The frankest as well as the most compre.
hensive and statesmanlike view yet pub

Hon. Richard Olney, to appear in the March
Atlantic Monthly. 1t is marked by Mr..
Olney's power of trenchant and compressed
expression, yet 1t is also moderate and far
seeing The recent movement among In

this paper.

Yankee Thrift.

A guest with an irassible temper at
hotel in a New England town found
that the dinner was not to his liking,
and he had no hesitacy in telling the
waiter so. Finally he threw down his
knife and fork.
"Well," he exclaimed, there's no use
in talking. 1 can't eat this stuff"
'I'm sorry, sir" responded the waiter,
"but you might as well, for you'll have
to pay for it anyhow"

Fire at Mulyane.

Mulvane narrowly escaped exper-
lencing another disastrous fire Thurs
day. About 5 O'Clock In the morning
one OF the teachers in the public
schools went to the school house to
make preparations for the opening of
school. He had no sooner entered
the building than be smelled coal gas.
The air also was filed with haZy
smoke which make it difficult TO see
where the light was not strong. He
ran down into the basement, where
the coal for the furnace is kept, but
was driven back by the stiffling fumes
OF gas. Running down town he
alarmed the citizens and the hand
engine was taken TO the school house
at once.
Fearing a repetition Of the disastrous
hies MulVane has experienced 10 the
past, Chief Walden o. Wichita was
wired requesting him TO bring down
the steamer. Before Chief Walden
had made arrangements for a special
train another telegram was received
announcing that the fire was under
control.
The fire started from spontaneous
combustion and there is no means OF
telling how long it had been smoldel-
ing. There were about 35 tons Of
coal In the basement. When the
volunteer fremen arrived on the
scene the floors Of the building were
very hot, although not burned. The
tire had not yet broken through the
top Of the coal although the lower
part was a mass OF flames. Water
was pumped into the basement and
the coal flooded. As soOD as the gas
was cleared out men began digging
out the coal and throwing it outside
Of the building. Considerable trouble
was experienced is doing this owing
to the intense heat. Tue only damage
will be the loss of the coal, but little
Of which will be saved, as most of it
was coked.
