A BAD BLAZE.

The barn of Charles Davis, in Sheri-
dan township, was destroyed by fire
about II o'clock last Wednesday night
With the barn nine horses were cre-
mated, five of which number belonged
to Mr.. Davis, and the other four to
threshers stopping with Mr.. Davis
Three sets of harness were also des-
troyed, as was 1900 bushels of wheat,
alarge quantity of barley and oats, and
$50 bushels of corn, the latter being
stored in a granary- attached to the
barn.
None of the residents on the place
at the time of the FIRE appear to be
positive as to the origin of the blaze.

party can issue them certificates of
character. The fusionists are letting
go of the old issues. John Lind SAYS
silver is not an issue, Charley Towne
says that it is an issue. It is very hard
to decide when doctors disagree. That
reminds me of the Irishman and his
best girl who we're arranging for a
secret meeting. The Irishman said,
"If I get there first I'll write my name
on the post; if you get there first, rub
it out" That is just the way it is with
Charley and John. Charley writes
his name, and John rubs it out.
81 want silver as cheap as I can get
it, I want gold as cheap as I can get
it," continued Mr.. Bede. "Iron, lead,
copper and silver are dug and shipped
by large corporations. Gold is the
onlv metal that q man of ordinary
means can dig and own. Silver ora
tors say that falling prices are an evil
But falling prices, my friends, are a
blessing if the fall in price is due to
decrease in the cost of production. If
you have all the modern conveniences,
why should not things be cheaper.
1T is because the cost of producing
gold does not decrease, that believe
it is the rest metal we can use as a
standard"
The electric car, the electric car
riage, the bicycle and other products
of modern civilization have demon
etized the horse. A few years ago the
ratio between the horse and the COW
was six to one. A year or two ago. be-
fore horses began to increase in price
the ratio was about equal. Old con-
ditions can not be gotten back unless
we repeal modern civilization. We
cannot get back to the old ratio be-
tween the horse and the COW unless we
get machine to produce the milk and
do away with the COW for that purposs.
The same thing is true regarding gold
and silver. Let us not advocate some
thing that cannot be put into practice" !"
Mr.. Bede made strong argument,
showing how new inventions and
methods effected the relative cost Of
almost everything, and concluded his
address with an eloquent tribute to
America and plea to its citizens for
harmony and unity of action in the set
tlement of issues involving our stand
ing with other nations.

Is Used In the Laundry.

They had all retired for the night, and
the barn and granary we're completely
enveloped in flames before Mr.. Davis
and his family we're apprised of the
lire. An attempt was made to save
some of the contents, but this proved
a fruitless effort, and by midnight the
property valued at nearly $1,000 was
q mass of ruins. There is slight
suspicion of incendiarism connected
with the destruction of the property,
one or two threats of getting even with
Mr.. Davis having been made by one
or two enemies shortly before
the day of the fire. These threats are
being investigated at the present time.
Mr.. Davis had $500 insurance on his
wheat, which was worth about ST 900,
500 insurance on the barn and gran
arv and SIS on the horses. He has
already commenced to remove the de-

buildings.
Since writing the above queer dis
covery has been made in that there
were not enough remains for the
horses that were placed in the barn an
hour or two before the fire. 1t seems
that some one stole several horses from
the barn, and then set fire to the same
with the expectation Of covering the
crime.

Resorting to Falsehood.

The fusionists have got to that
point where they have no resource
except to claim great detection in
Republican ranks over in some other
county. They are trying it on Cald-
erhead by claiming down in this part
Of the district that Senator Stocks and
Z. A. Berry are fighting him in Mar
shall county. The REFLECTOR has
published letters from the gentlemen
giving the lie to the statement. They
are trying 1t on Stanley'by telling that
Wichita does not like him. Promi-
nent men Of all parties in Wichita are
for Stanley and it is conceded there
that he will have the largest majority
ever given a candidate for governor
in Sedgwick county. The Pops are
simply lying about it, that's all. A
party is in very desperate condition
when such tactics are necessary.

WEATHER PAST AND FUTURE
October Had Early Snow and Mean
Temperature.

