An Invitation.

Every one is invited, when in
town, to call on US and give us
news items. The utmost en-
deavor will be made from this
on, to have the columns of the
REPoRT replete with the latest
and most accurate local news
obtainable. While our re
portorial staff is numerically re
spectable, it is not omniscient
nor onmipresent, and consequent
ly does not quite represent the
sum total Of human knowledge,
nor does railways delineate every
local happening Of public inter
est.
Every person, who has heard
something of general interest,
can, with very little trouble to
himself, when in town, drop in
to our "holy OF holies," and un-
burden himself to his hearts
content, and to our journalistic
psychical apparatus edifcation.
We will appreciate it.
Gathering and preparing
news for publications. is not, as
some may imagine, the "softest
snap in the world.' Neither
does it come, Aeolian like, on
the invisible wings OF the wind,
bat, like everything else worth
striving for, must be obtained by
patient and laborious effort.
The true mission Of the local
paper is primarily as IN expo
nent OF all matters Of interest
occurring in its own immediate
environment, and secondarily to
encourage and foster home in
1 dnstries; to call the attention Of
neighboring communities to the
inherent elements Of prosperity
to be found in its territory; to
literally commend the praise
worthy; to candidly criticise the
corrupt. and to eYerlastirgly
vivisect that most execrable of
all Gods creations, the dead
beat. OF course this is but a
portion OF the principles which
should guide the journalistic
boat, but we believe they are
cardinal, and avow our intention
of conducting the REPORT in the
shadow of their wings.
Gan honest man is the noblest
work of God" We believe this
to be true, literally true. The
author Of the above might have
added with consistency: all liars
are blood relation ofSatan. The
ne wspaper man, who knowingly
praises the vicious or corrupt
most certainly should be classi
fed with Beelzebub's innumer
able hosts. We believe in thu

PACKING PLANT BURNED

Fire in Her History.
Reid Bros Immense Packing House En-
tireIy COnsumed-The Loss Over One
Million-Hundreds Thrown
Out OF Work.
Destructive Kansas City Fire.


KANSAS CITY, Kan, March 25.-The
most destructive fire in the history of
Kansas City broke out at Gas o'clock
last night in Reid Bros big packing
house in Armourdale. OF all that mag
nificent plant, covering fifteen acres of
ground and valued with its contents at
81, ,OOO, 900, only three buildings were
saved. Eleven buildings were de-
stroyed and the loss will probably ag-
gregate considerably over 81, 600. 900.
The cause of the fire is not de efinitely
known, but is said to have been an ex-
plosion of dust in the fertilizer works,
which formed part of the mammoth
hog building" in which the flames
were first discoverel The fire swept
over the plant with terrific rapidity,
licking up the fat and grease-saturated
structures like famished monster.
The fire departments of both Kansas
Citys, Armour Packing Co, the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway and the Reid
Bros own company united in fighting
the flames, but owing partly to the poor
head of water and partly To the inflam-
mable nature of the buillings' contents,
they were abe to accomplish but
little, and even that only by the hard
est and pluckies. of fighting. After
three hours of steady combat the
fremen gave up to the flames.
The immense brick storage building.

SlOO, 900 worth of picked meats in the

Thrifty Congressman.
WASHINGTON. March 23.-Secretary
Morton, before he leaves the sgricul-
tural department, intends to abolish
rs far as possible the free distribution
of seed. He says this business has
been SO much abused that it has be-
come an evil instead Of n benefit and
he intends to put stop to it. His next
annual report to congress will contain
names of several congressman who
have actually sold their quota Of seeds
for q monetary confederation. II has
been common practice for members
from large cities to exchange their
quota Of seed with their colleagues
who represent agricultural districts,
but the fact has just been brought to
Light that an extensive business has
been carried on by brokers who dispose
of seed for members OF congress. Sec
retary Morton, however, has caught
one member ia q trap. but who this
member il will not be known until the
secrstary's annual report Is made pub
lie. Some officials Of the agricultural
department say he Is from Tennessee.
while others maintain that he repre-
sents New York city district. lie

dorsed ana cashed. This check was
turned over TO the secretary by the al
legged broker, who was n special agent
of the department, and Mr.. Morton
now has both the order of the con yress-
| man for the seed and the indorsed
check in payment for them. The sig
| natures are identical. This whole mat
ter will be printed In the secretary's
report.
Secretary Morton also says that he
could have purchased recently. from q
secondhand book dealer in this city,
the quota allowed to three members of
congress for $3.50 each. Besides these.
he says he has the names of proba ably
100 members of congress who have
| given orders for the transfer of their
entire quotas of seed. or . great por-
ton of them, to other persons. Some
Of them are probably in exchange for
patent office reports and other govern
ment publications, according to the
constituency of tho respective mem
bers. He will print all of these names
in his next annual report, in order
that the practice prevailing may be
shown to the public. The last agricul.
tural appropriation bill provided for

fiscal year of 1895, $50, 900 of which Is

CHICAGO, March a7.-A special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
The subject of foreign relations occu-

of the president and his cabinet yester-
day. The chief subject discussed at the
regular cabinet meeting was the valid
ity of the law creating the monetary
commission. The fact that the attor-
ney-general was absent, engaged in
the Debs case in the supreme court, de-
tracted somewhat from the interest Of
tho discussion. The president is in
clined to the opinion that the Wolcott

strong probability that he may
refuse to appoint the three COM
