Friday evening.
COe |. Crawford,
At St. Lawrence on Saturday
night. Everybody invited.

Fire was discovered last Friday
morning in the Gazette building, and
a very few moments brought the
fire department and the entire town
out. By rapid work OF the fire de-
partment with plenty OF water, the
fire was soon under control, and
what at one time was expected to be
a considerable confiagration was
confined to the inside of the building.
The fire originated in the upper story
or dwelling rooms of Mr.. Sweetland
above the Gazette Office, catching
from a stove pipe. A great deal OF
furniture, clothing, bedding etc, walls
partly burned and damaged by
smoke and water. Unfortunately
there was no insurance, although
the misfortune vas partly overcome
by a very generous subscription
raised. The fire boys did good work
and once more illustrated the bene-
fits of w%aterworks and a depart
ment.

ONE LESS VOTE FOR BRYAN.
". n. Linton, a Kansas Elector Sail
to be Not Qualified to Act.

". II. Linton, Kansas Elector, said
to He Not Qunlified to Act.
From the New York Herlh.
KANSAS CITY. Kan. December e7. 1894
Kansas is entitled to ten votes in the
electoral college, but IT. is very likely she
VIII cast only nine for w. ]. Bryan. owing
to the fact that W. H. Linton, one of the
electors. Is an alleged deserter from the
Union army, and. therefore; not qualified
to serve.
The constitution of Kansas, as well az
the laws of the United States, prevent a
deserter from voting or holding Office, un-
less the disability has been removed by
legislative enactment. approved by the Sec
retary OF War. and in the case Of the KAN
sas elector, 1t is stated, the disability still
stands.
w. H. Linton of Cherry Vale was one
OF the fusion electoral candidates in Kan
sas, having been nominated by the demo-
Gratis and indorsed by the populists and
s;iverites. After he had received his GER
tincate OF election investigation showed
that he deserted from the 32d Ohio Volun-
teer Infantry in Louisville, KY, in 1865
and steps are to be taken to prevent him
from serving. The records in the office Of
the adjutant general Of Ohio contain this
record:
William H. Linton, entered service No
vember %. 1854; age twenty-two; substi-
1865
Mr.. Linton refuses to be interviewed con-
corning this charge Of desertion, but vir-
tually admits its correctness. Leading at
torneys in Kansas and Washington say
ord will prevent him from serving as an
elector

WESTON'S GREAT FEAT. &.
Although Fifty-Eixht Years Old. He
Walked Over 100 Miles In "a Hours.

Although Fifty-Eight Years Old, He
Walked Over 100 Miles In - Hours.
Edward P. Weston. the old-time pedes-
trian, who undertook TO walk H. miles in
twenty-four hours. as he did thirty years
ago. failed to accomplish his task but
nevertheless did perform remarkable
feat, in walking 1O3 miles = laps in that
time. Few men OF his age, fifty-eight
years, can do the same feat. The veteran
was going like a well-regulated machine at
pm, being four miles ahead Of his sched-
uie, with every prospect OF covering a
greater distance by several miles than he
had set out to tramp. Within fifteen min
utes. however. his wonderful strength fall
tered. dizziness overpowered him. and he
was assisted from the track as weak as a
baby. Ready hands worked over him un-
der DR.. Taylor's direction, and soon the
wonderful old man was up again and ask
ing what it was all about.
Within half an hour he was eager to start
again, but DR.. Taylor restrained him, and
1t was not until after fifty minutes had
passed that he was allowed to continue his
journey. He then appeared somewhat dis
couraged, but. cheered on by numerous
friends, he soon struck his old-time gait
and save for another stop of twenty-five
minutes. kept braveIy up to the end.
In the closing minutes Of his self-imposed
task he walked with surprising strength
making his one hundredth mile. for in
stance in IL minutes and ~ seconds.
At 9:o6:3O DR.. Taylor, who acted as the
walkers adviser in all of his famous
tramps. endeayored to have him stop, but
he covered an extra lap before the big ply
sician could head him off, The extra lap
was not counted in the score the time hay
Ing been taken when the doctor gave the
word.
During the % hours 56Ls minutes that the
contest lasted, Weston was off the track
but l hour and 45 minutes. BY way Of
comparison. 1t is only necessary to cite the
fact that twenty-siX years ago last May he
walked 100 miles In New York in u hours
and 30 minutes.
