About 1880 last Thursday night
the residence of j. l.. Burton on Lake
treet was totally destroyed by fire.
rhe building was the store-structure
Quilt some years ago by A. z. Millar,
and which stood on Central avenue
next west of Crescent Inn. 1t was
moved something over year ago to
the lot on Lake street owned by Mr..
Burton. The building was insured
for 800 and there was an additional
insurance of 500 on furniture. Moth.
ing was saved except few chairs
and Mrs. Burton's trunk. This had
rot been unpHcked.
Mrs. Burton had moved into the
house the same day and was expect
ing to remain there, at least until
the arrival of Mr.. Burton, who is
still in south Florida. With her at
the time of the fire was her daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. Clay CRADLE, and
her little one.
The exact origin OF the fire is not
known, but it is supposed to have
| been defective flue.
The alarm was sounded by Tom
Clark who lives on the opposite side
of the street. Clark fired gun. A
crowd soon collected, probably 100
persons being on the ground in less
than 10 minutes Engineer Terry of
the Crescent was one of the first to
respond. He with others got the
hose and attached it to the hydrant.
Then they turned on the water.
Water oozed from the hose but there
was no force to it. The crowd then
resorted to buckets and turned its
attention to Mr.. Deaton's residence
next door. This was saved only by
the hardest kind of work. The wind
was in the right direction to espe-
cially endanger this hoase, Mr..
Stafford, the young man employed
on the Gondola, got upon the roof of
the Deaton house and by wrapping
himself in wet blankets managed to
keep the roof wet from "a stream
running from the hose. Capt. La
Bree also aided here with buckets
Several times the north side of the
Deaton house caught, but it was as
many times put out by the bucket
brigade, which fought hard and tC
the best advantage. Had there beer
any force in the water mains great
deal of hard labor could have been
saved, and it is more than probable
that the Burton residence could
have been kept from being tota
loss. There are two hydrants with
in short distance from the scene O
this fire. But there was no force o
water.
There was but slight breeze from
the northwest at the time. HaC
there been any wind it is more than
likely that half dozen buildings il
the same block would have gone.
The guests at Crescent Inn, bu
200 feet away, were up and ready t.
move.
This fire has demonstrated the ut
ter uselessness of our water protec
ton, The hose leaked a little waite
only when squeezed. The blaze al

valuable property.

HON. JOHN lRwIN,s sPEEcH,

When it was announced several
weeks ago that Hon. John Irwin of
Keokuk had been chosen by the state
central committee as temporary chair
man OF the republican convention,
those who contemplated attending the
gathering in Des Moines were assured
that the keynote address would be not
only eloquent but sound as to it's expo
sftion of party tenets. In another part
OF this issue the Courier presents it's
readers with the address of Mr.. Irwin
before the convention in Des Moines
today That it was well received by
the delegates there assembled, as told
In the Des Moines dispatches, will be
taken for granted by every one who
reads the address. Mr.. Irwin has a
most happy style of presenting his
views on questions of party policy and
this is one of the pleasing features of
the address. Mr.. Irwin is one of Keo-
kuk's most successful business men
and his conclusions regarding the wis
dom of republican policies are based
on sound business reasoning. The
Courier would urge all it's readers to
carefully review the arguments set
forth by Mr.. Irwin, believing that it
will give them larger conception of
public affairs and true idea of the
position of the republican party on the
same.

CURE APPENDICITIS WITHOUT
OPERATION

Recent dispatches tell of case of
appendicitis that has been cured in
Kansas City without surgical opera.
ton. The patient was Thomas Patter-
son, wealthy man of Nortonville,
Kansas and the cure was effected by
DIR. G. II. Carson. by new method of
treatment with which he has been ex.
perimenting for several years. Pat.
terson in a helpless condition, had
been taken to Kansas City to undergo
an operation
The announcement is nothing short
OF startling when the universal prev
alence of the disease is considered.
DIR. Carson is a close student of sci
ence and for the past twenty-five years
has delved into the great forces of ma
ture to which the twentieth century
IS just beginning to awaken. He says
that this force Is neither Christian
Science nor magnetism, but power
that may be expected to revolutionize
the world of medicine and surgery. To
carry out his ideas regarding these
forces, the doctor who is man of
wealth. has established the Carson col
lege OF Physic-Sarcology. 1t has been
incorporated under the educational
laws of Missouri and to perpetuate it
he has endowed the institution heav-
lily.
The future success of DR.. Carson's
proposed cure will be watched for
with interest. not only among the peo-
pie, but in medical circles.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

