To ERECT A BRICK
Mccormick Harvester People
Decide on Their Structure.
WILL COST $4,000
Mr.. S. D. Porter Makes Ar
rangementS in Chicago.

Mr.. S. D. Porter, manager Of the Nc
Cormick Harvesting Machine company,
returned yesterday from Chicago, where
he has been for a week or more in con-
sultation with the Chicago Office people
in regard to the building Of the McCor-
mick building in this city.
The result of the meeting in Chicago
| is that the construction of a four-story
pressed brick building will be commenced
on the lots on East Douglas within the
next month or so. The structure will
face the avenue on the south and viii be
75x140 feet The lower floor Of the build
ing will be used as the show rooms. The
general Offices will be on the seond floor
and the two upper floors will be the
ware rooms for the machinery of the Nc
Cormick people. The cost Of the build
ing will be $4,000.
Some time ago the McCormicks pur-
chased lost on East Douglas avenue. just
| east of the Santa Fe tracks, on the north
side Of the street. for the purpose Of
erecting a fine building for their pur-
poses in this territory. Owing to some
other matters the project did not get
farther along than the purchase of lots.
People wondered why the building was
not put up. but the Mccormick people
were holding off on other reasons than
those that Wichita people tried to sur
mise.
The need Of the new building is evident
to those acquainted with the business of
the Mccormick people in this territory.
Last year they had three large ware
houses in the city and then they were
crowded for room. One of the houses
was large brick on the Santa Fe known
as the Wichita soap factory. Another
was the power house on the Missouri Pc
cific, and the third, the Exton warehouse
BY the use of the new building the Of
fees now in the Sedgwick block would
be taken to the new structure The ware
rooms would be compact and the needs Of
the business more carefully met than can
be done otherwise. Mr.. Porter, the man
ager, says that the erection OF the build
ing IS more for the taking care of the
present business of the McCormicks than
for any new business of the present time
The matter of securing the materials
for the building will be taken up and the
contracts closed as soon as possible. 1t
is probable that the building will cost
more than first estimated, as a number
of ideas will be put in use.
One Of the features will be large ele-
vator. 1t will will be the largest elevator
in the city and will be used entirely for
the Transporting of the heavy machinery
-
er one at the front of the building. but
this will be for the use Of employees and
in the handling of light STUFF.

B. & o. Wreck.

A serious wreck occurred on the B.
G. o. at Kings mines SWITCH east of
the city at 9:03 last night.
Freight train No. 92 was going east
at good rate of speed when 1t struck
the switch point, which is supposed TO
have been turned. the engine and
first four cars passed over the switch,
but when the fifth car struck the
switch it started up to the mines and
was followed by ten others before the
train could be stopped,and eleven cars
were piled up in an indescribale mass.
The wreck train was called out but
it was seven o'clock this morning be-
fore the track was cleared.
Passenger train No was de.oured
ever the Marietta division OF the
Pennsylvania system, after setting off
the mail and dining cars, which were
picked up by train No. 1O6, and left
here about seven O'Clock this morning.
No one was reported injured-Cam-

Government Armor Plate Fac
tory.

Captain Robley D. Evans, Of the
navy, while in Chicago yesterday, was
interviewed on the progress that is
being made ON the building of the new
battleships for the navy, and gave out
some valuable information for those
who are advocating government COM
petition with private enterprise in
manufacturing. Here is what he said
when asked as to the progress Of work
on the ships;
There is delay because of the aTmor
plate matter, We are not getting ar
NOR plate for the new vessels. Con-
gress has set a limit of $500 on the
price 1t will pay the platemakers a
ton. Now the armor plate manu-
facturers are not IT, the business for
their health. Their plants are now
running to their fullest capacities
manufacturing plates for foreign pow
ers at $500 ton. Naturally they re-
fust to make plate r US at $500. l do
not believe that the government
should establish an armor plate man
ufactory of its own. Aside from the
fact that the government hasn't any
right to go into the manufacturing
business, it could rot make plate for
less than $1,000 a ton The forging of
steel ingots is exceedingly precarious.
A large portion of them contain de-
fects which insult them for armor.
Now, a great plant ike Carnegis's can
employ such lngots in manufacture OF
other things with practically no fur
ther cost than the added labor. But
defective ingots in the government
plant would be practically dead loss,
and therefore don't think the plates
would cost the government dess than
81, 900 a ton.--Colunbus Dispatch.

