DEMOCRATS CHANCES
RIVERSIDE REPUBLICANS NAME
A WEAK TICKET
|Disgruntled Followers Of the g. O..
P.-Streets Again Need Repair
|, ing-Township Nominees

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 25.-Now that the Re-
publicans have made their nominations and
the men are known, the fusionists are not
at all disconnected over the outlook; In
fact, they consider the ttcketsan easy one
to beat. Prominent Democrats and Popu-
lists who are posted on the situation say
that there are many weak places on the
ticket put up by the Republicans. This Is
notably the case with the nomination OF
p. NJ. Coburn of Corona for sheriff. He is
not the choice OF the rank and file of his
party, but was put up, so it is claimed, by
the Riverside Water company Another bad
break the convention made was to nominate
James Mills for justice. a quite important
office here. Mr.. Mills is lifelong Demo-
crat who announced his conversion to the
Republican party only a few weeks ago.
To nominate Mills, Justice Chambers, an
old-line Republican, was turned down, and
now many of the latter's friends have the
knife up their sleeves. The Democrats
also claim they will have q walkover for
the place of assemblynlan. Their candidate
will be d. e. Myers of Moreno. who. they
say, will easily defeat Captain A. S. Mel
ice of this city, who received the Republi-
can nomination. The Democrats also ex-
pect to defeat several other Republican
nominees by the selection Of first-class men
on their ticket. 1t Is also believed by the
party managers that the nominees of the
Republicans for supervisors are weak and
they say the new board will surely be a
fusion one.
Riverside Brevities
The city has again commenced the work
of polishing the asphalt laid down in the
business streets at cost of several thou
sand dollars only couple of years ago.
The county jail boarders were diminished
by three yesterday. There still remain
seven prisoners for the taxpayers to feed.
The Republicans OF this judicial town.
ship have named James Mills and T. 8.
Stephenson for justices and Joseph Schroe-
der and W. L. Scott for constables.
The new Republican county central COM
mittee met Saturday night and organized
by the selection Of Curtis Huse chairman
and P. s. Castleman secretary.
Quite a number OF Riverside Democrats
| went over to San Bernardino last night to
take part in the big Mcguire meeting.
They report great enthusiasm. The meet
| ing to be held here Tuesday evening prom
ises to be grand one. Mcguire is popular
here and the opera house will not be able
to hold the crowd that will want to hear
| him talk.

nIam not in favor Of free schools, =
said Evangelist Sam Jonss to ST.
Louis Globe Democrat reporter.
rNo, sir; not free schools, free turn
pixies, free pensions, free silver, nor
free anything else. I want every
man to pay for everything he gets.
'sThis system of free things il
leading straight to government pa
ternalism. Pretty soon, if things
keep on the way they are going, the
daddies Of the country will lie down
at their ease. saying: No need for
me to work; the government III

ton, too, and let every able-bodied
man who doesn't put up for the
teaching of his child be sent to Jail
and kept there till hs promises to
pay for that education. That will
bring them to time and shut up the
saloons, too. The money spent in
tbs saloons is many times more
than enough to educate the chill
drcn of the country.
"As to free turnpikes: Toll ought
to be charged on every road in the
country.
"The free pension list gives rise
to much abuse. There are ! 200, 900
disabled soldiers on the United
States pension list now, and there
were only 100000 rebels.
Don't misunderstood me on the
school question. I think there
should be institutions for INDECENT
children and children of widows.
'Look at the history of free things
in the Bible. Our Lord never gave
anything free but once, and that was
when be rained mamma down for
the Israelites in the wilderness, and
there never was a more anarchistic |
and disjointed crowd than those
same followers of Moses. They be-
haved themselves so badly tina: the
Lord had to follow up his rain of
free mama with a rain of free
snakes. Only two of that band, as
originally constituted, reached the
land, Do you wonder that
I think things can be too free?"

Mrs. Cleveland'a Tact.

