The co1ored people turned out
Tuesday in considerable numbers
to visit the Texas State Fair, it be-

were many visitors from the sur

great social affair. Greetings by
old acquaintance and a renewal
of old friendships was noticeable
throughout the day. The order
was good and an interesting pro-

President R. S. Livinggood, of

surpassed the most ardent expec-
tations of all patriots, and univer-
sal liberty has been established.
The ballet, which is the sign
and stamp of a freeman, has been
conferred upon all through the in
strunentality of this great organi-
zation. To that party the colored
man owes every civil and political
he has ever possessed, or now en-
| Joys. To guarantee to him those
| rights it has added three amend
ments to the Constitution, costing
more in treasure and in blood to
write them in the magma carta of
the nation by ten fold than was
expended to adopt the original

Thirteen years ago the spirit

been buried forever, reasserted it

and it has grown until now it
haunts the borders of Pennsylva-
MIA, Delaware, and West Virgin
ia; and Maryland, a State where
in the colored man constitutes
only about one-ffth of the entire
population, and aggregates only
about 10000 voters. The Demo
cratic party has declared for the
Mississippi plan. To hesitate now
to stand in serried and unbroken
ranks for the Grand Old Party

Fire Reflections.

Last Friday morning Butler had an
exhibition of how the $50 or so young
men, who compose our fire department,
will Jump from their beds at any hour,
drag heavy carts and trucks distances
ranging from one square to one mile,
work for hours, ruin their clothes, en-
danger their health and risk their lives
because they are fremen, and obligated
themselves, on joining their respective
companies, to all the duties of a fireman,
with the accompanying risks, voluntar-
lily. They are not paid to do it, they
do not have to do it, but they do it any
way, and as thoroughly and more mob
ly than the paid men of the large cities,
without pay or reward. simply for the
benefit of his neighbor and his town.
That is the work of the volunteer fire
man. Bntler may we'll be proud OF her
firemen, and, generally speaking, of her
fire department in every way. There
are plenty of hose, plenty of ladders and
hooks, and plenty of carts and trucks to
haul them with, but Butler is getting
too big for human motive power to
fires.
The volunteer companies will, with
out doubt, stay in service for years TO
come, but every man who grabs hold OF
a cart and runs half mile knows he is
not worth very much at the finish. we
believe all the firemen will unite in say
ing we need team of horses for the
Goodwill's big ladder truck and the
hose carts. And with the horses will
be needed couple of men to care for
them and get them ready for travelling
when an alarm comes in. Many towns
the size of Butler keep fire horses and
pay fire chief and few men all the
time, and all the volunteer men during
hours of service. Butler pays Chief
Burckhalter, land he is worth paying),
but that is as far as the needs of the
town have carried the paying business
heretofore.
A good, reliable alarm system is also
needed. but with telephones everywhere
through town it is not so much mat
ter Of locating the fire as of getting t.
it.
Regardless of all statements to thu
contrary, any fireman will say that the
water pressure at Fridays fire wa
good Water was thrown INTO th'
third floor of the Armory, the attic O
the Central and on the roofs of th'
Main street buildings. That pressure
will reach the highest points of an,
building in Butler except the Butle
County National Bank building, th'
tower of the Court House and few o.
the church steeples. If stronger pres
sure is needed, engines will have to sup
ply it, Engines, horses and alarm
system can only be question of time

THE ORIGIN.
THE LOSSES.

The Park Theatre building and equip
ment cost about $40 600 and was valued
at $50, 900. 1t was insured for SIS, ,000
1t was built in 1891, and was
owned by chartered company, of
of which George Schenck is president,
and Ira McJunkin. secretary The
stockholders number about twenty.
The lot has frontage of As 1-2 feet on
the Diamond and 81 1-2 on the alley,
length 1870 feet The late "boom" in
Butler makes it much more valuable
than it was thirteen years ago, when
the association purchased it from the
Bredin heirs
OF the occupants of this building the
Bowser Bros. are perhaps the heaviest
losers. They valued their library at
S., 200, lost it all, and carried but
$500 insurance. r. p. Scott lost a
valuable library and carried $1200 in
surance: A. T. Black. who lost his own
library and that Of Newton Black, de-
ceased, had but $400 insurance; Coulter
a. Baker, Mates & Young, Lusk & Pill
low, C. +. l.. McQnistion. McJunkin &
Williams and the Broadhead company
lost their libraries ard office furniture
and carried but little or no insurance.
The smallness of the insurance in this
building is due to the fact that the in
surance companies realized the risk or
danger and put on rate of 2 per
cent. which made an insurance of, say
$500. amount to $40 year. The fire
proof safes of these firms will proba-
bly, be rescued from the debris in the
basement this week with their books
and must valuable papers intact
On the first floor of this building were
