Barn Burned.

Last Sunday the bank barn of
Dauiel Bolinger, who resides
about two miles north of Water
fall was totalally destroyed by
fire.
Shortly after noon, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bolinger went to New Gren.
ada leaving their two sons about
II and 3years of age. The boys
were out about the yard and did
not notice anything unusual until
the smoke seemed to pour out
from the barn at all sides and the
building seemed to be filed with
flames.
The boys with rare presence of
mind rushed into the smoke filed
stables and released the horses,
bat all the harness, five or six
tons of hay, straw, and gram, be-
sides lot of farming imple-
ments In the barn, were destroy
ed.
There was an insurance of $500
on the barn and 500 on the con-
tents, but this will not cover
more than half the loss.

Mr.. Loomis will make report on con-

CONF IRNS
WOOD NOMINATION
But Two Republicans Voted
in Opposition.
END OF LONG CONTROVERSY
Final Vote Stands As to I6-CockrelI
and Dubois, Democrats, Favored
Confirmation.

The Senate this afternoon confirmed
the nomination of Brig. Gen. Leonard
Wood to be a major general in the
regular service
The vote was 45 to 16 So far as
known. Scott Of West Virginia and Kit
tredge Of North Dakota were the only
Republicans voting in the negative.
CockreII of Missouri and Dubois of
Idaho were among the Democrats who
voted in favor Of confirmation.
The nomination was called up by Mr..
Foraker at 1875 o'clock this afternoon
and its consideration was resumed
A plan was on foot just prior TO the
beginning Of the executive session 10
get a vote on the nomination without
further delay.
Leonard Wood entered the regular
army as surgeon, took active part IN
three engagements with the Indians as
a commander OF attachments Of infan-
try, entered the war with Spain as a
volunteer colonel Of the Rough Riders

was promoted 10 De a brigadier general
of volunteers for gallant service in the
field. He then became governor OF
Santiago, Cuba, and subsequently gov
ernOF general OF the Island Of cuba
and distinguished his administration for
unparalleled Improvement in the sani-
Jary condition Of both cities.
President Mckinley transferred his
name TO the rolls Of the regular army as
brigadier general. and the nomination
TO make him a major general in the reg
uIar service was made by President
Roosevelt in fuInllment of the law gov
erning promotions in the army.
Strong opposition to confirming the
nomination developed in the Senate in
consequence Of General Wood s limited
experience in commanding troops. the
chief figures opposed 70 him being
Senator Hanna and Senator Teller.
A further interest was given the con-
test by the continuation of his tempo
Tary appointment through an appoint
ment made in the constructive recess
between the adjournment Of the recent
special session Of Congress and the be-
ginning Of the present regular session.

The market broke abruptly % points

OF Eleventh STREET LINE

extension of the Eleventh Street car
