Saw Mil Barned.

Last Saturday night about 8
o'clock the saw mill of Messrs. G.
M. Caughman & Son, was discovered
to be on fire. The fire, when first
seen, was in the middle of the shed
away from the boilers, which leads
to the supposition that the fire was
the work of an incendiary. The
machinery, engine, boiler and about
10000 feet of lumber were burned.
The loss is estimated at $4,000, upon
which there was no insurance.
The Messrs. Caughman desire US
to return their deepest thanks to the
kind neighbors who so promptly
responded to their call and worked
80 faithfully to save their property
from the flames.

YOUR B

You possibly remember that tbs
country had a general election two
years ago last fall. Two big parties
fit" for the most votes of the people
to control the country to carry out
certain demands. E ach had what thew
called a platform. Perhaps you never
read a platform9 Most of the voters
certainly never did and most of those
who did forgot it at once if they IN.
derstood it. Well, the democratic
platform don't matter, for that party
was ftzsimmoned. But the republ.
can platform, it should at least be an
index to the Legislation of the past two
years, because that party controlled
all branches of government. That
platform demanded that the Nicauaga
canal be built, owned and operated by
the United s iates government. Did
they do it9 Have you heard of such
an actionG 1t demanded certain
changes in the currency. Have you
ever heard the rumble of any such
changee7 1t called for the independ.

advise the secretary whether il is
likely you will attend"
For a time it was thought that the
conference would launch a new politi
] cal party, but its leaders claim that
| they never had such intentions. Re
garding the conference, it's purposes
and probable results. DR.. Lyman Ab
bott writes the Outlook as follows:
''The National Conference upon
social and political reform, to be held
in Buffalo from June % to July 4. has
obtained an Importance unexpected
except by its prime movers and those
who knew their determination to make
it q SUCCESS. Even it's leaders have
been surprised to find how many men
in different parts of the country have
written them, expressing the hope that
the conference would launch a new
political party, with q distinctively
social reform programme. No such
ambitious and, for the present, i'm
practicable plau as this is contem
plated. The general topic for the dis
c~ussions is What to do next7" and the
obi 9ct in view is to bring retormers of
different parties, with different meas
ures most at heart, into personal rela.
tions with one another, and into some
agreement, if possible, as to what
measures should be put first, and what
methods used to advance the measures
which nearly all wish to further.
Those in charge of the conference be
lieve that the great need at the pres
ent time is the CO operation OF reform
ers, and not their further division by
the inauguration Of q new political
party O1ly the first two days are
to be devoted to the discussion of eco
nomic measures, and the remaining
four to plans and methods Of achiev-
ing results We learn from the Secre-
tary, Mr.. Eltweed Pomeroy, of New
ark, N. j., President Of the National
Direct Legislation League, that a larger
attendance than was at first contem-
plated is already definitely assured.
Among the general committee OF the
conference are Republicans like Cover
nor Pingree and Booker 7. Washing
ton; Democrats like ex. congressman
Williams, of Massachusetts, aud L9wis,
OF Washington; Populists like Senators
Butler and Pettigrew; Prohibitionists
like Ex-Governor st. John and Mr.. E.
]. Wheeler; trades ua.ionists like Presi
dent G. ompers and ] )sephR R. Buchanan,
and literary men like E twin D. Mead
and W. D. Howells. ALI these men,
however, have the same spirit, and
there is no reason why they should not
find more points of agreement than of
disagreement"
