ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July THE
healthiest presidential boom in the
democratic party seems to be that of
Circuit Attorney Joseph w. Folk of
st. Louis.
But the boom IL for 1908. not 1904.
Folk, elected as a democrat to the
hitherto insignificant Office Of circuit
attorney, has made his name known
from one end of the country to the
other by his persistent and merciless
crusade against the shameless bood-
lers, bribers and grafters, both in st.
Louis and in the state of Missouri.
He has not only ripped up the ma
chine" of his own party, but he has
shown that there are no party lines
publicans in office were in league with
the bosses of the dominant party.
A great many of Folks friends and
lots Of his enemies want him nomi-
mated for president at this conven-
tion, but Folk, with great vehemence.
declares that he has much work to do
in finishing his Doodle crusade. and
that he can not have his attention
distracted from that work at this
time.
Folk has just accepted the nomina-
tion for governor Of Missouri, think
ing that as governor he can keep the
st. Louis Doodle cases going and can
also give the state house a much
needed cleaning. The people Of the
state demanded Folks nomination
with such vehemence that even ''the

1t is said that Bryan has picked

narrowly escaped being surrounded.
Russian reinforcements then came
up and the czar's forces were enabled
to retire. The Russian casualties

COOKS HILL AND LDGRWO0D PARK UNLESS WATER CAN BE Hal
Grafters in the City Hall Spend Their
Time Doing Politics Instead Of
Building Up a Water System

The hospital building on Cooks
hill, operated by the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists, was burned to the ground
this morning on account Of the abso-
lutte inability Of the fire department
to get water. The FIRE broke out in
a small kitchen in the rear Of the
hospital about 4:15. The department
responded at once and arrived before
the flames had spread. When the
hose was laid from the plug at the
head of Hilliard street 1t was found
that not one drop Of water came
through the nozzle. The engine was
Immediately coupled with the plug.
For some time 1t pumped nothing but
air. Finally little water was pump
ed, but not enough to check the
flames In the slightest. At o'clock
the engine was still at work forcing
. puny stream onto the dying embers.
At the time the fire broke out
there were a dozen or more patients
in the building. All were removed
from the building before the flames
had gained much headway. The pa
tients who were able to be moved
were taken into the homes of neigh
bors. The others are being cared for
In the main hospital building, which
was saved. At one time 1t seemed
that the old Cook residence was
doomed. The wind was blowing the
heat and embers directly toward It.
A bucket brigade on the roof saved
1t. The wind suddenly shifted and
In this way the building was saved
The loss Is estimated at $4,000. The
insurance on the building was $1,000
and on the furniture $500.
The loss falls heaviest upon the
nurses and attendants, who lost all
their belongings. Practically moth
ing was saved from the building ex-
cept the books. The building was
three years old ana was built at a
cost Of $4,000. The origin Of the
hre 10 not known. 1t Is supposed
that II broke out in the old kitchen.
Yesterday the hospital people were
canning cherries in the building and
II is thought that some fire was left
In the building over night.
III We Had WaNerf"
1--WE could have saved the whole
building" said Chief Meyers of the
fre department, "if we had had
water We had to stand by and watch
II burn, We made a good run and
arrived In plenty time to prevent
the fire from spreading. There was
only 80 pounds of pressure at the
plug at Q o'clock this morning 1t
was as great then az IT had been at
any time during the fire. II we had
had water we could have put the fire
out In a short time. As II was, we
were there for eight hours or more
and could do nothing to check the
flames We had to let the thing burn
out"

Of the city there is little or no water.

out in Lidgerwood there would be
nothing to stop 1t. Today the fire
was on the hill opposite Lidgerwood.

was nothing to do but to let the fire

serve water supply for use In case OF

Now they see that they need 1t. There
must be water here soon or a portion
of the city will not be allowed to
take out fire insurance"
The city is building standpipes to
relieve the water famine. The sani-
tarium which burned this morning
was directly below one of these pipes.
There was no water There never
will be any water until the city Of
ficials awake to the necessity Of an
adequate water supply. Standpipes
are nothing more than makeshifts
They enable the residents to get
enough water to drink. They are
wholly inadequate in case OF a fire
such as the one which destroyed the
hospital this morning.
Property worthless.
The Graves people have spent in
the neighborhood of 100000 in i'm
proving the lots on the hill. With
out water these lots are practically
worthless. People hesitate about
buying where they can not get water
in the summer time. The citizens
demand water. The politicians in the
city hall have an iron of their own in
the fire. They do not want to put in
a water system until they can see
their way clear to reap a little bene-
fit from 1t themselves.
