MR. EDITOR The wheat crop here Is good oats are fine but the farmers have got the blues. We are in the weeds bad. Ii has been raining off and on for six weeks. Old settlers say they never saw so much rain i'll this country before.
 Mr. Editor, those empty wheat heads you don't understand are defeated republican heads from Oklahoma hand them to G. E. Crosser.
 How about Morg Drennen's corn crop, and how are tie horse weeds in il? Has Bill Prince been "snake-bit?' = l heard he had been taking an anti-snake bite remedy.

$23,0OOGOES UP IN SMOKE Disastrous Fire Destroyed Three
 Fine Business Houses. FIRE WAS PROBABLY OF INCENDIARY 0RIGlN Was Discovered in the Building Occupied by John M Martin & Co.,, and Completely Gutted
 Three Fine Brick Buildings, Entail-
 ing g Thousand Dollars Loss.
FIRE WAS PROBABLY OF INCENDIARY (

About 1 o'clock Tuesday morn ing slumbering humanity was rudeIy awakened by an alarm of fire. People jumped out of bed, hurriedIy drew on few clothes and made for the scene of the conAagration at 2:40 gait, to find that the beautiful row of brick buildings on Front street occupied by Griffith & Morrow, Jno. M. Martin $ Co.,, ". T. Maeness saloon and $. C. Beane WIS being literally eu5ted by the ravaging flames.
 John Holderby discovered the fire and gave the alarm He had started down to his butcher shop to open for the early morning trade, and before reaching the business portion of town noticed 8 column of black smoke ascend ing, as he supposed, near the Mag ness saloon. He hurried to the scene and saw the flames were just bursting through the top of the wooden awning in front. Taking in the situation at a glance. he made run for the town bell and gave the alarm.
 When the fire was first diseoy- cred by Mr. EIolderby 1t was burn ing on the outside about the front door of the building occupied by John NJ. Martin &s Co. A plank walk reached to the center of that building, and some fend in human form had doubtless saturated the walk and woodwork of the build ing with coal oil and applied q match.
 A crowd soon gatered after the alarm was given and set to work with 8 desperate effort to save everything possible and prevent thc spread of the fire, and while some were carrying cut and piling up great stacks of goods in the streets from the adjoining stores, others were making an heroic ef- fort to check the onward march of the devastating flames.
 Ine COiulanS were kh0SkeQ rom under the wooden awning that spaned the entire front of the buildings and a number of men climbed to the roof while bucket full after bucket-full of water was passed up and applied to the roof in an endeavor to check the flames.
 Fortunately the roof of the building occupied by 5. C. Beane was kept so wet that that building did not burn. It was badly dam aged, however.

The buildings all joined with no entervening space, which made the fire harder to control.
 \ Journal representative called on each of the unfortunate firms burned out and secured the follow ing statement of their losses:
 Griffith & Morrow; loss, 8, ,000; insurance. $4,5o0
 Jno. NJ. Martin & Co; loss, 4,6o0; insurance, s, 100.
 ". T. AIagness; loss, S4, LOO; in surance, $2, ,250,
 $. C. Beane; loss, $1,5oo; fully covered by insurance.
 ". \. Edwards; loss, &3, ,500; insurance, S1, ,590.
 Griffith t Morrow saved prac- tical!y nothing; John. M. Martin 6 Go. saved absolutely nothing; ". T. Magness saved nothing, but ;. C. Beane was fortunate enough to get almost everything out of his building.
 The building occupied by Grif- filth & Morrow was owned by W. A. Edwards. His loss, over and above insurance, is at least B, 900. The building occupied by John NJ. Martin X Go. was owned joint ly by ". T. Magness and ". A. Edwards. Loss on the building, over and above insurance, s ,000.
 The building occupied by Mag ness saloon was owned by Mr. ]Ia9ness himself and the loss on the building is included in his pre- yious statement.
 The loss on Mir. Beane's build ing is about $70o, while his stock Was damaged at least $500.
 Griffith & Morrow will resume business as soon as q suitable build ing can be procured. Mir. Martin is yet undecided, but will proba- bly resume business. ". T Mag ness will resume business just a& soon as he ean rebuild.
 The burned buildings will all be rebuilt, and work on them will be gin as soon as possible.
 While 1t is hard blow, not on ly to the losers, but to the entire town, and the loss will be keenly felt, it will not do to become dis couroged. People of all classes and conditions of life meet with reverses, and the only thing to do is begin the battle anew. Take up the fight with renewed yigor and go &t 1t with q determination to regain the loss.
