FOREST AND PRAIRIE FIRES
Suburban Towns West OF Chicago Liable to
Conflagratious.

Huntington, Ind, Oct. forest 1rss
in the south part OF this township are
doing great damage. The timber and
meadows are so dry that the fires burn
with great rapidity, and cover large
areas OF ground in a shor. time. A
fire has been raging fiercely for three
days in the forests and there appears 10
be no way OF checking ii. Crowds Of
farmers are out with plows tearing up
the ground around farm houses and
buildings TO prevent the fires from
reaching and destroying them. The
dense smoke that raises from the forest
fires is almost un'bearable.

unless rain soon falls. Extensive prai-
RE fires have been raging for the past
two days in the town OF Somers. Large
quantities OF hay and other materials
have been destroyed, while acres o.

been destroyed. The progress OF the
flames seems to be slow but steady.
So far the damage will reach into the
thousands of dollars.

Of Ambassador White, who has been
spending a fortnight al Heringsdorf, TO

opinion that Samoa ought to become
German, as two-thirds Of the land is

NICARAGUA'S VERSION.
San Francisco. Oct. ACCORDING to
Consul General Miguel Carrillo of this
-
Yela Of New York, who arrived on the
San Bias. the reports of the war in
Guatemala have been greatly exagger-
ated. Consul Carrillo says:
The revolution in our country is con-
fined entirely to San Marcos, Quezalte-
mango and Port Ocos. Port Ocos IS a
shipping place for the coffee crops and
has population OF about 200 people.
The other places may have 5000 inhabi-
tants, but that is doubtful
DR.. Joaquin Yela, the consul general
III New York City from Guatemala,
says:
Il am more than surprised at the in
terest taken by Americans IN this little
uprising. I can state officially that the
whole thing is overdrawn. The riot is
confined TO one or two insignificant
ports and that will be all controlled
within four weeks"
4 few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
10 be in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a bad case OF la grippe
and recognizing IL as dangerous he took
immediate steps TO bring about a speedy
cure From the advertisement OF Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make first trial Of the
medicine. To say That 1t was satisfac-
tory in its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. II acted ike magic and
the result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recon-
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold
in any form.-The Banner OF Liberty.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The question
docs Holland pay an export bounty on
sugar because she rebates an international
revenue tax on sugar produced by her
farmers and exported? will be made a sub
tect Of Cabinet discussion before Secretary
Gage passes on the point The position of
Holland toward sugar exported is identical
with that of this government toward
whisky, our laws providing for the rebate
of the international revenue tax of $1.10 per
gallon on all that is exported. Ii Holland
pays an export bounty on sugar, then this
country does on whisky--which is q new
way OF looking at it. If Secretary Gage
rules negatively on the proposition that
Holland pays a bounty, then every other
bounty country will HollandiZe its laws and
let thousands Of millions OF pounds of for
edgn sugars into this country free of the
export bounty handicap, thereby depriving
the beet sugar growers of the West of an
important part of the NEEDED protection they
should enjoy. The point raised is a delicate
one. The decision, whichever way made,

IMPORTANT PENSION RULING.
Marriage Presumed in a Case Where
the Records Were DESTROYED.


the Records Were DESTROYED. 4
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.--Assistant Sec
rotary Davis, of the Interior Department,
rendered an important decision to-day, re-
vising the decision of the commissioner or
pensions in the claim of Charles A. Fry
and Sarah e. Fry, minor children of John
Fry, of Compeny e, Twentieth Kentucky
Infantry The Pension Bureau, during the
last administration, rejected the claim on
the ground that the evidence failed to show
that the mother Of the claimants was the
lawful wife of the soldier. 1t did show
that they had lived together as man and
wife for ten years or more in Kentucky and
Illinois, had stated they were married and
were regarded by the community as such,
but there was no direct evidence of mar
riage having been solernniZed. Assistant
Secretary Davis says: Il think any court
would in such a case presume marriage
in the absence of facts tending to create
BILE that the parties were united in mar
riage by a formal ceremony. The failure to
find any record of such ceremony is by no
means conclusive evidence that there was
none. The records of the county wherein
they lived in Illinois were destroyed by
fire. But, aside from this / think there
can be no question as to the suficiency OF
the evidence to establish a common-laW
marriage in Illinois. After careful con-
be presumed that the soldier and the moth
err of the claimants were lawfully married,
and the decision rejecting the claim, there
FORE is reScinded.'
