The damage to the building will not
be serious, yet it is considerable. The
furniture and fixtures in the hall suf-
fered considerably. Morey & Winfield,
in the room below, were deluged with
water. and their stock of flour, feed
and seeds pretty well dampen' d down
They protected everything as best
they could, so their damage will not
be serious.
Mr.. Knapp, who has his office tenn
pOrarily in the adjoining building,
moved his stock and good many fix

We are informed that all losses are
amply couered by insurance.
Defective pumping and careless
ness in leaving fire in the stove IN the
hall, were the causes of the fire.

WHAT EMPORIA MISSES.

There are times when the Gazette
thinks that Emporia is pretty good
sort of town. 1t is quiet town and
news-which is frequently construed
to mean the bad doings of good
mems scarce and occasionally the
Gazette is pretty dull. But still the
Gazette believes in Emporia, and
except at rare intervals, when the
doings of other towns are attracting
the world, the GAZETTE brags i'm
moderately about the town. But
when other towns display their at
fractions the Gazette sometimes
weakens on Emporia and wishes it
could be little more enterprising,
a little more up-to-date, little less
goody goody, little more m etropol-
itan. Now here is an item from the
Leavenworth "Times, (which makes
tie Gazette sigh for the enterprise
and character of Leavenworth.
The "Times, is logical defender
of open saloons and has dealt
the prohibition cause some terrific
blows, but none more stunning than
the one contained in the following
.imple unvarnished statement of fact
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1901-02-15
TOPEKA AROUSED.

Our capital city has at last be-
come aroused to the fact that she
is a disgrace to the state in the line
of lawlessness, instead of being a
model city in which all laws are en-
forced.
The law-abiding citizens of that
town have arisen in their might and
notified all joint keepers that they
must close at once, and giving them
till noon today to ship out all IN
toxicants and paraphernalia for car
rying on their unlawful traffic. They
also notified all property owners,
in whose holdings joints were run,
that their property was in danger if
the nuisances were not abated. This
means business and is but forerun-
ner of what will happen in many
other towns of the state.
The people supporting the move
in Topeka are not lot of irrespon-
sible cranks but many of the best
citizens and most responsible busl-
ness men of the city. 1t simply
means that the joints of Topeka
must 20, peacefully if they will, but
forcibly if they must.
AS THE TIMES remarked last week,
s'the fight is on" The prohibitory
law must be maintained or taken off
the statute books. The only way to
test the merits of any law is to rig
idly enforce it, then if not what the
people want they will soon change
it. The prohibitory law has never
been tested because never enforced.
When once thoroughly enforced
all over the state, the people can
Judge of the merits or dement's OF
the law.

On the nth St. Louis had quite
a ballot box riot. A primary cleo
ton was being held in one of the
wards when trouble ensued between
the factions. Soon shooting com.

When the smoke had cleared away,
three men were found to be slightly
wounded and the ballot box stolen.

KANSAS CITY BUSINESS MEN

The committee of Kansas City busi-
ness men on their return trip from
Texas and Oklahoma, made a short
call on the business men of Chanute,
last Saturday.
Preparations had been made by the
people of Chanute to receive them in
the opera house and have a season OF
speech making, but the tourists sent
word ahead that they would only have
a half hour in the city and preferred
to spend that time in visiting among
their customers.
When the special pulled into the
depot a large number Of Chanute's
business men were on the platform
ready TO receive the visitors. They
we're escorted about the city, each to
the offices OF those engaged in his
special line.
The half hour flew all too quickly
and before the visitors were half
around the warning whistle notified
them the time was up and there was
a general skurrying for the train.
The Kansas City boys are jolly,
GENIAL set aud fast renewed old ac-
aud hastily made new
ones. Chanute only regrets that their
stay had to be so short.

The Philippine insurrection seem:
to be at last falling to pieces. Many
of the insurgents are coming in vol
unfairly and surrendering while many
are being captured in the frequent
skirmishes that take place. The
loyal Filipinos are organizing them
selves to assist in driving out the re-
bells and restoring order.

