Quite a Fire.

Tuesday afternoon about two O'Clock
while exercising their team, an alarm
of fire was sent 10 from the third ward
The driver OF the team heard the
alarm and came into headquarters on
a dead run. No time was lost in get
ting to the scene of the fire, one of
Mr.. Sturdevant's buildings occupied
by Mr.. Morgan, fireman on the
Santa Fe, but the flames had gain
ed such Roadway that nothing could
be done to save the building. The
fire boys turned their attention to
saving other buildings near by. A
strong wind was blowing at the time
and nothing but the prompt action
OF the boys saved several other houses
from obstruction.
At least two other houses caught
fire aud were speedily put out by the
department. Some OF the household
goods OF Mr.. Morgsn's were saved hut
the bulk destroyed. No insurance.

chosen words, presented Mr.. Inman
with letter Of regret, and as he
would have no further use for hand
car, he was presented with fine two
seated carriage and harness as token
OF remembrance.
A few ladies we're also present, and
the evening was very pleasantly spent
In music, singing and story telling.
Ice cream, cake and fruit were served
and the evening enjoyed by all. At a

The letter of regret is as follows:
We, the undersigned committee appointed by
the section foremen Of the S. X. Div. No. 2, who
met for the sole purpose of extending to you
our deepest regrets at the knowledge of your
intention TO retire from the service OF the road.
Knowing positively as We do that your resigna-
tion and retirement have been of your own free
will feel it to DO our duty as well as our privi-
lege in getting together and extending to You
our sincere gratitude and thanks for the many
favors and kindness shown us while under your
charge as employees.
For more than ten years you have been our
road master, during which time we have learn
ed to love and respect you, not only as our SUI
peri.or office, but as man and master OF your
profession. You have always taken an interest
our welfare, which we fully realize and APP
precate. We also understand the difficulties
arising during the railroad life OF roadmaster
and know that it is hard proposition for a
man to discharge his duties alike toward his
own employers and the men under his charge,
but we can truthfully say that, while son have
taken the deepest interest in your work for the
company, you never lost sight of the welfare OF
your men and we the representatives of the
entire body of section foremen on the division
above stated, together with your many friends
again extend to you and your beloved family
our best regards and wishes for success health
and prosperity in your new home.

received by You with the same spirit as that in
which they have been written, we remain,
Yours truly,

Putting food into diseased stom-
ach is like putting money into a pocket
with holes. The money is lost. All
It's value goes for nothing. When the
stomach is diseased, with the allied
organs of digestion and nutrition, the
food which Is put into it is largely lost.
The nutriment is not extracted from
it. The body is weak and the blood
is impoverished. The pocket can be
mended. The stomach can be cured.
That sterling medicine for the stom-
ach and blood, Doctor Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, acts with peculiar
promptness and power on the organs
OF digestion and nutrition. 1t is a
positive cure for almost all disorders
Of these organs. and cures also such
diseases Of the heart, blood, liver and
other organs, as have their cause in a
weak or diseased condition Of the
stomach.

Where Are Our Candidates?

Recently we picked up Montgom-
cry county paper and noticed that it
contained ten announcements of can
didates for county offices. The poll
ticians and office seekers IN Montgom-
cry county seem to think the newspa.
pers are valuable medium through
which to reach the people.
Look over the columns of the Neo-
sho county press and count the an
nouncements. There probably are
few candidates in this county. II
there are many they probably don't
think the local papers cut much fig
ure. Either that or they consider the
hand shake and the cigar more po-
tent agency. Possibly they think the
papers will devote few columns to
their interest gratis before the cam
paign is over, anyway-and the pa
pers doubtless will.
We are of the opinion that the
newspapers of the county had better
go to work and bring out few candi-
dates on their own hook. Such a
course might interfere little with
the plans of some. II there are no
candidates for the various county Of
fees it is the duty Of the papers to
notify the people to that effect and
see that some good men are persuaded
to sacrifice themselves for the good of
the county.
We have heard of only three men in
this county, so far, who are willing to
accept a nomination. These are Mr..
Groome of Chanute, Mr.. Garvin and
Mr.. jeffrey of Erie. We personally
know that these three men are worthy
of the offices they seek and merit the
earnest and impartial consideration
of their party, and We most heartily
commend them.