There is perhaps no time or place
in which there is such urgent need
of quickness of Wit and kindly
tact az at the public receptions
given by the President of the United
States and his wife, remarks the
Youths Companion.
When a queen receives her sub
jects the etiquette is fixed and mex
orable. No one speaks unless ad-
dressed by royalty. But Americans
of all classes crowd into the blue
room, many with q question or a
joke which they have prepared to
fire at their unprepared ruler, and
they judge by the fitness of his
reply whether he is competent to
hold bis Office or not.
Many of them, too. through sheer
embarrassment make foolish re-
marks, the memory of which prob
ably causes them misery afterward.
One frightened lady assured Mrs.
Cleveland: ut is a mutual pleasure
to meet you" correcting her mistake
by calling out as she was passing
down the line, II meant to say the
pleasure is all on your side"
A group of students out from
college on holiday were presented
to the same lady just after her en-
trance to tbs White House for the
second time. One lad, a freshman,
pale with difidence, heard himself
to his horror saying in q loud,
squeaky tone of authority:
MADAM, I think you have just
cause to be proud of your husband"
The other boys stared with amaze
ment and delight, storing up the
stoke on Bill" for all future time.
But there was not the flicker of
smile upon the sweet, womanlY face
of the first lady of the land.
"Ah !" she said gravely, still hold
ing bis hand, you bring me the ver-
dict of posterity! l thank yog."
The freshman's comrades we're
delighted at the reply and at the OPP
portunity given to chaf Bill upon
the awkwardness of his address,
but Bill only knew that he had seen
what seemed to him the kindest |
woman in the world.

N|SCONS|N'S GREAT. LOSS
MILLIONS WORTH OF TIMBER
Hundreds of Families Are Homeless
and scores Are Thought to Have

Rain Gave Relief.

Milwaukee, Oct. 3.-The pecuniary
damage wrought by the forest fires in the
northwestern part Of the state can not be
estimated at present. 1t may amount to
anywhere between one and five million
dollars. Many days will elapse before the
extent OF the ruin of the fiery element
Will be known. A Sva~Ia sain fell
throughout the state Saturday night. This
will undoubtedly put an end to the devas-
tation.
Clarke, Chippewa and Barron counties
appear to have suffered the greatest de-
struction. Over 100 people are reported
missing in the vicinity OF Rice Lake. Six
ty families are homeless near Cumber-
land, seventy-fve families at Turtle
Lake and many farmers have lost all
their property and had narrow escape
themselves. 1t is also believed many per-
sons were burned to death in their ef-
forts at fighting the flames, being unable
to escape when their efforts failed.
Many narrow escapes are reported. A
party Of loggers in charge Of August Ma
son Of Chippewa Falls were returning
from the camps to Cedar Lake. They had
race for their lives, having a handicap
over the flames Of eight miles, and having
but one mile to cover to reach place Of
safety. The party made for lake,
mounted on horses. With the heat and
smoke almost unbearable, the first section
of the logges and their horses barely
reached the goal in time, dashing into the
lake, where they remained until the
flames passed over. Four men VINO were
in the rear are missing and are believed
to have been lost. Many persons sought
refuge in wells.
Reports from Cumberland this after
noon say the town is in danger. Business
was suspended and the citizens were out
in force to endeavor to check the flames
Relief parties are now out through the
burned districts south and west OF Rice
Lake. The loss OF life from the disas,
trous forest fires can not now he esti-
mated, but it will be great. The work
Of getting to the burned districts is slow,
as all the bridges are down. Over hun.
dred people are missing. Many dead
bodies have, been found burned beyond
recognition. The remains OF one man
by the name OF Nelson were found this
morning at the bottom of well, where he

The trial has been fixed for the first
week in November. He will be con

Only one man has hitherto undergone the

TACOMA wooLEN MILL FIRE.
Plant valued mt One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars Is n Total Loss.

Tacoma, Oct. 3.-The Tacoma Woolen
Mill Company's plant burned yesterday
morning and is almost total loss. The
value of the plant and the stock is placed
at $4,000 and is covered by $4,000 in
surance. The plant will probably be re-
built. The fire originated in the picking
room and is attributed to over.heating of
machine or spark from a nail in the
wool. The mill had received large sup
ply Of wool the day before and this was
destroyed, with clothing shipment OF
200 bolts to New York which was being
packed. The mill was one Of the largest
on the coast and was being transformed
from blanket mill for the manufacture
of cheviots and had established large
eastern trade. The property had passed
out of the hands Of the original company
and is held by number Of its bond
holders.

north to south and two blocks wide from
east to west has been burned over, but at
this hour Is p. m.) the confagration is
believed to be under control. The flames
are still leaping high in the air over the
burned district but the wind has died
down and there is no doubt that the fire
engines which have come from Denver and
Pueblo in response to appeals for aid, will
be able to confne the flames within the
present limits.
The Antlers hotel, one Of the largest
in the west, three lumber yards and two
blocks of business houses have been des.
troyed. In round numbers the loas Is
estimated at $l,0O0,OOO; insurance one
half of that amount.
The fire started in pile Of rubbish un-
derneath the platform Of the Denver &
Rio Grande freight depot. Within 6ve
minutes it had communicated to freight
cars and it spread SO rapidly that it was
impossible to move any Of the cars. Half
a car of powder consigned to G. s. Barnes

for hundreds Of feet and the wonder Is
that nobody was injured. Then came the
terrible danger to the city.
