THE BURNING OF REPRESENTATIONS

THE BURNING OF WASHINGTON. The last glimmer of twilight was fad ing away when (after the battle at Bla-
 densburg, two miles distant from Washington into the well-nigh- desert cd city rode the redoubtable Cockburn at the head of his band of marauders Elated at their decisive victory over a force nearly twice as large as their own, and thirsting for spoils, the red-coated soldiers marched triumphantly toward the capitol. Discharging their fire
 arms at the windows, the soldiers burst in the doors. and with a shout of tri-
 umph carried their leader to the speak CTS chair, from which, with mock grav- ity, he put the question: Shall this
 harbor of the Yankee democracy be burned?" A yell of affirmation rang through the hall. and without further preliminaries papers and other combus- tibles were piled under the desks and set on fire. In few minutes this noble edifice that had been in course of con- struction more than twenty years, and containing the library of congress and vast quantities of official documents of
 great historical value, was destroyed. | Now thoroughly aroused to their work of plunder, a bowling crowd of the des-
 perate marauders hurried to the White
 House in the hope, perchance, of cap-
 turing the president and his wife. Finding the house locked and deserted, they battered down the doors, and con-
 soling themselves for the loss of their distinguished captives by ruthless de-
 struction of the furniture, they raided the larder and regaled themselves with hastily prepared feast in the state l dining room. Then, destroying the re-
 maining provisions, and breaking and
 mutilating whatever they could readily 1 lay their hands on, they concluded their
 visit by setting fire to the home of the
 president. Numerous other public and
 private buildings were also destroyed 1 by fire.-Clifford Howard in Ladies | Home Journal

SMALL FIREs YESTERDAY.

Yesterday afternoon about 3:S0 an alarm was rung in from box 57, cor ner of State and Pearl streets, for a blaze in the frame dwelling house of John Reynolds on State street, near Clark, next door to Satting's meat market. The fire was soon extinguish- ed by the department The damage was about $100. The fire originated from burning pieces of exploded fire crackers, which lodged under the caves on the south side of the house. The caves on that side of the house were all most entirely burned off. The fire burn ed well into the slope of the roof and into an attic room before it was eXtin- guished.
 BLAZE IN DOVER STREET.
 Another slight blaze occurred In a frame house on Dover street, near Clinton avenue. A party of boys was having a firecraoker celebration near the house and pieces of the burning crackers are supposed to have been the cause of the fire. The blaze was extin- Suished by bucket brigade made up of neighbors The damage was slight.
 FIRE ON HAMILTON STREET.
 The first fire of the day was at Ham, ilton street. It was found that some unknown boys had thrown some fire crackers on the roof of a two-story building owned by P. II. Healy and used partly by himself and partly by an Italian. MT Healy is a tailor and had left the house about five minutes before the alarm rang. The fire was confined to the roof and it was extin- guished by the use of a stream from the chemical engine and some water.
 It was necessary in order to put the fire out entirely to rip off a large sec tion of the roof and the firemen were at work on the roof with their picks and spikes, when Mrs. Anna Lamado, wife of James Lemado, started out of the door to descend to the ground, The firemen ordered her to stay where she was, but she was too much fright ened to do that and rushed along down the stairs. Just then large piece of timber used in the roof fell and struck her on the back of the head. Mrs Le- I mado's back hair probably saved her life The blow knocked her down but did not injure her seriously.

Home of William James on Reynolds
 Avenue Goes Up in Flames-Wife Seri-
 ously Sick in the House at the Time
 Loss, S3,OOO.
 The three-story frame dwelling house belonging to William James on Key holds avenue just north of Derby ave- nue and the Yale Field was totally de- stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon The building had been built but three or four years and the loss will be about $3,000. The furniture and window sash were saved by the neighbors
 Mrs. James who is seriously i'll, was in the house at the time. and with her the six small children of the family in charge of a girl. MT. James was ab- sent at the time.
 The fire was first discovered between and o'clock in the afternoon in the second story of the building The flames were under good headway when discovered and there were no means available to save the building, it being outside the fire limits
 The sick woman and the children were removed to places of safety by the neighbors and garden hose were kept playing water on adjacent buildings to prevent the fire from spreading to them. Fortunately the wind was blow ing from the northwest and away from the adjacent dwellings,; had it been blowing from the north or northeast, 1 it is probable that a dozen or so dwell
 ings would have been destroyed | The fI1rOit1Ira of the hOUSa and all | the window sash were removed to a place of security.
 l The roof of the building first burned
 away and soon the walls fell in com- pleting the destruction. | The cause of the fire is not known. MT. James is engaged in teaming and quarrying business and the loss of his | pleasant home is an especially severe one to him at this time on account ol
 the illness of his wife.

