Mississippi Town Destroyed by
Fire Yesterday.
Fifteen Stores We're Among the
Buildings That Burned to
the Ground.
HAD VERY LITTLE INSURANCE

Alderman, Miss, Dot. 19.-Fire
yesterday originated in the dwelling
OF Mr.. Galcerean at Sturgis. Miss. +,
the dwelling being situated in the
north end of town, and with a north
wind blowing, the flames soon COM
muniosted with adjoining buildings,
completely destroying every store in
town with the exception Of one. The
Illinois Central depot and cotton
platform was in danger of loss until
reintorcements were RON from Acker.
man and Starkville on special trains.
The people Of Alderman have offered
all relief necessary and at present no
outside help will be necessary.
The fire burnt the entire town of
Sturgis, leaving only one business
house standing. One residence and
fifteen stores, with their entire con-
tents, were consumed. Only two men
had any insurance.. K. Sharp and
Mr.. Kelb had $1,000 insurance each
on about s6, 900 of stock. Everything
was as dry as powder and burnt SO
rapidly none of the merchants could
save their goods. Dave Rjney's store
is the only one left standing, and this
was due to the fact that it was some.
what isolated from the others.

STATE NEWS.
Railroad Accident at West Berlin.

Railroad Accident at West Berlin.
At nine O'Clock Thursday morning
there occurred at West Berlin head
on collision of two freights on the
Central Vermont track. Both engines
were completely demolished and will
be good for little but scrap iron. The
cars were piled in mass of wreckage.
Martin Garland, a brakeman from
st. Adams, was killed, and Geo. Fisk,
a conductor, and Mr.. Manchester, a
brakeman, were seriously injured.
They we're taken at once to st. Adams
to the hospital at that place. 1t is
supposed that the accident was due
to a mix up of orders at Montpelier
junction. There is no regular station
there, it having been burned for the
third time few weeks ago.
Date Set for State Convention.
The republican state committee met
in Burlington recently and set the
date for the state convention at which
the delegates at large, to attend the
national convention, are elected. The
convention will be held at the Howard
opera house in Burlington Wednes-
day, April 20 The committee was
called to order by A. E. Watson, Sec
rotary of the organization; and
Horace w. Bailey was elected tempo
rary chairman. The first business
transacted was the election of F. S.
Platt of Poultney, a member of the
committee from Rutland county, to
succeed the late Ira r. Allen. T. M.
Chapman of Middlebury was nomi-
mated for chairman by r. W. Hulburd
of Hyde Park and as he was the Oldest
member of the committee was elected.
The committee decided upon the Hon.
III. H. Powers as chairman of the con-
vention and the Hon. W. E. Johnson
of Woodstock was elected chairman
of the committee on resolutions. The
basis of representation will be on the
governorship vote of 1900 and that
will provide 72S delegates. Fl. W.

United States marshal, will retire from
the committee and his successor from
Orange county will be elected at the

COUNTY POLITICS.

County politics are being agitated
little at this time and the question of
senator from the south part of the
county is receiving special attention.
While several names have been men
toned there seem to be but two can
dldates in the field at this time, Mr..
Chauncey s. Skinner of Barton Land
ing and Mr.. Homer H Somers of
Irasburg. 1t was expected for time
that Mr.. NJ. III. Taplin of Barton Land
ing would be a candidate for the
office, but we are able to state posi-
lively that Mr.. Taplin has declined to
allow his name to be used.
At the urgent request of many
friends in Orleans county, Mr.. Skin
ner has consented to the use of his
name as candidate. He does this at
a sacrifice of his personal interests.
Mr.. Skinner ranks among the ablest
business men of the county. In 1888
he represented Barton in the legisla-
ture and rendered most efficient SER
vice in the interest of his town and
county. A temperance man from
principle and to the backbone, he is
especially fitted to meet the present
crisis. A large hearted, kind, and
genial man, he is a general favorite
wherever he is known. His intelli-
gence. his sound, cool Judgment, his
rare tact and shrewdness, make him
a power in the domain of open,
honorable, and legitimate influence.
If elected, he will give to the inter-
ests of the state his undivided atten-
ton. his best efforts, his mature and
unbiased judgment. Mr.. Skinner will
receive the hearty support of his own
village aud town.
MIR. Somers is well known to the
uaople Of Orleans county. He has
represented Irasburg in the legisla
ture, at which time he rendered
faithful and efficient service. He has
held nearly every Office in the gift of
his town. He is president of the
Orleans County Fair Association and
under his able management this asso-
citation has met with grand success. He
is also a director of the Barton
Savings Bank. He is a strong pro-
hibitionist and is loyal to the interests
OF his town and county, and he will
receive the hearty support of his
townspeople.
AS it is early in the season the
voters will have ample time to give
due consideration to the question
and make sure that the one is selected
who will be best able to serve the
county.

The Prudential Insurance Company.

The Prudential Insurance Company.
The year 1903 proved banner one
for the Prude ntial in Vermont, full
report of new business written by all
life insurance companies having just
b cen received. Of the 20 odd COM
pan les licensed 10 write insurance in
the state, only some half dozen
showed an increase in amount of
business written in 1903 over that of
1902. Of these few companies the
Prudential was big leader, its in
crease of over $4,000 being more
than double that of its nearest COM
petitor. Such a sho wing is remark
able in view of the fact that there is
great competition between all the
companies, and testifies to the favor
in which the company is held by the
public.
