A Tribute to Guy 7. HARRISON.

Hon. Guy T. HARRISON, who was shot
and instantly killed on the morning Of
July 81, near his home at Gainesville,
Mo-, was born in Tazewell County, Va,
Nov. 20, 1863. He left Tazewell in
1885, and during the same year settled
near Gainesville, Ozark County, Mo-,
where he resided continuously until the
time of his death.
In 1890 Mr.. Harrison was elected to
the office of clerk and recorder of the
circuit court of Ozark county. He took
up the study of law in 1902, and in Oc-
tober, 1903, was admitted to the bar.
He was several times elected prose-
cutting attorney for his county, also
held an important Office under appoint
ment from President Mckinley, and
was elected delegate to the National
Republican Convention held in Philadel-
phia in 1900.
The Gainesville Democrat of July rs,
says; ''Mr. Harrison was man highly
esteemed and loved by all who knew
him. In all he said and did affecting
the public welfare of the people he had
the purest motives. For all the princi-
Piles he embraced he had the deepest
convictions. For law and justice ne
had the profoundest respect. He be-
lieved in religion and education and as
sisted in propegating the principles OF
each.
"In the family his loveliest traits OF
character were displayed to their full
est. Affectionate, kind, tender, he was
q model husband and father, and was
adored by loved ones at home. "
He leaves wife, six children, eight
sisters, two brothers, many relatives
and a host of friends to mourn their ir-
loss.

Max Meadows Still on Top.

Max Meadows, Va, Aug. 5.-Max
Meadows is developing several freaks
of late. In April last Cecil & Co. or
dered box of palm-leaf fans from
Chas. Broadway Rouss, of New York.
On the 18th day of July the "cheep" of
a newly Matched chicken was heared in
the box. Investigation discovered
within the boxltwo chickens just Matched
out and two more eggs pipped. These
two eggs were placed under a hen and
Matched out. Three of the chickens are
alive and doing we'll. The eggs were
evidently shipped in the box as there
was no way for them to get in other
wise, and were finally Matched by
natural heat.

HOBOKEN HAS
100000 FIRE
Flames Break Out Near Midnight and
Burn Flerc6ly for Two Hours.
NO LIVES KNOWN TO BIZ LOST
Lackawanna Railway Terminal is Swept
Away-Steamship Docks Threatened
With Destruction Escape.

New York, Aug. 8,-Inside three
quarters of an hour late tonight fire
swept away the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma & Western Railroad Company's ter
minal in Hoboken, seized two ferry
boats and practically ruined them, and
for half an hour threatened the rest Of
the water front in the vicinity, includ-
ing the Hamburg-American and North
German Lloyd steamship docks at which
several big ships were lying. The loss
to property is estimated at between
$500, 900 and 100000. So far as known
no lives were lost.
For over an hour huge tongues Of
fame leaped from the wooden struc-
lures on the Lackawanna docks, light
ing the New Jersey and New York Wa~
ter fronts. For time it threatened
loss greater than that of the big dock
fire of several years ago when the
North German Lloyd piers were de-
stroyed with great loss of life.
Blazing ferry boats, cut from their
docks, foatedin the river, wandering
fire ships, which for time endangered
shipping.
The fire started on an old wooden fer
ry boat and swept by northerly breeze,
communicated with the ferry house,
spread to the main building Of the Lack
awanna and then to the Dukes House,
famous Hoboken hosiery. The hotel
was frame structure and was a ready
prey for the flames. =,
By this time the flames were spread
ing in all directions utterly beyond the
control of the few first fire fighters who
had responded to the first alarms.
Following the hotel, the structure of
the public service corporation-the
street car operating company of HokO-
ken, Jersey City and nearby places !
went down before the flames. At 1
O'Clock this morning the fire was under
control and the steamship piers had
been saved.
A remarkable feature of the great
blaze was that inside of twenty min
utes after its start it had seized upon
the Lackawanna's terminal and swept
it's six hundred feet of train sheds DOOM
ing them.
The flames started from an unknown
cause on the old wooden ferry boat
Hopatcong which had been tied up in
the open slip between the Hamburg
docks and the Christopher street ferry
slips. The fire was discovered about IL
o'clock. 1t was then leaping from the
boiler room below the main deck through
the engine room and attacking the
wooden susperstructure.
A Waterman on the ferry dock turn
ed in calls for the city department and
also for the Lackawanna fire brigade.
Almost before the company's men could
lay line of hose and before the city
fremen could reach the scenes, the
flames had leaped to the ferry Office
building between the piers and then 70
the brand new ferry boat Binghamton,
which was lying in the northern slip of
the Barclay street line.

THE fact that the board Of Police
and Fire Commissioners is having
difficulty in filing places in the de-
partments, and that there are no APP
plicants for places on the list of eligi-
b1es, shows better than anything else
the state of the labor market in Keno
sha and the nprecedented prosperity
the city is enjoying. The positions
give steady employment at good
wages, and not SO very long ago we're
eagerly sought after. Now labor is
in such demand, and at such high
wages that these once coveted places
practically go begging. There is no
long waiting list to choose from, and
if sudden call is made on the Com
missioners for additional men they
may have to go outside the city to get
them. 1t shows that work is plenty
in Kenosha when there is no compe-
tition for as good places as those in
either of the departments.

