SALOON DAMAGE
MIR. J. X. GRAYS ESTABLISH
MENT ALMOST RUINED.

The central fire department. was
called to the saloon and grocery store
OF J. r. Gray ut Thirteenth and Clay
streets, this morning about l O'Clock
to extipguish n blaze in the interior
Of the saloon department
The fire is of unknown origin as no
fire had been left about the premises
unless il was . cigar stump, and the
loss will amount to several hundred
dollars, the grocery stock being dam
aged considerably by water. The
saloon fixtures are ruined and also
the greater portion OF the stock. IL
Is said the loss is covered by insur-
ance.
At the same time the fire depart
ment was working on this fire. an
other alarm was sent from Twelfth
and Madison street from the saloon
OF Mr.. Turner. A gasoline stove
exploded but the flames were extin-
guished before any damage a. done.

THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and tomorrow.
MATERIAL FOR STREETS.

In view of the statements of city
officials who have lately been investi-
eating street material, brick streets
will hereafter be eschswed in Padu-
cab. There seems to be much better
material ct no greater cost. and Padu-
cab wants the best her money will
buy. --
The people will doubtless be willing
and anxious to have anything used
that will remove the poss Utility Of
having the work done by amateur con.
tractors. The loss of time to citizens
from poky. slip-shod methods of street
paving has been annoying and costly,
and the experience wo have already
had should be sufficient.
In addition, a wall over even those
brick streets paved within the past
several months revesls broken and
crumbled bricks, depressions, and
other evidences of the inferiority OF
brick as paving material. All the
city needs is hard material as near
noiseless a. possible, put down in 90
short a time ut Is reasonable q coat
as possible by competent men who
will furnish a good guarantee.

There appear to be no grounds for
the Democratic claim that they stand
any chance Of carrying New York.
Timothy J. Woodruff. formerly lieu.

an interview at Sc. Louis! a day or

nominally, and it will be Republican
this year. There is nothing to indi-
cate dissatisfaction with the admin

sire a change. II is only.a question as
to the size of the majority. II Parker

The greatest paid attendance since
the worlds fair opened forty -four
DAYS ago was Saturday, when 6s. 467
people paid to pass through the gates.
At this rate it will require the total
admissions for thirty days. estimated
on the above 6s, 467, to pay one fourth
of the s4,6oo,ooo the government
loaned the fair. or four mon tbs and a
half to pay the entire loan. II is OBJ
vious that there will have to be big
increase in attendance for the remain

Trouble Ahead for the Demo-
cratic County Committee.
Chairman Refuses to Call Meet.
ing-Candidates Petition Com.
mitteemen For Primary.
THE MACHINE VS.. ANTS

There 10 another epidemic OF trouble
promised for the Democratic commit.
toe of MoCracken county. This time
il will likely be over the calling Of a
county primary for making nomina-
tions for offices to be Allied in Novem-
Der. 1905. over year hence.
Chairman o. W. Morrison has bsen
asked to call the committee together
to take some action, but desires TO
wait until about July 4th to do IL. A
petition to committeeman has been
circulated smong known candidates
for county offices, asking for an early
primary, II is understood, and swenty-
two of the candidates are in favor OF
the early primary, most Of them. IL 10
understood, for primary on the regu-
lar election day in November when
they expect to get out . large Demo.
cratic representation.
Some members OF the committee
are against this proceeding. claim
ing that such an early primary il
unprecedented, and would in addi-
ton be freeze out" for candidates
who may desire to enter later on.
Many good men, they argue, do not
want to go out after nomination
this far ahead OF time, and the
chronic Office seeker. they declare,
should not be permitted TO do his
work in q year in advance, and shut
every body else out.
Besides, some claim, IL this sort OF
high handed proceeding is permitted
by the party managers, il may result
next year in Democrats who have been
shut out by an early primry. making
the race for some Of the Offices as indie
pendents. possibly defeating the Demo
cratic nominee and electiug Republi-
can.
II seems, however, that about If.
teen of the county committeeman
favor the early primary idea, and have
signed a petition asking Chairman
Morrison to call meeting of the com
mittee for Saturday next. Chairman
Morrison has not done so, but il Is un-
derstood that the committeeman
whose requests he has declined to
comply with, will hold the meeting
by a majority signing the call, and in
that event there II likely to be q state
OF affairs something similar to the
one over the chairmanship a few
years ago.
The present disagreement is regard
ed by many rs preliminary skirmish
between the state machine element
and the "antis," for control Of the
county Democratic committee. 1t Is
expected that no matter which way
the committee goes the machine forces
will win, as the whole political fabric
is dominated by the state machine,
which has put it's men in complete
control of everything, and will no
doubt, as always before. decide all
questions In Its own favor.
The machine element In McCrscken
seems to be the faction that wants the
early primary. Nearly all the known
candidates also want au early pri-
mary. so the prospects are there will
be an early primary.
