This article in the October issue will
describe some of the most striking
strategic measures adopted by presi-
Dental campaign leaders during the
past twenty-five years. concerning
which almost nothing has hitherto
been divulged to the public at large.
The author. doubtless because of the
prominent part he has played in the

unusual originality and merit DIT.
A. Conan Doyle viii write in the Octo-

the general system governing the Brit
ish army. He censures the infantry
severely. and makes some interesting
suggestions as to how the standard of
efficiency may be raised. He brings
forward a startling proposition, whlch
is nothing less than to make an enor-
nous reduction in the size of the army
and TO make radical changes in the
methods Of training. DR.. Doyle was IN
the thick Of all the most important

Farmers Milling Company Lose Their
Building and Machinery.
Daily Aruus of Saturday.
The peaceful slumber of our
citizens. was suddenly disturbed
about 1 o'clock this morning
by the deep, laundering tones of
the fire bell which rang out in
solemn warning upon the mid-
night air. Thoselwho ventured to
the front door could plainly see
the reflection of the angry flames
upon the heavy clouds which
hung over the city, the black lin
ings of which were transformed
into a velvet crimson like unto
the colors of an autumn sunset.
The spectacle was indeed grand.
The pail of darkness which a few
moments before pervadeds. the
city had given way for a twilight,
beside which the electric lights
grew dim and pale. Except for
the peculiar reddish color of the
light the scene on the streets
was like unto that of the early
morning, while still the sun
was hidden behind the Eastern
horizon and yet the light from
which could be plainly seen in
the Eastern skies, leaping from
hill top to mountains and pushing
back the vale of darkness across
the Western horizon.
! Such we're the scenes that
caused hundreds of our people to
leave their coy couches and ven-
ture out GA the street at that
hour Of night to find out the loe
cation Of the fife and the amount
of damage. Some even saw the
light and came out before the
alarm sounded, therefore wher
