POLICE AT FAIRGROUNDS.
Badly Needed AIready-Some ething
Should bs Done Before Tomorrow.

The police protection at the fair
grounds is poor. Chief Steele promised
to have policemen enough to handle the
crowds but this has not been done.
There are several special police on the
grounds that are under the direction
of the Committee of Fifteen, but they
are to guard the property and not to
handle the crowds. Around the en-
trance this morning the teams and bug
g1es were allowed to stand and to seri-
ously impede the progress of the crowds
going in and out. No police headquar-
tiers have been established on the
grounds and in case of trouble there is
no place to go for assistance. By to-
morrow at least there should be plenty
of police to handle the crowds If there
is not there viii be danger of the
crowds jamming around the gates and
they will literally take possession of
the Quarter-Stretch.

that nature has not neglected their

Mr.. James "A Rice. a free silver Dem
ocrat, was elected mayor Having
been asked uy the New York World
to explain why the democrats carried
McBlpiey's homo t. wn, which gave
him d large majority last November,
he wrote us follows:
Failure to make good the promises
made by the republicans last Fail,
general euBerIng and Giat"ess
among the laboring classes, inability to
do u prosperous buain>s% on conf
dence have caused people voting for
Mckinley for president TO realize
that tie interests of the masses lr'!
classes are not mutual S . far as re-
publican rule is concerned.
This causes the falling oil i'll the
republican vote from last fall and the
general democratic victories through
out the country People now be-
ivye that a change of conditions can
be accomplished only by restoration
of bimetallism.
This explanation Is not only tru
Of Canton, but Of most of tue other
cities and towns IL which elections
we're held last week, and to which
tne republican majorities last Novenl-
Der were completely reversed. And
it 1s u noteworthy fact that wherever
the issu ~ Of the national campaign
were made most prominent-Shat Is
to say, wherever the voters were
given an opportunity TO administer Il
direct rebuke to the plutOcratic COM
bine' that buncoed them all last Fall
there the democratic victories were
most decisive and the Republican
losses most marked.
Wherever the democrats tried to
win on "iocal issues" as in st. Louis
they failed. The people arc still
thinking about the issues formulated
in the Chicago platform, and their
thinking Is bringing forth fruit. You
cannot interest voters now in local
issues. The troubles they arc o
fronted with and that absorb their
attention are not confined to local.
ties. but are national in their scope
and bearing.
Until b~imetallism is restored, every
so-called local contest will be but a
segment Of the national campaign
And wherever the democrats recog-
nizo this they will win. The tide of
popular feeling is with them and is
risrng.-Post Dispatch.

BLAZE AT La CROSSE.
Mcmillan Opera House Block Is
Destroyed with Heavy
Loss.

La Crosse, Wis, Dec. 3.-[Special. i
The worst fire that has visited this city
for years occurred about midnight last
night. Of the old "Brick" Pomeroy and
the Mcmillan Opera house blocks this
morning only the lettering walls remain.
The lower floors of the burned buildings
were occupied by II. He'll & Sons, shoe
dealers; Aliens news depot; Langstad q
Walters, musical instruments; S. Bowl
by, branch of the w. w. Kim
ball company; the Drummond com
pany, jewelers., and Miller Bros, morgue.
The second floor was taken up with
Offices. while ON the third floor was the
old Mcmillan opera hall, now used as the
armory for Co. Nj of the National guards.
In this place all of the stores of the
company were kept and when the fire
reached the powder and shells the eXplo-
sion was terrific. The loss can hardly be
estimated at this time, but will exceed
100000. The greater part Of this is
covered by insurance
The Mcmillan Opera house was owned
by the Mcmillan estate and will probably
be rebuilt.
Six fremen were injured, three seri-

WHEAT MARKET DULL.
Trade at Chicago was Almost Stag
nated-Prices Drop
Little.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 1.-The wheat mar
ket for the past week has been in many
ways similar to that of the week before.
There has been the same dullness of
trading amounting at times almost to
stagnation, though business showed some
Improvement toward the end of the week.
Weakness was quite pronounced and
very material reduction in prices took
place. The range of May was between
% and S91% cents. yesterdays closing
price, 1878 cents, being 3A cents lower
than a week ago. December ranged be-
tween 991h cents and 81 cents and closed
yesterday at 80 cents, a loss for the week
of AZ cents
During the early part of the week
prices suffered the most The continued
good demand from millers and from
abroad was apparently lost sight OF in the
accumulated evidence of big stocks as
shown by the worlds shipments and con-
tmued heavy receipts at the Northwest
receiving points. Heaviness of Russian
shipments was a disagreeable surprise to
holders and caused considerable unload
ing.s
A peculiar feature was the entire alb
sence of deliveries of wheat on Deem
Der contracts on delivery day. This was
something that never happened before in
the history of the board, and it was the
generally-expressed opinion that there
will be no deliveries until the close OF
navigation. The market was helped late
in the week by the mountaineering clear
ances, but the slight advantages gained
were lost on reports of heavy forthcoming
shipments from Minneapolis to Chicago
and on figures showing a very large
amount of wheat yet in farmers hands.

POWDER MILL is GONE.
The Engineer, the Only Man on
Night Duty. Has
Close Call.

Platteville Wis, Dec. 3.-[Special.]-
The cylinder house of the Latin q Rand
Powder company blew up at $3.50 o'clock
this morning. The building was new
with a three-foot foundation but only one
eight-foot board is left of it. All but
three mills were totally shattered. The
Saltpeter house was blown to atoms.
Engineer Will Thomas was setting back
of a brick buttress near the boiler and
was knocked senseless by plank striking
him in the face. He was badly bruised
and cut. When he came to himself he
crept to one engine and shut it Oft and
thirty minutes later was able to blow the
alarm whistle. He was the only man on
night duty, but one hour later about
twelve men would have been blown into
eternity.
The mill contained two cylinders hold
ing 800 kegs of twenty-five pounds each
of powder 1t is thought the total loss
will not be less than $4,000.
The strongest powder in the world IS
made here. This is the sixth explosion
in the fifty years of it's existence and is
considered the most destructive to prop
erty. The shock was felt all over the
city. Window panes were broken and
dishes shaken in many houses. Men are

FRICKE RULES ON ANNEXES.
Eolds Companies May Only Issue Poll
cies Under Corporate Names.

cies Under Corporate Names.
Madison, Wis, Dec. 3.-Commissioner
Fricke has issued decision in the case
of underwriters agencies, holding that
the question was forced upon the depart
menI by rival interests and called for
his immediate attention. lie says that
under the laws of the state fire insur-
ance company can issue policy only I'M
der its corporate name, but that the law
permits joint policy by two or more
companies, and in such case the policy
must be issued in the name of the COM
panies uniting in such policy. Other than
this, Mr.. Fricke says, there are no pro-
visions than those of the standard poll
cy law.
AS to the outside or filing page of the
policy Commissioner Fricke holds that
be deemed necessary or convenient or
which will aid in the transaction of bust
ness, provided it is not calculated to mis-
lead the public as to the company issuing
the policy or its true condition. 1t there
fore follows that a company may print
on the filing page its corporate name or
POLICY issued through the Blank Under
writer's Agency, Blank Agent" This
the commissioner AYERS would be con-
strued only as designation of the agen-
cy through which the policy was issued.
The agents can, however, only be Ii
cenSed as agents of the company or COM
panies.
Mr. Fricke concludes his ruling by stat
ing that should company determine
that such designation is convenient for
the transaction of its business, due care
must be exercised in the selection of a
name. To use the word association -
he holds, would be misleading, as it con-
VeyS the impression of a distinct and sep
arate corporation.
