Big Fire in PineviIle.
Nearly Half the Business
Portion Of the Town Des-
trOYed.

IOyeQ.
Charlotte Observer, March 9th.
A fire that started at 12. 80
O'Clock last night destroyed near
Iy half of the business section of
Pineville, causing loss of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000
The stores burned were: The
Carolina Drug Store, Miss Tolly
Funk's millinery establishment,
and dry goods store, and the store
of Manson & Company, general
merchants.
The fire started in the Carolina
Drug Store. Its origin is not
known. The blaze was we'll under
way before it was discovered, and
the flames spread rapidly, being
famed by lively breeze. The
fire lighting facilities of the town
of Pineville are limited and it
was early seen that the frame
stores of Miss Funk and Manson
u Company were doomed. The
next store on that side of the
street was that of j. j. Morrow
& Company, a two-story brick
structure, and here the fight was
made to check the fire. Almost
the entire male population of the
village turned out and made
every effort to check the progress
of the flames.

Yesterday was certainly a red
letter day IN the history of the
Cotton Growers Association of
Lancaster county. Notwith-
standing the fine weather for
farm work, hundreds of members
of the association and their friends
laid down their work at home
and came to town TO hear Pres

Southern Association, and others
speak. There were representa-
tive farmers here from all parts
Of the county, many of them re-
siding over 20 miles distant,
And they were all we'll repaid
for coming to town on "Jordan
Day" A substantial farmer who
lives beyond Halle Gold Mine
remarked to us after the me citing
that he felt at least five dollars
better off by having heard what

there were many persons who
went away because they were
unable to gain admission.
In addition to the orator Of the
occasion, Col. Jordan. speeches
were also made by Secretary
Weston and Treasurer Hyatt, OF
the State Association. All the

Many sensational reports were
sent out from here Of an appal
ling loss of lie, due probably TO
the chaotic condition of affairs
Immediately following the vista
ton of the storm.
A mass meeting of citizens of
Meridian was called today and
$4,000 was Immediately SUBJ
scrlbed to aid the destitute and
injured. The Mississippi Legis-
lature, in session at Jackson to-
day, appropriated $4,000 10 the
relief fund. Governor Vardaman
at noon obtaiued special train,
and, loading it with convicts
from the Rankin County farm
dispatched it at once to Meridian
The city now enjoys the UNIQUE
spectacle of State convicts aiding
in the rescue work.
The tornado which played such
frightful havoc appeared in the
southwest at 6.27 o'clock last
evening. A low, funnelshaped
cloud was seen to form near the
city. A heavy downpour of rain
had been falling when suddenly
the humidity became intense.
With a roar that could be heard
great distance, the storm ap.
preached from the southwest and
descended upon the clty. The
grea est loss of life is reported
from the east end, in what is
known as the "cOtton mill" set

there was partially wrecked and
probably 400 small houses we're
demolished or badly damaged
The tornado swept Front street
and wrought great damage there
Many houses were demolished
and others were partly dam

THAT BAKER "EARTHQUAKE."
Weather Observer and Other Victim,
of Hoax.

The earthquake which was felt ia
Paker City and vicinity last Thursday
morning, and which has been chroni-
cled by Weather Observer Grover as
a genuine earthquake, was no earth
quake at all in the accepted meaning
of the term, according to D. p. Stahl,
a prominent rancher living about eight
miles below town, according to the
Baker City Herald.
Mr.. Stahl, while not being a comos
constructor at all, is responsible for
that earthquake. He has RETAINED
from admitting his responsibility until
the cooling of the ardor of some of
the ranchers dowr theer whose cows
tried to jump over the moon. Now
that the bovines have settled down to
their customary life on the earth Mr..
Stahl tells how the earthquake was
caused.
He had box containing 40 pounds
OF dynamite and a threshing crow
fixed celebration whereby the dy-
Mantle was exploded Thursday morn
ing at o'clock. As a result all tho
cows and horses in that neighborhood
were knocked down and the wind
knocked out of them houses were
shaken window panes broken and the
old mountain crust given such a lar
that 1t was felt all over the valley.
The explosion tore hole I'm the
ground 80 feet long, 20 feet wide and
10 feet deep.

