Another Disastrous
IillhiiarI Fire.

Once again the dirty, villainous
work Of the FIRE bug has brought
destruction and ruin TO our other
wise quiet and prosperous town,
and destroyed two Of the largest
aud most up.to date business houses
in this part Of the state. The resi-
dents OF our town were awakened
on Friday morning at s O'Clock by
the fire alarm, and responding read
lily, found the magnificent brick
dry goods store Of Mr.. {. Schaefer
enwrap, IN flames from within, and
the fiery tongues licking out an
gfily from every opening. To save
any Of the contents Of this store
was impossible, aud no effort was
made. Attention was then turned
TO removing the goods from the
grocery store Of NJ. w. Brown, q
respected colored merchant Of or
town, aud also from the Hardware
store Of Mr.. G.. A. Weitlin; some
OF these goods were saved-bolh OF
which were Ia frame buildings. The
losses are approximately as follows:
G. Schacfers loss So, 900.
Insurance, Ia,ooo.
G. A Wetslin, loss 10000.
Insurance, 1000.
| NJ. w. Brown. loss 800.
TO add to the seriousness Of the
conAagration il will be remembered
that on Nov. aud 1898, the store Of
Mr.. schaefer was destroyed by fire
with a loss Of $4,000. and OH April
IN, 1900, Mr.. Victims store was
destroyed with a loss Of $o,o 600 and
he sustained losses III the fire In

previous fire.

KANS. LEGISLATURE
An Opening of a Special
Session Today
Called by the Late Flood Governor
Bailey Will Oppose Any Appropria-

Topeka, Kans.. June Ex-Governor
Bailey said tonight that his message
to the Legislature would not exceed l.
200 words. He declined to give an in
timation about its contents. The spec
ial session will convene tomorrow.
The governor is using his influence
against the plan TO appropriate n half
million dollars of any other sum to
the flood sufferers. He believes an ap-
preparation is not necessary and ii Is
his opinion that an appropriation
would result in harm rather than good.
Pro-rated among the sufferers the
money appropriated would not go far.
a few dollars to each family. No fam
lily would receive as much as it ought
to have to relieve its distress and all
would be dissatisfied. That is the gov
ernor's notion of the matter. He would
have the legislature pass the necessary
acts to enable the counties and cities
to rebuild bridges to relieve their peo-
pie who are In distress and to strength

DEFENSE OF THE DEWEYS
Whoever Killed the Berrys Were
Acting in Self Defense.

Topeka. Kans., June 23.-The line of
defense that will be made in behalf OF
Chauncey Dewey and his associates
will be that whoever did the shooting
that killed the Berrys acted in self de-
fense. It is not admitted that either
Dewey or Wilson or Mcbride, the three
who are under arrest, fired the shots
that were fatal. In fact, it is alleged
that the only one whom the Berrys
themselves claimed fired a fatal shot
is Mcbride.
Not particle of evidence was in
troduced in the preliminary against
Wilson," said Senator Hessin, in dis
cussinE the evidence. Roy Berry tes-
titled that he saw Dewey fire the shot
which struck him in the mouth. Beach
Berry testified that Mcbride fired the
shot which killed his father. and he
says he also saw Wilson fire a shot
But it did not hit anybody That is
the substance of all their testimony as
TO the shooting, so that there was no
positive evidence against Wilson and
even taking Roy BerTy's statement as
true, there is no evidence against
Chauncey Dewey on the charge OF
murder.
The Deweys We're harrassed by the
Berrys on every hand. and will have
no difficulty in clearing themselves OF
the charge of murder"

Murphy. armed with a warrant for Nc

prisoner. The chief Of police refused

value $1,000 per share), is being or
ganized to purchase ard operate a
group of gold mines near Phoenix
whose substantial value has just been
demonstrated. The stock is limited and
has all been placed, but as the enter
prise is of particular interest TO Phoe-
nix business men (from whom all sup
plies used are being purchased, 1850
shares at $3.50 per share have been set
aside from the company's treasury for
sale in Phoenix.
The conservatism of this proposition
must be self-evident. Under ordinary
methods such a property would be
foated on Il million dollar capitaliZa-
ton. Instead of spending large sums
for guady pamphlets, agents commits
sions, "secretary's salaries" etc, the
entire receipts from this sale of stock
will be used in purchasing mill, con-
