RICHMOND, Ind, Oct. 4.-Gen. Russell
A. Alger and his party of campaigning
soldiers arrived here this evening after q
day of enthusiastic ovations in the gas
belt. If Tuesday, the second day of their
campaign in the State, was essentially a
soldiers day, the third day may be re-
garded the day of the farmers and
laboring men, although hundreds of vet
Grams were out to greet the battle-scarred
generals of the war. Early in the day
crowd of ten thousand greeted them at
Anderson and the enthusiasm seemed to in
crease at each succeeding station. At Mar
ion one of the most inspiring receptions
General Alger has met on his entire trip
was accorded. The Journals representa-
tive saw the Bryan crowd at the State
house last week, as did several indianapolis
men who accompanied the train to-day.
Every one who the Bryan demonstra-
ton declared that the crowd at Marion far
that twenty thousand people heard the
speeches al Marion. Muncie, Hartford City
and New Castle were also the scenes of inn
mense demonstrations. AS on the day be-
fore, the arrival of General Alger's party
was the most important incident in a day
that had been set apart for a great out
pouring of Republican enthusiasm. The
great meeting in the big circus tent here
this evening was fitting end TO the day
of successful and tireless efforts of getting
votes for Mckinley.

ONE OF M'ExINLEY's BEST.
Good Speech by the Nominee to N
Pennsylvania Delegation.

Major McKinIey's response to the ad.
dress of Mr.. Whiteshot, who presented the
delegation from Mcdonald, Pa, was one of
the best he has yet made. He said:
My Fellow -citizens-It gives me great
pleasure and qualification to meet this rep
resentative body of my felloW-c1tizenS of
every branch of occupation and employ
ment men and women. here at my home,
who bring assurances of good will and con-
gratulation. I am prepared to believe what
your spokesman has said from the number
of delega tions from your State that have
visited already, that Pennsylvania is
really to be on the size of the Republican
party this year. (CTies of 'Surei Surer)
am glad TO welcome you valuable allies
in the great contest in which we are en-
gagged for public honor, for public morals,
for good currency and a protective policy
that shall preserve the interests of the
American people. l congratulate you upon
the splendid government under which you
Iive-the freest and the best government in
the world. Free government is the ideal of
our civilization. 1t rests upon the consent
of the governed. All people of all aces
and nationalites who are citizens of this
country equally participate in it's govern
ment and equally share in it's benefits and
its blessings. We have been extremely for
tunate as a government. We have had no
serious causes of complaint in our eventful
history in the matter of good government,
and by that ] accept the definition of JEFF
ferson that the best government is that
which seems 10 govern least; that govern
ment giving to the citizen the largest free
dom of individual action. the largest indi-
vidual liberty; that places upon him the
burdens upon his time, his service or his
income
..In contra sting condition with that
of the people of other countries we find
cause for sincere congratulations la the
one hundred and twenty years of our ma :
tfonal life We have made steady progress
in the march of civilization and in the inn
Drovement and development of the great
resources which God has given us. Moth
ing has long impeded our march, and moth

our form of government of getting rid of

advancement. We can look back over. the
whole stretch Of national life with
pride and exutation. We have had our ups
and downs. our periods of panic and de-
preston, resulting from one cause or an
other. but none of these, nor all of these
combined have thus far stopped the tri-
umphant march of the American Republic
We have right TO rejoice over the sood
fortune which has attended us in the past