The Associated Press the represen-
tative of the plutocratic element in
the United States, which is doing
everything I'M its power to prejudice
the public mind against William J.
Bryan as a presidential candidate, has
just given Mr.. Bryan one of the
most valuable boosts, unawares, that
could be given. in its description of
his home and family and his domestic
life.
The article on the Bryan home and
its surroundings is as follows, and
shows Mr.. Bryan to be a common,
sensible, democratic citizen, without
ostentation or flourish and one whom
the nation need not fear to trust with
its great problems of government:
w. ]. Bryan is very much a home
man. His assertions along this line
are sincere. He thinks much of his
| neighbors and the farm house at
Fairview of simple elegance suits him
better than would a palace. Bryan
moved to the country short time be-
fore he made his second campaign
for the presidency. Up to that time
he had been living for many years in
small cottage at Lincoln. and from
its small front porch he began his
first campaign. After his defeat he
| purchased a farm east of this city.

| Normal, and that is the name of his
voting precinct, "Fairview' is simply
the name given his farm.
Normal is a tiny place of from 80
ot 100 inhabitants. There is a small
church, to which Bryan transferred
his letter from the First Presbyterian
| church of Lincoln when he moved
| from that town,

Mr.. Bryan is an interested part of

comes to town. Commonly he makes
his urban visits i'm an old spring

Fairview will be a model estate
some day. but now it lacks much OF
the scenic beauty sought by those who
establish country homes. 1t is a typ
ical Nebraska farm. its principal dis
advantage being the scarcity of trees.
In this state 80 years ago a tree was
an exceptional thing. But with civili-
zation came tree planters, and now in
the thickly settled portions of the state
trees are as abundant as they are In
any middle western state not in for
est section. Lincoln is a particularly
we'll shaded city, and all around IL
there are fine groves.
Mr.. Bryan, however, bought a farm
that was marked by few trees, and
the small ones planted by the new
owner have not yet grown to have
either material or scenic value. The

Home Comfortable, Not Sumptous.
The dwelling is a comfortable house
of brick, stone and frame, in an orna-
mental style. The rooms are large
and we'll lighted, the ceilings high
and the apartments sufficient to pro-
vide accommodations for many guests.
The house is home-like, not elabor-
ate. Many extravagant stories have
been written about the cost of the
furnishings in Mr.. Bryan's home, the
price of the celebrated marble" fire
place, and other creations of fancy
The truth Is that there are a dozen
homes in Lincoln equally well fur
nished; the fireplace and mantle, in
stead of costing $4,000, as one story
has 1t, cost nearer 5000, and there is
no attempt whatever at display or un-
due Indulgence in fittings or furnish
ings.
Mr.. Bryan's library is situated in
! the basement of the house, There is
a noticeable abundance of works on
history, political economy and the
great orations. Of the last named
particularly Mr.. Bryan has many vol
umes.
| Mr.. Bryan works hard when he
works, and he does the work himself.

cles are made in long hand, In that

around the world Mr.. Bryan has been
carrying a typewriter of the smallest
simplest variety. and this tiny ma
chine has been operated in almost
every country on the globe during the
last year. by Mrs. Bryan or Miss
! Grace.
Mrs. Bryan Helps With Speeches.
Mrs. Bryan does much library work
with her husband, and, being brill
liant women, she is of great assistance
to her husband in the preparation OF
addresses and articles. In their H.
brary they pass many hours together
and in this room there are held con-
ferences of various kinds ranging
from the deliberations of democratic
leaders to the ordinary visits made by
neighbors to talk about cattle, crops
and other similar topics.
Dances, card parties and fashiona-
BILE dinners are not included in the So
cial diversions of the Bryans.
The "lay'' of the Bryan farm is ex-
cellent for successful agriculture. It's
highest point is almost exactly in the
center of the tract of 10 acres, and
from the house the land slopes gently
to the four sides of the farm. Bryar
raises wheat corn. rye. alfalfa and
other products that flourish on Ne
braska soil. He raises good grain
too. having captured a medal at the
st. Louis worlds fair on an exhibit
of rye. and being a regular exhibitor
and prize winner at the Nebraska
state fair.
The owner of Fairview understands
livestock and he understands crop
raising. He has worked in the field:
along with the 'hired hands," running
the plow, pitching hay and feeding the
thresher. He is n great admirer oi
livestock and his hogs and cattle are
Of the best breeds.

His political work at home is never
offensive and he seldom talks politics
with his neighbors.
