Large Barn on Lombard street Totally
Destroyed.
A fire alarm was rung from box 1923
at the corner of Lombard and MaItby
streets shortly after noon yesterday for
fire In the large barn of Lewis c. Pal
mer at No. 81 Lombard street. The
barn was entirely destroyed. Five
horses were burned to death and several
wagons were burned. Mr.. Palmer is a
milkman and the barn was a new one
which he had recently erected for use ird
his business being specially adapted to
dairy purposes. The fire was caused by
the overturning of an oil stove, which
was used to heat water for washing
milk cans.
The flames had gained great Roadway
and the entire building was ablaze when
the firemen arrived, the bad condition Of
the streets in that locality retardng
them considerably in getting to the fire
with the apparatus. Among the horses
burned was Ollie Mills trotter. valued
at $500. The barn and stock were in
sured for 81, 900.

Gov. Tanner at Hot Springs.

Memphis (TennJ Appeal:
\ very carefully worded and guard
edlv written telegram from Hot Springs
announces the arrival il that valley
of vapors of Gov. Tanner. of Illinois.
This will BE hailed with delight by Il
great many citizens and taxpayers of
this republic who are Interested in the
chief magistrate of Illinois through
knowing him from reading the re-
ports of his public acts. His spectac-
ular and administrative absence from
the parade during the Chicago peace
jubilee daZzled the eyes of an enrap-
tured nation that rose up as one man
and excitedlv asked: Where did he
get it?" His couI So in threatening to
meet n large detachment of unarmed
citizens from other states with Cat
ling guns is fresh in the memory of
millions of his fellow countrvmen who
are oppressed with the magniiiccnce
of his proposition. who loved him and
who wondcringly inquired: Where
did he git it?' Gov. Tanner has been
4 pyrotechnic politician since the first
time he set foot in the hastings. and
his .manipulations of the fluid that
made Milwaukee famous have been so
charmingly deXtrous as to win for him
first place in the hearts of the deniz-
ems of Lake street and the West Side.

wrote so entertainingly. The rigor-
Gus and inhospitable atmosphere of
Illinois, especially along that part of
the Lake Front where the .'steins'
grow to abnormal proportions, is very
deleteriOus 10 health, and to find 4
more cOngenial climate has Gov. Tan
ner come to Hot Springs. The air of
the vaporous city possesses a reiu-
venating tonic if applied inwardly,
and no doubt the patient will not be
long in experiencing the most benefi-
cial results. A most peculiar thing
about the Hot Springs air, however, is
that while it is a specific for that
tired feeling, it must be continued to
effect a permanent cure. A return to
those environments that produced the
disease originally is sure to bring
about relapse of inturgescent viru-
lence. Hence, it is hoped that Gov
Tanner may conclude to remain
permanently in Hot Springs. so that
his days may be long in the land and
his nights filled with music.

when Stevenson was Poor.

Captain G. w. McWilliams, of Sac
ramento, Cal, told an interesting little
story one night last week in the cor
ridor Of the st. Charles. at was fully
20 years ago. he said, shat I was H.
troduced one evening in basement
restaurant on Kearney street, San
Francisco, to very tall, thin, rather
queer-looking young gentleman, who
wanted to know something about my
experiences in ranching down below
Fresno. He was presented simply as
Mr.. Stevenson, but even the full name
of Robert Louis Stevenson would have
made no particular impression on ME
at the time. / had never heard of it,
and when our mutual friend mentioned
that he was writer, took 1t for
granted he was newspaper man.
asked him to sit down, and we remain
ed there talking for perhaps couple
Of hours. can only recall the CONVEX
sation vaguely. Stevenson said he was
in bad health and thought seriously Of
going to live on ranch for several
years. He inquired very particularly
about items Of expenses, declaring
frankly that he was "most extraordi-
narilypoor." remember the expression
because it struck me as odd. He had
a long, acknowledging face with a
thin, dropping mustache, and a pecul-
lar way Of smiling at one side of his
mouth. A few nights afterward met
him again at the same place, and I
was surprised when he spoke incident
ally of son IA years old. Later on
| learned that the boy was his stepson.
Lloyd Osborne. Stevenson was the
most inveterate cigarette smoker 1
ever saw, and he remarked quaintly
that his wife had contracted the habit
while trying to break him of it. His
long fingers Were stained brown with
nicotine. The family left for the, east
soon after, and never saw him again
until he stopped at Frisco en- route for
the South sea. He was famous then,
and took the liberty Of calling. He
remembered me at once, and said that
my name began with Mac but that
was as far as he could go. Before 1
left he gave me copy of Prince Otto
with very interesting autograph in
scription." New Orleans Times-Demo-

the last place on earth one would think

pussy, for it is subject at all times to
the rude invasion of the waves, never
