ly in the week, serve as a reminder OF
the proverb abont the impossibility OF
pleasing everybody. lnasmuch as the
Presidents working hours have lately
been running from twelve to eighteen
out OF each twenty-fOur, itwould appear
that he should have received credit, in
stead OF censure, when he devot, a
h,lf hour to receiving the officers OF the
Education Association and the members
of the important committees Of the con-
vention. HID he attempted to receive
them all at one time, in his present
worn and tired condition, he would
probably have had to go from the recep-
ton to his bed and to send for his phys
ician. Those who objected because
they did not get an opportunity to shake
the Presidents hand doubtless did so
without thinking that the President
has other and more important duties,
especially when the country is conduct
ing a war, than shaking hands with all
those who visit Was hington.-

LOSS OVER $4,000.
Tuesday Evenings Fire in the Tel

Losses and was a Difficult One to
Fight. It's Origin Unknown.

Fight. It's Origin Unknown.
A few minutes after ten o'clock Tues
day evening fire was discovered burn

Telephone or Cove block on Main street.
An alarm was sounded from Box 25, and
before long the entire fire department
at this end of the city was present.
The fire evidently started directly I'M

lishment and and worked up through
tho partitions until the whole frame
work of the block seemed afire.
The flames worked into j. +. Conway's
cigar store from the basement, and also
into Gordon and Booths jewelry store.
On the next floor the Citizens Tele-
phone Company central Office and r. C.
San born's real estate office were badly
damaged by FIRE and water.
After the fremen once got at work
they fought the flames bravely, but II

Ten streams were directed upon the
seemingly fated building and it was af.
ter midnight before the fire was fully
sxtinguished and the 'all out" signal
sounded.
This is the fourth FIRE that has occur
cd in this building and although 1t was
repaired each time the losses were quite
large in almost every instsnce, but
have never equaled this one. The
building is owned by Folsom and w. L.

Mysterious Death.

Mr.. ]. T. Hooper, OF Whitwell, died
suddenly under peculiar and suspicious
circumstances Sunday, the 10th inst.
His wife was arrested on tue charge OF
having poisoned him, as their domestic
relations had been unpleasant and 1t
was claimed that her words and cores
pondence revealed a clear purpose on
her part to take he's husbands life.
The body was disinterred and post
mOrtem examination held Thursday.
No traces OF poison we're discovered and
consequently the prosecution was dis
missed.
The affair created a profound sensa-
ton in the vicinity and unhappily has
been the means of giving unpleasant
publicity to a domestic quarrel. South