it being unpacked it was more easily dam
aged. The cellar was used for storing
heavy goods in cases and its contents are
probably almost uninjured.
At AIS o'clock the fire was pronounced
under control. At that time there had been
little damage outside the one building. The
fire was almost extinguished in the front
part of the Pearson & Wetzel building and
a ladder was placed across from a window
in Hayes & Reddy's store to the fourth
floor Of the burning building and three lines
of hose were carried across.
A moment before it was supposed the
fire was entirely under control, but just
as the fremen reached the fourth floor
of the building the fire broke out afresh
in the rear and the skies became as bright
as the beginning. The water tower had
become useless in its position in front of
the building, but it was not needed in the
rear and it was thrown out of service. AT
one time it seemed that the front of the
building was in as much danger as the
soNCNA OA
tower is due the saving of that portion of
the structure, but even then the tower, on
account of its position, was not over half
as effective as it should have been.
Charles D. Wetzel, one of the firm. ar
rived at the fire at 4:30 o'clock. He had
just returned at IL clock the night before
from Hartford City. He was very greatly
excited while talking of the stock and the
probable loss and could form no very
definite opinion about either He said that
this was the worst season of the entire
year for fire to strike them as the store
was full from cellar to roof with expensive
holiday goods.
Mr.. Pearson thought the stock was worth
between $50, 900 and 100000, but he could not
state with any degree of exactness on ac-
count of the large importations of new
the stock was nearly covered to its value
by insurance.
Mr. Pearson is inclined to the belief that
the fire was caused by the crossing of elec-
nSnC wires. Iu6 Ci1iy III e Ia til0 baAAu-
ing was that under the boilers in the base
ment The appearances are that the fre
started in the fourth floor and it was sug-
gested that it might have been communi-
Gated from the basement by means of the
elevator shaft and thus have been given the
appearance of having originated at the
top. Mr.. Pearson does not believe this to
have been the case. The boilers are To-
Gated near the middle of the basement,
while the elevator is in the extreme south
east corner. A fire starting from the boil
ers would have damaged the first and
lower floors before breaking out in the top.
Mr. Pearson thinks the electric light wires
became crossed making a short circuit that
caused spark from which the packing
straw was ignited.
The fire alarms aroused many people
from their beds, and thousand or so
watched the progress of the flames. In
coming travellers on the morning trains
also swelled the crowd. The Police were
on their way to morning roll call, and a
score or more were detailed for service.
Ropes were stretched and the sight-seers
kept out of harms way and from inter-
fering with the fire fighters.

Registered Mail Stolen.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE Union Pacific
fast mail train held up at Uintah, Utah,
this morning was carrying the Chicago and
other Eastern mail from the coast due in
Chicago tomorrow morning. Superinten-
dent Troy of the railway mail service, was
wired this morning by the postal mes
sengers the train that the postal cars
We're entered by the bandits. and all of the
registered mail rif1ed. The fast mail car
ries the registered mail from the coast and
as a great proportion of it is correspond
ence between banks, inclosing exchanges
and remittances of cash, the loss is sup
posed by Mr.. Troy to be of consequence.
This is the first time in many years that
the mail cars have been held up, said Mr..
Troy. THE bandits in the past have con-
tented themselves with rifiing express
boxes and have left the mail cars alone,
fearing the "reminiscences with which the
governments secret service agents pursue
mail robbers. 1t was an exceptionally bold
act to attack the fast mail of the Union
Pacific railroad--one of the largest carriers
of mail in the country. The government
cannot afford to leave unbound the men
who did the act.

How Muskrats Breathe Under leo.
National Recorder.

National Recorder.
w. Spoon, the naturalist, asserts that
the muskrat, when obliged to go be-
meath the ice from one side to the 9th
er of pond, has curious mode OF
taking along his air supply. Instinct
teaches him to take in deep breath
before starting, but even this he knows
will be insufficient for the trip. Ac'
cordingly he halts occasionally and ex-
haIes the exhausted air from his lungs.
This air, being confined by the ice in
the shape of Il hubble, and III full con-
tact with the icy water, becomes al
most instantly reoxygenated. When
the transformation IS completed the
wise rat again takes III his old breath,
which is now fresh inspiration.
Thus reiuvenated, he again dives out
of sight ami begins swimming for the
other side, only coming up against the
ice as often as it Is necessary for him
to refreshen that valuable little bit OF
air. But few hunters and trappers are
aware OF the muskrat's odd plans OF
changing his poisonous breath into a
fresh inspiration, but those who are
take a mean advantage. By striking a
heavy blow on the ice the air is dis
persed. and the little animal dies OF
asphyXia.
