night from Parrisboro. N S. brought
report OF the mysterious actions of

cording to Capt Canning. the unknown
steamers progress was suddenly stopped,
her whistle sounded for a few minutes
continuously, then ceased and her lights
could be seen no more.
The sea was smooth at the time. and
the only explanation which Capt. Canning

that the steamer struck a ledge and sank.
Observers at St. Martins. nine miles
from the ledges. said in reply 20 tele-
phone inquiries last night that nothing
had been seen OF any steamer I'm trouble
in that vicinity. From the GLIMPSE Capt

FOREST FIRES OUT, +,
1000 PEOPLE

fires in a special train the first train TO

the fire appears to be practically out in
all OF the districts.
The fire ragged for a distance OF "a miles
along the line of the Southern and Lake
Superior railroads, and for 30 miles be-
yond Claiming the western terminus of
the road. II seems certain now that 1000
persons are homeless in that district and
that 1000 are destitute at Quinnesec. The
Qunnesec fire. however. was OF different
origin from the Escanaba fire. having
started in a field where men were pulling
stumps and burning debris. This fire
spread into the city and wiped out all the
buildings except three residences and the
paper mills.
The fire spread into the timber and.
running north for 40 miles. finally JOINED
tho flames sweeping east OF Escanaba.
IL was also learned today that Wood
lawn and Kingsley on the Escanab BAL Lake
Superior line were destroyed, and from
Perkins. on the northwestern. came num-
erous stories OF heroic battles against the
flames. Dozens OF towns were saved only
by the most desperate fights Northland
a town OF 1000 inhabitants' was three
times threatened. The FIRE was checked
each time at a distance OF only 10 yards
from the houses on the outskirts

Dowie's enemies in Zion declare he is

The overworked Dowie ego has

Long distance tyranny does not

MACHINE papers are devoting much
space to mud singing aimed at the
reform candidates. They delight in
throwing mud, but balk upon the real
issues. The question is, shall the re-
publican party be controlled by the
railroad mschine, or shall the rank
and file have the say as to who shall
be the candidates and on what prin-
ciples they shall stand? The reform
movement advocates taxation of cor
porate property on a basis equal to
that of farm and personal property,
the abolition of the pass system, the
submission of primary election sys-
TEN to the people for adoption or re-
lection, and the freeing of our state
educational institutions from machine
politics.

THERE is great rejoicing in machine
circles over the withdrawal of G. j..
Buell., who was an insrrgent candidate
for congress for fifteen minutes or
more. While Buell. was candidate
the machine said it amounted tonoth-
ing; since he has withdrawn they say
it has killed the insurgent movement.
The fact is that Buel in or out OF
he race cuts no figure. There is an
insurgent element in the Hills that
will make a fight. But it takes
mighty little to make the machine
feel good, if that little can be con
strued ro be against the inslmgent
movement, which the Argus-Leader
once said could be put in quinine
box. One would hardly think SC
small an insurrection as the A. Il. pro,

THERE are many who have believed
for a long time that the political ma
chine controlling the republican party
of this state was very corrupt, but if
the amount of corruption that the ma
chine is charging against those who
have deserted the organization is any
criterion by which to judge those who
remain, the state of affairs is far worse
than those outside the circle ever
