FIRE RECORD.
Blazes Saturday Evening and
Monday Morning.

The feed mill back of the II. s..
Woods machine shop, operated by
Nathan s. Stein was considerably
damaged by fire Monday morning
about i O'Clock. The fire was dis
covered in the northeast corner and
had a good start before the fire de-
partment could get water playing.
The entire building was badly scorch-
ed and will hardly be worth repair
1t was owned by Levi Cook as was
also the engine and the boiler but
these are not much damaged Mr..
Cook carried but two hundred dollar
upon the building and machinery and
this will not cover the loss.
The milling machinery and other
property in the building was owned
by Mr.. Stein and his loss is several
hundred dollars partly insured.
The origin of the fire is uncertain
1t may have been the work of an in
cendiary or some one may have
thrown lighted cigar in such man
ner that the fire was started The
flames caught from the northeast
corner of the building and there has
been no fire in the place since Satur-
day afternoon. Parties who had oc-
casion near the building at II o'clock
and later state that there was no sign
of fire there at that time.
The rear of the building is some
times made a resort for a class of
night providers, and Mr.. Cook thinks
that the fire originated with them
either by design or accident.
Another Fire
Fire was discovered in the l.. L.
Moore property, 1916 Second avenue
west Saturday afternoon about o.
clock. Mr.. and Mrs. Moore were
both away from home and the chill
dren we're the first to give the alarm.
1t is thought probable that the chill
dren, who were playing in the house
accidentally dropped lighted match
on thel bed where several dresses
were lying. The house at once filled
with smoke SO that it was. difficult to
see whatIwas on fire. Finally it was
found and a bucket of water poured
over the flaming bed. The company
was called but the fire was out before
it reached the seen of action. Little
damage was done with the exception
of dress and some books which we're
entirely destroyed. Mr.. Moore hasten
ed home at once, but did not reach
there before the trouble was over.
The children were badly frightened
but otherwise unhurt.

One Of Tom McNeal's new fables.
There was q Kansas man who was in
the habit Of sitting up to desk every
day in the week and finally he told
his wife that he had decided to join
an athletic association for the purpose
Of getting some needed exercise. He
said that II he only had the chance to
expand his muscles by lifting dumb
bells and swinging on the horizontal
bar he would soon feel like q new
man. Then look Of pleasant antici.
patton came into the face Of the wife
OF that man and she said: 81 am so
glad that you feel the need oiexercise.
There are two flower beds out there
by the house that ! need to have
spaded up right away" Then the
man, who really wanted to be good
to his wife, went out on the street and
hired man Of African descent to
come and dig those flower beds while
he hunted up the treasurer Of the
athletic association and fixed up his
membership dues. There seems to be
quite a difference between exercise
and work.

tirely through Lukes' body. Lukes

Washington, May 15.-The care Of
the predetermined and epileptics was
the theme at yesterdays general ses-
sion of the National Conference of
Charities and Corrections. DR.. VIII
liam A. Polglase, superintendent of
the Michigan home for the feeble-
minded and epileptics, contended
that large numbers of criminals, ine-
briates and other offenders are really
eongenital imbeciles, and lifelong de-
tention of all detectives has now be-
come permanent policy at all the
newer institutions. DR.. Arthur c.,
Rogers, superintendent Of the Mime
sofa school for the predetermined,
made an earnest plea for legal re-
strictions ON marriages of "the unfit"
as an important factor in solving the
problem of the degenerate.
c. d. Hillfes, of Lancaster, O., re-.
porting on juvenile delinquents, said
that at the close of the century there
were in the reformatories of the coun-

institutions, except Nebraska, 15,O06
boys have gone forth. While the re-
form schools have returned to society
$4,000 boys whose careers have been
useful, $4,000 have relapsed into
crime.

THE CALLAHAN CASE.
The County Attorney Striving 10 Hold the
Alleged kidnaper Of Young Cudahy
on Charges Of Perjury.

Omaha, Neb., May t5.-The county
attorney is making strenuous efforts
TO hold James Callahan, the alleged
kidnaper Of Edward A. Cudahy, Jr.,
on charges Of perjury, and the attor-
neys for the defense are sparing mo
effort to secure his release. To-day
Callahan will be arraigned before
County Judge vinson Haler on the
perjury charge, and the date for his
hearing will be set. The defense will
ask for q dismissal Of the case and
discharge Of the prisoner, on the
ground that the charge was disposed
Of in his acquittal by jury in his
recent trial for abduction. The
charges of robbery and grand larceny,
still pending in the district court
against the prisoner, will come up
this week and will doubtless be dis
missed, as there is now no disposi-
ton to carry these counts further in
view of Galatians acquittal in his
first trial.

r. H. Faxon, private secretary Of
Congressman Long writes from Okla
homa; "There are thousands and

Comanche country, as was said Of
Rome, and every one Of these roads
has Its complement Of dust-covered

View, in the north is the principal
Mecca. A perfect city has grown up
the past few weeks there. lncursions

where the lineup process is going on.

Tho Wall Of tho Commoner

Aguinaldo has been captured. He
has made careful study Of the pur-
poses and the accomplishments Of the
United States in the Philippines. He
has expressed the belief that Ameri-
can sovereignty is better for his coun-
try than independence. He has taken
the oath Of allegiance to the United
States. His fellow commanders are
surrendering one after another and
swearing loyalty to Uncle Sam. The
enlightened Filipinos everywhere are
rejoicing in the restoration Of peace,
in the hope Of higher civilization and
in the protection Of great and gen.
erous power. They are appreciative
Of the large measure Of personal par
ticipation which they are already CIV
en- in their own affairs, and the prom.
ises for the future are accepted with
gratitude and optimism.
Yet William j. Bryan, through the
medium Of The Commoner, continues
his wall against robbery" Adher-
ence to bis one idea, and the curtail.
ment Of his ground Of argument by
recent events, has caused him to
wholly lose sight Of Spain in the far
eastern transaction. Our possession
Of the Philippines appears to him at
this time merely the result Of a war
upon the Filipinos. He has not ap.
piled his theories to Porto Rico, which
came into the possession Of the United
States In the same way as did the
Philippines. Even in the last presi-
dontial campaign, when he entertain
ed broader views and still had the
support OF Aguinaldo and his follow.
ers, he was unable to make single
proposition regarding the fruits Of
the Spanish-American war that could
DO entertained by rational mind.
II Bryan were sincere his lack Of
consolation would be pitiiul. But as
he is merely political schemer driv-
en- to the last resort Of sentimental
twaddle, without sufficient courage
to acknowledge fault, he is only
ridiculous, kansas City Star.
