Thursday morning in the home of ]. II.
Kiniry at Windsor When Kiniry went to
fix the furnace fire he found the cellar
full of smoke and he had barely time to
get Mrs. Kiniry and son, Raymond, out
in their night clothes and save a few
books and furniture. The fire evidently
caught in the timbers over the furnace.
The firemen worked until noon when there
still remained fire in the partitions. Prac-
tlcally everything in the house was ruined.
The loss on the house was $4,000, on fur
niture $4,000, total insurance $2500. Fireman

Dear Sir:-You telephoned me last
night asking if l had given out an in
lal nomination for 1908. I advised you
then that had not. l have not been, am
not now and will not be candidate for
that nomination. l have been urged by
so many friends to become a candidate
that it now seems just to let them know
my position definitely i'm order TO relieve
them of embarrassment in their attitude
to other men who may be interested In
the nomination. l sincerely thank all who
have indicated to me in various ways
offers of a generous support.
You are at liberty to publish the con-
tents of this note.
Yours very truly
JOS. \. DeBOER.
1t is a well-known fact that Mr.. De-
Boer has been urged by many leading
citizens TO allow the use of his name
as a candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for governor next year and II is
also well known that he has invariably
declined to make such authorization. II
any doubt remained in any quarter in
this connection, it has been removed by
Mr.. DeBoers letter. Mr. DeBoer is rec
OgniZed as a man who would honor the
high Office of governor and who would
make a progressive, energetic and efficient
executive. Mr.. DeBOer is still In the full
flush of vigorous manhood and 1t is not
improbable that in the not far distant
future he may be found at the head Of our
state government.
