WYOMING SAFE

For the Republican Ticket, SO Says
Senator Warren.
Chicago, June Ex-senator Francis
Warren, of Cheyenne, Wyo., who is at
the Auditorium, said i'm regard to the
situation i'm Wyoming:
Wyoming is a Republican state,
and i'm my judgement we will carry il
this fall for the National Republican
ticket, although the contest will be
freely fought, especially in case
Henry NJ. Teller is introduced by the
Chicago convention. The fight will be
harder and the margin smaller than Il
there had been a more liberal con-
struction of bimetallism, and a less
harsh sentiment on the part of those
who believed in gold recommendation
at the st. Louis convention. The peo-
pie of my state believe that the Re-
publican party has always been n
party of bimetallism and that, not
withstanding the extreme view of the
question now taken by the eastern
element of the party, it will yet be
forced to leave the field of monomet,
allism. The Republican wave toward
English principles of finance Will soon
recede just as the Democratic wave
toward free trade has receded. SEN
ator Warren isipersonally strongly in
favor of the election of Mckinley and
Hobart and will do his utmost to carry
his state for the ticket.

BURNED IN 7HB night
W. s. sTAMBAuGH's FINE RESI-
DENCE DESTROYED.
Aare in Some Mysterious Manner 1t
Blased 50 Quickly That tho Family
Escaped With Difficulty : Practi-
cally Nothing Is Saved

The handsome residence Of W. 5.
Stambsugh just west Of the city was
burned Sunday morning about y
o'clock. The family was all at home
and barely had time to escape FOR
several days the furnace had not been
working well owing, it is supposed TO
the flue being filled with SCOT. A
crate fire had been laid in the sitting
room on the first floor for morning
About 8 o'clock Mr.. Stambaugh heard
fire cracking and supposing the
CRATE fire had started went in
some haste down stairs to inspect It,
It was not disturbed and he then
looked down cellar but found moth
ing wrong. Returning to the second
floor he went to the attic door and
opening it saw the entire roof aiire.
Waking the family a rapid exit was
made. The two boys were wrapped
in the clothing Of their beds while
Mr.. and Mrs. Stambaugh and the
servant girl made toilet that was
more notable for Its speed than ele'
gance.
| A few neighbors were on hand by
this time and the fire alarm had
sounded downtown. Several small
pieces Of furniture and some Of Mr..
Stambaugh's clothes were rescued anu
then the roof crashed In and nothing
more could be done. In the still
night the building burned to the
ground but none Of the sheds or barn
was hurt. The family went to the
adjoining residence Of G., G. HUFFMAN
and found shelter from the bitter cold
The firemen attempted no work as II
was seen long before they arrived
that 1t was useless.
The house was one Of the two bull
in the University Heights during th'
boom. 1t was erected by Theo
Mosher and it was claimed that 1t cost
$1,000. 1t was admirably iinishec
and complete In every particular
while Mr.. Stambaugh had furnished
it elaborately.
An effort was made to save the piano
but it was unsuccessful. Many
keepsakes and articles valued for thell
associations were lost, adding to tn
lost which may be measured in cash
The house was insured in the New
Hampshire Fire Insurance Co. 10

FUNTING THE PIGSKIN.
Opening of the Football Season Is
Auspicious All Round.

The football season opens in the clearest
atmosphere of the last half dozen years of
Its life. The outcry against the game,
raiseu Two years ago by The ignorant and
the preJudced, was hushed into silence last
year by Its very isolation, and the continu-
atlon OF the game this year on conservative
lines has gained many converts for whole
some sport from among this erst " lille
ciaihorous most. Those that yet retain
preJudices nurse them in private.
The PRONUNCIATION of rules looking to the
health OF the athlete, moral ana physical.
the activity and wisdom of faculties and
OF alumni advisers, in their application.
the revision of the playing rules have All
done their share in convincing fair-fnindad
men, whose objections to football were
honest, that the game plays a desirable
ana valuable part in Undergraduate life
Whose denies this argues himself ignorant

The penalty of success is attack from
the enyIous, the ignorant the mediocre
1t is human nature to be uncharitable,
envious and malicious. Our worldly struC-
giles are daily increased by one OF the
other OF these black beasts of life, and
every game that ever achieved popularity
has suffered its measure OF calumny. So
football had its detractors, just as bicycling
is now sustaining vilification from a
small though malignant band, led by a
silly woman lecturer, who heralds the
bicycle as the vehicle of the devil, and a
menace to the virtue of womankind.
