Two NIGHT FIRES.
In Different Parts of Town at
About the Same Time.

There were two fires in widely sep
arated parts OF the city between three
and four o'clock Wednesday morning.
The first alarm was for the barn of
Harvey Carr, No. $40 East Sixth
avenue The barn was almost wholly
destroyed and there will be, copsid-
cradle loss of feed and otbeS !
The horses were released a4
burning just in the nick of time, Mr.,
Carr is at loss to undersl and the
cause of the fire and thinks that it
must have been of incendiary origin.
When the fire az Gne Carr barn was
at it's height and the fire company
was busily engaged in fighting the
flames an alarm was turned in for the
grocery store of w. j. Brown, 715
High avenue west next east of the
old John Shannon building The fire
was well under headway when dis
covered and it was with great diff
fieulty that the fire company was
summoned to the place. The run was
about one and a half miles and the
hose team made excellent time across
the city, The building was all a
tiame when the Are was discovered
aud when the fire company went to
work on it it was practically in ruins.
The company did some very clever
work in saving the adjoining build
ings from total destruction.

citizen and farmer Of Mahaska Co.,
a veteran of the civil war and man
who is honored and respected by all
who know him, is candidate for
member of the board of supervisors.
He is a staunch republican and wor-
thy resident of Monroe townshio and
has the right amount of business
ability to protect the county's inter-

Every man on the ticket should be
elected. There is not a name on the
list that should be scratched as every

Governor Shaw paid Major Lacey
handsome compliment in the course
OF his address at Muchakinock. He
said that while at Washington last
winter he found greater orators and
men who talked more than Mr.
Lacey, but when it came down to the
influential men in congress he was
the peer of any. No man in Wash
ington worked more hours or harder
for his constituency, and it would be
loss to Iowa and ashame to his dis
trict not to return him this year with
an Increased majority.

rAcKELEp WRONG NAN.

Mr.. George w. Jones, a colored
citizen of Litchfield, Ills, has re-
ceived letter from w. P. McAllister,
of St. Louis, president of the Afro
American Protective League, making
bid for his influence and vote for
the Democratic party. He received
crushing reply from Mr.. Jones, who
is an ardent Republican. The cor
respondence follows:
M'ALLIsTER's OFFER.
st. Louis, Sept 81, l900.-Mr.
George w. Jones, Litchfield, Ill.,
Dear Jones-This Will inform you
that my Democratic fiends are very
desirous to have you work with me
in the campaign for the next thirty
days. They will make it all right
with you. Now, Jones, there is no
question about our winning. We are
sure to win, and therefore you will
see that the Afro-American will be
properly cared for. Let me hear
from you by return mail. | am very
truly yours,
w. P. M'AILIsTER,
st. Louis, Mo-, Station f.
JONES' REPLY.
Litchfield, ILL.,, Sept. %, 1900 Mr..
w. p. McAllister, President Afro
American Protective League, st.
Louis, Mo. Dear Sir: Your com
munication of the 9th inst in which
the Democratic party, through you,
makes bid for my manhood, my
integrity, my love of country and my
loyalty to the great Republican party,
which has made you and me and
every other Afro American what we
are today, is at hand.
In reply, | have the honor to say,
and "this will inform you" that l
most Indignantly seorn and reject
your nefarious proposition. That /
still place greater value upon my
integeity than the Democratic party
is able to pay, and that, though a
minister of the gospel, as you claim
TO be, the Democratic party cannot
through you, nor the Afro American
Protective League, of which you
seem to be the official head by prom
ising money, nor in any other man
ner, influence me nor any other self
respecting colored man to renounce
he great principles OF Republicanism
and take up with Democracy, Wnlcn
has always been against my interests
and yours, and againss the interests
of the whole country at large.
You say that the Afro-American
will be ''porperly cared for" by the
Democratic party. Well, they seem
to be properly cared for" in North
Carolina and some of the other
Southern states by illegally deprlving
them of the right to vote. And "tbis
will inform you," futher, that the
Afro American would he cared for in
rhe same manner in Illinois If the
Democratic party had the power as
It now has the will, to do so, You
may sell your birthright If you wish,
but "this will inform you" and the
Democratic party that l am not for
sale. Yours very truly. q W. JONES.

When John P. Irish lived in Iowa
he was power in the democratic
party of this state. For several
years he has been a resident of Cali
fornia. He is, and always was, a
sound money democrat, and four
years ago opposed Bryan He is
still opposed to him. On Tuesday he
addressed alarg9 gathering of honest
money democrats at Kokomo,
Indiana, under the auspices of the
local sound money club. Mr.. Irish's
speech was an arraignment of the
fallacies of Bryan, and he urged all
honest democrats to repudiate him
at the polls.

the very men whom you have been

lending aid to those who would enact
legislation which you oppose.
