A BIG MEETING,

Judge Henry Fink, of Milwaukee,
addressed a large audience at Good
Thunder Friday, in the German
language. The hall was crowded, and
numerous Germans who have always
been Democrats announced that they
would vote the ticket of sound money
straight this year, from president to
county commissioner. Judge Fink is
a splendid speaker, and expressed
himself as greatly pleased with the
feeling shown at Good Thunder and
at the temple school house in Pleasant
Mound, where he addressed large
audience the night before.

and Corporal Tanner.
A Vast Audience Votes Almost
Unanimously Aginst Cheap,
Deprecated Money.

The reception committee of the
Mckinley Sound Money club joined
the Gen. Alger party at Kasota
Saturday and accompanied it to the
city. The train pulled into the depot
about fifteen minutes ahead of the
schedule time, but large crowd of
people had already gathered and stood
eager to see and hear the distinguish
ed generals of the late war who were
to speak. The party consisted of Gen.
Alger, Gen. Sickles, Gen. Howard,
Corporal Tanner and Gen. Stewart
Gen. Sigel being ill and not able to &C.
company the party. Gen. Sickles had
has son and daughter with him. At

Gen. Baker, chairman of the COM
mittee, acted as spokesman, and in
PRODUCED the various speakers in his
usual entertaining and happy vein.
The audience numbered fully two
thousand, despite the muddy condi-
tion of the streets and the threaten
ing clouds.
A platform had been erected at the
south end of the freight depot from
which the speeches were made. At
precisely 11:30 o'clock, the first
speaker began and the train pulled
out for Lake Crystal at 1915.

GEO. RICE ARRESTED.
He Was From rIankato, and is Claimed
to be Bad rlan.

George Rice, claimed to be coun-
terfeiter, burglar, jail breaker, and all
around bad man, with an acquaintance
in police circles throughout the North
west extending over twenty years or
more, ran up against the strong arm
of the law at Minneapolis Wednesday
night, and his name is inscribed on
the record book at the Central station.
Rice has been working in Mankato
for four months, as conductor on a
work train on the Omaha improve
ments, under Winston Bros. contract.
He familiarized himself with Judge
Shissler's court on three occasions,
once for drunk, once for disOrderly,
and once on some other charge. Offic-
er Daniels took him in one night,
when Mr.. Kruse reported that he
tried the windows and doors of COM
plainant's house. The police are now
wondering whether Rice was engaged
in the burglaries in this city some
time ago.
1t is stated that Rice was arrested
two years ago in Minneapolis as a
member of the Ollinger counterfeit
ing gang, but was acquitted. He is
said to have been the leader of one of
the attempts at wholesale Jail de-
livery when Harry Hayward was a
fellow prisoner. Shortly afterwards,
he and others were arrested at Phil
lips, Wis, for attempted burglary, but
broke out of Jail. In August, 1895, he
was arrested, but made a daring es-
cape from the Minneapolis jail. He
is now held on the Phillips charge.

Gen. SickIeS,

Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, of New
York, opened by saying that three of
the party only had two legs between
them, but all stood on platform that
had two legs to stand on. This great
audience will believe that we are
honest in our purpose and sincere in
what we say to you. We are not
here for any political advantages, but
are here in the west to bring good
tidings and fraternal greeting from
the east. l am Democrat, and my
father and grandfather were before
me. In 1861, my father would not al
low jeff Davis to build plat
form for him or me, and
told me to go to the war and help put
down those who would divide the
north from the south. Still following
the old gentleman's injunction, 1 have
come to the west to protest against
those who would divide the west from
the east. In the east we love
not only the west, but those of
our former adversaries in the
south who stand up to rebuke those in
the west who try to revive the old,
burned-out fires of sectionalism.
Others are here today-Gen. Howard,
who comes with an empty sleeve as
his badge of honor nobly won in the
service of his country-all are divided
in politics, but in this hour we are
one.
You raise good crop of rocks here

Peter founded church on rock, and

like to sell your stone at good prices
and to have your laboring men re-
ceive good wages. 1t is the same
thing east and west. You don't want
% cent dollars, with At cents worth of
wind in them. You want honest
money. The west has largely devel-
oped and built up on the money bor-
roWeu, inspired by credit, straight
and honest dealing.

r esulted From Terrible Scramble in
TrOy's Factory Fire.

Troy, N. ", Feb. 19.-What seems al
most a miracle In connection with the
disastrous confagration In this city Mon.
day night Is the fact now made evident
that the loss OF life Is no greater than was
given out yesterday.
Tho list 81 three killed and Is wounded
Is verified and the miracle appears In the
fact that those noted as missing have re-
ported, and ont OF the $50 human beings
who crushed and struggled for life In the
famo-bound building but three fatal end
ings came. The names of those who were
killed are Mrs. Catherine Kane, Mrs. Mar
garet Carroll and Mrs. Johanna Doyle.
The dramatic incident OF yesterday 90
Cured about noon, when n member OF tho
firm OF Stetheimer az Co. began calling
the roll OF ,employes 10 find the missing.
Pale-faced women, nervous with the shock
of Monday night, stood in rows before tho
caller of the roll. As the call proceeded
the answers came readily, and there were
looks Of relief upon the faces. When the
names OF the dead women were reached
Mrs Carroll, Mrs. Carr and Mrs. Foley
there were sobs and tears.
When the call was completed seven alb
sentees were noted, and emissaries were
sent out 20 find them, the apprehension in
the meantime growing into settled be.
lief that they were In the building. BY 5
o'clock last night all had been located,
and police and flremen are alike In their
wonder as TO how the great mass Of hui
manity escaped
Heroic Deeds.
There were many acts Of heroism re.
corded yesterday Nellie and Lottie Hull
were working on the sixth floor Of the
collar shop when startled by the cry OF
fire. The girls rushed toward the front OF
the building, but were driven back by
smoke and flames. Blinded by smoke,
and with their faces singed, they ran to
the back OF the building, which Is several
stories from the alley. AS they were about
TO throw themselves from the windows,
Charles Jefferson dragged the girls back
and hustled them toward doorway. In
n few moments the girls gained a stair.
way and reached the ground In safety. In
his efforts to cave the girls jefferson was
slightly burnS.
During the panic, Rev. Michael Fogarty
ran up stairs and attempted To cheer the
girls with encouraging words He gath.
cred a number of women around him and
led them safely from the burning building.
Insurance men estimate the loss on tho
Burdett building and contents at moro
than 100000 The loss on the building Is
estimated at fully $4,000, on which there
is S27, 800 insurance.
Where stood one OF the finest business
blocks in the city, are gloomy, shattered
brick wals, coated with ice, street
strewn with fallen brick, an almost illim-
liable network of telegraph, telephone and
electric wires, and sidewalks covered with
ice. as II river of water had flowed
through the streets.

the commission was left in existence with
13i plans on its hands and power to do
nothing. All the plans were sent in an
