Justice Jerome went with his campaign
work yesterday with his usual energy. In spite
of the fact that he had been warned on Tuesday

saloon. They escaped. but McEvoy said he
knew them as members of gang controlled by
Little Tim" Sullivan, and he would try to
have them arrested. He obtained four warrants
yesterday at the Centre-st. court, but up TO
late hour the police had not succeeded in serv-
ing the warrants.
A representative OF Assemblyman Sullivan said

saloon and that II had been put UP job on
the part of McEvoy to have the men make
disturbance in the place.
Police Commissioner Murphy said yesterday:

He alluded to Tim" Sullivan's remark that some
OF the fusion watchers in his district might have
TO be taken away in ambulances on Election Day.
The Justice said that ample provision had been
made for a contingency of that kind. and hnted
that perhaps the ambulances might be needed by
the other side.

Texas Oil Fire.

Beaumont, Texas, November % -
The most dangerous FIRE since the
discovery of the oil field here, occur
red late yesterday, and for time it
was thought the field was doomed to
destruction. Plumbers working on
pipes built small fire several hun
dred feet north east of the Exporter
Land and Pipe company's mill. on
the north east of the field, for the
purpose OF making connections. The
fire spread in the oil soaked grass
and soon got beyond control, threat
ening the great forest of Derricks of
the Hogg-Swayne syndicate. Every
FIRE on the field was extinguished in
the boilers and every rig was shut
down and the population of the field
turned out to fight the flames. For.
tunately and almost miraculously the
men succeeded in staying the flames
within twenty feet Of the nearest
derrick, and finally extinguished
them.

seem to appreciate fully the extent
to which crops are reduced this year.
Already there is reported destitution
and suffering Ir the spring there
was urgent demand for labor but it
was not obtainable for love or money,
now the hands are seeking employ
ment and there is no demand for
them. A prominent farmer in this
section, in estimating the corn crop,
gave it to Us as his opinion that not
enough corn has been made through
this section to supply the demand for
sixty days. He stated that some
farmers made as low an average as
three pecks of corn to the acre while
others did not do even so we'll as
that" This is the cry all over the

Buffalo, n. Y is pretty city. Our
bost treated US to pleasant ride,
showing US the most interesting por-
tons. We saw the Miibarn residence
where Mckinley died, and the house
where Roosevelt took tie oath as
President. Two days were spent IN
the Pan American Exposition, but [
have not time to speak CT the many
exhibits we saw there. We sat one
hour in the Temple OF Music and
listened TO the finest music l ever
heard-a brass band from New York
City. There we saw the rostrum on
which President Mckinley was stand
ing when assassipated. The Hortl-
cultural building containing the finest
products I ever saw. MINNESOTA
seemed to excel in the apple Industry.
When viewing this exhibit, l was ap
preached by gentleman, it's manager,
who greeted me with smile, taking
me to be United States Senator
from his State, and who seemed
somewhat disappointed when I told
him I was simply a layman from
away down in the old Palmetto
State, and I never expected to be
a United States Senator.
One day was spent in visiting the
worlds greatest cataract-Niagara
Falls-twenty-6ve miles north of
Buffalo. An hours ride on a trolley
car along the Niagara river landed us
there, and here We beheld in breath
less gaze the most wonderful and
awe inspiring scenes in the world.
People come from all parts of our
globe to visit this wondrous spectacle
of nature. Just at the falls proper,
Niagara river is divided by Goat is-
land A bridge spans the Ameri'
can side, afordiDg passage to this
island, from which, from its lower
border banging over the falls, great
crowds of visitors 60 up to slender
iron railway just on the brink Of the
precipice to look down beneath where
pours in laundering tones fifteen mil
lion cubic feet of water per minute
nearly two hundred feet below, pro-
ducing a mist adjacent thereto in
which. just below the falls, is always
a rainbow when the sunshines there
on. For few hundred yards below
the falls the water is said to be $50
feet deep and the banks $50 feet
high on either side. Here in the per-
perpetual misty rainbow region is a
little excursion steamer-the Maid
of the Mist-plying on which pas
sepgers are provided with water
proof suit for the misty voyage. They
can alight and walk behind the water
fall on the American side if they 80
desire. Not far below the falls we
walked across the Niagara on
bridge 1872 feet above the water, over
into Canada where We enjoyed
sumptuous dinner seated where We
could get a splendid view of the falls
from the Canadian side.
I find that I am making this arti-
Gle too lengthy, 80 dear readers. I
must leave you now in my imigins-
tion while away up in Canada. Per-
haps, if the good editor will forgive
me for consuming so much space. I

return home, sometime in the future.
