A Diagnosis of the Term "Only.,,

A few days since this little word
very much exercised the minds and
energies of two or three United States
Senators. Senator Vest was greatly
moved that it had been omitted from
the Democratic platform of 1896 at
Chicago. From the absorbing inter

DEMOCRATIC support for the pro
tective tariff is one of the causes of
the improved conditions through the
country. Business men who are CON
stantly studying these conditions are
of the opinion that the tariff bill
which has just been framed will re-

there will be permanent business
prosperity.

out In the Dexter park pavilion, at the
Union stock yards. yesterday afternoon.
spread to the district between Hal
stead street and Union avenue and
Forty third and Forty fifth streets, de-
molishing business houses and resi-

The worst sufferers among the resi-
dents were those living along Halstead
street between Forty-third and Forty
fourth streets Business houses and
residences being frame structures fur
nished ready material for the flames,
which ragged from 8 O'clock until 5 and
then yielded to the vigorous work OF
the fire department. The total damage
to the Dexter park pavilion Is estir
mated at more than $4,000, but 1t may
exceed that sum, as the exact number
of horses burned in the fire Is not
known, and a calculation of the amount
Of feed stored in the pavilion Is yet to
be made.
A number Of persons were injured
during the fight with the flames and
one man, according to an employe of
the stock yards, was burned to death.
The Dexter park pavilion stands only
few yards southwest of the main
horse market, which Is an immense
frame affair covered by huge dome.
Had the latter building caught fire 1t
would have meant the destruction Of
the greater portion of the stock yards.
The pavilion contained 800 horses, and
it was with the greatest difficulty they
were rescued.
