Destructive FIRE
Hanscom Building on Pacific Az.
enue Partially Destroyed by
Fire Monday Night.

In the different churches were about
to be closed Monday evening the dole
ful sounds of the fire whistle at the
power house announced another visit
OF the fire fend. This time the old A.
B. Hanscom building on Pacific ave-
nue. was the victim and before the de-
partment had succeeded in putting out
the fire the back part Of the building
was quite badly damaged.
The fire was discovered about 9:3O
by Night Policeman Stephens, and be-
ing unable to get the power house by
telephone he hurried to that place in
person and turned in the alarm. The
fire department soon arrived on the
scene and after two hours of hard and
efficient work they had the fire under
control.
The first story OF the building was
occupied by Hanscom's confectionery
and the Minneapolis restaurant and
it is in the shed back of the former
place that the fire is supposed to have
originated. AS soon as the alarm had
been given, willing hands commenced
the work of removing goods and fix
tu: es and much of these were saved.
The damage to the building, which
was erected in 1882 at cost of about
$1,000, is about 81, 500 with no insur-
ance. 1t was insured for 81, 900 until
about six weeks ago, when the insur-
ance for some reason or other was
cancelled. w. r. Swenson, the pro-
prietor of the Minneapolis restaurant,
estimates his loss at about 1000,
with $500 insurance. When the fire
occurred he had just completed the
work OF re-papering, repainting and
repairing the interior and of install.
ing new fixtures, among which was an
independent gas light system costing
$76, and had succeeded in making his
place of business one OF the neatest
and most inviting in the city. Now
the interior is entirely demolished and
if Mr.. Swenson is to continue his
business In the same place ali the
work must be done over again. He
has not as yet decided what to do, al
though it is probable that he will not
resume business for some time to
come. He is at present temporarily
located in the John Gund Brewing
company's building Immediately west
Of his former location.
OF the eight rooms upstairs the four
on the sou:h side were the only ones
damaged by the fire. OF these the one
farthest east, underLe ath which the
fire is supposed to have started, was
occupied by Isaac Emerson. He al.
leges that on the said Monday even
ing he sought peace and repose on his
bed at eight O'Clock and that about
two hours later he was rudely awak.
ened by large pieces of plastering fall
ing directly and with great force from
the ceiling upon his person. Where
upon he hastily left his habitatior
without being able to rescue any O.
his belongings. He is said to haye
remarked that he lost all he possessed
and-that wasn't much. The suite O.
rooms occupied by Benjamin Water
man was left unstained by the frt
fend, presumably on account of iti
extreme wetness.
Mr.. Hanscom has not as yet decided
whether the building is to be repaired
or not.

MER|TED RECOGNITION
Willmar Citizen Remembers Chief
of Police Bonde With Christ.
mas Gift for His Son.

That Willmar has a most efficient
police officer, as we'll as good street
commissioner and park overseer, in
the person of Chief Of Police Peter
Bonde, has often been expressed by
our citizens, but it remained for one
Willmarite to show his appreciation
in q more substantial way of good
services rendered. This mark of ap
probation came last Saturday after.
noon in the form of q little savings
bank containing a sum of money, the
depository being one of the kind is
sued by the Bank of Willmar. The
donor was Mr.. W. J. Pinney and the
gift was presented to our worthy
guardian of the peace to be used for
his little son Harold. Accompanying
this testimonial of esteem was the fol-
lowing note, all of which will be treas
ured by the recipients as very pleas
ant remembrance OF the Christmas
season of 1904:
MR. PETER BONDE,
City.
This bank with contents is for your
son and is given him as a mark of ap-
probation of your good work rs an
Off Ger and especially as sire e. CON-
m ssiOner and park Overseer. l do
not think you get compensation equal
to services rendered the city, and while
l can't make it up to you | want to
show you that as one of Willmar's
citizens we appreciate your work.
A Merry Christmas.

~. AS five members constitute a ma
jority Of that body it will be seen that
there is the possibility Of a transforma-
ton in it's composition in the course
of the next administration that may be
of vast moment to this republic.
But while the nation may be passing
through transition period. and while
attempts may be made to force new
theories and policies of government on
the American people. there is little rea :
son to fear that there VIII be any radi-
cal departure from the fundamental
principles and traditions that govern
us today. There will be changes OF
course, but they will be in the direction
of rational improvement of existing in
situations and not changes that carry
with them the practical or actual over
throw Of those institutions.

REPUBLICAN THUNDER ON TRUST
QUESTION

The republican campaign book. 1t Ia
given out from party headquarters In
Washington. will not make its appear
ance until after the democratic con-
vention at st. Louis has finished its
work.
The republican convention did not
make q feature of the trust question in
Its platform, and democrats are talking
OF the possibility Of the introduction
OF some well worded declaration on
that subject to catch the popular APP
proval. In that event more space will
be given to the trust question In the
republican campaign book than would
otherwise be the case. A few Of the
delegates at Chicago believed 1t would
have been well to introduce the trust
question prominently In the republican
platform, a. they feared the democrats
might force that as an issue, az Bryan
forced silver in 1896. when Mr.. Nc
Elnley and many other republican lead
ers thought the tariff would be the
issue Of the campaign.
Should the democrats place the trust
question prominently in their platform

stated, win BE- provided with very
ehsrough histsry Of trust legislation
and executive action in relation to the

would nominate candidate on a plat
form that would ignore dead issues.
The convention must then ignore ev-
erything that the democrats have had
in their platforms for several cam
paigns past. The speakers speech,
would seem to indicate that the plat
form would deal principally in abuse
and ridicule OF the republican party.
