Presidential Out TOOK.

Two weeks before election, the
newspapers are full o. statements,
straw votes, polls OF commiSteenan
and individua's. all pointing to the
election OF Mckinley and Roosevelt
on Nov. 9th by an cyerlqlfiin;ng
ma; ority. g
The New York Herald's poll OF
that city, made Just lilisits poll Of
1896 which was correct, p'acis the
city at about stand of between
Mckinley and Bryan. The State
outside of Greater New York will
give Mckinley 1905 900 to 100000
majority. Croker claims he vii
carry New York City, but admit,
that he would have to have abo ut
100000 majority there and cut
down Mckinley's majority in the
state to carry the state Tor Bryan.
Without New York Bryan has not q
shadow OF hope, and even ii he car
res New York state Mckinley can
win.
The business men OF New York
City are preparing for another mon.
ster parade as in 1896. Applica-
tions for marching clu bs have pass
ed the number OF 1896, and they
have to limit the number OF march,
ers. They figure now by starting ut
1000 o'clock A. NJ. it will take un-
til O'Clock p. m. for the parade to
pass the reviewing stand. The reg
istration in the city shows gain in
republican wards. All these indica-,
tions have caused the sporting fra
ternity to bet to on Mckinley.
The same men who polled Indiana
and Illinois in 1896, have completed
their poll this year and claim Indi-
ana by $4,000 and Illinois by 1O0,-
900 for Mckinley.
Lie W CoC 10 dnduic fOT Mchtuley
and Roosevelt, and these states that
vent for Bryan in 1896 are surs for
Mckinley in 19O0--in fact some of
item returned two years ago.
South Dakota two years ago,
elected republican congressman by
5000 majority. This was the real
test at that time on national issues.
Since then hundreds OF mel have de-.
clared themselves Tor Mckinley, and
South Dakota is safe for the repsib-
lican ticket by 10000 majority.
Every snr.ace indication points
tn n large quiet vote for Mckinley,
which now refuses to tell publicly,
Hundreds and thousands of people
who formerly voted for Mr.. Brya
DO not care to Tell OF their determine
alton to vote for Mckinley, but the
returns will show their opinion
And with this great tidal wave for
and Roosevelt, Prosperity,
Sound money, practical protection

which was used as a storeroom for
boxes and lumber. At first it was
thought some barrels of rubber ce-
ment had exploded. But after the fire
was extinguished the barrels were
found to be intact. The origin re-
mains a mystery. .
The flames spread so rapidly that
none of the employees on the second
and third floors were able to escape by
the stairway.
The girls employed in the build
ing were on the third floor, and when
the cry of fire was raised they be-
came panic-stricken, and rushed for
the windows, where a general fight
followed in the efforts to get out. The
fremen took several girls from the
third-story front windows while 9TH

of fire escapes.
Alonzo D. Ireson jumped from the
third-story front window and, in fall
ing. brought with him a large sign

story to which three persons were
hanging. This precipitated all to the
sidewalk, and Ireson was instantly
killed. The others escaped with lesser
injuries.
The property loss is about twenty
five thousand dollars. The stock of
