ing of the state legislature. which will
also elect Senator Beveridge to sue

BUCKLIN'S BIG LOSS.
Further Particulars of the Fire III
Western Kansas Town.

Dodge City. Kan, June 25.-F'urther
particulars of the early morning fire at
Bucklin have been received here.
1t was not known how the fire start
ed but the main business section of the
town was reduced to ashes in 45 min
utes. The loss will reach probably $50,
600. only part of which was covered by
insurance. There was no one killed
outright in the flames, but it is feared
that fatal injuries were sustained by
Chas. W. Boedecker, proprietor of the
St Charles hotel, where the fire origi-
mated In trying to escape from the
burning hotel with his baby in his arms
he fell down the stairway and received
internal injuries that may cost him his
life. He succeeded in saving the baby,
which was uninjured.
The business section of Bucklin con-
sisted of stores on both sides of Main
street for one block. The principal
stores were on the west side of the
street The fire started in the parlor
OF the hotel at o'clock Friday morn
ing, which was the building at the
south end of the block on the west
side, and in 45 minutes the fire had
swept to the north end of the block and
laid in ruins every building in its way.
There was a high wind blowing at the
time. BuCklin had no fire department
and the wind carried the flames with
such rapidity that there was no time
for fighting the fire. There was barely
time for people to escape with their
lives. Many ran into the streets clad
only in their night clothes and every
thing else was lost in the flames.
The places of business burned incIud-
ed the St. Charles hotel, pOstohice,
largest drygoods and grocery store,
drug store, bank, only butcher shop in
town, two restaurants, bakery, doctors
odfices. The Insurance was light, as
the buildings were all frame, and the
town mad no fire protection. The total
loss viii perhaps be $4,000, but the
amount of insurance has not been
learned.
Among the crowd in the hotel was
Mr. J. c. Sanders. of Winfield. MI.
Sanders was severely injured in jump
ing from the second story window of
the hotel He says that he was on the
second floor and was nearly overcome
by the smoke. The fire had already
cut off escape by the stairway and he
CROPPED to the window and breaking
the glass threw the bedding out of the

He was injured in the back and limbs.
but win probably recover without SER
ious results. Mr.. Sanders says the best
part of the city is wrecked and that
much of the loss was total. The hotel
was burned complete with its contents.

not confined to any one party but are
common to all parties"
The Holton Recorder endorses this
statement by Mr.. Hoch as "an undis-
puted fact" But which theory does
he endorse - asks Mr.. Beck. "Judg-
ing from the practice of his alleged
friends in this county he believes
everything is fair in politics. At least
up to this time we have heard or seen
nothing to indicate that he has said
a word in disapproval of the acts of
his hackers here. One of the Hoch
men who stole a place on the delega-
ton to the Wichita convention. and
who posed as a HOch man, is drawing
the salary of position in the Indian
departm ent, an office given him Dy
Mr.. Curtis for his work in unseating
the legally elected delegation to
Wichita.
Another of his Jackson county sup
porters holds a lucrative position in
the Indian Territory given him BY
Curtis as a reward for his work in
the congressional committee.

sition in the Holton postofice. One

owes it to the honest Republicans of
Kansas to tell which side he is on, and
if on the right side, which he certain
~ will claim to be, then to denounce
in no uncertain way the dishonest
practice of his supporters in this dis
trict."
Lawrence Gazette: Before there
will be complete harmony in the Re
publican ranks in Kansas, it Will be
necessary for Mort Albaugh' to rise
in open meeting and say that he was
mistaken when he said State Treas
urer Kelly is thief, and it may also
be necessary for Henry Allen to
apologize for saying that Bowersock
stole the congressional nomination.
OF course it is not counted a crime in
political circles to be a thief, but Tom
Kelly and Mr.. BowersOck may take
offense at the statements unless an
explanation is made saying that the
charges are not true.
