A POWER HOUSE BURNS
Fire Destroys the Plant Of the E7ec-
Tic Line at Wolcott

Kansas City. Mo, Sept. 4.-The loss
on power house of the Kansas City &
Leavenworth Railway company at
Wolcott, kan, Is miles west of Kan
sas City, which was destroyed by fire
last night. is today placed at S150,-
600. The insurance is IS per cent Of
the loss.
Service on the line was stopped by
the fire and the officials of the com
pany at once began negotiations with
the Metropolitan Street Railway com
pany for a temporary supply of power
from the Kaw river plant on the West
side.
C. F. Holmes. president of the Kan
sas City Western company. is in
Europe. In his absence c. S. Hutch
ings, general attorney of the company,
took charge of the negotiations with
the Metropolitan. It Is expected that
arrangements will be made so that
cars can be run today. Plans for re-
building will be made at once.
The fire is thought to have been
caused by a cross wire in a new gen
orator recently installed. It broke out
at $50 o'clock. The waterworks
pumps in the place were rendered
useless. The big car barn to the north
was saved by the wind blowing from
the north away from it. All cars were
removed. The Missouri Pacific de-
tached an engine from a train to pull
cars from the building, but it was not
needed In Leavenworth the power
was closed down and hundreds of
picnickers were forced to walk threa
miles in to town from parks.

FOR FREE TOBACCO.
Taft Pleads for Justice to Philippine
Growers.

New York, Sept. 4.-secretary of War
Taft has sent a letter to the manage
ment of the tobacco exposition now in
progress in Ndedfson Square Garden this
city in which he wrote that it should
be shown ITO the members of the trade
present at the exposition what I think
can certainly be shown that the passage
of the proper Philippine tariff bill will
not in any substantial way interfere
with the tobacco trade of the United
States"
Mr.. Taft added:
The demand for tobacco is so enor-
nous and the capacity of the Philippine
Islands to produce it under the condi-
uons of labor, the irregularities of trop-
ical agriculture and the difficulties of
securing capital are such as to make
any injury to the tobacco trade of the
United States from allowing the Philip
pine tobacco to come in at 25 per cent of
the Dingley rate for three years and
free after 1909, utterly impossible on
the other hand the tobacco interests are
comparatively so small in the Philip
pine Islands that to give another market
like that of the United States to the is
lands would add something to the pros
per1ty of the industry in the islands. but
what is more important it would give
to the people of the islands, a visible.
tangible evidence of the interest of this
country in the people of those islands.
This is the important feature Of the

THE MULE DRANK BEER
Animal LINED Up at Leavenworth
Bar and Given Its FIJI.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept 4.-The
Times says: over 100 persons yester-
day saw a mule led into the Star of
the West saloon where it lined up at
the bar with a number of coal miners
apd drank its fill of beer from a gal
vanized bucket after which it was led
out into the street, there hitched to
it's cart which 1t had drawn through
the streets in the Labor day parade
and after being given a chew of to-
bacco started off for the Home mine.
The mule works in the mine and is
a great pet with the men, but it is
badly spoiled 1t absolutely refuses to
work in the morning until one of
the miners gives it a. chew of tobac-
CO when it starts out and slaves hard
all day. Yesterday morning when it
was hitched to the coal car for the
parade there were four little boys in
the cart. 1t was quite restless and re-
mained so until the men gave It a
chew of tobacco. Wash Lift is au-
thority for the statement that it was
fed dime plug of tobacco during the
entire parade.
It was after the parade had dis
banded that John Werly claimed it
would be impossible to get the mule
inside his place Wash Lift not only
had the mule taken into the saloon,
but lined up at the bar and the mi
ners present got a bucket. The ami
NAL seemed to enjoy the beer huge
ly and was somewhat averse to being
taken out of the place. He didn't
stagger a bit when driven out.

VERMONT is VOTING.
The Regular Biennial state Election Is
in Progress.

Montpelier. VT, Sept. National
issues do not figure to any extent in
the biennial state election which is be-
ing held IN Vermont today, as the con-
test for governor is not a straight one
between the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties In two congressional
districts there has been little interest
as the return of Representatives David
J. Foster of Burlington. from the First
and Kittredge Haskins of Brattleboro.
from the Second district, has been gen.
orally conceded.
The chief point Of interest in the
state election is the size of the Repub-
lican vote which Percival W. Clement
of Rutland, fusion candidate for gov
ernor, will be able to draw from the
Republican ranks. The Democrats
have no regular party men in the
field. They endorsed the candidacy of
Mr.. Clement the nominee of the So
called Independent party. Fletcher D.
Proctor IS the regular Republican can
didate for governor.

Of that language. He attracted con-
siderable attention during the cam

The reward of $4,000 which was Of

tics.

mate of Olson during his college ca
