PARTY AND ITS PLAT.
FORM.

The Lincoln party, which took an
active part in the overthrow of the
Philadelphia ring, has nominated a
complete State ticket in Pennsyl-
vcna.
Former State Senator Lewis En-
DRY. Jr.. of Bradford, is the nominee
for governor. Rudolph Blankcnburg
was named for lieutenant governor:
George w. Merrick. for auditor gen
eral; Elisha a. Corey, for secretary
of internal affairs Mr.. Emery has
fought the Standard Oil Company
for years.
All of these names have been
more or less familiar in the various
campaigns that were conducted 10
overthrow the late Matthew S. Quay.
The Lincoln party is, In fact. an in
dependent reform branch of the Re-
publican party.
The platform calls attention TO
the fact that railroad discrimina-
ton, consolidation of competing
lines, engaging IN mining and other
business by transportation compan
les. contract preferences and free
passes have all been forbidden ny
the State constitution for genera
tion. 1t demands that the law he
enforced. 1t proposes To create a
State railroad commission with pow
ers similar to- those of he Inter
state Commerce Commission.
If the Democrats OF The State will

and such action would not be stultifi-
ton In the face of the platform
adopted, the State ring might be
placed in the position of hnmlia-
ton and defeat now occupied by the
Philadelphia gang.

Mother and Two Little Ones Lose
Lives in Burning Home.

New York, Dec. 24.-Mrs. Alice
Linen McWithey and her children,
Helen, six years old, and Elizabeth,
four years old, were burned to death
in fire that destroyed their home at
Pompton Lakes, N. J. The mother
and children were the only occupants
o. the house when the fire started.
1t. McWithey is a jewelry engraver
employed in New York and at the holi-
day time was obliged to remain in the
city during the night.
How the fire started is not known.
Neighbors were aroused by the cries
of Mrs. McWithey and when they went
to her aid they found the whole lower
part of the house in flames. The vii
layers got to work with buckets but
their efforts to subdue the fire were
futile and the house was reduced to
ruins.
Mrs. McWithey had found the
escape of herself and children cut off
and she was seen standing at win
dow appealing for help. Before a
ladder could be procured Mrs. Nc
Withey fell, overcome by the flames.
After the ruins cooled sufficiently a
search was made for the bodies. In
the cellar was found portion of Mrs.
McWithey's body and a fragment of
the body of one of the children.

Mr.. Macarthur has made very eff

has been shown by their handsome
gift. The pay of rural carrier is
too small for this part of the coun-

him to make both ends meet and be
thankfully received. Mr.. Macarthur

A Needed Reform.

Prof. J. H. Kaiser, of the Warren
Business School, has an article in the
current number of the Typewriter
and Photographic World, on a ques-
tion of great Importance to those
who invest their money with a view
to acquiring business education
The article reads as follows:
Looking at the problem of compe-
tent office help from the standpoint
of the business college rather than
from that Of the business man, I am
convinced that to the college, the
business man, and amanuenses in
general, the presence Of "the numer-
ous'' incompetents in the field is es-
pecially harmful.
While it is evident that the princi-
pal cause of this incompetency is la
ziness, and lack of preparation on
the part Of the would-be stenogra-
pher or bookkeeper, the cheap busi-
ness college directly fosters such a
condition by furnishing very poor fa-
cilities for obtaining a business edu-
cation. We are cursed with schools
of this class in northern Minnesota.

FIRE At CHICAGO CAUSES LOSS
OF $500, 600.
Nearly Entire Square Block Wiped

Chicago, Dec. 24-St. Stanislaus
Kostka parochial school and adjacent
church properties, occupying nearly an
entire square block at Noble, Ingra.
ham and Bradley streets and Elston
avenue, were destroyed early Saturday
ini one of the tiercest fires of the year,
causing a property damage of nearly
100000. Only prompt action on the
part of firemen saved from destruction
the st. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic
church just south of the burned struc-
ture. Had this been destroyed it is
estimated the damage would have
reached $2,00o,000.
,sMembers of 81 engine companies
fought the flames from all sides and
aided in the rescue of 100 nuns who
We're in the burning structure. Police
also assisted and it was through their
efforts that serious accidents were
averted.
The parochial school is attended by
1000 children. Showers of sparks
lgnited frame structures across the
street in Bradley street and the occu-
pants of these fled in panic, carrying
their belongings with them. 1t was
three hours before the flames were
finally placed under conrro1. While
the fire was at it's height hundreds of
parishioners ran to the church steps
and sunk on their knees in prayer.
The st. Stanislaus Kostka Roman
Catholic church properties are valued
at more than $2,000,000. The church
is massive structure built on old Ro-
man architecture and is considered the
largest of it's kind in Chicago and the
middle west. 1t has frontage of
about 200 feet in Noble street and
runs back in Ingraham street for 300
feet.
