Major Richer Burned Out.

The steam laundry in Reno, owned
by Major Phil Reiber, formerly of
Tuscarora was totally destroyed by
fire Tuesday evening. The fire is
supposed to have started in what is
called the starch room, adjoining the
dryer. When first discovered, Major
Richer rushed to the engine to turn
on the water, but was driven back by
the flames. The loss was about 81 900
Neither the building nor the machin-
cry were insured for a dollar, all of
the insurance companies having de-
cined to take risks on account of the
dangerous character of the business
carried on there. Major Reiber is
particularly unfortunate. He lost not
only all of his laundry property, but
every stitch Of clothing, excepting
what he was wearing at the time. A
small amount in green backs, which
we're in the pocket of a vest in bis
sleeping room were burned. Only a
couple OF days ago he purchased the
interest Of his partner, and everything
he had in the world was invested in
the business. In addition to this
misfortune, his head and face were
badly burned in his efforts to subdue
the fire when it was first discovered

To Kesp Horses from Ballins Up.

There is a well known Detroit
physician who has been looking for
years for some means to prevent snow
@balling" on the hoofs OF his horses.
Yesterday he discovered what he has
been looking for. For years he has
tried every sort of device that he
could conceive of or that had been
brought to his attention by other peo-
pie, but the snow was always "balling"
up in the hoofs just the same, much
to the danger Of the horse and to his
own discontinue. Yesterday he was
coming down Woodward avenue and
the same old trouble was wearing on
his patience. Getting out Of his
buggy he went into drug store, and
asking for some drug he wanted, in
cidentally remarked that he would
like something, too, that would pre-
vent snow "balling" up on his horse.
@Wcll," said the druggist, II sho uld
think you ought to know how to stop
that" Giving the doctor two ounces
of glycerine, he told him to divide it
evenly on the four hoofs in his horse.
The physician took the prescription,
and applied it rs told. He drove on
down town, and getting out looked at
the horse to find that there was no
snow whatever on any hoof. 1t seem
ed a complete cure.
Oil and lard have often been tried,
but opposed by veterinarians ON the
ground that they keep the moisture
away from the hoof, thereby doing it
injury. This fails Of application to
glycerine, for it will mix with water.
1t will not injure the hoof, and it
seems, will keep the hoof free from
snow.--Exchange.

WAS POORLY MANAGED.
Candidate Bryan's Tour Through Ohio
Was Not well Arranged.

Sandusky, o., Oct. 21.-The trip Of
William ]. Bryan through Ohio has
been one of Encouragement on the
part of the committee Of which Daniel
McConvile was the representative. The
work demanded from Bryan has been
such that Tuesday night the candidate
worked until a. M, and at Z in the
morning he was addressing crowds
gain. The local committees were al
lowed to surge through the car, and
che train was two hours late whom it
reached Sandusky, and then Mr.. Bryan
found he was billed to speak at Tifln.
The work Of the local committees,
with hardly an exception, was Of a
nature not to be admired, to say the
least. At night the nominee, as a
consequence, was tired out, and when
in the early hours of morning he sue
cecded in gaining some rest, he was
in a good condition to appreciate it.

and in good condition to- talk to
Hoosierdom. The car in which he
slept laid over during the nightin Ur-
bana. Early in the morning at Brad
ford Junction a crowd of several hun
dred gathered about the car and yelled
for the nominee.
At $3.50, when Greenville, was reach
ed, Mr.. Bryan, spoke to large crowd
for ,20,minutes, "A great amount of en-
thusiasm was shown, and his speech
defending the silver dollar and answer
ing the -53=cent dollar proposition was

proyal. - X

Englishmcn Are Worried About the
Outflow of Gold.
GREAT SURPRISE TO THEM.
vhoy Realize That tho Advance In whoas
Gives Uncle snm Chance to
y Add Many E ,gics to His
-. Stock OF Birds,

London, Oct. 21:-44There ia a general
belief here that the directors of the
Bank Of England at their regular
weekly meeting will raise their dis
count from 8 to per cent. The news
papers agree In stating that the flow OF
gold totAmerica must be stopped.
; The st. James Gazette says: "Ac-
cording to exchange experts even the
present rate does not allow margin
of profit to shippers. SO that a premium
on gold Is evidently paid in New York
by those who arc so nervous In regard
to the political situation as to insist
upon boarding gold. This iS striking
comment ON the cocksurencss of the
Republicans tanentth the defeat of Bryan.
y 1It Is obvious that the. very rapid adj
vance In wheat adds considerably to
the power Of the Americans to draw on
sthe European gold supply, and unless
the directors .of,the bank are prepared
tohliow;the reserve to suffer further
large dlminution a rise in the rate may
be counted upon as certain.
$50 far as weecan Judge, however,
thel am6unt5of the reserve will be
e25.5O0,600. and when we deduct the
sum OF e 10000, 900, which has to be set
aside against the Japanese balance, the
total is none too large, consldering
the autumn Withdrawals to Scotland.
Just as a beginning tho stock exchange
was fully 3Ptepared for riso in the
bank rate last week, so, there will be
no sudden collapse ih prices.
