Monday afternoon at about 2 80
O'Clock the fire department was call
ed out, the Rock Island depot being
afire. The fire started in the roof and
seemed to be burning from the under
side. II was a stubborn fire. but the
fire boys. as usual soon had the fire
under control. 1t is mystery how
the building caught fire, but it is
thought that an engine that passed
by several hours before, must have
thrown some sparks upon the roof.

MT. wiIllam.'n Leadership.

New York world,
 The leadership of John Sharp Will Hams has become very distasteful to a faction of the minority in the House of Representatives. It could not be otherwise. How can a Democratic leader satisfy Socialists who are en- deavoring to get the machinery of the minority organization into their own hands? Naturally he cannot satisfy them. The better Democrat he is the further he must fall short of winning Socialistic approval, even when the So- cialists to mask their purposes pose as Democrats.
 There will be bitter struggle be- tween the real Democrats and the dis Ss'wmtsed Socialists for the control of the next Democrats National Convention. The disguised Socialists have already I.eeun the battle and are trying to cap tnre the Democratic organization in the House. MT. Williams may feel some I,bst uncomfortable while they are shelIing his works. but he can have the satisfaction of knowing that any other saai democrat as leader of the minority would probably be just as objectionable to this element.
