THE NEWS At MIAGO
Republican Orator Makes a Spiel
Hayes Is Given Full Power.


Minco, Feb 1S This evening Silas
H. Reed, republican politician from
FL Reno. addressed the republican
club of this city. It was announced
that the meeting was to commemorate
the life Of Abraham Lincoln; but
this gentleman spent the greater part
Of his time abusing the constitutional
convention. He semed particularly
ineensea at the initiative and referen-
dunn, for he would jump off at all
sorts Of times and chew it up after
he already had that innocent measure
defaced beyond recognition. The only
argument he essayed to put forth,
however, was that it would scare cap
ital away from the new state to let
the people have any such say in what
the laws should be.
Mr. Reed also came oaEt sflatfooted
for whiskey and the open saloon. One
Of the vice presidents Of che meeting
IS the assistant superintendent Of the
Methodist Sunday school and the way
he flushed up when this verbose ar
gument was presented was proof
that he wasn't backing up the Honor
able Reed very far in his whiskey ar
gument even if there is money in the
saloon business.
He wound up on "Jim Crow, and
claimed democracy meant "disgrace,
dishonor and destruction" This is
ire frat, neetine the republicans have
been able to pull off here since long
before the campaign for constitutions
delegates began Another one like
that held tonight and the S6 votes the
Minco faithful were able to muster al
last election win dwindle to nothing
more rernunerative than fat, juicy
goose egg.
Captain Smith made nice little
talk on Lincoln before the ri Reno
fat man cut loose, Frank vickery
Nat Fggleston and couple Of Others
furnished some high grade music.

years Of age, was buried here today

the services. George was the sol
Of D.. W. w. Franklin. He was
member Of the Minco high school. H
had studious habits and robust health
but pneumonia proved too much fol
his vigorous constitution.
At a called meeting Of the Minct
Democratic club it was decided to re
call Delegate S. w Hayes instruction
as to the Jim Grow" law. Today
President Hughes Of the club sent hin
word that the Minco organization hat
full confidence in his ability to hand
lie the separate coach matter and tha
he was free to vote in accordance tt
his own best judgment without re
gard to former pledges. The fact il
well understood here that republi
can president would be only too glat
to keep democratic Oklahoma out Il
the union, and Minco democrats do no
want to give him any excuse for sucl
an act.

TWO HOUSES ARE
BURNED At ADAMsTON
Miners Cottages ., Adanston with
Contents Are De-
steoyed.

Two houses were destroyed Thurs
day afternoon at Adamston by fire
and two families are homeless as the
result. yes. three families are in
that shape, as one house had to be
rolled over the bank to save 1t from
the flames.
The houses belonged to the Fair
mont & Baltimore Coal & Coke Com
pany, and those burned were occu-
pied by Joe Menard and family and
Emery Terrell and family. The
house rolled over the bank was oc-
cupied by Mike Rogoski.
The blaze was discovered about
1880 o'clock in the afternoon and
was under such great headway that
nothing could be done to save the
houses. AT the time only the women
folk were at home, but when the
alarm was given a number of per-
sons rushed to the scene and sue
ceeded in saving some OF the house
hold goods. The major portion OF
the household effects. however. were
burned.
The house dumped over the hill
was not vacated Of It's contents, ex.
cept that the family got out safe.
The origin is unknown, but 1t Is
believed the FIRE started from de-
fective gas connections.
The loss to each family is from
$500 to $500. The company's loss
is $1,000 but is partially covered by
insurance.
