HEAVY LOSS

Million Dollars.

Stockton, Cal. Sept. 29-One OF
the largest fires in the history OF
Stockton started here last evening
shortly after o'clock in the agricul-
tural pavilion, which was totally des-
troyed and three others burned to the
ground with the exception of few
buildings on the eastern side of the
blocks. The approximate loss is a
half million dollars, less than half
insured.
The fire started through plumber
hunting for leak in gas main in
the pavilion. There was a large ac-
cumulation of gas in portion of the
structure, which had been partitioned
off for the convenience of an exhi-
bitor The contact of the gas with
the plumbers lighted candle caused
an explosion and within a very few
minutes the immense structure, which
was erected about i2 years ago, at a
cost of $40, 600 was in flames. Being
a wooden structure it burned like
finder and SO rapidly did the flames
move from one wing of tile structure
to another that the two or three peo-
pie in the building at the time had to
flee for their lives.
A general alarm was turned in, but
before the firemen could reach the
scene the building was doomed. The
entire structure WAS mass of flames
within five minutes after the fire
started and with incredible velocity
the flames leaped across San Joanquin
street to the east and across La Fay.

FOR Boies has gwen no public indications

The democrats Of the third district have
hopes and expectations that Mr.. Boies
will be their candidate, and it would not
cause surprise to learn any day that the
ex-governor will permit the use Of his
name. He has a strong following in
this part of Iowa and if he enters the
race the contest will no doubt be the
most interesting and probably the clos

emancipation Jubilee Celebration.

The Second Grand Emancipation Jub.
lee Celebration is in progress az The
REPORTER goes to press this week. It
opened bright and early Tuesday morn.
ng when the celebrated Buxton Colored
Band Of 81 pieces arrived on the 6
o'clock train. The band is one of the
best in the state and furnished excel
lent music for the celebration. The town
presents q gala appearance, the streets
being filled with fakirs, attractions of
various sorts and two merry.go.rounds.
The shower Monday night cleared the
streets Of dust and the weather is all
that could be desired.
Tuesday afternoon the program was
carried out as advertised, Hon. Samuel
Reed, of Bethany making q splendid ad.
dress in the park which vas enjoyed by
the large crowd which heard him. The
emancipation proclamation was read in
fine style by Miss Cora Campbell, and
Miss Efie Pugh delivered q fine Grafton.
The Hawkeye quartet,e, of Des Moines,
furnished amusement for the large crowd
with their excellent singing. Mayor
Woodland made the address of welcome
and rendered the keys of the city to the
visitors, and we guess they have them
for gambling and skin games of all kinds
fill the streets galore. The response to
the address of welcome was by Hon.
Geo. H. Woodson, the we'll known color
ed attorney of Mchicanok, who was fol.
lowed by Hon. Marion r. Stookey who
delivered a fine address. After the ex-
ercises in the park we're concluded every
body went to the ball park where they
witnessed one Of the best ball games
ever played in Leon, the game being
won by the Des Moines club who defeat
ed the Atchison club by a score of Z to 5.
After the ball game there was a public
cake walk on a large platform at the
northwest corner of the square for q
fine cake, preliminary to the couple
contest which was in progress at the
time THE REPORTER went to press last
evening.
In the evening there was a band con-
cert by the Bxuton band followed by a
vaudeville entertainment at the opera
house by a company from St. Joe, the
opera hall being we'll filled. The players
were not the best in the world, but they
