The Levenworth Post, a strong

that Stubs did not receive, or dis

that there is not the slightest evi.

Mr.. drummer ought not to lend
himself to the authors of the

the silly SANDER upon Kansas,
that the Republican slump at the
polls was due to Standard Oil

by so doing would convict him

Yes. that is so. Two years ago
the Star supported Mr.. Hoch, and
he received SO, 754 majority. This

INSURANCE MEN ARE SLOW.
Rebuilding Stopped Because They Do
Not Paw Losses.

San Francisco, May 81. Building
operations in the ruined portions of
this city have received a decided set
back owing to the dilatory tactics of the
underwriters. Almost before the ruins
had cooled the owners of large build
ings in the business section which had
not been destroyed beyond restoration
planned for their speedy and complete
rehabilitation. In few days after the
great fire throngs of men were engaged
in strengthening the shells and clearing
away the debris of the great Office
buildings and hotels in the downtown
district.
Today the men engaged in the Crock
err, Shreve, Mutual Savings bank build
ing and the st. Francis hotel in these
operations were given notice that all
work must cease because of lack of funds
Accordingly the army of laborerg and
skilled mechanics who were making
the ruins of the great buildings hives
OF industry were laid off, and quietness
once more reigns in these sections of
the devastated district.