The past month was marked by the
earliest snowfall on record, 4 inches
on the oath and 25th. The total tall
Of rain was 1893 inches. The highest
temperature was 50 on the 4th and
lowest " on the Goth.
At Lawrence the rainfall was All
inches, highest temperature ~ on
End, lowest 283 on 9th.
Compared with the October aver
ages, the past month was cool, rainy
and windy. Hicks predictions for
the coming ten days are:
From about the End to the 4th q
rise Of temperature will be noted,
travelling from west to east attended
by falling pressure and winds from
storm producing directions. Cloud.
ness and rain will result in many
parts Of the country, turning most
probably to snow and winding up
with stiff, northwest gale and a cold
wave in northern sections. On the
9Th, a restless, unstable condition Of
atmosphere, with tendency to cleo
trio storms, will be noticeable on and
touching that date. From this time
on through the 9th to 18th, much un-
settled weather and decided, autumn
nal storms will prevail in most parts
Of this country and very high norther-
ly gales, snow storms and a marked
cold wave may be counted on.

FIFTH DISTRICT all RIGHT.
Chairman Tomlinson Sees q Sure Vic.
tory for CalderhAad.

The Republicans Of the Fifth con.
gressional district are making their
final concentration Of efforts and are
taking account Of votes. They have
every reason to be satisfied with the
result. Chairman J. B. Tomlinson,
Of the Republican central committee,
was here today and in response to a
question said: 81 find hearty en-.
thusiasm for Mr.. W. A. Calderhead
all over the district. His meetings
are we'll attended and his position for
sound money and an American policy
Of expansion is proving very attrac.
tive to the thinking voters. The
claims Of the Populists to the district
are preposterous. They have neither
the figures to back up their guesses
nor have they done the work to get
them. About The only itemized state
ment from them seems to emanate
from one Brandenburg and he has
not been in half the counties Of the
district in two years.
"Mr. Calderhead will carry his
home county by a larger majority
than be did two years ago and will
make gains all over the district. Mr..
Vincent has not been able to explain
his vote against the presidents war
policy and the people are not inclined
to endorse his anti American tactics.
1.-The Fifth district was the first in
the State to fight out the money ques.
ton and it took its losses on that &C.
count early. In 1895 it showed q
fusion gain Of only 10 while the other
districts had gains Of 600 to $500.
We are also to be the first to get back
in line and arousing Republican ma.
jority may be looked for"

The Lawrence journal makes these
sensible remarks about the copper
head argument that President McKin-
lev should not be endorsed by the
November elections:
"For this country to elect a Demo-
cratic congress this fall would be to
acknowledge that the war was a fail
ure, and that the policy Of the admin
istraton was wrong and is wrong.
Not one man in a hundred believes
such thing"
We have one such man running for
congress on the Fusion ticket in this
district. He brought here last week
one DeArmond, bosom friend, a sill
yer Democrat from the wilds of Mis-.
souri,. This is what he said:

HE SEES M'KINLEY.
Judge Horton Calls on the FresloenI
and Gives His Impressions.

Judge A. H. Horton has returned
from his visit on insurance business IN
the east. He says:
"While in Washington I called on
President Mckinley He seemed 10 me
to be exceedingly pale, but his eye was
clear. his handshake strong and VlgOr-
GUS and over his face spread look or
perfect serenity. When in conversation
he stands close to his visitor, looks MN
squarely in the eye, and seems TO pore
down deep for his innermOst thougntS-
Later met one of the cabinet OIL
GERS and mentioned to him that the
president looked unusually pallid. This
official said: Yes, he is pale, but for all
that he is strong. The president mas
been a physical and intellectual revela-
ton to all of US. I doubt if 1 can give
you to understand the marvellous grasp
he has retained upon all things con-
nected with the recent war, ana the
work he has performed in connection
with it. He has not been in bed q
single night before Z o'clock since the
war commenced, and he was apparently
the first man up in the morning ana
ready for business
Judge Horton says that the president
is now peruSlng a VOlum1nOuS cores
pOndence on the question of what we
shall do with the Philippines. i found
it to be the general impression in Wash
ingtOn,'' says the judge, that this cor
respOndence was largely in favor of re-
tanning all the islands under the Amer
ican flag, and it was rapidly becoming
a conviction among the Washington Of
ficials that having determined such to
be the desire of his people the president
would stand out for it in negotiating
treaty with Spain.
I was in New York, Philadelphia,
Hartford and other eastern cities. Eve
rywhere went the people were singing
the praises of Mckinley and Dewey, and
the Democrats We're just as enthusiast
tic as the Republicans. If Sampson or
Schley or Shafter or some of the other
war heroes happened to be mentioned
with a criticism, but there were no crit
icisms Of Mckinley and Dewey,
