LIFE LOST IN BIG FIRE
One Man Missing After $1,0O0,OOO
Blaze in Jersey City.

New york, May so.-One death may
have resulted from the fire that
started last evening on the barge
Allen C. Churchill and swept over
seven Of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Railroad company's
freight and coal piers in Jersey City
The police were informed to-day that
the mate of the Churchill could not
be found and that 1t was feared he
might have persisted.
The police estimate the loss by the
fire at $1,0O0,00O. This, however, they
say is conservative estimate, and 1t
may be found that the loss is several
hundred thousand dollars higher.
The officials of the railroad COM
pany are unwilling as yet to give out
any definite figures on the loss, as 1t
has so far been impossible to learn
just how much freight was destroyed.
Three engines were still pouring
streams of water on the smoldering
ruins to-day.

Loyalty with Common Sense.

| IOydIly WIFI SOIflInOT S6nSGs
Just SO it must be for US in civil life.
We can make and keep this country
worthy Of the men who gave their lives
to save it, only on condition that the
average man among us on the whole does
his duty bravely, Loyalty, and with COM
mon sense, in whatever position life al
lots to him.
Exactly as In time Of war courage is the
cardinal virtue Of the soldier, so in time
of peace honesty, using the word in it's
deepest and broadcast significance, is the
essential basic virtue without which all
else avails nothing. National greatness is
of slow growth. It cannot be forced and
yet be stable and enduring; for it is
based Fundamentally upon national char
acter, and national character is stamped
deep in people by the lives Of many
generations.
The men who went into the army had
to submit to discipline, had to submit to
restraint thru the government Of the lead
ers they had chosen, as the price Of win
ming. So we, the people, can preserve
our liberty and our greatness in time OF
peace only by yourselves exercising the
virtues OF honesty, Of self-restraint, and
Of fair dealing between man and man.
In all the ages of the past men have
seen countries lose their liberty, because
their people could not restrain and order
right to what they were unable to use
with wisdom.
It was because you men of the civil
war both knew how to use liberty tenn.
perately and how to defend it at need
that we and our children and our chill
dren's children shall hold you in honol
4 forever. VII
Here, on Memorial Day. on this grea;

SEEING THE FAIR

St. Louis, Oct. 29.-The thing that
disturbed John most. now that the Mis-
souri, mosquito has been rut out of ac-
ton by the frost. is the fact that he can
not be at seven or eight places at the
same time. He has already lamented
the absence of eyes in the back of his
head, but now that so many interest
ing events are being crowded into the
days as the fair wears its close the
inability TO see everything that is go
ing on is more eXaSperating than ever.
Yesterday afternoon John wanted to
attend the session of the Nut Growers
convention in Congress hail. but how
could he do that and at the same time
witness the wonderful high diving ex
hibtiOn that is given on the Pike? 1t
turned out. however, that the first dive
was at 1880 in the loren Don, and so we
hi plenty of time to see this wonder
full feat and take in the Nut Growers
convention afterwards. The diving eX-
hibition is merely one of the many di-
versions that are now provided by the
exposition management free of charge
And the diving exhibition is certainly a
thrilling performance. Nine years ago
KeaTney p. Speedy. of St. Louis, made
a successful dive off the Eads bridge.
Since that time he has Travelled ali
over the world giving exhibitions of his
daring. On the Pike he dives fouF
times each day from tower 100 feet
high into a tank of water Sc inches
deep. Il feet long and feet wide. It
doesn't take long for great crowd to
gather after he climbs 70 the top of
the 100 foot pole. While at that diZZy
height he goes through lot of man
euyering just 10 work up" the crowd
and its nerves on edge. Suddenly
man comes gliding through space and
there is a great splash. and while
thousand spectators hold their breath
he climbs out of the tank we'll soaked
but unframed. The thing that gives
such hazard TO the performance and
which whets the curiosity of the crowd
is the smallness OF the tank and the
fear that he will butt his brains our
on the bottom of the tank or miss The
tank entirely

Nut Growers association. What could
be dryer than a lot of papers on rails
ing nuts written by nut growers? Jane
said. IF it were a convention of nut
crackers there might be something in
it."
But | am glad that we went. 1t was
as good as a show on the pike. Here
were a lot of fUll-grOwn men. appar
emily of sound mind, who were not in
terested in anything but nuts, and
they started in by wrangling over the
question whether a growth of nut trees
should be called a grove" an COR
chaTd.' or a 'plantation"-a very
"nutty' problem, indeed, one that
would have been settled by a woman
and her gavel in a minute. But these
men take the nut business very seri-
.Ously and. to tell the truth, we learned
a whole lot about the nut-growing in
dustry ir this country. Indeed. il is
the first time l ever knew that there
was a nut industry in this country.
But all this time we were missing a
whole lot of things. Five hundred
chicks were Matched out by incubators
over in the live stock barns, and CO.
rOpOne was being tested on the Plaza
of St. Louis, there were concerts by
several famous bands, and who knows
but what several air ships were flying
through the air? T. A. d.

COMPLAINS ABOUT
OFFICIAL BALLOT
C. w. McCaskrin Will Ask injunction
to Prevent Printing and
Distribution.

George W. McCaskrin, through his
attorney. S. R. Kcnworthy. today gave
notice to County Clerk Hubbard that
application would be made before
Judge Emory c. Graves in the Rock
Island county circuit court tomorrow
for an order of injunction restraining
the county clerk from issuing. publish
ing or distributing the official ballots
for next Tuesdays election in the form
in which they have been prepared.
The claim is made by Mr.. McCaskrin
that the appellation, independent at
the head of the column under which
his name appears as an Independent
candidate for the legislature is dis
played in much smaller type than that
by which the other parties are desis
mated. that his own name is likewise
made to appear in much smaller type
than the other candidates, and beyond
all this the phrase three votes) does
not appear after his name, discrim-
nation that he alleges applies only
to himself and the socialistic candi-
date for the legislature for the Thirty
third district
The hearing on the application will
probably occur before Judge Graves
tomorrow morning.
Speaking of the source of Mr.. Nc
Caskrin's grievance this afternoon,
County Clerk Hubbard said that in
the matter of three votes" after his
name that was a matter that had been
entirely in Mr.. McCaskrin's own hands.
that the ballot was made in accordance
with the certificate of the secretary of
state. with whom Mr.. McCaskTin had
filed his papers. AS far as the size of
type is concerned, said Mr.. Hubbard,
the sample ballot is no criterion for
how the official ballot will appear.

informed by the secretary of the Lin

eliminate the stage and theatrical

have more $500 crowds than any
other size This is q large number
and it is only on occasions of great
political rallies when the capacity Of
the house is taxed.
To the question of size best adapted
TO Rock Islands needs. the probable
cost and how the money might be
raised. Mr.. Van Calder said that IN his
opinion an auditorium with seating
capacity of $500 on main floor and
galleries would be best found for Rock
Island. He would simply have a speak
ers' platform, but not build for stS ge
and scenery. as the Illinois supplies
the demand in that line. With the diff
ference in size and cost in material
between Lincoln and Rock Island he
believes an auditorium of the capacity
Indicated could be built for $4,000.

that IN and about the tri-citieS are

should make it easy to secure with lit

tions every year. We have facilities
for caring for them in every way with
this one exception-lack of an audi
forum. In Lincoln, the Commercial
club fathered the auditorium move
ment. About one hundred of their
live citizens joined with them; each
bought a few hundred dollars worth
of the stock, and not one of them
