\ The fire department did ex.

tire and keeping it from adjolu.
ing property, where it surely
would have gone had it not
have been kept within slow
bounds.
1t meant the destruction of
one of the most complete and
perfect homes in the city.
The most destructive fire ia
the city was the McCarty bust.
ness block nine years ago, and
the next greatest loss was that
of the First Baptist Church
three weeks later.

all of the jewelry has been re

PROCTOR
Fire, Second Most Destructive In the
History Of the City.

DR.. Thomas Proctor and fami
ly attended PRAYER meeting
Wednesday night, Sept. rs and
upon their return home discov.
cred their elegant home corner
Vine and Court Streets to be
afire.
To them and others the fire
seemed to be in the furnace
room and the back OF the house.
We suppose the true origin
will never be known, for there
had been no tire in the furnace,
but had Leeu IN the CRATE above
it in the library. So it may
have been from the crate or the
electric wires that entered the
north and west side,
The fire burst forth in its fury
from Gel ar to garnet up vest
wall and it was seen from the
very start that the building was
doomed for the fire not only
covered the cellar, the west
wall, but was under the heavy
metal MansIrd roof.
With the exception Of the
greater portion OF the silver,
wh,cn was taken out of the din
ing room window, practically
nothing VS. saved.
The handsome $3.50 piano,
pictures, everything in the liz
brary and eH;jre home inc nd
ing some 81. 800 worth of jewel
ry in Mrs. Proctor's room was
lost.
jamie n4d about $500 worth
OF goods in his room that would
have warmed the cookies in the
heart of al Indian Territory
hunter or of a fisher on the
great lakes and athletic goods
to a fare-you-well.
The entire loss would amount
to from Sl4, 900 to $4,000 and
there was only 81 500 insurance
to cover it.
The fire came within an ace
of proving fatal to Dr.. Proctor.
He had entered the library once
from the door opening on south
porch and then ran out for a
bucket of water He returned
in a moment and entered the
room only step or two when
fash. there was au explosion of
gases. His hands went up in
time to cover his mouth and
partially save his face. He
was partly blown aud partly
staggered out of the room. He
was badly burned all around
the edges of his hair Under his
hat, the ears, singed, eyelashes
burned away and two days
later there was pulled bisters
under each eye as large as pig

Palmyra, Mo-, Sept. 28.-
About 3 o'clock yesterday morn

farm, a few miles distant from

were forty tons of hay stored in
the barn which is a total loss.

were burned to death.
The hay and the pigs were

Capt. Brown and Senator Stookey of

who is to be candidate for state senator
from the DECATUR Union Ringgold dis
trict. Both candidates are from Decatur
county. Senator Stookey is the present
incumbent. He wishes to be a candidate
again and Capt. Brown has intimated to
his friends that he proposes to be can
didate. Under the state wide primary if
both candidates come out in the same
county some candidate from one of the
other counties is likely to take the
plum. Senator Stookey has proposed
that they call delegate convention in
Decatur county and leave it to the con-
vention. Capt. Brown came back with
the counter proposition that it be
left to primary of the county the ex-
pense OF the primary to be borne equal
" by the two candidates. Thus far
this has not been accepted by Stookey.
