n. Olmstead of Hama Completely
Burned Out Tuesday.
N. Olmstead, the postmaster at Ha-
ma, Maui, arrived on the Likelike Sun
day morning, and his friends were
very sorry to hear of misfortune that
occurred to him last Tuesday morning
when his store and buildings of his
own, in the same locality, were burned
to the ground.
Mr.. Olmstead spoke as follows to an
Advertiser reporter regarding the af-
fair last night:
about $3.50 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing the alarm of fire was given, and
when we arrived at the store we found
that the cottage adjoining was e1vel-
oped in flames. All efforts to save any
thing proved futile. In addition to
these two buildings, there was store
room to the rear, new cottage about
to be occupied as a central telephone
office, and another cottage 1t was not
long before these, too, were a mass of
flames.
"The post office was in connection
with my general merchandise store.
Luckily the mail had just been sent
out, and no steamers had arrived.
How the fire started has not been
'ascertained. Neither has the fact
whether it had it's origin in the store
or the cottage been ascertained.
Absolutely nothing was saved. The
insurance will only partly cover the
loss. An estimate of the loss will be
made today"

about the project.
The talk of the coffee and sugar dis
trict was that the enterprise was forced
on the Arbuckles by rivalry in the cof-
fee business. Another incentive to the
firms resolve was the expiration next
spring of the patent on the machine
used in packing coffee. This device
will then be free to all coffee millers.

MIGHT MAKE A COMBINE
By Which A. II. Ellis Could Secure
Election
IN CONGRESSMAN BAKERS DISTRICT.

Republicans Said to BE Promised to
GiIkesOm for Appellate Judge, Pro-
vided Democrats VIII Vote for Ellis
for Congress.
Anything to beat the Populists," is to
be the Republican campaign cry in the
Sixth congressional district in the COM
ing campaign according to the latest
political story.
This latest story was brought to Topeka
by Judge A. D. Gilkeson of the western
division of the northern department of
the court of appeals.
Judge Gilkeson is Democrat, but was
appointed to his present position by Gov
ernor Morrill, in accordance with the re-
Quirements of the law creating the court
which provided for the appointment of
Judges from the several political parties.
According to this story Judge Gilkeson
was recently waited on by some promi-
nent Sixth district Republicans who pro-
posed deal whereby they would sup
port linn for reelection.
They proposed that Judge Gilkeson be
a candidate for re- election and that he
would receive the support of all the Re-
publicans in the district providing he
would deliver the Democratic votes in
the Sixth district to A. II. Ellis the Re-
publican slate candidate for congress.
Judge Gilkeson was assured that there
would be no trouble about Ellis being
nominated for congress if he ould but
enter into the scheme to help elect him.
Judge Gilkeson is anxious to be
elected to the court of appeals judgeship,
but he did not give a definite answer to
the proposition for a Democratic Repub-
lican fusion to bring that about.
Ellis only lacked 1914 votes of being
elected to congress from that district two
II
date received 1884 votes, he no doubt
now believes that il he could make
conf alton of that kind with Judge
Gilkeson his election would be assured.
There are about half dozen talked of
candidates for the Populist nomination
for congress in the Sixth district, but the
men who are best acquainted with the
workings of the party believe that Con-
gresham William Baker will be renomi-
mated.

it would be a saving to the county to
have Williams out supporting his family.
1t might be said here that it would be
equally economical to the state to empty
the penitentiary.
Guard Kuykendall of the rock pile
says Williams is the best worker he has,
and thinks he could earn a good liveli-
hood if released. He is working out
fine and costs for drunkenness and fight
ing.
It is question as to where the author
ity of county commissioners stops in the
matter of multiplying sentences of the
courts. If the punishment of crime is
worth anything, it is none of the county
commissioners business how much it

for trial for being implicated with three
other colored men in burglarizing Lewis

three pleaded guilty aud are now in the
penitentiary, but before they went they
all said that Gilkie was guiltless. The

The county has had to keep Gilkie's
