houses was destroyed in the fire here
yesterday morning and the loss is es-
timated at $4,000. There was but lit
tie insurance. The fire broke out at
four O'Clock in the morning in the
skating rink and is thought to have
been started maiiciously. The fire
fighting facilities are poor. and altho'

had no chance against the flames and
they swept the half-block clean.

Part of the grocery stock was saved,
but very little was taken from the
other buildings. The loss in the drug
store is estimated at $4,000, of which
$4,000 is covered by insurance. This
was practically the only insurance
held on the block.

FRANK q. KELLOGG MAY
MANAGE CAMPAIGN

New York, July Frank B. Kel-
logg, committeeman from Minnesota,
is still a factor of prime interest in
the situation over the Craftsmanship
of the Republican national committee.
No formal offer has been made to
him, but it is the general belief in
political circles that he can have it
if he would indicate that he was in
such a position as to accept. Kellogg
and Committeeman Ward, of this
state, spent three hours yesterday ,
with President Roosevelt, during
which Mr.. Kellogg's objections to
taking the place, it is believed, were
set forth. The only reason that has
been interposed by the Minnesota
man so far is his prosecution for the
government of the suit to dissolve
the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
Kellogg first came into prominence
through his ability as prosecutor of
corporation cases, gaining the friend
ship of the President by his activity
in this respect.

Residents of South Hill declare
that they plainly saw a cyclone in
the direction of the Captain noun
tains last night. They state that in
spite of the distance they discern a
huge funnel-shaped cloud sailing
around the mountain and sweeping up
in the direction of the town of Capt.
tan. But considering the fact that a
cyclone was never heard of in this
country, and the fact that the suppos
ed cyclone was nearly hundred miles
away, many will consider it oaly a
cloud picture.

Der of New York delegates, and l be-
lieve that at the proper time they
will all be for me. From other parts
of the country also comes informa-
ton that my candidacy is favorable
with pledges of active support
Towne said he discussed at length
with Mr.. Bryan various planks, and
particularly that bearing on the issu-
a1ce of writs of injunction by feder-
al judges in labor cases. He emphat
ically stated that there will be no
straddle and no ambiguity on that
proposition. The anti-injunction
plank will be so framed as to meet
with favor from the large majority
of working men of the country.
Another plank which probably will

THE MEXICAN UPRISING
GREATLY EXAGGERATED

Dallas, Tex, July 2.-That the rev.
olution in Mexico is not revolving at
all and that reports of the uprising
there are greatly exaggerated is the
statement of J. c. Corwin, a promi-
nent man of Guanajuco, Mexico, who
| is here. Corwin has extensive inter
ests in Mexico, and since the first
rumors of trouble has been in com
munication by wire with representa-
tive citizens of the republic.
Il am able to state" said Corwin.
that this so-called revolution is moth
ing more than a sortie of organized
bands of robbers and desperadoes
who are covering their crookedness
under the guise of politics and pre-
tending to be engaged in patriotic
movement.
"These revolutions occur periodic
ally. They are melted by a few form
er MeXica1s who now reside in the
United States. They formerly made
headquarters in st. Louis, but were
run out of there.
There are men here who could
not go back to Mexico, just as there
can, who would not venture on this
side of the Rio Grande. These men
stir up trouble through agents in
Mexico. Their agents represent the
ignorant classes who pilage and rob
under the guise of patriotism. This
is another of these deep laid plans
to pillage.
Il have advices today that abso-
lutely convince me that there is no
fighting for more than so miles the
other side of the border. The report
of an attack on Torreon is unfounded.
The report that bridge had been
burned in Torreon, and that the
train had been backed up for fear of
running into bands of revolutionists
is untrue. The revolutionists in Mex
leo are as powerless to take over the
government as the Black Hand Socie
ty is to get control of the government
of the United States. They kill occas-
io1aliy and pillage, but that's all.
The reports received by the newspa
pers are exaggerated"