Asa Scott's Trial.

The trial of Asa Scott fer burglary
will require several days, although at
the former trial it was disposed of in
less than two hours
There is a disposition on the part if
the attorneys TO prolong the case as
much as possible, and it is dragging
along very slowly. Countless objec-
tions are made by attorneys for the
defense, who take exceptions to the
rulings.
This afternoon half an hour was lost
waiting for a witness. When the wit
ness arrived and the court was ready
to resume business the attorney for
the defense asked that the jury be
taken to the hotel in order to view the
room in which the alleged offense was
committed.
Thus another half an hour was lost
and the court, jury and officers were
compelled to make the trip through
the storm.-Sentinel

Exciting Steamboat Race.

One of the most exciting occurrences
that has taken place on the Ohio river
in this vicinity for several years
transplred about 10 o'clock this morn
ing,
The Valley Belle and the Duffy were
coming full tilt for this point on their
way south, and wheh they had reached
just beow the poln. of Meals island,
the steamers opened up in race, the
two boats belching huge billcws of
ebony clouds in their efforts to get
away from each other
The Valley Belle was on the Ohio
side, and the Duffy on this side of the
river. Finally, after they had gotten
under full headway they came togeth-
er, guard against guard, and held their
places for fifteen minutes.
BY this timo the crews of both boats
had become worked up to such a pitch
of excitement that their anger got the
best of their common sense. Getting
as close to each otner as they could
without going off their respective ship
board territories they began hostili-
ties ,curslng, swearing and shaking
fists at one another. One man of the
Valley Bellies crew became so enraged
that he drew a revolver and fired at
the fireman on the Duffy, but fortu-
nately missed him. Then one of the
Duffy's crew got hold of an ak and
made an attempt to sink it into the
head of one of the opposite crew.
The passengers on both boats be-
came frightened and left the scene of
the affair that had started out with
the appearance Of little lark in the
shape of a steamboat race, but locked
as though it would end in murder
The dangerous state of affairs kept up
until the two boats got close te the B.
& o. bridge, when the Duffy walked
rapidly away from ner racing adver-
sary. The heavy wind which was
blowing at the time blew the Duffy
against the wharf as she rounded in
and slightly wrecked her.
The affair is without parallel in the
local history of the Ohio river, and it
was undoubtedly only an accident that
some one was not killed, as the fight
reached such proportions that the
crews CT both boats deserted their sta
tions to take part in 1t, and only need
ed leader ia precipltate bloody en-
counter.
Legal action will probably be taken
in the matter, and if Sc some one will
have to answer bafore the federal
court for endanger'ng the lives Of
passengers on the two boats.-Journtl.

ASAD CASE
Mr., D, c, Larcomb Suffering From
Temporary INSANITY

The many friends Of Mr.. d, c. Lar
comb will be shocked to learn that he
is suffering from nervous prostration
and temporary insaflty. He has been
in this condition since Thursday, but
the matter was kept quiet until last
evening, when he became violent and
was taken to the Sheriff's office where
he remained until he became quiet
Mr.. Larcomb is train dispatcher for
the B. & o. S. w. and T. & o. C. e.
railroads and has been a resident of
this city for several years,
Less than a year ago he was forced
to quit work on account of i'll health
brought on by overwork and worry
and for six or seven months he was on
vacation, part Of the time being spent
at sandusky and other lake points.
Last fall he was able to return to
work, but his health soon failed and
he has worked only at intervals since.
Last week he was called to Upper
Sandusky by the death Of his father,
and the trip and grief over the loss of
his father probably fastened the at
track of nervous prostrdtion from
which he is suffering He is violent at
times and the service Of two attend
ants are necessary +, take care of him.
Mr.. Larcomb has wife and fanny
and his condition is a source of grief
and worry to them. They reside on

A Klondike Editors Exper.
ience.

