Serious Fire at Reading, Kansas.

EMPoR1A, Kan, May lathe town
of Reading, fifteen miles northeast of
this city, came near being entirely de-
stroyed by fire yesterday morning
about 2 o'clock. Fire was first dis
covered in the Masonic lodge building
and in a few minutes it was a mass Of
flames. The wind was blowing a gale,
and it was only by the entire popuia-
zion turning out and fighting the fire
that the town was saved. The Bap-
list church, the residence of j. Jacob
and the school house were all dam
aged, but the only building totally
destroyed was the lodge building, oc-
cupled by j. M. Stratton as a general
store and also as a printing office.
Tramps are supposed to have set the
IRE.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-. May l4.-The
Republican convention selected the
our delegates-at-large to the st.
louis convention after 3 o'clock this
morning. They are Major William
Warner. of Kansas City; Chauncey L.
Filley, of st. Louis; F. G. Neidring-
haus, of ST Louis, and J. ii. Boutwell,
of Sedalia.
The convention was in session all
night, beginning at l0:45, when the
delayed report of the credentials com
mittee was received. Business was
pushed thereafter, but it was not un.
til daylight that the last delegate had
been elected and the convention was
ready to adjourn.
There unquestionably never was
such a dramatic scene before in a Mis-
souri, state convention as when, at 8
o'clock this morning, Major William
Warner of Kansas City stampeded the
Republican convention at st. Joseph
and was elected unanimously as a del
egate-at-large to the national conven.
ton at st. Louis.
moment before Major Warner ap-
peared on the stage there was not a
delegate in the hall that thought he
had a ghost Of a show Of being elected.
Filley had fixed up the slate which
was to be elected and Warmers name
was not on it.
The plan was to elect Filley first by
reclamation and then elect Exon
gresham Niedringhaus of St. Louis,
J. II. Boutwell, of Sedalia and Mayor
Jones of Kansas City in the order
named. Nobody doubted that this
program would be carried out to the
letter.
Webster Davis and the Kansas City
delegates jumped on Warner when
they placed Jones name in nomination
and the Major retaliated very warmly
afterward.

the glass SO that the drinker gets a