Yesterday about o'clock the Odd
Fellow Block was noticed to be on fire,
The fire boys aud a big crowd were
soon on hand. Smoke was coming out
at every crevice, but no flames were
visible.
On breaking into the odd Fellows
hall IL was found to be filed with
smoke and the odor cf burning pine.
IL was soon discovered that the fire
had caught from the stove, burned a
hole through the floor and was burn
ing up along the joists to the roof in
a pretty lively manner.
The fre boys soon knocked holes 10

What Empora needs is a few
wideawake citizens who will open
saloons, start a few disreputable
houses, maintain a few gambling
rooms, establish a saloon vote, and
show the old fogy, goody-goody,
moss back element what difference
a few hell-pots boiling in the mar
ket place make in the town.

by the local reporter of the Leaven-
worth "Times:"
What woman will do for the
man she loves was illustrated in a
striki manner by little incident
that occurred yesterday afternoon on
North Seventh street. A man sOdden
and stupid with drink was clinging to
a lamp post helplessly. He was about
so years Of age. with hair disheyelled,
plainly dressed, and was not pleas
ant sight. His eyes were wild and his
speech was maudlin aud incoherent.
Some small children, who were coming
hume from school noticed the drunk.
en- man as they called him, and clust-
cred in little group across the street
and watched his clumsy movements
with morbid curiosity. Beary eyed
the man looked over at them; they
were watching him and he knew 1t
He swore at the little ones in thick
throated foul curses and started after
them In stumbling fashion. His
support was taken from him and he
fell down sprawling on the ground.
The smallest of the children ran fright
ened down the street. The boldest of
the boys jeered at the discomfort OF
the old man. A driver on a delivery |
wagon that was passing at that time, |
yelled and laughed at the funny scene. |
Just then woman came hurriedly |
down the street. She was neatly |
dressed but her face was blanched |
with worry and dispair. She stopped |
by tue prostrate figure: "John" she |
said as she helped the now>Ndirty and
beRrimed figure to his feet. The man
leered at her, beast like, and prattled |
something unintelligible. 1t was
with difficutlty that she led him along.
The bold boys stopped their jeeriug.
As the couple slowly snai.ed along
Seventh street toward Mama, they
attracted attention from several
houses. The man attempted to hang
back and lay down; his wife pulled
him along They passed and were soon
lost to sight over the hill-a drunken
prattle of man and faithful wife"
The Gazette feels that by this
foolish, blue stocking policy, the
short haired woman and the long
haired men of this town are depriv
ing the school children here of
liberal education. What the town
needs is open saloons such as Leaven
worth has; there are not enough
drunkards made in this town. The
crop of scarlet women made from
Emporia girls who witness the hard
ening antics of the town sot, is too
small. There are not enough brok-
en- hearted wives here, and nothing
adds so much to the standing of
town as fifteen or twenty girls who
are known to have married boys who
are going to hell by the whiskey
route. Low taxes made by the sa-
loon license and paid to policemen
and jailers, who take care of the
boys whom the saloons have besot-
ted, should certainly be secured for
+
Mothers who have worked long
nights with baby boys, fathers who
have sacrificed and pinched to give
boys an education in Emporia have
no rewards for their labor. Empor-
ia boys grow up plain, matter of fact
business men. The fun of letting
the boy in after midnight, sour with
the dregs of debauch, sodden, silly
and vile, is denied to the parents of
his town, who are harassed by the
knowledge that the boys
may be at the public library having
40 fun at all. This is shame II

Ms. Nation mel with a chilly !

Mrs. Nation met with chilly re-

she spoke. She has returned to

CARRIERS Spanish Grammar for the
use OF schools and colleges has recently
been published by the American Book
Company OF New York, Cincinnati and
Chicago. The author is Prof. Samuel
Garner, Pm. D., OF this city, recently
professor OF Modern Languages at the
U. S. Naval Academy.
The grammar gives. in clear and con-
else outline, the essential features of the
language. The author combines, in an
unusual degree. an intimate knowledge
of the Spanish language and of its idioms,
rarely found save in a native Spaniard,
with the pedagogical devices and the
insight into the needs OF American stu
dents which only an American instruc-
tor Of long experience can possess. The
union OF these two features places the
book in the front rank of practical work
ing textbooks.
1t has received the appreciation of the
best educators throughout the country,
and among the opinions Of critics as to
its excellent conception and execution as
a text book, are numbered the favorable
criticisms of professors of languages OF
leading colleges as universities all over
the United States.
