Fire Wednesday Night.

At 11:l5 on Wednesday night an
alarm from box "a called the fire de-
partment to the old furniture factory
and warehouse on Holmes street.
The warehouse was foil Of tobacco,
which was raised on Miss Mary
AshmOre's farm, near the city limits,
10y Mr.. VIM. SmOot. 1t was a fine
crop, and was estimated to be worth
about $1,000. 1t was insured for
$1,000.
The furniture factory was empty
except for the machinery. Both
buildings were totally destroyed.
The tiremen had tough job of it
and it took them some six hours to
completely subdue the fire as the
whole Of the buildings were in flames
when discovered.
Various surmises are INDUCED in
as to the cause of the fire. Some
allege that it was caused by spOn-
taneous combustion and some that it
was of incendiary origin.
The buildings were the property
of Mr.. Richard Julian, of this
county. They were insured for
400.
The warehouse of the Frankfort d
Cincinnati Railway, together with
other buildings in the immediate
neighborhood, were saved.
1t was the largest fire we have had
for years and about the hardest to
fight. The total loss was some
$4,000.

MORE WELLS-FARGo TRIcKERY

THAT the Wells Fargo Express Company has
no intention of paying its share of the war tax
has from the first been evident Had it desired
TO abide by the law instead of to sneak out OF its
Just responsibilities there would have been no occa-
sion for test case, for the law needed judicial
interpretation 1t perfectly plain, to the COM
pany painfully plain.
The Wells Fargo people, under the instructions OF
President Valentine, began TO wheedle and buldoze
their patrons, forcing or foong them into assuming
the obligations of great company which did not
wish for the mere sake of paying its debts and per-
forming patriotic duty, to have its dividend pro-
ducing powers impaired.
One day. much later than it should have BEEN this
arrogant corporation sued by William Costley
because it had refused to transmit parcel for him
after he had offered TO pay the regular rate. The
contention was that in addition to this regular rate
Mr.. Costley should pay the war tax Congress had
said should be paid by the corporation.
Costiey was victorious in the Justice Court and
in the Superior Court, to which appeal taken.
The dual exposition of the law would have swept
aside any defense the company could have had ex-
cept that there was nothing to sweep away; it had
no defense Yet Valentine would not permit his
men TO obey the statute He made some cunning
little rules of his own quoted Scripture to bolster
them up and constituted them guide for the prompt
and polite annulment of Congressional legislation.
Caught and convicted in breaking the law, he con-
tinued as brazenIy as to break it.
Now that two other patrons have come forward
with demands for damages, the grounds being similar
to those which Costley had rested his action upon,
that the corporation had intention of being honest
and decent is emphasized 1t knew these causes if
taken to trial in the same tribunal which had put
decision on record could have only result, and
that disastrous to itself So it sought another
tribunal Here is opportunity for more delays, more
technicality
There can be no merit to the Wells-Fargo con-
tention There can be no excuse for the swinish way
in which this corporation has acted. 1t deserves
nothing OF the people who have so generously sup
ported it heretofore. Fortunately the mails open
to large part OF the traffic in small packages which
has heretofore gone to Wells Fargo The mails are
safe cheap and convenient. If citizens take their
wares to the Postoffce and shun the Valentine con-
Germ with its avarice and its sham they give it
a lesson not to be given in any other way 1t has
no conscience to appeal to, but its stronghold is
sensitive.

are needed. in consequence of which the
scavengerS muster in strength in hot
countries. Vultures wander but rarely to
these parts, and such sharks as occur are,
with few exceptions, but mtnnows of their
race. Yet we have even in these islands
humber purifiers at work, tadpoles and
burying beetles, and others suitable to the
comparatively easy work that falls to
them. One of these days, when natural
history is taught in rational manner in
our schools, when the rising generation
learns to appreciate the living world
around instead of banging pianos and
splashing pigments, we shall have a re-
cantatlon of the modern geological faith
and a better appreciation of the beasts
and birds.
We shall find nothing to shudder at in
the meal of the vulture, but we may, on
the contrary, even learn to protect that
remarkable bird and it's fellow-scaven-
gers as among the worthiest of earth
children. To the last the vulture is ac-
tive in its allotted mission, and when at
length 1t falls no living beast, or bird.
or insect will touch its body, and 1t must
crumble quietly to dust, lasting-some-
what too lasting, as those know who have

ture for some days-monument to the
usefulness of the great scavenging army

ber.-From the Saturday Review.

BHRRY'S SINGLE TAX THEORY.

I AMES H. BARRY, anarchist candidate for
81 Congress in the Fourth District, is to be con-
~ graduated upon the fact that his single tax
theories have received judicial recognition. On Fri
day suit was tried before Justice of the Peace Barry
who is in way related to the anarchist, though
bearing the name-in which the cause OF action
was demand for SIS due the city in delinquent
taxes Special Counsel Willet who brought the suit,
claims $780, but the difference between that amount
and Ss3 represents the costs penalties and interest
owing by Barry under the tax laws.
We say that Mr.. Barry is to be congratulated on
the fact that his taxation theories have received
judicial recognition. 1t is well known that he is an
enthusiastic single taxer. Even Judge Mcguire who
is prince in the line, scarcely compare with
Barry in practical mastery of the system invented by
the late Henry George. Mcguire pays his taxes occa-
sionaly-at all events, he pays them whenever the
Assessor and Tax Collector sufficiently fortunate
to get him in corner. But Candidate Barry openly
repudiates his obligations TO the Government Even
VIXEN sued for his taxes he ressts.
Barrys idea of single taxation therefore, consists
in downright refusal to pay any taxes. Free speech
among the anarchists means the right to throw
bombs into public meetings, Or which is the same
thing in principle, the right to rotten-egg orators
whose ideas offensive Barrys theories of single
taxation equally logical He thinks other people
should support the government 1t is quite plain that
we are placing fair construction upon his theory,
for if he willing to contribute anything toward
the support OF the government he would pay his
taxes before the city was compelled to sue him.
Barry's idea of single taxation is destined to be-
come extremely popular among the nihilists of the
Fourth Congressional District. None of them relish
paying taxes and any system which will compel
somebody else to pay them cannot fail to BOOM The
only people among them likely to oppose
Barry's theory those who, being the unfortu-
nate owners of real estate, cannot escape the de-
nands Of the city by hiring lawyers to fight it in
court. These may vote against him. But all who
want somebody else to support the government are
bound to rally around Barry.
So say the anarchist candidate for Congress is
to be congratulated on the outlook. Not only have
the proceedings in the Justices Court made his
single tax theories conspicuous, but they will bring
to his support all the other single takers in the
Death and taxes said to be certain This is true
rnder Barry's system. Taxes certain never to
be paid

The author Of the circular has shown more malice
than cunning in his efforts. The voters OF the city
know Nh Deane and they also know the worthless
ness and contemplating OF anonymous campaign
ISLANDERS With all intelligent and fair-minded men
the circular will help rather than nure the candidacy
OF Mr. Deane for they will have natural desire TO
vindicate an honest official from the attacks OF an
enemy who has the courage to fight in the open,
but resorts TO the cowardy tactics OF publishing and
circulating what he dares not sign,
Mr. Deane has been in the public service as dep
uty in the Office OF County Clerk for long time He
is known TO be thoroughly acquainted with the duties
OF the position His ability, his honesty, his fidelity
TO every trust and his uniform courtesy in attending
to the wants OF the people who have business with the
office are we'll known No in the city is better
fitted to take charge of the Office, and none could
perform its duties more efficiently with greater
economy and usefulness to the community.
Once more we warn the public against all such
stories as this which may be issued between and
