricks when it gets beyond human control. and the strange freaks of the blazes of the Michi- gan fires of 1881 were such as would pass belief if they were not vouched for by unimpeachable witnesses In one viii lage that was surrounded by the woods, as was Hinckley. every building but the church and the saloon was destroyed. 4 field of grain was left intact near thu town of western Michigan, though ev

STANDING OUT IN THE LAKE
 bers of families that had remained too long by their homes was pitiable in the extreme. Men who had fondly believed their farms, although surrounded by woods, far enough removed from the seat of danger to be safe were caught in the fields and could not by any manner of means get to their houses in time to save their wives and children.
 An appalling number of men caught in this way failed even to save them selyes. Others groped and fought their way home. only to find, in place of the farmhouse and buildings, representing the work perhaps of half lifetime, heaps of smoldering ashes or blazing furnaces of fire Some families, more fortunate, managed to make a start on the road toward safety with wagons laden with such household goods as could be hastily gathered up, only to be overtaken by the greedy flames before they had gone q mile. Wives whose husbands failed to come to their aid hastily gathered their children in their arms and ran to the nearest water. whatever that might be. In more than one instance the fam fly we'll, resorted to as the only place of safety, became q tomb for the refugees. tho fire drawing the air from the depths and the victims suffocating from inhala- tion of mephitic gases.

oS THE ROAD TOWARD SAFETY.
 preaching the fires that have this year laid waste parts of Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin, wiping out Hincklcy. Phillips and other towns, has been suf- fered since the memorable Michigan conflagration of 1881. Even that catas- trophe did not come with such awful suddenness, and it is doubtful if there was as great loss of life.
 It will probably never be known how many lives were lost in the fierce woods blazes of 1881. Some estimates placed the number as high as 1000, while oth- CTS held that 800 would be nearer right. At all events, the experiences of those who were inhabitants of the burned over | district were of the most horrifying na- ture, and the destruction of property was so great as to seriously put back the development of the Badger State. The fires broke out little earlier than this year. Portions of five counties all lying | north of Port Huron and covering a ter ritory 75 miles long, were swept by the flames, but Huron and Sanilac suffered most. There had been n severe drought, extending over q large part of the coun- | try, for weeks. This drought had been worse perhaps in Michigan than else where.
 Here and there small fires broke out during the last weeks of August; but, as the woods had not yet become thor oughly dried, these early blazcs were ex- tinguished without much difficulty, and no great alarm was felt till about Sept. l. By that timo the smoke from the burning forests had spread over nearly every part of the southern peninsula of Michigan and portions of adjoining states and Canada On that day news was received for tho first time that there had been loss of life. Just where it had occurred was not reported, hut the story was not doubted. for the smoke got speedily so thick as to make 1t nee essary to suspend business in some places many miles away from the location O! tho fires. I remember very we'll that desired about that time to 20 from Cleveland to Buffalo by steamer. but was obliged to go by train, because the boats were laid up, pending the lifting of the dinGy pail that ovCrhung th' shallow waters of Lake Erie.

Would it be the blessed saving lain or the scorching. destroying wind?
 The question was answered Sept. : when fierce gale arose, driving tn, flames before it with the speed of an ex press train.

THE true inwardness of the alleged hCp of Senator Jones of Nevada, from the re- publicans to the populists Is now known. It was merely a republican trick. Jones is no more populist than he ever was and his preteEded flop is but the first move in a game which was to have been secret and which has for its final object the nomination and election to the presi- dency of Senator Cameron of Pennsylva- nia. Jones is the father of the Cameron boom and when he found that the sugges- ton was very coldly received by the silver men of the northwest. on account of Cam eron's well known connection with rail road and other corporations. notwithstand- ing the free coinage of silver, which was to be the corner stone of his canvass, he was evolved tie scheme of joining the popu, lists and turning their orgaL ization into a purely silver party, elimenating every. thing else from their platfoTm. and having them endorse the Cameron boom, which I he calculated would induce the republican convention to nominate Cameron on free silver platform. The scheme would noi have had one chance out of possible oat hundred even if it had been kept secret a, intended, but now that it has been ex pos. d it simply has no chance at all. MeI of Don Cameron's calibre have beer elected president, but no man of his asso ciations ever has been or ever will be, al though, of course. he may buy a nomina ton if he will pay the price.

Lors of tomfoolery is being sent out of Washington concerning the alleged dis cord among the democrats who compose the congressional campaign committee. There is no discord in the committee, which is doing all that it was expected to do in the campaign. Secretary Gardner. who is constantly at the committee head quarters, said when asked what he thought of the outlook: ''It all depends upon the tariff bill. Nearly every congressional district in the United States is interested in some way or another in this tariff bill. A paragraph which will please the people in one district will not please those in ad. j ,ining districts. What will suit the voters of an eastern state will not be satis. factory on the Pacific coast.
