BIG FIRE AT POND CREEK
Livery Barn Burned, With Many Val
liable HOrses--OtherL losses.

Pond Creek, o. T., Oct. 23.-At 1 o'clock
this morning the people Of this city were
ruthlessly awakened by the cry of fire
and the blowing of mill and elevator
whistles, to find the big livery barn Of
S. S. D. HeddIe on fire. Hundreds Of
people rushed to the scene of destruction
in time to get out only a few horses and
buggies. 1t was the fashionable livery
barn Of the town and some of the most
valuable horses and carriages Of the city
were consumed. The heat was terrific
and for a time it looked as though the
entire block of business houses ond two
lumber yards would have to go, but not
far from the big barn stood S. S. D.
Haddle's ironclad double store building.
which served as a check, and by heroic
work Of the populace the progress of the
flames was stopped at this building,
though it was wrecked and considerably
destroyed The Offices of the F. ]. Cen
try Lumber company were burned; loss

$500 above insurance. The Free Homes
restaurant and Criterion saloon also sus-
tanned loss The great Boston Store
moved a good many wagon loads of
goods to the NJ. F. church. thinking it
impossible to stop the progress of the
flames, and sustained some loss.
The entire town might have been de-
stroyed had II not been for the stiffness
Of the night AS it is, it is a CHASTITY

burned recently, and there is strong sus-
picion of incendiarism.

the actions and policy of President Will
lam Mckinley, who. in the performance
Of his duties, and in his policy at home
and abroad, has won the hearty approval
Of not only our own people but all the
civilized nations;
THAT we believe in the policy of ex-
pansion as advocated by the present ma
tional administration, for the reason
that the commercial traveller is the favor
ed child Of expansion and grows and
thrives therefrom:
THAT We denounce the actions of the
one who by his influence and power. Sc
cured Democratic votes in congress to
endorse the expansion and peace treaty,
and now makes political capital Of that
action:
That we advocate and endorse the pol
Icy Of a single gold monetry standard,
and do not believe that the finances of
the United tSates should be entrusted to
the hands Of an experimenting theorist;
That we cannot belize in the political
sincerity Of the man who forced the free
Eiier plank into the Democratic platform
and now declares that the same is not
paramount issue Of the campaign;
That we do not care to see a change
from the present economical and prosper
Gus administration, to an administration
of uncertain and doubtful experiment;
THAT we heartily endorse the actions
Of our delegate to congress, Dennis T
Flynn, in his tireless efforts for the peo-
pie Of the territory. and we promise him
our hearty support in his triumphant re-
election:
That we believe in entrusting the af-
fairs Of our country to the candidates Of
the Republican ticket, for the reason that
past experience shows the Republican
party to have managed cur local affairs
IN the most economical and business-like
method"
