Newport Wholesale Grocer Co.,, Freight Depots and v
 Beer House Burned. ORIGIN OF BLAZE IS NOT AS YET KNOWN.

dreds of freight cars which stood upon the tracks, the engines from the Batesville passenger and No. 12 also being pressed into service to get all the nova ble property out of the way of flames and the millions of flying sparks and frebrands. The coaches of the branch passenger were also removed and only two box cars were lost, both being loaded.
 THE BURNED BUILDINGS.
 The Anderson elevator, where the fire originated, was owned and occupied by the Newport Wholesale Grocer Company, stood about midway between the main line track of the Iron Mountain and White river, and was a four story frame structure built there several years ago for grain ele- vator. but more recently has been used as a store-room and warehouse by the grocer com- pany.
 The beer house, as it was known, was the property of the Wm. J. Lemp Brewing Company of St. Louis and used as a ware house for the product of that brewery by the agent here, J. B. Doherty.
 The Iron Mountain freight de- pot, opposite the elevator, was a long one-story building, standing between the switching tracks. The pumping plant was just across a single track from the depot, and furnished water from the river to the tank and up- right water pipes, from which every engine on the road was supplied.
 The mammoth elevator and warehouse on the bank of the river was also railroad property and used for storage of freight either to or from the boats ply ing in White river.
 THE LOSSES AND INSURANCE.
 The Anderson building was valued at $10,000 and was in- sured for $6,000. The loss on the stock is $75,O0O, with insu- rance amounting to $7O,OOO. All the companies sustaining losses are represented by the Phillips & Ferguson agency.
 The Lemp building was in- sured, also by the Phillips & Fer guson agency, for $1,200, while S1, 900 was carried on the con- tents.
 Freight Agent Robinson esti- mated that there was about $6,- 900 worth of freight in the depot and stated that insurance was carried on all the railroad prop erty destroyed, but was unable to give the exact figures.
 THE FIRES ORIGIN.
 The origin of the costly fire of Monday night is a complete mys- tery and will probably remain so. There had been no fire about the building, and when first discov- cred was bursting from the roof in great sheets of flame.
 But little was saved from any of the burning buildings. A small part of the brewery stock was rolled out, and the books,

A. c. Anderson of the New port Grocer Company stated on Tuesday morning that his firm would rebuild at once, and that their business would not be ma- terially interfered with.

PNEUMONIA WORST
CHICAGO DISEASE
One-Sixth of Past Years Deaths
in City Traced to This
Cause.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Oct. 7. pneumonia caused
one-sixth of the deaths in Chicago last
year, according to the last bulletin is
sued by the Chicago health department.
The statistics of the havoc which the
disease plays with human lives show
that its harvest is becoming larger
every year, and that in 1908, ST. per
cent more fatalities than from all other
infectious and contagious diseases were
caused by it.
Cerebro-spinal fever, erysipelas, diph-
liberia and kindred diseases combined
did not make a heavy inroad into the
ranks of the population. The promin-
emit place which pneumonia has of late
years taken among the causes of deaths
is not only permanent, but increasing
every year, says the bulletin. This is
due partly to a steadily growing num-
Der Of cases, and partly to the manner
in which the other malignant diseases
are successfully combated by the medi-
cal profession and the manner in which
pneumonia to great extent defes all
curative treatment. @."
The decrease in the consumption
death rate between 1900 and 1903 is
4.8 per cent. The increase in the pnell-
monia death rate. during the same pc,

acter, but that he was impelled to DO
by every motive of party and personal
interest, and nobody finds fault with
him because of it. Farther than that
he will not go. 5
A good many of the anti Odell lead
ers have Informed him, with more or less
circumstantial detail, that Odell is not
at heart supporting him., but this has
not aroused White House suspicious. On
the surface. and below the surface
wherever it has been possible to look,
Odell is heartily supporting the presi-
dent, and as long as this is the case
there will be clear sailing for the presii;,
should be found to be lukewarm or
two-faced in his support Of Roosevelt,
that fact will come out, and then there
will be trouble. But I do not look for
it. Odell has sacrificed everything to
his ambition, and that ambition, if it is
ever realized, must not rest under the
odium Of party treason. Odell knows
being sane and exceedingly clever, he
is rot likely to make such fatal mis-
take. But his enemies do not give him
credit for sincerity in his support of
Roosevelt, and are watching him close
ly, in, the hope Of discovering some sign
Of treachery. " - ~.'~ 2|-"
Would Retire Odell.
The goal Of the Odell opposition is
the defeat of Higgins for governor, for
that defeat would retire Odell from his
place of party boss and deal a death
blow to his aspiring either to the senate
or the presidency. To give the electoral
vote Of the state to Roosevelt will not
save him, for if Roosevelt should car
ry the state, which I am tempted to
say he is, likely to do, Odell would not
have exclusive credit. That result, if
accomplished at all, will be thru the
loyal cooperation of both party fac
ttlons. One side will be entitled to as
mucn credit as the other. In order to
save himself, then, Odell must win out
with Higgins for governor, and this
seems improbable. = @5&-
However, the election is still a
month away, and the pendulum may
move back and forth several times be-
fore it finally gives a definite indica-
ton of what will happen. At this time
the chances, while SO evenly balanced
as to make prediction risky, seem to in.
dictate that Roosevelt will carry the
course, this opinion is tentative and
subject to change if conditions change.
