ment. Ward. when first captured
strenuously denied his guilt, but
closely questioned, finally confessed
He failed to explain. however, how he
came to be engaged in conversation

deavor social at the home of

Theodore Meyer of St. Cloud.
brother Of Paul Meyer of this
city, came here a few days ago
to assist the latter in the man
agement of his laundry bust
ness and unfortunately fell i'll
a few days ago with pneumo-
MIA, and though very low is i'm
proving, we are glad to say.
The father of the boys, G.
Meyer of Colby, Kansas, was

last evening.
Fairmount sustained a severe
fire, Monday morning. The
blaze started in the Royal Rest
aurant. which was a total loss
including a jeweIry store aud
barber shop in the same build
ing; Frank Zillgett lost his
general store; III. Strait lost
confectionery store, restaurant
and barber shop. And the
News office was badly wrecked.
1t seems that the village has a
hand pump, a big town we'll
and a fire company organized
and that these facts saved the
village much loss, for no telling
where the fire would have end
ed, had these preparations not
been had, and yet these articles
of protection were hardly com
pleted. 1t is understood that
other and better buildings will
soon be standing, on the sites
of the present fuins, respec
lively.
Henry Daniels had the mis-
fortune to break his right leg
toward the ankle last evening,
about 7:3O O'clock. 1t SCENE he
had his team in front of the
post office and had gotten his
mail. but did not get seated in
his wagon before his horses
started and threw him out,
breaking his leg square off.
Mr.. Daniels however did not
fall from the buggy till the
horses turned on Fourth street
and had gotten along near to
Sitar & Hupperler's hay scales,
three or four rods from the
starting point, when he fell.
Mrs. Winnie Meeker had hap
pened along and noted the
whole proceeding and immedi-
ately went to the unfortunate
mans assistance. She found
his leg broken square off and
the foot turned up along the
side of the leg, She at once
straigtned out the leg and call
ed for assistance. Mr.. Barrie
came and soon their were
plentyof assistants. DR.. De
vine was called and the patient
was taken to the hospital and
is doing as we'll as could be ex-
pected.

1.-THE other day The Times re-
ceived; an envelope filled with
a lot Of boom matter for the
twine plant at Bismarck, with
the request that it bepublished
free of charge. We have been
wondering why the officials of
that plant should expect the
newspapers to work gratuitous-
ly; wonder if anyone about that
plant is working gratuitously.
We rather suspect not. But
Let us look into this matter {.
little, and possibly may see
why the operators draw good
pay and expect newspapers to
work for nothing i'm formers be-
half. AT a recent meeting of re-
tail implement dealers at Grand

KANSAS TEMPERANCE UNION.
Great Poster Campaign Begun Through
ont the State rs Well a. . Gospel
Temperance Campaign.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 15.-The State
Temperance union has begun a great
poster campaign throughout Kansas,
as well as gospel temperance cam
paign. The poster campaign is to be
carried on by field representatives Of
the union who will go directly from
town to town distributing literature
and putting up in prominent and per-
manent positions from two to half
dozen large posters 19x26 inches in
size.
Among other things which this
poster contains is the following para
graph in prominent type: Every
city and county in Kansas which,
through its citizens or its officers,
winks at the violation of law is fos-
tering anarchy. To strike down the
laws which the people have made is
as serious form of anarchy as to
strike down the rulers which the peo-
pie have elected. In either case the
government is attacked. Every city
in Kansas which is sowing to the wind
must be purged, or it will reap the
whirlwind of disrepute and social and
civic rottenness."

STRICT MEASURE ADOPTED.
Episcopal House OF Delegates Endorses 40.
tiOn Of tho Bishops In Placing . Ban
on Divorced Persons.

San Francisco, Oct. 15.-The house
of deputies of the Episcopal Church
OF America, sitting as a committee
of the whole, yesterday adopted the
proposed canon prohibiting the re-
marriage of divorced s. persons for
causes not arising previous to their
former marriage. The canon was
adopted just as it came from the
house of bishops. The vote stood 1872
for, 1853 against.
The amendment of DIR. Hunting.
ton, OF NewIYork, making an excep-
ton in the case of the innocent
party to a divorce granted on the
ground of adultery, was rejected by
a vote of 1873 to 173.
The result of the vote in the COM
mittee of the whole was reported to
the house of deputies, who will vote
on the matter. The result, how
ever, may not be the same, for in the
house the vote of 80 delegates is re-
quired to carry measure, the d.
vided delegations virtually counting
among the nays.

FLOWERS FOR CZoLGOsZ.
Condemned Assassin of william Mckinley
Not without Frtends-Oniy &c Persons
to Witness Electrocution.

Albany, N. Y. Oct. 15.-Superin-
tendent Cornelius v. Collins will
send a request to Secretary of State
Hay to designate an official repre-
sentative of the government to be
present at the electrocution of Leon
F. Czolgosz, the murderer of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Only 26 witnesses
will be present in the chamber of
death when the sentence is executed
Warden Mead, of Auburn prison, has
sent to Superintendent Collins the re-
quests he has received for permission
to attend the electrocution, over 1000
in all. It was stated at the state
department of prisons yesterday that
statements to the effect that Czolgosz
is in a continuous state of collapse
and that he breaks down and weeps
every time anything is said to him
conce. ming the electrocution are
false.
Since his confinement in Auburn
prison several thousand letters have
been received for him at the prison,
as well as large number of express
packages, containing flowers and
fruit. Neither the letters, flowers
or fruit have reached the condemned
man.
