TWO HOUSES BURN.
Fire Destroyed two Residences on
North Side Saturday Night.
Roth Were Insured.

About o'clock Saturday night
the fire alarm was sounded, o
residence belonging to w. L.
Beard and occupied by Mr.. Baker,
situated north of the railroad,
being in flames. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but it is
thought to have started in the
hall. The front part of the house
was not in use at the time, Mr..
Baker and family occupying only
the back rooms. The flames
spread rapidly and in few min
utes the building had fallen in.
The occupants succeeded III saw
ing about half of the household
goods, the other being total
loss to them as they carried no
insurance. The building was val
ned at $500 and was insured for
$3.50.
The cottage adjoining the Beard
house, belonging TO j. n.
Farquhar, caught soon after the
fire broke out and was also COM
pletely destroyed. 1t was unoc-
cupied but had only been vacated
q few days before. The building
was valued at $800,on which Mr..
Farquhar carried $3.50. insurance.
The fire boys responded as
quickly as possible, but owing to
the distance arrived too late to
save the burning buildings. They
rendered valuable service, how
ever in protecting adjoining
property and worked faithfully
as long as there was danger of the
flames spreading further. 1t was
impossible to make any progress
with the hose carts at that dis
lance and No.2 had to be aban-
doned the boys in charge leaving
it to go to the fire. They sue
ceeded in getting No. 1 to It's des-
tination by attaching it to a
hack, otherwise the equipments
would have been of no service
whatever in this instance. After
the fire boys arrived it was found
that the water pressure was in
sufficient for work and for about
fifteen minutes they we're handi-

ELDORADO GROWING.
The Thrifty Young County Seat Of
Schleicher to Have Large
Hardware Emporium.

Among the prominent visitors
in San Angelo this week was Mr..
Frank Allison, of Ray Il Allison,
Eldorado. The Press learned
that Mr.. Allison's visit was for
the purpose of selecting the goods
for a large hardware and vehicle
stock and kindred lines, such as
windmills, engines and other we'll
supplies, and agencies for other
goods consistent with the trade
served by such an establishment.
Incidentally, it is commonly
understood that this will be an
other link in the already long and
ever growing chain of such bust
ness in which the G. d. G.. Hagel-
stein Company, of San Angelo, is
interested as promoters and
hackers. Mr.. Allison is a splen-
did young man who, by his
already demonstrated success in
business undertakings, has proven
his ability, and by a fine charac-
ter and other strong points estab-
lished strong friendships and
high regard in the section where
he has located. He will put in a
stock at the beginning represent
ing an investment of about $4,000,
which will keep pace with the
settlement, growth and demands
of his territory.

EXPANSION.
San Angelo Business Men Give Prac-
teal Demonstration Of in a
Business Sense.

That San Angelo is firmly es-
tablished as the great CONNER
cial center of this vast western
section of Texas, is constantly
becoming more apparent, for in
all directions our live and enter
prising business men are branch
out. The most recent events Of
this kind, which 1t gives The
Press pleasure to note is the open
ing of n general hardware, vehicle,
windmill, engine and well supply
business, with allied lines at
Ozona, by Messrs j. d. Rawls
and Lee Burdick, of San Angelo.
The Press noted last week that
Mr.. Rawls had gone to Ozona on
business, accompanied by Mr..
Geo. Hagelstein, of the G. IL G..
Hagelsteln Co., and both gentle
men returned last Saturday. 1t
is generally accepted, therefore,
that the new venture herein re-
ferred to, is backed by the G. &
G.. Hagelstein Co., and that
Messrs. Rawls and Burdick will
represent all the agencies con-
trolled in this territory by the
former, and handle all that COM
pany's many and complete lines
of goods. Their opening stock in
Ozona will represent a cost value
of from $4,000 to $4,000, and
will constantly be increased and
kept full up to all requirements of
the growing demands of the Ozo-
ma territory.
A complete observation tour of
the territory to Recovered by the
Rawls IL Burdick business has
been made by parties at interest,
its needs carefully studied, and
temporary location in Ozona Sc
cured. Shipments of stock will
begin at once, and the new firm
will begin serving their trade in
a very short time. It's members
are popular wherever known.
They are men of superior qualif-
cations, of fine character and
recognized integrity, all of which,
coupled with the knowledge of
the substantial backing of such q
house of unlimited resources as
the G. e. Ct. Hagelstein Co., in
sures them success from the
start, and continuous and perpet-
ual prosperity. The good wish
es of the many friends they al
ready have in the chosen scene of
their future business operations,
will be made manifest in the lib
eral and exclusive patronage
which will be bestowed upon
them.

An clubhouse on the school
grounds was destroyed by fire
Sunday night, the origin of which
has not as yet been discovered.
A well known citizen told a
Press reporter that he saw four
boys jumping the high board
fence at the school grounds few
minutes before the fire broke out,
and would shave pursued them
had he had his shoes on. This
thing has occurred previously,
and the juvenile incendiaries' ca

up with the "Corrupt Practice" bill, in
troduced in the House by Mr.. Straus
The bill provides that the amount OF
money to be expended by a car didate
for any State or Federal offiee shall be a
sum not excet ding $50.
The Reform League OF Baltimore came
before the Senators yesterday afternoon
IN the Senate chamber IN support Of the
measure. as well as tx-State's Attorney
Poe, who made an able addiess in sup.
port Of the bill. and as such it was
thought the bill had the entire support OF
the Democratic party, and it was with
considerable surprise this morning that
the adherents Of the measure learned
that there was a movement on foot to
defeat the bill.
The opponents OF the bill were led
by Senator Robinson, who is the recog-
nized head of the Democratic machine
IN the Senate, while President Hubner,
with Senators BRYAN. Moses and Lewis
supported the bill, and would have had
the solid Republican support but for the
speech of Senator Bryan, during which
he stated that "the time have become
such that il is difficult to get a decent
man to run for political Office which
was resented by members OF both sides.
Farther on in his speech he stated
that "the words from a Senator himself,
who stated that it cost him So. 900 to
secure his election to the State LcgisIa-
ture, and that it took SIoo. coo to be cleo
ted Governor of Maryland" This state
ment brought Senator Applegarth to his
feet and the debate became so heated
and personal that Senator Peter arose in
fear of the members coming to blows
Senator Bryan, in closing, stated that as
the Democratic Senates Of 1900 and 1901
bad passed the very same bill, line for
line, and that il would lie with the
present Democratic members of the Sen
ate whether the Democratic party really
wished to purify politics or whether their
position was mere sham.
The bill was finally defeated for want
OF constitutional majority. The Senate
took a recess until 8 o'clock tonight.

taken up as the special order OF The day,
and discussed by the friends and oppo
nents OF the bill, and amendments upon
amendments were made and rejected and
eloquently contended by the members
on both sides OF the questions. The bill
occupied two hours time OF the House
in discussion. Mr.. Brashears, of Anne
Arundel county, moved that further con-
sideration of the bill be indefinitely post
poned. This brought about a renewal OF
discussion and opposition to the motion,
which was lost by yea and nay vote
80 to 4S. The House then took recess
until 4. 80 o'clock this afternoon.
