The fire was discovered in the ware

At I o'clock this morning a general
alarm was sounded. With the assistance
of troops from the garrison and sailors
from the fleet, the fire was confined to the
two wharves and was believed to be un-
der control at o'clock. The loss was
then estimated at $4,000.
Fire Breaks Out Afresh.
The fire. however, broke out again
early today and destroyed several ware
houses and other buildings. The ware
houses burned were fine, new buildings,
and the loss is now placed at 100000.
At 10 o'clock the fire was still burning
but under control. The insurance on the
property destroyed is estimated at about
three-quarters of the loss.
Origin May Be Incendiary.
There is a theory that the fire may
have been Of incendiary origin, as there
had been no fire in the buildings on the
wharves for twenty-four hours previous
to the time flames broke out.

Fighting Roadside Weeds.

In some States there are county laws
which make it obligatory for those in
charge of the roads to see that road
side weeds are cut twice during the
growing season, first before July and
the second time before the first OF
September. 1t would be well if such
law was in force in all sections,
and yet the fighting of obnoxious
weeds seems to be one Of those things
for which no law should be required.
Farmers ought to be more than will
Ing TO combine among themselves Tor
mutual protection, even going so Tar
as to cut the weeds in front OF the
farm of any man who will not do the
work himself This would not need to
be done very often, for shame would
soon compel such a man to do his
duty.
The main trouble with weeds, how
ever, is with such as are allowed to
grow inside the fence line, for few
farmers are willing to spend the time
necessary to rid their farms Of these.
Combine with each other to rid the
roadside of weeds, and then let every
man take care of those inside the
fence and elsewhere on his farm. If
this weed fighting was done systemati-
cally instead of spasmodically, 1t
would not require many years to de-
cidedly lessen the weed crop and ma
terially increase the valuable crops as
well as save much labor.-Exchange.

SCHLEY STRIKES HOME
Admiral's Biography Scores Samp-
sons Conduct in Santiago
Campaign.
Does Not Withhold Praise from Those
Who Made Movement-Was Too
Generous, He Adds.

New York, Sept. 17.-Rear Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley's autobiography,
"Forty-fve Years Under the Flag" has
just been issued. Rear Admiral Schley's
work is critical as well as historic, and
he does not mince words. The preface
brings out the fact that Secretary John
D. Long Of the navy refused to place
papers at the writer's disposal, which
afterwards became accessible under the
administration of William H. Moody.
These papers, the rear admiral ''has been
pleased to find,' verified almost to the
day and the hour his memory of many
circumstances, so ineradicably were
events impressed upon him at the time Of
their occurrence"
Devoted to Spanish War.
One-third Of the book is devoted to the
Spanish-American war, upon which, OF
course, the writer's fame will rest with
posterity Here, between the lines, it is
easy to read that the iron entered Commo-
dOre Schley's soul after Santiago, and
that the spontaneous plaudits Of a large
part Of the American people, when he
was assaulted, did not altogether suffice
for its removal. The Schley-Sampson
controversy runs through the book from
the now almost forgotten Cienfuegos in
cident to the Santiago onslaught
Sampson, he declares, at their inter
view before leaving Key West, failed to
inform him fully of the movements of the
enemy. The conclusion is that ''if it was
good policy for Sampson, who knew when
Ceryera was to return to Key West, sew
eral hundred miles away, it could not
have been represensible in Schley, who
knew absolutely nothing of Cervera' S
whereabouts, to do the same thing"
Admiral SIMPSONS dispatches, he de-
clares further on, "were uncertain in tone
and undecided i'll information"
Continuing ON this subject, the writer
says:
with no knowledge whatever that a
system of signals had been agreed upon

Sioux Falls, S. d., April 2O.-Judgs
Garland of the U. S. circuit court has
handed down Il decision in a case
which establishes n new precedent in
that there is not another case on rec

The case is one in which the Illinois
Central road was sued for 500, 600 by
the widow of a man killed by one of
their station agents. II. A. Steagald,
formerly a resident of kentucky, but
later an employe of the Central in the
capacity of station agent at Ben Glare,
mad become involved in a heated ar
gument with one Frank Bowen. a
prominent stockman and resident of
the town of Ben Glare. During the
argument it is alleged that Bowen
threatened to kill Steagald. A few
days after Bowen entered the station

nc disposition to carry out his threat.
His 1~4-year-old boy accompanied him.
Before he left the agent asked him to
sign a receipt book belonging to the
company. Bowen signed his initials
but made q long scratch in lieu of his
proper name. S%teagald drew Il revolver
and fired. Bowen attempted to retreat
but the agent followed him. Bowen's
The agent fired, the ball striking the

wired for the sheriff to come and get
him, giving an account at the time OF
mis- crime. He was tried in the district
court and acquitted on the charge of
insanity. Later he was released by the
asylum authorities.
The widow then sued the Illinois
Central road for $4,000, alleging the
company was responsible for the act
IF their agent for the death of her hus-
band. The case was placed in the
hands OF the best attorneys and a fierce
battle was waged before Judge Car
and. The attorneys for the defense
asked the judge to instruct the jury to
bring in a verdict of acquittal, on the
ground that the act of the agent was
not within the scope of his employers.
Judge Garland tool the matter under

handed down 4 written opinion grant

regulating the practice of medicine.

severely criticise the institution that
gave him a diploma after a term cover
Ing only about a month. Yegge's man
