Last night about o'clock fire was
discovered in the Dalton grocery store.
The blaze started in the rear room
and burned TO the ceiling, damaging
the walls and ceiling, destroying an
expensive ice box and a quantity of
groceries which were piled up in the
rear room. A quantity OF groceries
in the front room were also damaged
by smoke and water. The blaze was
easily extinguished after the arrival
of the fire department. Young Bob
McNicholas, who works for Fritz q.
Goodman, the painters, was the only
person in the building at the time the
lire was discovered. rooms upstairs
and he had retired early. and it was
with considerable difficulty that he
was awakened. The building is own
ed by Robert McNicholas. The dam
age to the building will be covered
by few hundred dollars. George Dal-
ton, of the grocery firm, made rough
estimate of the grocery loss at 1880,
which is partly covered by insurance.
AT 10 O'Clock this morning he said
he could not tell the amount OF in
surance for the papers were locked
up in the safe and he could not get
at them. guard was placed over the
premises. Only the perishable goods
will he removed till after the insur-
ance has been adjusted. The origin
of the fire is not known.

was success In athletics and he espe-
clally desired to be prominent ais q
boating man. He had not the physique
f0 gain him an entrance into the uni
versIty crew. but felt it possible for
him to stand well as an nnprofessional
oarsman
Parks spent his vacation before en-
terlng upon his senior year at Lake N.
and sent his own boat, needle shaped
affair with wide ouuiggers on either
side. up by rail- at tile hotel where
he stopped were d couple of college
girls, one Of whom had no end of con
dltions consequent upon her last exami-
nations to make up and should have
been studying rather than summering.
The other, Josephine Banning. was
rich. and II made little difference prac-
tieally whether she got a diploma or
not. but Allda Lane was poor and
doomed to the drudgery Of q school
room and her degree was OF the great
est Importance to her. Since the need

place. Miss Banning was a good
scholar. while Miss Lane dragged
along at the foot Of her class. How
ever, the latter was pretty and there
was hope for her IN another direction.
Parks met the two girls and devoted

was all wrong, for Miss Banning
didn't need husband and Miss Lane

CANNOT GET THE CARS.
Movement Of Crops Said to Be Greatly
Handicapped.

Chicago, Oct. 3.--The record corn crop
Of the country is regarded as insuring
prosperity for railroads and merchants
for the next 10 months. Farmers have
secured remuuerative prices for the crops
and they are disposed to spend their
money for the necessities as well as the
Injuries, and the latter il expectes1 to
be feature of business conditions.
1t is estimated by traffic officials that
earnings for the next eight months will
be the best in the history OF western
railroads.
Tonnage capacity is taxed to the
limit. The car scarcity is most marked
in the coal fields Of Illinois and Indiana.
in the southern lumber districts the
shortage is acute, and lumbermen are
far behind In filing orders.
In the Northwest the complint Is gen.
eral engines are SO scarce that cars have
to be held on side tracks several days
after being loaded, as motive power can
not be had.
The grain traffic is Increasing, espe-
Icially in the Northwest, and deliveries
at Chicago last week were the largest
since the middle Of September, 1904. II
was also the largest at this time in re-
cent years.

MUCH DAMAGE SOUTH.
Cotton, Sugar Cane and Lumber Injured
by Heavy Rains.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 3.-Reports Of
the storm over Louisiana and Alississip-
pi are coming in slowly. The greatest
damage seems to have been to the cot
ton crop. In those sections OF Louisiana
and Mississippi where there was ter
rife downpour for several hours the
cGtton crop Is reported to be almost
a total loss. The plants were broken
down in a way worse than has ever
been known before.
lhe sugar crop was also damaged to
large extent The cane was almost
reauy for harvesting, and it is said
that on many plantations the wind and
rain beat it down so that it will be
impossible to drain it in time to save
it.
The streams Of southern Mississippi
are an out Of their banks, and thou
sands OF logs, which had been cut and
had not been RATED to the mills, were
broken loose and carried out into Mis-
sissippi sound. The loss in lumber
alone is estimated at S250,000.

New Legislation.

SENATE MAY TIRE HIM

Washington, Oct. 3.-The senators
who monopolized the presidents time
yesterday morning did not find him dis
posed to abandon efforts to secure rail-
road rate legislation at the coming ses-
sion of Congress, as some Of them had
hoped. Senator Foraker was one Of
the first TO pay his respects, and re-
marked jocularly as he LETT the White
House that he and the President had
been "quarrelling over railroad rate leg
islation." He then added that there
was, of course, no quarrel, but implying
that the subject had been discussed.
The president apparently has no notion
Of abandoning his fight for railroad leg
islation because Of the marshalling OF
forces against him. He does not intend,
according to present indications, to call
an extra session, and although this is
the long session Of Congress, which may
last as long as public business demands
the general belief is that the senate can
tire the president ont in the railroad
controversy, at least until time when
the demands of the congressional cam
paign will be sufficient to compel the
adjournment Of Congress in order that
its members may look after their po'
| litical fences.
The president told several Of bis
callers that he never had felt better
| in his life. Notwithstanding the hare
work Of tile summer. Many members
of the senate were early callers. They
conveyed to the president not only Their
personal congratulations on his grea'
accomplishment during the summer, bu
the fluctuations Of their constituents
Clifford Pinchot, chief Of the division
Of forestry, was the first caller. H
was followed by James r. Garfield, com
mission Of corporations, and Secretar.
Hitchcock of the interior department.
