Cousins. The apparent Overwhelming odds
in favor of the republicans has lessened
the interest In the campaign and Il is con-
ceded that light vote win be polled, pos
slbly even less than two years ago when
the total was $4,000. The republican state
central committee, however, estimates that
lie vote Will be In tho neighborhood of
$4,000 and that the republicans will have
about 1900 plurality on the State ticket
The democrats do not concede this and
say the plurality Will not be much greater
than $1,000.
There Is an unknown quantity this year.
The prohibition republicans are dissatisfied
with the nomination OF Albert b. Cum
mlngs for governor on account OF his well

all. This dissatisfaction may swell the
prohibition vote to 10000 or more. On
the other hand, Cummings Is likely TO gain
some strength from the gold democrats.
The republicans claim they viii make a
gain OF twenty members Of the general as

MEMORIAL DAY PLANS.
Grand Army Men TO Decorate Graves
and statues.

Not only the graves of those who have
given their lives for the flag but the
statues and monuments of illustrious
Americans will be the recipients of floral
tributes on Memorial Day. The Commit
, tee on Decoration of the Department of
the Potomac, G. A. R, is making extern
sive preparations for the decoration of
statues in the various parks and circles
of the city. b. F. Chase is chairman of
the committee. In previous years it has
been the custom to drape the statues with
flags borrowed from the War Department.
This year that custom will be abandoned
and in place of the striped folds of the
national ensign. the statues will be orna-
mented with wreaths and garlands of
flowers.
For the decoration of the graves of
the thousands of soldiers who lie buried
in the cemeteries about Washington the
: Grand Army of the Republic is sparing
neither time nor expense. At Arlington
| every grave will be decorated with a flag
and flowers. In the other cemeteries the
decoration will be made by various sub
committees appointed for that purpose.
Capt Israel W. stone, Commander of
the Department of the Potomac, has is
| sued orders for Memorial Day as follows:
The 30th of May having been estab-
| llshed Memorial Day and in many
| States. as well in this department,
+! legal holiday, in order that the people
I generally may join in some formal obser-
! walton of the day, all are morally bound
| to do so. Services are held in all the
| cemeteries in and about Washington,
| where eX-soldiers and sailors lie buried.
! and ii is particularly reprehensible and
unbecoming for any eX-soldier to use the
/ time set aside for this special memorial
/ purpose for recreation Of any kind OF in
! any direction.
| "Thirty-three years ago the beautiful
J ceremony of strewing fragrant flowers
and holding solemn service over the
! graves OF our departed comrades was first
/ ordered by that peerless general, John a.
I Logan. then Commander-in-Ch of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. The rules
ana regulations of our order now require
commemorative service on Memorial Day,
and If impressed, as we should be. by
| veneration for the herosm displayed by
those who nave fallen, their unseltish de-
! votion to country. their zeal fortitude,
! and courage, and their great sacrifices
: that the union of these States might be
I perpetuated, we shall make this annual

A COUNTRY HOUSE BURNED.
of an Incubator Lamp Re-
sults DisastrousIy.

A fire. originating in the explosion of
an oil lamp in an incubator, completely
destroyed the house and contents and
many outbuildings on the chicken farm
OF Ernst Gerstenberg, at Suitland, Nd,
yesterday morning about O'Clock. The
loss is estimated at $4,000 and is covered
by insurance. Four hundred ducks and
1000 chickens were burned to death. In
addition to the dwelling house, which was
valued at $4,000. a large water tower and
windmill, fifty incubators, fifty brooders,
pfetely destroyed. Ten horses were saw
ed as was also the stable and its entire
contents, and a machine shop valued at
5000.
The explosion of the lamp scattered
burning oil all over the floor of the incu-
bator house, and by the time the people
oil the farm were aroused the flames had
practically enveloped the building. In an
incredibly short space of time the fire
houses With the assistance of neighbors
the farm hands formed a bucket line from
the water tower and heroic efforts were
made to check the flames. The tower
was soon ablaze, but the efforts of the
volunteer fTemen were not relaxed until
the woodwork beneath the tank was eat
en- away by the flames and it collapsed,
cutting off the supply OF water. Attention
was then directed to saving the machine
shop and stable These buildings were
covered with Blankets saturated with wa
ter obtained from wells on the place, and
a further spread of the flames prevented
by hard work.
