FIRE AT MURDOCH & FREEMAN's

The alarm from box 81 Sunday morning
about six O'Clock, was caused by fire in
the large two and a half story bottling
house of Murdoch & Freeman, No.
Franklin street. The fire was in the upper
story and before it was extinguished the
roof was SO badly burned that new one
will be necessary. Not much damage was
done to the rest of the building. There
was necessarily some breakage of goods.
Chief Eldredge and Fire Inspector of
Buildings Hanson decided the blaze was
caused by waste and rubbish about the
elevator for there was great deal of old
rubbish in the upper story. The building
and stock are owned by Murdoch & Free
man. They have $40, 600 worth of property
in building and stock, and an insurance
of S12, 900 with the firms Of 81. A. Har-

The republican convention. to elect
delegates to the state and congressional
conventions. was held in the court
house Saturday last, at II a. m.
F. V. Russell was made chairman
temporary and j. W. A. Cooke and
Capt. J. F. Lewis secretaries. The
usual committees were appointed, and
the convention then adjourded to 1:3O
O'Clock p. 10.
Upon calling to order, the temporary
officers were made permanent. The re-
port of the committee on credentials
seated the Long and Cole delegation
from Hoisington, and upon the adoption
of its report the contesting delegation,
headed by some of the hardest republic
can workers in Homestead township,
arose and left the convention in DIS,
gust.
Reports OF committees on organiZa'
ton and order of business adopted.
The committee on resolutions re
ported set OF regulation republican

and pure, and holy was claimed for
the republican party; McKinley's dilly.
dallying with the Cuban question was
lauded, and the delegations to be
elected were instructed for Elrick c.
Cole for Supreme Court Justice, and
Chester L. Long for congress.
The report of the committee and the
resolutions were adopted by rising
vote; but the delegations from Pawnee
Rock, Washburn. and one other town
ship did not vote for their adoption.
A ballot was taken, and the follow
ing delegates to the state convention
who are all Cole men of coursel were
elected, viz: E. W. Moses. G. l.. Archer,
J. w. A. Cooke (''independent." you
know,) w, 1. Mendenhall, M. G. Ell
| more, G. W. Linder and M. B. Fits.
Judge Cole was called for and re-
sponded in speech in which he roasted
his enemies, spread taffy oven his
friends, and made the bold eagle to
scream and the war dogs to howl to
that sit was not matter of pride but
uf nerve that caused the republicans of
Kansas to stand firm'' and it was such
a truthful hit that the audience bowled
again, Then Elrick got funny. and
asserted that every promise made by
the republican party in 1895 was being
fulfilled We presume he referred to
international agreement, to "vigor.
Gus Cuban policy" and things like
that.
After an intermissiOn of ten minutes
to fix up the delegation for Chester,
the following delegates were elected
to the congressional convention: N A.
Wasson, Ferd Schadl, E. G. Emley,
Leo Bockemohle. T. G. Brown. r. W.
Emerson and Frank Herren.
This completing the business of the
convention it adjourned.

THE WAR MEETING.

The court room was crowded last
Saturday night, at the meeting of
citizens to form plans for a Barton
county company of volunteers. Martial
music-the fife and drums-reminded
the older citizens Of times of long ago,
when they had been summonsed to the
defense of the land by the same music.
Capt. F, Lewis called the meeting
to order, and stated its object Upon
motion the Captain was selected as
chairman, and ". p FEEDER secretary
Of the meeting. Short addresses were
made by D. A. Banta, W. ". Sowards,
E. C. Cole, D. j. Newton, w. P. FEEDER,
D. T. Armstrong. Willis Howet.on, a.
B. Miller and others. The old soldiers
told of their experiences Of Amy life.
while those who were too young to
participate in the late war spoke of the
cause of the present disturbance, its
probable duration, and the duties of
American citizens.
Upon motion roll was opened, and

themselves for enlistment next Satur-
day, the 7th, were asked to sign their
names, age and postoffice address.
This roll will be kept open until next
Saturday, being in charge of w. r.
FEEDER, at the Walnut Creek Mills
office.
1t is thought that Barton county will
furnish enough of the company to be
recruited here next Saturday, to secure
the election of the company officers, al
though there were not very large
number signed up Saturday night.
Those who present themselves for
enlistment next Saturday should come
prepared to leave Immediately fol
Topeka, where they will be put into
