NARROW ESCAPE,

but Discovered just in Time to Save
the Building.
Dr. Putnam, sexton of the First Baptist
Church. Sunday morning saved that
structure from being destroyed by fire.
1t was about three O'Clock in the morn
ing when the Doctor visited the church
to look after his heater. AS soon as he
opened the door, he found something
wrong, and a hurried investigation
showed that the building had been fired
from defective flue
Mr.. Putnam took in the situation and
went about the saving of the building
Systematically. He found that flames
had eaten above the basement ceiling and
under the floor of the main auditorium.
1t was also between the walls. The joists
were burned completely through and
good portion of the floor was burned.
Mr.. Putnam worked heroically and well,
and the result was the saving of the build
ing from total destruction. There was no
alarm. fortunately and the Fire Depart
ment did not have to go out.

sweep the state, and it is rumored
that he intends shortly to issue an

have him for their next governor to
write him a postal card to that effect.
If he gets enough postal cards to
satisfy him that he stands a show

The peace conference at The
Hague promises to make a vastly
deeper impression than the earlier
reports indicated. The disposition
to sheer at the cars sincerity is
passing away. The way has been
made clear for the most important
movement toward universal peace
that the world has eve seen. The
solution lies not in universal dis
armament, but IN so adjusting the
relation of the great nations to each
other by providing for international
arbitration that armament will no
longer be necessary. The plan con-
sidered most feasible is for an in
ternational tribunal of permanent
character, to which questions of dis
pute between nations may be sub
mitted when direct diplomatic ne
~gotiations fail to bring satisfactory
results. Even should it take ten
years to so bring the public senti-
ment Of nations to the employment

ament would be possible, q magnifi-

"Is there at the present time a
so-called reform party in South
Dakota? If so, it is about time to
find out where it's at. We wish to
call the attention of all true refor-
mers and reform papers through
out the state to the fact that if
they do not sit down with uncom-
promising force on those who are
now posing as leaders of the party,
they might as we'll organize a mi
litia first as last to defend what
they demand as the rights of Agu-
inaldo, for a man that talks with
his mouth without backing his
words places himself in the same
category as a cur dog that stands
on a knoll and barks at an imagin-
airy something. The sentiments
that Senator Pettigrew, Governor
Lee, Judge Moore, and others are
endeavorlng to ins1ill into the
minds of their constituents are un-
American, vicious, and foreign to
the impulses that govern the
actions of the greatest and most
progressive people on Gods earth.
-Deadwood Independent.
For the benefit of the Indepen,
dent and also the poor, decrepit
old Journal in this city which has
rehashed this fearful appeal for in
formation, The UNION will state
that there is still something like a
reform party in South Dakota.
AS of yore, it still continues in
business at the old stand and like
the '~ssilver craze" and the Filipino
rebellion, it sternly refuses to be
killed off, be annihilated, or stay
buried. 1t is made up of a lot Of
independent fellows, too, who re-
fuse 10 take advice from news.
papers of the opposition as to the
course to be pursued.
AS to the "sitting down. or
such men IS Gov. Lee, Senator
Pettigrew and Judge Moore, TIL
UNION rises to assure the Indep
enden, right at this Point that it is
booked for disappointment. The
republicans of the Black Hills anc
South Dakota have been trying
their utmost to ''sit down" on thu
gentlemen named for some time
past and having failed at every
turn of the game, it is only natura.
that they should tearfully appea
to the reform party for help in the
"sitting down" process. And the
fact that these men refuse to be
sssat upon" is a pretty fair answer
to the independents inquiry as to
whether there is a reform party in
South Dakota. Both these men
and their followers are still in the
field. We might change Mark
Hanna's little telegram of 1896 anc
say: "God reigns and the reform
party in South Dakota still lives
1t is both timely, and appropriate
and seems to furnish the much.
desired information.
The UNION heartily coincide.
with the sentiment Of the Indepen-
dent when il. says that words
should be backed by acts. The
failure to do this is what has caus.
ed the trouble. When McKinle.
declared that s.forcible annexation
would be criminal aggression" w
expected him to support that dec:
laration with ofacial action. Blu
he changed the policy, threw the
principle overheard and when call

tion referred 70 BY the Indepen.
