PRUNE DRYER BURNS
EyapOrating Plant on James Elliott
Farm Destroyed Early
Wednesday Morning.

Fire originating in the tunnels OF
the large prune evaporator on the
James Elliott farm south of town,
Wednesday morning, totally destroyed
the building and its contents. The
workmen we're powerless to check the
flames, and within five minutes after
the fire was discovered the building
was ablaze from floor to roof. By
tearing down the trestle between the
dryer and warehouse, the latter build
ing was saved. Fortunately, no wind
was blowing, else Mr.. Elliott's fine
house and barn would have been
destroyed.
The evaporator was what is known
as a combination dryer, there being a
stack dryer in one end of the building
and tunnels in the other 1t had a
capacity of about 500 bushels OF
prunes, and was one of the best build
ings of its kind in the county. 1t was
owned by Wesley Elliott, who esti-
mates his loss at about $4,000. No
insurance was carried on the building
or its contents.
Mr.. Elliott will probably dry the
remainder of his crop In J. B. Nunn's
DRYER, the use of which has been gen
erously rendered him by the owner
The young man feels the loss Of his
building quite keenly, but is not in
the least discouraged and expects tC
build next year on a larger scale than
before.

Best Man Was Absent.

Millard Long was to have been best
man at the Whiteside-G Guthrie wedding
in Dallas, Sunday, but he wasn't. Tt
was all because he ruined his Sunday
trousers, just as he was leaving Cor
Wallis, so at least his friend George
Whiteside, says. Millard was all
dressed up til his best friends would
scarcely have recognized him, and his
frisky driving horse was hitched to
the buggy and waiting to start Mr..
Longs hair was anointed with goose
grease till it fairly shone, and his
shoes had been rubbed with Rising
Sun" stove polish till they we're like
mirrors. And just as he went to get
his grip to put it into the buggy, that
pesky critter, the horse, took notion
to hurry up. He hurried So did
Millard. The latter ran Til out Of
breath and finally "stubbed" his toe
and landed in a ditch. One knee was
almost dislocated and the trousers
were total wreck. That Is why there
was no best man for Clarence White
side to lean on in his hour Of trial,

the open air. She spoke in the Co
lumbia river region when she had TO
ride in a stage coach to get there.
She took part in debates with pro-
slavery editors and agitators and ad-
dressed legislative bodies and COM
mittees and conventions.
She found time. however. TO fight
for womens rights, on which she de-
liyered about 100 lectures year. The
net results of her efforts was the
granting in a much fuller measure of
civil rights TO women. Now mar
ried woman has individual rights TO
her own property and earnings and
the guardianship Of her children, but
lit was altogether different then: and
the change is largely due to Susan B.
Anthony. She was not so successful
in winning political rights for women,
though in some States they have now
full political equality. She was also
successful in winning for her sisters
the open door to educational and pro
fessional opportunities. The work
which she accomplished was noble
and vast. As she grew older her
vigor did not fail, and up 10 a few
months ago she was still writing and
lecturing for the cause she loved.
Her career is contrasted with Gar.
rison's as follows by The Sun tNew
York;
In Susan B. Anthony has passed
away woman who more than any
other member of her sex personitied
the movement for women's rights.
Her last days were cheered by the
retrospect of a long. useful and hon

good fortune. as 1t was that of her
contemporary reformer, William Lloyd
Garrison, to behold the full fruition of
her labors. The editor of THE Lib

slavery embedded in the Federal Con-
stitution: but the attainment of equal
political rights, which Susan b. An
thony looked upon rs the crown and
the safeguard of woman's emancipa-
ton, she was not destined to witness.
The movement in that direction has
seemed of late to undergo species
