What the Allen County Papers Have
to Say For the Good of the
General Public.

Moran Herald. The Herald regrets
very much 20 know that the hardware
store and lumber yard of S. G. Warner
were closed by the sheriff yesterday
at the direction of Wholesale firm in
Kansas City who attached the goods.
The amount of the bill is compare
lively small and it Is to be hoped the |
matter can be satisfactorily adjusted |
so that the closing of the business will /
be of short duration,
Moran Herald: H. B. Smith, the inn |
plement man, informs the Herald that |
he will begin the erection of a new
building in Moran as soon as the ar
rangements can be made so as not to
interfere to any great extent with his
business. The building will be made
of solid brick with thirty foot front
and will be eighty feet deep by sixteen
feet high and will be one story.
DaHarpe News: 1t is probable that
street railway will be built from lola
to La Harpe in the near future but the
plans will have to be modified ma
terially. For instance, it will be
cola day when LaIIarpe will give it
bonds of 5000. This amount, we un-
derstand, is asked. Mr.. Crouch also
says the fare will be ten cents: double
that charged by the Missouri Pacific
at the present time on the "piug"
train and the Company is not anxious
to discontinue the "pug." In these
particulars, at least, u change will
have to be made to make the venture
a success. There is no serious obiec-
tion to granting a franchise through
the city, at least we have heard of
none. But the public road should not
be used by the street railway for a
right of way.
LaIIarpe News; Harry Brister and
VIM. Huber are probable candidates
for the Office of sheriff, and j. r. Tired
ways friends are booming him for
county recorder These men are all
good strong men and are well quail
fled to fill the offices they seek.
The Humboldt Herald thus reports
an accident which befell the father OF

Mckinley was coming downstairs he

were broken but he was quite badly

stand behind him no longer than while he continues to act along the lines of reason. When he begins to feel that he knows more than all the people those who clothed him with authority will take the first opportunity to re duce him to a place among the ordi- nary mortals and pick up some one who will seek to legislate after the fashion of man representing free men rather than one who appears on behalf of a community of serfs. If consolidation be q good thing and the electors of Waterbury. want it. all right, but. on the contrary, if in the opinion of a majority of the people. the change is not desirable, that should be the end of 1t for the present, and the man who says that we should not have an opportunity to say I'yes' or mo" on the question has rather pc culiar notion of what constitutes citi- zenship in q republic like the United States. When you get right down to business the people are supreme, and it is q ..darned'' good job for them that this Is true, for if some if our law makers had life berths, instead of be- ing tenants at will,'' they'd lay on the lash and woe betide the man who would look around to inquire the cause of the rawhiding. Let the people. not Mir Lillsy, decide whether we want consolidation or not.

ROASTED TO DEATH.
About Seventy-five Animals Lost
 Their Lives

About Seventy-five Animals Lost
 Their Lives.
 Baltimore, Md, Jan 3l.-With pitiful screams of fright and groans of pain the' seyenty-hve or more animals of all descriptions confined in cages at Franck c. 4Bosrock's Zoo. which was in winter quarters in the old Cyclo- rama building in this city, were roast ed to death last night. Fire. which probably originated from q badly in- sulated electric light wire on the out side of the building, caused the con- hagration, which, in an incredibly short time enveloped the entire struc ture.
 The flames spread so rapidly that 1t was impossible for the attendants to rescue the helpless animals and with the exception of one elephant. one camel, two donkeys and q pack of hounds, the entire herd was lost.
 The fire was discovered at 10:4O D. m., few minutes after the evening performance had ceased. Twenty minutes after the fire was discovered the entire building. which was con- structed almost entirely of wood, was 2 mass of flames.
 MT BoStock estimates his loss on ani- mals at about $4OO.OOO. The owners of the building could not be found last night. but 1t could probably be dupli- cated for $15,0O0 or $2O,O0O.
