year the firm cleared ffty-eight
| thousand dollars. Mr.. Andrews
the next year sold one fourth
interest to A. A. Freeman of New
York.
The new management fiourished
for time. The Mills turned out
the "Patent" -four in which the
profit was large. This encouraged
the enlargement of the mill to the
present size, and the seeking OF
new markets for the flour. Pro-
fits for time continued to be
large and the business remuner-
alive, but the numerous Touring
mills farther west deprecated the
price of -four and it became appar-
ent that the milling interest had
seen it's best days. Messrs. For
tune and Andrews then sold out
their interests to Mr.. freeman and
a new firm was organized
known as Freeman and Ruy ter.
New machinery was then put in
ut an enormous expense and the
steady decline In the price Of flour
resulted III making the mill un.
profta BILE. Mr.. Freeman failed
ind Mr.. Ruyter closed the mill
and let it GO to decay. Law suits
arose in various ways and for a
time the taxes upon the propert
were hard to coll ct. Various
.st1mates from seventy-tive t.
! hundred thousand dollars arr
made upon the value of the pro-
perty at the closing down of the
mill, as much of the machinery
was new and all of it in good con-
lition. At the time Of the fire it
is safe to say that the property
represented an investment Of fifty
thousand dollars.
Now that the mills are burned
it leaves a splendid water power
vacant which can be utilized IN
some paying industry. The real
losers in the fire, was the Charles
Halght estate of New York.

A Big Blaze.
The Great junction Mills Go Up
In Smoke.
Many Thousand Dollars Worth OF Prop.
erty Destroyed in a Night.

The quiet slumbers of our citi-
zens were disturbed Friday night
by the alarm of fire. The people
rushed upon the streets to learn
that the great junction Mills,
once the pride of the city. were
burning. The fire alarm was
turned in about midnight but the
fire was beyond control at the
time and the only hope was to
save surro, ding property. The
blaze illuminated the whole city
and the sight was magnificent.
The heat from the colossal
structure was intense and the
buildings in close proximity being
in danger the fremen directed all
their attention and energies to the
saving of these buildings. The
large warehouse, some two huu-
dred feet away, was soon blazing
at several points and the great
distance of the nearest hydrant
lessened the force of the water
power so much as to make it i'm
possible to throw stream over
the roof. The fremen, however,
worked heroically against diSad-
vantages and the intense heat, and
finally succeeded in saving the
warehouse and many other build
ings which would have burned
with the burning OF the w"re-
house.
Two line of hose, nearly one
thousand feet in length each,
were attached to the same hyd-
rant, which so weakened the force
of the water that it was deemed
best to use but one line. The
firemen worked increasingly, not
so much to save the old ware.
house. but to save the other prop
erty near it, and the boys deserve
great credit for their efforts.
Meanwhile the old mill was
rapidly going to pieces. The vast
structure that once was the scene
of daily activity, giving employ
ment to large numbers of men
and turning out hundreds of bar
rels of -four, giving market to
thousands of bushels of wheat
daily, was soon to be a mass of
shapeless ruins. The old smoke
stack, once accustomed to the
belching forth of SIN oke and fame
in token of the activity within,
and the turning Of thousand
wheels and belts, not fully real
izlng the situation but no doubt
thinking that after so many years
of idleness the heat was but the
reminding of the fires of industry
again sent up a volume of smoke
reminding the citizens of River
Falls of the good old days of THEN
former prosperity. The thought
brought tear of regret to many
eyes as the beholders looked upon
the downfall of the old mill.
The curse of an indignant people
rests upon the originator of the
fire, as the destruction of tie
property was caused by incendiar'
ism, either Intentionally or accl.

the DeC0Y DUCKS,

Very de-coy duck that Dame! Oh, what
a farce! These people are supporting
Palmer, they say. Let's see what Palmer
thought of the free coinage proposition
in 1873.
Is it not a curious coincidence that
both Mckinley and Palmer, who are run
ming on gold platforms now, were for
merly most outspoken as advocates of
free coinage?
McKinley's record in favor of free
coinage is we'll Known. That of General
Palmer is coming to light. On March IL,
1878, he wrote letter to George Baber,
which was published in the Louisville
(Ky.) News on March 10, 1878, and later
in the Illinois State Register, whose col
umns were at that time under General
Pamer's control, in which he said on
that question:
"My financial theories demand the free
coinage of both gold and silver by the
United States, and the divorce of con-
gress and the treasury from the control
of currency"
Brer's Childers and Dame will find that
"Jordan is hard road to travel" before
they get through with this cam paign. All,
and even after they get through with it!
Get in, gentlemen, and do your worst!

We were delighted to learn from our
dispatches yesterday afternoon that
warrant had been sworn out for the ar
rest of d. Crawford, head of the we'll
known dry goods house of Crawford &
Co., st. Louis, charging him with felony
under the laws of Missouri in attempting
to intimidate voters by discharging
twelve of his clerks, who had declared
their intention to vote for Bryan and sill
yer. We sincerely hope that the case
against Crawford will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law. We also beg
leave again to suggest to the people of
New Mexico, who have been in the habit
of sending orders to Crawford & Co., that
they too have an excellent chance to pun
ish this high-handed effort to coerce vot-
ers in the interest of a British system of
finance. Send no more orders to Craw-
ford & Co.

CATRON'S FOOL FRIENDS.

that the article would appear in the Citi-
zen few hours after Mr.. Catron arrived
in town. OF course, the natural inference
to be drawn is that Mr.. Catron had pre-
prepared the article and handed 1t to the
Citizen-and that wouldn't help Catron a
little bit with honest folk! Mr.. Catron
had best look after his fool-friends.

DEMOCRACY ON WOOL AND OTHER INDUSTRIES.

"We hold that tariff duties should be
levied for purposes of revenue, such
duties to be so adjusted as to operate
equally throughout the country and
not to discriminate between class or
section and that taxation should be
limited by the needs Of the govern
ment honestly and economically ad-
ministered.
I'VE denounce as disturbing to bust
ness the Republican threat to restore
the Mckinley law, which has been
twice condemned by the people in ma
tional elections and which, enacted
under the false plea of protection to
home industry, proved prolific
breeder Of trusts and monopolies; en-
riched the few at the expense of the
many; restricted trade and deprived
producers of the great American
staples of access to their natural
markets."-National Democratic Plat
form, 1895.
I'VE iudorse every sentence of the
Chicago platform and declare that we
believe it to be the best expression of
Democratic faith ever emanating
from an assembly of Democrats, and,
while thus indorsing and adopting
the Chicago platform, we desire par
ticularly to express our gratitude to
the members Of that convention for
those portions of that platform which.
without equivocation, and in Ian
guage which can not be misunder-
stood, favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16 to

any other nation, and which declare
for tariff for revenue with duties so
adjusted as to operate equally

eliminating between class or section.