BY the time this issue of the Courier
reaches the readers the work of the
state republican convention will, in all
probability, have been completed. Del
egates to the national republican con-
vention will have been selected and a
platform setting forth the belief of
the Iowa republicans on questions of
party policy will have been framed
and adopted. These are the two i'm
portant questions that will be decided
by the convention During the pre-
convention canvass these two matters
have been presented to the republicans
of Iowa in their primaries and the
county convention in Des Moines today
is but the formal ratification of the ex-
pressed will of the republican voters.
With regard to the delegates-at-large
| from Iowa it has for several weeks
been conceded that Iowa's two sena-
tors, VIM. B. Allison and j. P. Dolliver,
Gov. Cummins and Hon. J. w. Blythe
will be chosen.
Likewise on the question of a plat
form the crystallized sentiment of
Iowa republicans is known. They favor
hearty endorsement of President
Roosevelt's administration and his
candidacy for nomination, they are
agreed that the administration of state
affairs by Governor Cummins has been
of character meriting commentator
and will so declare. Iowans are proud
of the high place her sons have taken
in the affairs of the national govern
ment acknowledging this pride and
commenting the two cabinet members
and the delegation of senators and rep
resentatives in the house will form
another important plank in the plat
form. While, it may be expected that
questions of national policy, will be re-
ferred to the national convention, it is
certain that the republicans of Iowa
will take occasion today to express
their belief in the republican policy of
protection to American industry and
labor.
All indications point to unity and an
old fashioned republican love feast,

"THINes HAVE CHANGED"

About $13,O00,0O0 in gold was sent
out of this country last week, the larg-
est shipment on record for the same
period of time, and Wall street witness

"bat of the eye" Ten years ago, I'M

Things have changed since the "star-
eyed goddess" died.-New York Com
mercial.
The New York paper in the above
gives most striking illustration of
the difference in the conditions of the
present day when compared with those
of a decade ago. Then not only was
the revenue insufficient to meet the eX.
penses of the government, but the
Cleveland administration, was compel.
ed to issue bonds to provide the money
necessary to the running of the gov.
eminent.
Of late years under republican poll
cies not only have the expenses of the
government been paid out of the rev.
enues, but there has been surplus
that has gone to wiping out the debt
created under democratic administra
tions. Today gold is so abundant that
$13,000,000 can be shipped out of the
country within week without en-
barrassing industry or commerce, fol
the capital necessary to conduct the
same. No more forcible testimony to
the wisdom of our present tariff and
financial policies can be given.

THE MODERN RATTLEsH,p.

The war in the far east has given
cause for considerable discussion of
the merits of the various classes of
fighting craft. There are those who
believe that this struggle will mark
the passing of the battleship. or the
larger types of warships, from the thea
tire of naval war. These persons point
to the work of the Japanese torpedo
boats claiming that hereafter sea fight
ing will be done by the smaller and
swifter boats.
In contrast to this, however, are the
opinions of certain well informed men,
who, while they admit that the pres
ent war may cause the battleships to
have a different rating in naval oper-
atoms, still believe that these mighty
engines of war will continue to be an
important factor therein. They ex-
pect that the battleships now belonging
to the navies of the world will con-
tinue to have a very NAKED influence
on their effectiveness, that additional
vessels of this type will be construct
ed. One of the most prominent author
tiles on naval matters who adheres to
the latter position is Captain Mahan.
He thinks that there is limit to the
size which should be given to battle
ships, but in spite of the disasters
many of them have met with during
the present war, his faith in them re-
mains firm.
Captain Mahan holds to the belief
that the necessary, indisputable con-
troll of naval operations is the con-
troll of the sea- This being so, when
the means of securing this control is
considered it is not a matter of bat
tleships versus torpedo boats, but a
question of big boats versus small and
Capt. Mahan is on the side of the big
ships. 1t is a principle of military and
naval operation that the greatest eff
ficiency has two important factors as
regards material, namely, concentra-
tion of force and mobility. When only
short distances are considered the tor
pedo boats are much swifter in move
ment than the large battleship but on
long run are inferior, being unable
to long weather rough seas.
Capt. Mahan says: 1T may be urged
that a torpedo boat is striking in
stance of concentration of power, since
one of it's missiles can sink battle
ship" Answering this, however, he
argues that ''the ability to reach strik-
ing distance and obtain certainty Of
aim is by no means probably within its
control. Many torpedo boats belonged
to the Russian squadron at Port Arthur
but they have been unsuccessful in
all efforts to damage any of the Japan
csc battleships. A ship may be de-
stroyed now and then, but fleets can
not be. at is the concentrated power
which can come into the open that
wins in the end Under whatever mod
ifications of tactics or armament" says
Capt. Mahan, 81 consider the continue
ance of the battleship certain
