KETLY's .evTNDTCATION. 8

There seems to be an attempt in
several quarters to create the impress

Treasurer Kelly
The recent story in a Kansas City
paper alleging that no shortage in the
state treasury has been found under
Kelly's administration. but that there
is shortage of $1,000 during the
Grimes administration, is made the
basis for this attempt. In some in
stances this story has been accepted
for the report itself. and it has been
said that it refutes the Rowett report.
Governor Hoch's denial of any
knowledge of the matter indicates that
the story emanated from the region of
the treasurer's office. How much truth
there is in it the State Journal does not
know.

Ellsworth T. B. Quarterly Meeting

Ellsworth +. Ii. Quarterly Meeting.
CLIFTON, Nov. Is (special)-The Nov
ember session OF the Ellsworth Free Bap-
fist quarterly meeting was held with the
East Franklin church Nov. 17-19. Owing to
the beginning OF season OF cold weather
and hard travelling, not many delegates
were present at the business conference,
sufficient, however, to transact the little
business that had to be done which passed
off in harmonious manner, leaving the
remainder of the session clear for the
more active and religious services.
Friday evening a stirring sermon was
delivered by Bro. Golding, followed by
spiritual and interesting testimony SER
vice. Saturday morning the appearance
OF Rev. s. G. Whitcomb brought cheer to
all hearts. He was valuable help through
out the session, and was much appreciated
by all present.
Franklin being the home of Rev. Mr..
Lorimer at the present time, he rendered
valuable aid during the meeting, which
was also very gratifying; also Rev. ID. b.
Smith. Harmony and good fellowship
were manifest. Although the weathe was
quite disagreeable, the meetings were
fairly well attended, and while no marked
interest W as manifested, the services were
interesting and profitable throughout.

TWO BAD FIRES.
G. r.. sinclair's Fifth Loss-Howard
A.. Walker Burned Out.

&. r.. sinciair's Fifth Loss Howard
A. Walker Burned Out.
The fire ficnd which seems TO pursue
Charles r. Sinclair relenilessly, again
turned his family out into cold winter
night last Thursday at midnight. The fire
destroyed his house and barn with the
greater part OF contents.
About o'clock Thursday evening a
lamp in the upper hall caught tire around
the burner. Mrs. Sinclair started 10 move
IL. but the heat had melted the solder and
the lamp fell. The oil blszed up and cut
OF Mrs. Sinciair's retreat by the stairway.
In her fright she climbed out on piazza
roof and jumped or fell TO the ground,
spraining her back aud one ankle badly.
The fire, II was supposed, was fully ex-
tinguished, after some flooring had been
ripped up. Mr.. Sinclair remained up to
see that no spark remained, and saw no
evidence Of IL. About midnight he went
TO the cellar To attend the furnace, and
when he returned the fire had again
broken out. II had worked its way
through between the flooring to the clap
boarding OF the house, and when discov-
cred seemed 20 be coming up the outside
OF the house.
In the gale which was blowing the fire
burned fiercely. The house was beyond
the hydrant limits, and though an alarm
was turned in and the firemen responded,
they could be of no assistance in extin-
gushing the flames.
The fire spread rapidly to shed and barn.
Only a few articles OF furniture were
saved from the lower part OF the house.
Three horses and two harnesses were saved
from the barn. All the bedding and
clothing of Mr.. Sinciair's large family
were burned In the barn were about
fifteen tons Of hay and two tons OF barley.
The loss is about 5000 with insurance OF
q, 100.
This is fine fifth time Mr.. Sinclair has
been a severe sufferer by fire, having been
burned out completely three times.
The house of Howard A. Walker, on
Bayview street, was burned early yesterday
morning. The fire started in some wood
near the furnace in the cellar, and was
burning iiercely when discovered. The
house was Quilted before the fire was A.
nsIly extinguished. Neighbors who were
early at the fire turned their attention to
saving such OF the furniture as they could,
but large part OF the contents was de-
stroyed. The loss Is estimated at about
q, 500; insurance, 800.
