fires was that which started June % in
the vicinity of Webster Lake on Town

and was driven by the gale of June Sd,
across the towns of r. 8; r. 9; r.
and r. and it is estimated that 1T
burned over $4,000 acres of land on
which stood some of the finest timber
in the State. 1t burned with such fury
that on large part of it the soil was
burned and in some sections the timber
was entirely consumed. The cause of
the fire is unknown.
AT about the same time another fire
was started near Sandy stream on
township No. 8 r. 8, burning large
part Of the town. Township No 2, r. s.
north of Millinocket also suffered the
same day with fire which burned over
about 1000 acres.

such that a careful investigation
should be made.

Peruna is q specific lin its operation

RESTORING THE PARTY.

The action of the Jacksonian Club of Nebraska in reinstating members who were expelled in 1896 for refus- ing to support Bryan on the free sil yer platform is an indication of re turning political sense.
 The need of a united, vigilant and vigorous opposition party has never been greater since the close of the war than it is today The highland ed, rash and disturbing policy of President Roosevelt and the failure of tRepubl.San Congress to recognize tb V6vious needs of the country ere ate an opportunity and impose duty which the demotae.s should prepare to meet
 As the democratic party lacked 600, 900 votes and 95 electors of win ming in 1896, and was short S50,000 votes and 137 electors in 1900, it is plain that it can win next year only by recalling the voters who gave it a popular plurality of 3S3,00O and an electoral plurality of 132 in 1892, and attracting the independent, thinking conservative citizens who usually de eide presidential elections.

London, Dec. 26.-The annuzl free dinner given this afternoon /by the well known organ of the raGical and labor element, Reynolds Newspaper to the sandwichmen-m4 who pa. rade the thoroughfares of the metrop- oils bearing advertisins sign boards formed one of the nost picturesque demonstrations in 1ondon's obsery. ance of the Christmas holidays.

More than 2.000 frieSdless and for the most part h@fneless destitutes partook of the yChristmas fare
 It was a motley crowd of all sorts
 and conditions of men, the fiotsam
 and jetsam of a great city. There were some wizened, mean, puny
 spare men who looked as if they had no marrow in their bones. There
 were others who had plenty of sinew
 but who had upon their faces the dis
 nal mark of failure, men who be trayed the possession of despair and
 were hall-marked by the canker Oi ! despondency Professional men clergymen, lawyers, journalists and
 others who might point if they would ! +o Oxfo-J or Caynbr;5oa oe +bair Ala Mater sat at the table side by side

 Two thousand victims of their own folly, victims of circumstances, or
 victims of fate. Whatever might be
 assigned as to the cause it was appa rent to the observer that the most of them were human wrecks beyond re demption. Here and there among l the diners might be picked out one
 whose countenance still bore trace of
 spirit of hope and who might be ex pected to face the world again when opportunity presented. But the great majority of them were outcasts with
 no hope for the future but to "wear
 the boards' until mercifully relieved
 of their burdens by the hand of death For the time being, however, their hearts were attuned to the spirit an
 initiating the occasion-the spirit of Christmastide, of merriness, of hap
 piness, of brotherhood. Inside the
 building there were bands, vaudeville , acts and other forms of entertain. ment during the dinner. The dinner itself was a bounteous one. Includ-
 ed in the bill of fare were soup, tur- key, roast beef, cranberry sauce and
 the plum pudding, without which no ] English Christmas dinner would be
 complete.
 Though the dinner was promoted
 and arranged for by newspaper
 whose radical propaganda is natural ly opposed to the beliefs of royalty and the higher element of society in general, it is pleasing to note that among those who contribute liberally each year to the dinner fund are many persons of wealth and high sta tion. The King and the Prince of Wales are regular subscribers to the fund, followed by other distinguished personages.