David William Semple, editor and
proprietor of the Dawson City Sunday
Cleaner, suddenly quit the publication
Of the paper in the Klondlke capital,
and appeared in Skagway after an ex-
citing record-breaking race from the
Canadian authorities. Not two months
ago Semple was fined $1,000 in Dawson
for contempt OF court on account of an
article published in his paper. He was
in Jail 4S inmates until the fine was
paid. The day after his release he
issued two warm extra publications OF
the Cleaner and ag tin aroused the ire
of the court. A second summons was
issued for him, but he made moccasln
tracks, and is now IN Skagway bound
for Victoria to appeal the case and to
Seattle to resume the publication of
the Cleaner.
Ten days and half is the time
made from Dawson to Skagway by
Semple, and 1t is the record time over
the trail this winter He travelled
with dog teams to Caribuo. There he
left the animals and walked every foot
of the remaining diEtance to Skagway
in the brief interva: of 10 hours.
"Ah, but l was tickled,' said Sem
pie, when l got under the dear old
stars and stripes on the White Pass
Summit"
Semple left Dawson hastily 20 days
ago. After arranging few personal
and busines sdetails, the day previous
to the date set for his second appear
ance before Dugas, he started at noon
down the Yukon ostensibly to reach
the American side at Eagle City. Co
ing some 26 miles, he. doubled his
track and returned to Dawson at midi
night the following day, remaining in
seclusion with tried and faithful
friends for over week and in daily
communication with the barracks and
knowledge of what they were doing

Mile with feet and hands frozen, and a
vigorous search by the officers who
FASTENED in pursuit. While this was
going on down the river Mr.. Semple
was speedily making his way to Amer
lean territory via the White Pass and
after a successful and speedy trip of
ten and half days, covering the dis
tanceprincipally at night, he arrived
in Skagway at cne o'clock p m. Sun
day after numerous exciting escapes
from Identification by the police and
trail travellers at roadhouses and on
trail. The Sunday afternoon of his
arrival in the land Of the Eagle bird
he visited at the social session of the
lodge of Eagles in Skagway.
Mr.. Semple says that in Victoria he
will lay his case before the court of
appeals, and endeavor to have it re-
viewed by the Minister of Justice at
Ottawa. He says the case is likely to
become international before terminal
ed and that it will be followed with

Wheeling Stogies.

The Wheeling Intalligencer gives out
some interesting figures concerning
the stogie industry in that city. For
the benefit of those who are not smok-
ers 1t may be said that stogies are sig
ars that sell -four for FIVE" all the
country over. The Intelligencer says
the stogie is the distinctive Wheeling
product, known the world over, and
everywhere renowned for purity quail
ity and cheapness. The stogle origi-
mated in Wheeling n the old stage
coaching days, and is said to have re-
ceived its name from the type of
coach popuarly known as the con
istoga." The stage drivers would oc-
cupy moments of leisure in rolling
huge and rude smokes" out Of leaf to-
bacco, which they sold at ridiculously
low prices, for those were days when
the Government didn't receive thirty
six cents on every hundred manufact-
ured. Soon the stogie had made its
hcme in Wheeling aLd factories sprang
up all over the city For years it has
fourished, and at the present time full
ly 600 men are employed in the in
dustry.
This is scarcely accurate, for
story that foated around few years
ago gave Conestogs. Pa. we believe,
the credit Of having originated the
stogie. But nevertheless, Wheeling
made the cheap cigar famous, or no
torious, for in some localities 1t is
scarcely tolerated. But, in truth, it is
a pure cigar, with many good qualities
outside of economy.
That the industry is big one, not
only in Wheeling, bat in Plttsburg and
also. is shown by the fig
ures given as the output of Wheeling
last year. The summary, as compared
with the preceding year, is as follows:

Wheeling manufacturers went into
the United States Court in Boston
some time ago and secured injunetions
against manufacturers in other cities
selling their product as Wheeling
stcgies. But this will not help the
Wheeling trade as much as 1t would
appear at first glance. The fact is,
most consumers of stogies ask for
stogies and they are not particular
whether they are made at one place or
ancther.-Commereia Tribune.
