While the Family Is Away From Home
The dwelling at ia Buchanan street
belonging to Andrew Nordquist was al.
most destroyed by fire at 4 o'clock this
morning. The family was at Usage City
and the house was left in charge of Geo.
Eckle. He was down on the streets last
evening and the rain prevented him from
getting home, so there was no one ia the
house when the fire started.
A neighbor was awakened by q bright
light in the basement of the Nordquist
house and had hardly got down stairs IN
til the flames burst through the side of
the house. The alarm was sent in as
soon as possible and the department ar
rived in time to save part of the build

POpulists VIII Meet in September to
Nominate Chief Justice.
There was to have been a meeting of
the Populist state central committee in
Topeka last evening, but a majority of
the mem bers of the committee failed to
arrive, and but little business was trans
acted.
Chairman Breidenthal says two mem
bers of the committee were detained at
home by sickness in their families, and
Rufe Cone was probably looking after
his candidacy for sheriff of Sedgwick
county.
There was bare quorum present and
the meeting adjourned to meet at the
call Of the chairman.
The members present decided that
they would not have authority to put
candidate for chief justice on their ticket
and that a convention must be called for
that purpose.
Chairman Breidenthal will call the
committee together again within the
next thirty days and at that time a state
convention will be called.
1t is thought by those in authority that
the Populist state convention will be
held about the middle of September

the saloons and joints here.
Thu committee appointed at the recent
mass meeting to act for the people in
closing up the joints, is collecting evil
dence against them. Prof Topper, the
head of the Academy here, is tho chair
man. Eli Mozer, prominent in the Tur-

statement at the Law and Order mass
meeting. He said:
Every drug store in this town sells
liquor and you men know it. l, myself,
paid one of them bill of $50 at one
time. l have been a tax payer here
since '64 and know the ms and outs of
the whisky business. When you have
had an investigation 1 have always been
slighted. 1t was understood that l was
not to be asked any questions,
for they knew 1 would tell the
truth. When you put me on
the stand in the Turner hall case
told things just as they were. The
trouble is you don't want to enforce the
law. But when men plead guilty you
sign a petition to the governor asking
for their pardon"

under trees and into street cars. There
ought to be some kind of building at
Garfield park for such emergencies.
1t is good thing the rain hesitated a
short time after the first burst before 1t
settled down in earnest because the in
terval of half an hour gave folks an OPP
portunltv to get home-or under cover.
The fireworks will be given at the
band concert next Friday night. There
will be no concert tonight
The specially concert that was to have
been given at Oakland park last evening
did not take place.
The specially programme at Vinewood
park was also curtailed considerably on
account of the rain, though there was a
good sized crowd present.
1t was surprisingly quiet day. After
II o'clock there was very little noise on
the streets. The oldest inhabitant said it
was the quietest Fourth of July he had
seen for many year.

burned slowly but surely. A large num-

Sake of Accuracy.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-As the result Of
exhaustive experiments in actual firing
the ordnance bureau of the navy has
determined to reduce the weight and
length of the ball for the new rife from
135 grains to 112 grains. The firing tests
have shown conclusively that the lighter
ball is much more accurate than the pres
ent ball and contains other important ad-
vantages which will be realized by the
change.
The ordnance bureau has also de-
termined finally to make the barrel of
the new rife of nickel steel, which will
be distinct step in advance for the
United States in gun making.