HAD STRENUOUS TIME
Fred B. MiIIigan and Miss Nettie
Parker Married Satur.
day Evening
FRIENDS ENTERTAIN THEM

There was quiet wedding at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Pierson
on Milwaukee avenue at O'Clock
Saturday evening, the contracting
parties being Miss Nettie Parker,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Parker, and Fred B. Mi11igan the
genial superintendent of the Citizens
Telephone and Telegraph company.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Justice George B. McCar-
ron in the presence of few friends
of the contracting parties.
Mr.. Milligan had planned that the
wedding should be quiet little sur
prise for his friends and those of his
wife, and for this reason nothing had
been said in regard to the plans for
the wedding. Late Saturday after
noon Mr.. Milligan had gone to the
county court and secured a permit
for the wedding, and it was thought
that the plans were known only to
the friends who were to be present at
the ceremony. It was simply another
case of "the best laid Plans" for
later in the evening it seemed that
every one of their friends in the city
had been told of the wedding.
| After the wedding dinner had been
served at the Pierson home, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mi1ligan went to the apartments
of the groom in the Meyers block. A
signal had been given to the friends
on the outside, and from the time the
young couple entered the room there
was continual jang1e of telephone
bells. People in all parts Of the city
called up Superintendent Milligan
and demanded repairs for phones,
until he thought that the entire
Citizens system had been struck by a
storm and completely demolished
Some of the complaints were insis.
tent, and demanded that Mi11igan il
person come at once to repair the
| phones. He finally decided to &C
down to the Office and look into the
matter, when just as he opened the
door to leave dozen persons armed
with all sorts of instruments suited
for making noise broke into the room.
| For more than an hour the char
ivari continued. Hundreds of people
lgathered in front of the Meyers
block, attracted by the din, and when
they discovered the cause of the
excitement they remained to assist in
the merry making. It was long after
midnight when the crowd finally dis
persed.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Milligan will leave il
a few days for short wedding trip
after which they will return to Keno
sha to make their home. They will
be at home to their friends after Octo
Der /. The bride and groom have thu
best wishes of host of friends.

HOLDS ON TO MONEY
Secretary Jones Of the Kenosha
Yeomen Declines to Pay It
Out Without Courts Order
YEoMENs' TROUBLES CROW

Sydney M. Jones, secretary of the
local council of the Yeomen of Amer
lea, still holds the money that has
been paid into the local chapter
treasury for insurance, and on the ad-
vice of his attorneys he will not turn
the money over to either the Ameri-
can Guild or the new Yeomen man
agen1ent until such time as the
courts have decided as to the rights
of the contending factions.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
council at its meeting on Thursday
evening decided in favor of uniting
with the contesting faction, Jones
holds that this faction has no assets
to pay policies, and that they could
not have the assets until they are
turned back by the court. In the
meantime he has gone personally to
the members of the council, and a
majority of them have decided that
they do not desire the policies issued
by the American Guild, and he has
been personally ordered by these
members not to send any money to the
Guild as payment Of dues on the poll
cies. Under the strict Interpretation
of the action of the council Jones
would pay.the money over to the bolt
ing members, but he holds that it
would be unfair for him to do this
without written order from each of
the individual members.
In the meantime the insurance poll
cies of the more than two hundred
KenoshaRmembers of the order are in
jeopardy. It seems certain that these
members do not care to go into the
they are'desirous of receiving the pro-
lection as far as they have paid.
The fight between the factions has
given the order black eye in Keno
sha, and for the present no effort is
being made to secure new members,
aud it is probable that the present
members would refuse to admit any
new members until the contest is set
tied. Some Of the members have
threatened to withdraw, and it is
stated that these people will lose only
a small amount of money, as the order
has been in existence in Kenosha for
only a little more than year. The
annual, dues on an average amount to
about SIP for member, so that the
failure Of the entire society would re-
suit in only small loss to Kenosha
people, and every one affected has
been insured so long as they have
paid dues. Attorneys are being con.
suited, and it is thought that the body
Of members will be nearly unanimous
in endorsing the action of Jones in
refusing to pay over their money until
the legal status of the contending
| factions is settled.

So MUCH prominence has been
given to the transfer question that
some of the other provisions of the
franchise under which the Street Rail
way company is operating have been
overlooked by the authorities. 1t
may be that the Street Railway COM

rying cut the plain intent of the
trainers of the. ordinance on these

just as it has on the transfer ques-

FIGHTS IN HIS SLEEP
Leander Merrick Dreams of Burg.
lars in the House and Pro.
ceeds to Fight Way Out
ATTENDANT WAGNER INJURED

Shortly after midnight this morn
ing the police were called to the resi-
dence of Jacob Wagner on South Ex-
charge street on account of the fact
that Leander Merrick, an incompe-
tent person, had shown signs Of vio-
1ence and had injured Wagner, who
was acting as his attendant.
The trouble was all the result of a
dream. Merrick was formerly one of
the wea1thiest farmers in the town of
Randall, but recently he was adjudged
incompetent in the county court and
guardian appointed for him. He
had been taken to the Wagner home
and Mr.. Wagner was employed to
care for him.
Merrick had been up later than
usual Tuesday night and after he re-
tired he dreamed that there were
burglars in his room. The dream
was such vivid one that the old
man decided to defend himself against
the supposed intruders. In his sleep
he 1eaped from the bed and selling a
goblet which was on table rear the
bed, he made for the attendant and
hurled the goblet at him. The heavy
glass struck Wagner in the back OF
the head and caused an ugly flesh
wound.
When Merrick was aroused from
his sleep he still 1abored under the
impression that there were burglars
in the house, and he was so violent
that nothing could be done with him,
and the police were summoned to the
house. After considerable trouble
the fears of the old man were allayed
and he returned to his bed.
Merrick is in critical condition,
and seems to be suffering from con-
tinued Authorizations. The county
court has declined to find the old man
insane, and he must be kept here
under the care of a guardian.