The practice inaugurated by the
Illinois Central railroad, of selling
stock shares to employees, for cash or
on the installment plan, is being in
vestigated by large number of rail-
ways and other corporations, as a
means OF securing more effective SER
vice and lessening the liability of
strikes. The plan is to sell shares to
employees who desire to purchase
them, to be paid for in installments
of IS per month, the deposit drawing
4 per cent. interest until share is paid
for, or in cash. It is thought that by
having employees directly interested
in the earnings of the companies,
less time and material will be wasted
by them and the liability of strikes
reduced to a minimum.

The county commissioners of Lane

heretofore been prompt in the pay

has been good. The trouble is laid
to the failure of non resident land

Another Scheme.

In 1893 bill favoring the Loan
Companies was schemed through by
some Of our wise Legislators, that re-
duced the interest on tax certif-
Gates from "a per cent to Is per cent
per annum. The effect of this bill
has been to drive SPECTATORS out of
our state compelling the counties to
carry the taxes. Following this bin
came the compromise act. And now
they come out with the disorganiza
ton scheme. Disorganization of the
western counties will not reduce
taxes. Take. for instance, the dis
organization of Garfield county.
See the law suits that have grown out
of it, and ask the taxpayers the result.
What causes our taxes to be high?
The few have them to pay. If the
delinquent taxes in Stanton Co. were
paid in full, the sum received would
pay our floating Indebtedness, our
county bond interest, our school
bond interest, and outstanding school
warrants, and have money enough in
the treasury to pay our expenses for
1897 without levy, except for the
state and o few school districts.
Disorganization is only step towards
reputation. It means the exodus
from this country of 10000 brave
men with their families, who have
spent from 10 to Is years of their
lives enduring hardships in the up
building of their homes. It means
the coniscating of their property, in
order that a few syndicate land
owners and cattle barons may be
benefited.
Restore the "a per cent interest
on tax sale certlhcates, amend the
compromise act of 1898, so that after
the expiration Of three years the
purchaser under the compromise act
may take deed on date of purchase.
Give Comfy Superintendent more
power in school districts. Consoli
date some of the county Offices, bnt
let the county boundries alone. Then
will our taxes be lower and the large
holders of land pay their taxes and
utilize their holdings. Then will
the men of small capital seek in

Theory About Quinine.

It is claimed that the tree from the
bark of which quinine is obtained
furnishes no quinine except in mala
rial regions. If the tree is planted in
a malarial district it will produce
quinine; if it is planted in norma
larial district it will not produce qm-
nine. It is, therefore, inferred that
auinine is malarial poison, drawn
from the soil and stored up in the
bark of the tree.

The Wichita and Western Il. X.
The Santa Fe road has completed
the purchase of eighty miles of steel
rails from Receiver Mcintyre of the
Wichita l. Western road. The road
bed is now being torn up by Superin
tendent Rhodes of the Wichita l.
Western and the rails will be deliver
ed to the Santa Fe company.
The exact price paid is not known
but it is said will aggregate from
$4,000 to 100000. The Santa Fe
paid at the rate of $40 per ton for the
rails.
The roed is being torn up at the
rate of about two miles day and the
entire work will be completed inside
of two weeks. Superintendent
Rhodes is experimenting the work
with big gang of men who tear
down depots, telegraph wires,
bridges and everything as they come
along. A ninety foot bridge was
torn down yesterday and brought
away.
The cars back up to where the
work ceased the day previous and
every time the train advances there is
nothing left but a stripped bed. The
people along the line are making no
protest Of any kind. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that they do not like to see
forty miles of taxable property taken
away from them, but the court has
decreed it.
Pratt will now be the terminus of
the road and the receiver will make
some improvements there that will
materially help the town. Mr.. Nc
Entire did not say but it was inferred
from other sources that the material
of the road, that sold to the Santa
Fe as well as that retained by the
Wichita & Western, will be stored in
Wichita. The material that will be
retained by the receiver will be used
in repairing the road between Wichi-
to and Pratt, and when the contem
plated repairs are made Mr.. Mem
tire thinks he will haye as good a
pieco of railroad as can be seen any
where inthe west-Topeka Capital.
